Any type of exertion, trauma, or external force to the lower back, followed by acute pain in the lower back and gradually radiating to the limbs, the onset is frequently sudden.
The aggravating factors for pain can be long-standing, sitting, coughing, or sneezing, and is relieved by lying down.
In the distal limb pain can be in the form of tingling or numbness.
