I have degenerate disc disease and my lumbar back just started hurting real bad. i bent down and come back up and boom, pain, can't walk, sit, rise, bend?

Go get CT/ MRI: Your description suggests a herniated disc has occurred and is pinching nerves. The exams help identify which disc(s) are the culprit and you can consult with a spine surgeon to help determine if you may benefit from injections, medicines alone or surgery.
