Hi, I was diagnosed with a herniated disk a few months ago. I can t remember the exact disk, but it was L something. I was prescribed medication for pain management, had a spinal epidural and did many physical therapy sessions. I m very active (crosssfit and jogging), which I stopped for several weeks. I recently resumed without any real issues making sure my core was always engaged. However, this morning while doing a lift my back popped and I felt a poof inside the lower back. I dropped the weight ut instantly got light headed and passed out for a few moments. My coach turned me on my back and elevated my legs. I ve been feeling agonizing pain in my lower back and can only walk bent. I ve been lying on a heating pad on/off throughout the day, however the pain is almost crippling upon getting out of bed to use the bathroom. My residence has stairs and I cannot go up/down. My doctor is out of town, do I need to go to the ER or wait until her return on Monday?
