An MRI revealed a badly blown disc, I wound up having to have a laminectomy (L4/L5). Best advice - don't wait. These things don't get better on their own.

Thank you Boru. I'm going to wait for one more week and see about the pain. Definitely going to see a neurologist if the pain persists. Did you had to do surgery in your case?
Yes, that's what a laminectomy is. The back pain and the leg pain/numbness was being cause by vertebrae pressing on the sciatic nerve. They went and cut out the little bits of bone that were causing the trouble.
