James,
I'm a (former) cervical sufferer (4 levels) and as such don't have any lumbar experience that might be helpful to you. As silly as a sneeze is, my first episode was set off in 1999 by throwing a baseball to my then 14 year old, and my second three years later by raising my hands above my head and stretching.
There is a lot of lumbar experience on this board that will be chiming in soon with their relevant experiences.
Good luck!
Jeff
