Yep. I have a couple of degenerating discs. Yoga/core work helps stabilise and strengthen around this but as you say there are days when the bulge presses up against the nerve. It’s a long term issues 5 years ago needed steroid injections to get me to a point where I could do rehab work to reduce the symptoms. It just comes back to haunt me at inopportune moments - though to be honest there is never a good time to be incapacitated and in pain doing normal things like breathing!

If it's disc based then likely that it's protruding for some time and then the day of high levels of pain is when it finally decided to impinge on your nerve.
