Sounds a bit like what happened when my L4 bulged (had previously had an L5S1 discectomy and at first was worried that rebulged and had more probs but turned out to be L4. Not to be outdone L5S1 at some point rebulged too..

How long ago did the lifting then new symptoms happen? Just wondering in terms if a wait and see if it goes away period has already passed. It would seem some new films would reveal if there is something going on at L4 to be concerned about or have a treatment plan initiated to the area if it is L4. Good luck with whatever might be going on and if you are so inclined please keep us posted.
