Smile Back pain .... strange snap sound...gone

Hey everyone!

Happy new year and all that jazz!

About 2 weeks ago I was cooking a meal, I bent forward to open the lower oven (carrying nothing) when suddenly a searing pain went through my lower back and left leg. For a few days I couldn't stand up by myself etc. with time this improved, however sitting in a car for 1/2 hour would be very painful. I was starting to fear returning to work, having to sit flying for the day would be agony.

Anyways whilst sitting down today there was what I can only describe as a snapping sound, it felt like my spine twisted, and then sheer bliss.... no more pain!! I can bend foward fine, sitting down doesn't hurt etc. Great.
The question is: What do you think happened, any ideas how it resolved itself, and finally how do I avoid having it happen again?

Cheers, Tom.
