Coincidentally, I go back to the doctor today for a two-week check-up. The initial prognosis (via xray) was that I have some degeneration of the L5 - S1 (?) disk, but there was no indication of rupture or herniation. Appeared to be a muscular-ligament problem. This actually what I suspected, but the pain with this particular episode was far worse than I had ever experienced before, so I was worried. Not being able to walk for a couple of days was a real eye-opener.
I appear to have dodged a huge bullet. The doctor mentioned the possibility of an MRI today, but I think I am out of the woods.
Thanks again for everyone's repsonses - helped me a lot.
Mike
