Great question, a lot depends on how much orf it is bulging. With that said find chiropractor and see what you are told. I helped and am still helping a lot of people with this condition.
It depends upon what is meant by a bulging disc.
Lots of normal discs bulge.
The problems occur if the bulge, or hernia is real big, or the bulge has lots of tears in it. Or a problem occurs if the bulge pinches a nerve causing nerve pain.

Yes. In fact, most bulging discs, or disc herniations, resolve spontaneously without surgery. Your body essentially re-absorbs the disc material and reconstitutes the disc. This is the case in 80-90% of acute disc herniations. So long as you don't have profound or progressive weakness, dense constant numbness, or issues with bowel or bladder movements, most surgeons will wait anywhere from 8-12 weeks before recommending surgical management.
