My Achy Breaky Back

My achy back strikes again, this time around, maybe due to a prolonged lapse, it came back with vengeance.
It all started on Monday morning (Thaipusam hol). I woke up feeling kinda stiff and 'lenguh-lenguh' all over. BUT, I was still able to get up off bed and walk normally. Still didn't suspect anything.
By noon, I was starting to have difficulty getting up from a sitting position and vice-versa. I started to realize then that my slipped-disc was trying to push its way back into my 'normal' life all over again. I think it was trying to say "Hello, long time no see. Thought you have forgotten me... I'm still here, a thorn in your back!".
By evening, my worst fears are confirmed. My legs were badly aching too. It was just like before. Took some pain killers and applied the necessary medicine to the achy body parts.
Will hold off making an appointment with the doc and see how it goes.
