Specializes in Pain Management

Possible Disc issues: Sitting can place more pressure on a lower back spinal disc which can then cause low back pain with radiation to the buttocks or the legs depending on the condition of the disc. A full examination by your Health Care Provider is needed and may lead to a MRI exam to deliniate the exact problem.
