I worked as first surgical assist with a spine surgeon for 3 years. It is unusual, but it did happen. The problem is, most people do not believe that is what the problem is, in such a young person. I remember this one young man, about your age with the same disc herniated. He was in agony, but his football coach thought it was just muscle pain, and sent him back into the game. He got instant relief of his leg pain after we removed the large disc fragment pressing on his S1 nerve root. Too bad he had to suffer for so long before someone believed in his symptoms and examined him .
