Just adding to the thread. I herniated my L1,L2 and L3 and bulged L4 and L5. I fell a total of 2 feet, but landed very poorly on a set of stairs and it hit me in JUST the right way. It took a very long time to recover and part of that was me taking my time to go to a doctor thinking it couldn't have been that big a deal, it was 2 feet.
Go asap and I really hope it's nothing major. Good luck bud.
