To the people who repaired their backs after herniated/bulging disc injuries, to the point you can lift heavy again without pain, how did you do it?

I've had a bulging disc for years from deadlifting. Before that I used to lift 6 days a week. I haven't lifted heavy or much since. Whenever I tried I would just get horrible sciatica and back pain. I've been doing cardio (low impact spin bike and some stairmaster) and core exercises sporadically and I have to admit I haven't seen much progress in recovery. I know alot of that is due to lack of consistency but still I wasn't getting encouraged. I know strengthening the core is the way to get to better. But how exactly do I do this? How did you do this? What regiment did you use and what exercises were you performing and how often? Did you do these core exercises through pain? Did you lift through pain? Were you doing cardio? If so, what kind? Thank you for all the help.
