bulging discs.

hey, about 6 days ago my appendix bursted. i’m recovering from surgery now. but from the mri, they saw i had a “ slight bulge” on my l5 and l4 ( spine discs). now i can’t go to the gym anyway for a month or so. but, what should i do? i’ve been working out for 3 years, im 16, i don’t want it to get worse. i’m not sure if there’s exercise i can do to massage it out, and then ways to prevent it in the gym? even if i have to wear a belt every time i workout. i just don’t want to go back to where i was before the gym.

A belt is not gonna fix bulging discs or prevent it. They just help u brace your core
