@ pool the great, I've lived with back pain since my late 20's I'm now 63, as others have said take care of your back now because later you will regret it if you do not. My pain is also from degenerative disc disease and surgery is not a real option, the surgeons I went to said they would not operate because scare tissue would just make things worse, I'm thankful for honest doctors.
You should go to a doctor to get a x-ray first, then if an MRI is necessary the doctors will let you know. You do not need to see a neurologist/neurosurgeon first that can get expensive fast. You have time enough to go through the doctors as they are needed. I will tell you this laying around doing nothing will not help the pain go away if it's not a serious injury, I know from over 30 years of dealing with the pain. Again go to your regular doctor soon and find out what the problem is, once it's fixed take good care of your back you want regret it. This is advice from experience, I'm no doctor but I've seen many, good luck.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
