I can't help but notice the number of commenters who say that they made a particular movement (bending down. picking something up, twisting, etc.) when "suddenly" something popped, tore, or some other kind of relatively simple simple thing happened. In my own case after seemingly have recovered from a bad fall (about 7 months), I was out weed whacking. You know how you sort of twist your torso back and forth. Well, I finished up and went into the house. About and hour or so later all this pain came rushing in... lower back, buttocks, down my right leg to my foot. All the pain that I thought had been resolved. I had not felt that since my accient. With all that said, I am curious as to how many of you had any kind of accident or something else that brought you pain, but then subsided until that "sudden" return.

It sounds like your weed whacking movements/twisting and vibration of the tool aggravated nerves that haven’t been irritated in a while. I have this happen to me when I do something new or when I do something I haven’t done in a while. I aggravate everything and pay a price for a while until things calm down again. The best you can do is stretch/strengthen core and limbs and warm up before doing any activities and not do too much at one time. Take regular breaks and work in smaller chunks of time. It may help to pre-apply nerve pain medication or patch and back brace to help control wide ranging movements.
