If you have pain down your legs or bum cheeks, could be you popped a disc.

Sorry to hear that Marco. I've had a popped disc, I tried to work through it and I finished up under the knife. My advice is get it checked as soon as possible, you may need an MRI to know for sure its your disc. If it's serious, working through it could make it worse. It also may be a good idea to go see a good accredited physio, they can work wonders (but not quickly or cheaply!) And keep away from chiropractors, they nearly destroyed me with my disc problem!
 
I hurt my back a few years ago, takes a good few weeks to recover, found ice/ frozen peas on the sore part help a bit, as did being lay flat. Doctor gave me strong tablets for the pain, made me feel bit light headed and sick, but took the edge off the back pain.
Good luck, been there and its horrible, hope you feel better soon

Do a Ranolph Fiens.
Go to your shed and remove the offending object yourself with an implement out of your tool box
