Let me state for starters that I am not a doctor nor a nurse, however, it sounds like the protrusion could be putting pressure on your S1 (siatica nerve root.). You may need to have your doctor do an EMG to test this nerve out.
Good Luck.
It seems like once you get a back problem you always have one.
