Over 10 years ago, I herniated L5. When it happened, I knew it. Massive pain went down the right leg. Numbness, tingling, couldnt move my big toe, and couldnt sit in a seated upright position without pain for longer than 7 sec. Went through a fucking year of therapy. I was released and allowed to deadlift and squat again.
Since then, Ill feel a back 'pop' here and there, followed by muscles tensing up around where ever the pop would arise. Id immediately stop doing what I am doing, usually seek a doc. Then theyd go through the gambit of disc tests. I rest, recover, then come back to the gym. This was likely due to a QL spasm or injury.
Feb 15 was on the left side, not the right like years ago.
My question is, how the fuck would you know the difference? I dont have shooting pain like I did with the L5 injury, but I have it sometimes. QL has similar symptoms, but is a night and day difference or quite similar?
Primary doc visit is Thur and specialist is the next Thur. Not fucking around this time, hence the stock question sent out to Sherdog to ease or panic me more.
Cheers
