If your MRI shows a herniation, head to PT, don't do anything else yet.

I don't know how or why this happened. I woke up with a pain in my lower back, sat down on a low wooden stool and almost wasn't able to stand up. I have a history of kidney stones and was sure I had another one. After a couple days went to the VA ER. (I am a disabled Veteran). They ran me thru a CAT Scan, and said it was L-3 in my spine, no kidney stones found. I was scheduled for a MRI last week, but was too sick in bed to have it done, they rescheduled the MRI to October 25th.
