Sorry to hear you are in so much pain.
If I were you I would take the MRI images to a different doctor to see what he says. Having a bulging discs are almost as as bad as herniated discs and can be excruciating.
Although it applies to a different vertebra is an Atlas Correction. I was suffering from immense neck pains, I felt like I couldn't live any longer, and that simple one-time treatment has helped me tremendously. You may want to have a look here:

There are many things that can be done, even though it is hard it would be too early to give up.
Best of luck.
Have u thought about alternative treatment such as a chiropractor? U may find more answers there than with western medicine:)
