It's a bulge in a spinal disk at a specific point. Usually the result of injury or lifting too much or improperly. A disk bulge can often heal given time and a little common sense. Minor disk injury is common and often we don't even notice unless it starts to push on the spinal column and pinch a nerve. However it can cause inflamation and muscle spasms that can result in incredible pain. Typically, the disk doesn't actually hurt, it's the body's attempt to keep the spine aligned and take pressure from the injured disk that ends up being painful. Muscles will be contracted to take pressure off the inflamed area, resulting in muscle spasm and that's where the pain usually comes from. Take it easy and follow your doctors recommendation and it will get better. Also, slowly build strength and flexibility in the back muscles to minimize the pain from the spasms. You doctor probably gave you some flexibility and strengthening exercises... follow them.
