Hello,
The nerves travelling from your spine to your lower body get trapped by the bone structures in your back. This can cause pain, sensory disturbances and muscle weakness in your legs and back pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen
