Nothing like being overcome by fear driven hysteria and giving a silly response. In your view, how many cyclists have ever been struck by a blowdart in the Western World in the last 100 years? One, two?
Maybe it was a meteorite, ya think?
My personal experience with L4-5 herniated disks is that "shooting" pain shows up in the upper buttock or down a leg or even in a foot. After surgery, occasional soreness does show up at the incision site in the lower back.
Good luck at the doctor's for a good diagnosis.
