If it was caused by disc herniation, trauma, tumors or abscess, the symptoms appeared suddenly, and surgical decompression should be performed within 48 hours.
This is similar to sciatica, but the herniation is usually larger, and more nerves are compressed, including those that control the bladder and reproductive organs.
And poor posture, traumas, physical activity, and strong rotational movement can cause herniations where the intervertebral disc bulges out and compress the nerves or spinal cord.
