Wow damn sorry to hear that, man. That has to be rough and I myself am getting ready for when the pain comes from my degenerating lower back discs so taking as much care to not add any trauma to my lower back.
My last MRI showed all the discs i have left in my lumbar and to either side are bulged and half are herniated. Along with having a few other things going on. But it really doesn't cause any pain so far. Not all back problems lead to pain.
