Herniated Disc?

I'm going through something similar. You'll probably wind up getting Xrays, an MRI, and then seeing an orthopedic back specialist who may or may not recommend surgery.

Like Everyone Above Said, Go To The Doctor; I Would Recommend A Neurosurgeon. Doesn't mean You Need Surgery, But You Need A Diagnosis. I Have 2 herniated discs that gradually have improved 100% Over The Last 5 Years without surgery. You Need To Be Checked, Though, Brother!

Im going to see a doctor if my pain either increases, or doesn't go away within the next few weeks.

If You Have "Radiculopathy".; i.e., Pain Shooting down your leg or legs or you get "Footdrop" (Your Foot is difficult to raise up), Go "Immediately" To The Neurosurgeon! If Not, You Could have some permanent weakness, or nerve damage. Good Luck.

Well, I don't have any pain shooting down my leg, so thats a good sign. I can raise my foot fine as well.

Still A Good Idea To See Someone.

You Don't Want To Hit The Weights again and make it worse.
