    Then maybe you caught it in time. Mine was a bulging disc, but I thought it was PS. I let it go until the pain traveled down my leg before going for help with it. Mistake. Had to be cured with rest, several steroid injections in my lower spine, and some PT/Yoga. I still do the yoga I learned to keep it from happening again, and I had to build up a very strong core to avoid re-injury. Took a while but was worth it. The added benefit of the strong core is that I can now run, and could not before without risking injury.
