Greyghost is not correct. There is a very good possibility that there is no disc involved. Can you lie on your back and raise your legs a few inches off the ground w/o intense pain? Does it hurt if you take a breath and bear down like you were constipated? No to the first question may indicate a disc problem, Yes to the second question indicates the same.
I'm a chiropractor and see this same thing in my office every day. 95% of these cases result in complete resolution w/o surgery. Take the conservative approach first, go see a chiropractor. Give it a few weeks (more than likely this has been an ongoing process in your body for a while and it won't go away with one adjustment) and if you aren't getting any results then check in with a neurosurgeon.
PM me if you have any questions.
