A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back pain: The L4/5 level is a common area for injury in the lumbar spine. The pain can be caused by a tear or protrusion in the disc, a pinched nerve from the joint or disc, and from an inflamed facet joint that connects one level with the other level. A sports or lifting injury can cause a fracture of the pars interarticularis. Often the the pain resolves without surgery. Bracing the back may help too.
