Cand Disc Herniation Cause Massive Spasms?

I've been fighting a "diagnosed disc herniation" at the l4/l5 level.
Last night I had a wicket spasm that felt like it was chocking my nerve
alway the way down to my toes.... Is this possible? I've been
diagnosed with so many things that I just don;t know what my real
problem is??? SI joint, Facet joint, and disc herniation. I can lift
my leg about 45 deg before my hamstring gets tight... MRI shows disc
prolapse but a few doctors said it isn't that big, including a
Neurosurgeon...

current symptoms are occasional tingling, not all the way down, tho, it
hops and skips down my leg... not much back pain, hip pain seems worse,
same with spasms, the hip spasms seem worse, and some groin pain....
I'm currently seeing a physiatrist he's trying manuplations, he managed
to pop my L5 joint once, the second time I couldn't take the pain of
the position I had to be in...

Just wondering if there are any suggestions out there?
