The orthopedist even said to do the yoga instead of any shots. Now feeling perfect!! (and I do yoga every morning!!)

That's pretty much my scenario, too. I went to the doc, who said I had a herniated disc as well as minor muscle spasms (which I've had before a few times). The pain I was having was due to pressure on the sciatic nerve. He gave me a bunch of back stretches and exercises to do at home, and I'm already feeling better!
