A member asked:

a few common causes: You could have nerve irritation from scar tissue, a new disc herniation or narrowing around 1 or more nerves. There are also other possible causes like the sacroiliac joints or irritated muscles. In my office you would get x-rays and MRI to get a better look at the spine and nerves. Therapy or injections could help.
