I had a really odd slip at work. I never fell, but two co-workers and a manager heard a loud pop! when I grabbed a lift post to avoid falling. they said it sounded like a mammoth home run being hit. Little did I know what was to come. Fractured disc, diagnosis HNP L5S1, with additional HNP L4-5. I could not lift my left leg the morning I woke up symptomatic and my back was bent in the middle like a "C" even though I was standing straight as I could. I had to lift my leg at the knee with my pajama pants with my hand to walk. I felt like someone was driving a rapier into my ass cheek, through my pelvis and into my spine. My left foot felt like I was walking with a cold, wet sock on that was filled with sand. The left leg was numb pretty much for the entire anterior part and most of my left foot.
When I could finally see the doctor it easily took me 5 minutes to walk the 25 feet to get into the office.
