Slipped Disc. Can I lose my medical because of it?

Firstly, I apologize for posting on this section, however it does seem to be the busiest, and I figured i'd get the most responses from people that have gone through the same thing maybe.

Having been a weight lifter and an athlete for the past 6 years, I believe I have really strained my back recently.
Woke up 2 weeks ago with discomfort in my lower back. Though the pain does not extend to my legs like it usually does with a slipped disc, I believe there is always a chance.

I should be seeing a Doctor next week, but am just wondering as I am getting very worried about this.
In the case that it IS infact a slipped disc, could I lose my license?
Is this something that cannot be fixed?
Is there someone going through the same problem?
