Cause #1 is Herniated Disc. A herniated disc refers to a problem whit one or more of the rubbery cushions (discs)between the individual bones (vertebrae) that stuff up to make your spine. This may result in pain, numbness or weakness in your arm or leg. Symptoms of herniated disc(s) may include pain when bending forward, increased pain with sitting/driving, pain that travels from the back down the leg and pain relief when bending backwards. Pain may be described as tingling, numbness, burning sensation down the leg. Cause #2 is Arthritis, Degenerative Disc Disease, Stenosis. This is the narrowing of the open spaces within your spine to your ams and legs. Spinal Stenosis occurs most often the lower back and neck and can sometimes occur with no signs or symptoms. However, when symptomatic pain from spinal stenosis can be described as tingling, numbness, burning sensation, muscle weakness, and problems with normal bladder and bowel function. Symptoms of spinal stenosis may include pain with long periods of standing and walking and pain that come on with standing and walking and relief from sitting. Cause #3 is SI Joint/Pelvic Dysfunction. This is the inflammation of one or both of your sacroiliac joints- situated where your lower spine and pelvis connects. Sacroiliitis can cause pain in your buttocks or lower back, and can extend down one or both legs. Prolong standing or stair climbing can worsen the pain. Sacroiliitis can be difficult to diagnose, because it can be mistaken for other causes of lower back pain. Its been linked to a group of diseases that cause inflammatory arthritis of the spine.
