Hi Michael,
Usually if you have a ruptured disc one of the signs is pain down into buttock or even to the legs, but this isn't always the case or an absolute, the best way is to see a physician who will order diagnostics, x-rays or MRI to confirm. I have strained my back moving a heavy bed bound patient and had the same complaints of difficulty walking and increased stiffness and pain when sitting though was relieved alittle with standing back extensions, it cleared up after about 3 weeks with a gradual decrease in pain and returned to yoga and gym regime with little after effects, I just had to modify my activities accordingly. i did not have a disc problem rather a muscle problem which is 100% better. Oh, I'm a physio as well so knew how to manage it.

Subject: [Kundalini Yoga] severe back pain
Dear fellow yogis,
could someone advise me on what to do after i severely strained my back. I can barely walk since the incident (2 days ago), and am having a tough time on my sadhana. I had to drop the sun salutations and wake up series. is there an easy way to tell if i ruptured a disk or something like that? the back feels normal to the touch, but I can't tolerate sitting and it stiffens up, making movement a real adventure....
Sat Nam
Michael
