How do you know if your bulging disc has turned into a herniated, or ruptured disc?

My doctor did a lumber MRI like 2 months ago because of some back, and leg pain I was having and found out I have a bulging disc. I am going in for an epidural injection in my back on monday, but just the last few days my pain has gotten A LOT worse. My back is KILLING me. I am in so much pain I cant even bend over. Every time I sneeze or cough etc Im almost in tears. At my physical therapy I go to, today I was in tears just from the normal simple exercises I do. My physical therapist suggested that maybe my pain has intensified because maybe my bulging disk is now herniated, or ruptured... Could that possibly be the reason for my EXTREMELY intensified pain?
