A doctor has provided 1 answer

This history suggests you may have a herniated disc in your back with compression of the nerve on the left, or at least a lot of inflammation around disc causing irritation to the nerve. Best to have Dr eval, possibly some steroids short term, & physical therapy. Meanwhile Ice to the area every few hours & anti inflammatory cream & meds can help, & gentle movement (NOT prolonged bedrest )
