@TheCoolestCat you might be lucky and not have slipped a disk at all, it could be anything, pinched nerve, although if you got pain running down the back of your leg, and you felt like someoe hit you with a cattle prod its might be sciatica ,,which is often a herniated disk..it just seems really unusual for it to happen how it did, its usually a fall, or bending to pick something up at the waist and twisting. Rest up how ever you feel most comfortable and let things settle down a while, the muscles can go into spasm which will tighten and pull your spine to one side, so staying still might let it unwind..then..go see the doc!

edit cause my typing sucks at 2am, good luck mate
