The pains can be of different types such as pain that travels to the buttocks, legs, and feet, pain that is worse after prolonged sitting, pain that feels better when changing positions, pains that are worse after waking up, etc.
Osteoarthritis results in wear and tear damage to the bones. This prompts the body to try and grow extra bones in an effort to make a stronger spine. Instead of strengthening the spine, these overgrowths have a chance to press on the spinal cord and nerves which are the delicate areas in the spine. This pressing results in pain in the lower back.
It is a condition where the disc placed between the spinal bones ruptures making the inner portion of the disc called the nucleus, which is soft, protrude through the hard exterior ring called the annulus. This is most usually caused by wear and tear damage to the outer ring of the discs.
