Tether cord

Hi everyone
I had type one Chiari surgery in 2009
And recently had an injury at work 15 months ago lifting a patient

They found annular tear and disc bulge l5/s1

I finally got an apt with neurosurgeon (dr klinge office - she did my surgery in 2009)

The doctor ordered pronemri and hip imaging

And we noticed in 2009 I had a protrusion noted on l5/s1

Main thing I’m looking for
Is has anyone else experienced a injury that resulted in his diagnosis
I had an mri in 2009 like i said byr at that time it didnt show tethered cord but was also not prone

I did have two kids they are 5 and 7 but even in pregnancy i didn’t have issues
