Why do I feel pain in my buttocks or legs? |
|
 |
Muscle imbalances can affect the normal spinal curvature, which then can cause the fluid inside the discs to be dispersed incorrectly causing a bulge in the disc. This bulge can put pressure on the nerves, which causes pain/discomfort to areas in which the nerve innervates. |
