A member asked:

Sciatic pain and now general aches all over. what did i do wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing: Half of the time patients have not done anything and the other half had some type of inciting event. As we age so do our discs but also our genes that we have inherited from our parents may play a role too.
