Been doing these stretches and exercises for a couple of days now and I am getting the strangest sensations ever in my left leg, a sort or weakness and tightness that goes all the way down to my toes. 

It's really hard to explain, closest thing I can compare it to is getting a full blown hard on whilst wearing the tightest trousers imaginable.

Maybe the best way is to hold back on any stretches and exercises untill you have been diagnosed properly.

Clearly something has moved or out of line etc and you doing what you think is beneficial to your back is the wrong approach so to speak.

See what the physio says first they will tell you what exercises and stretches will benefit you..

You got to look after your back..

I did go see the physio and he gave me these exercises to do. 

I'm not in pain but it's giving me symptoms I've had before, tightness and weakness down my leg, especially in my calf.

Cen60 even heavier than 113 pound sod all that I remember after a hard shift every muscle and sinew used to ache keeps you fit and strong as long as you can avoid injury but as  said on this thread previously people don’t warm up.

Too fckn long mate, truth is mate I didnt need to be doing it Im the fckn supervisor but I'll not see lads struggle when I can muck in and it was a job and knock, the other superviser there 20 years younger than me wouldnt lift a finger tired c@nt

I still remember where I come from when I was on the cranes I used to always help all my old pway mates out, and now if I attend an incident where a bit of graft is needed I get stuck in, I’m a Mom now ( Mobile Operations Manager ) so life is a lot easier but obviously a lot more responsibility best job I’ve had on the railway and I’ve moved about a bit.

Fair play for getting stuck in with the boys.

They will have more respect and graft harder when needed if you are decent to them

Did you hear the audio of the signaller who passed a train through a protecting signal a while back, nearly took out a gang of 5, very lucky not to have killed at least some of them

I haven’t heard that one but I get to hear loads of poor communications and sometimes it’s basic stuff and still people get it wrong.
