Your discs are the substances between the vertebrae in your spine that act as cushions. They are what allow your spine flexibility along with stability and absorb the shocks that come along with movement. As you get older, these discs start to degenerate and, in some cases, it can happen at an abnormally young age. As the discs break down, they can become thinner or they can bulge or herniate. As this happens, nerves may get pressed on, causing pain and inflammation. Even when the herniation is due to picking up heavy objects improperly, it is often because of the underlying degeneration.
Sciatica refers to pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, which originates in the lower spineas a combination of several nerves from the lumbosacral region.
