Why Do I Have Pressure In My Lower Spine?
I am a 43 year old female and have had back pain several years ago that was a nerve of some sort. Now I recently have been having pain in my spine when I sit or put pressure on it. It feels different than the nerve pain and does feel like pressure in the lower spine. What could be going on?

Hi
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com
As you are having pain in lower spine region, I would like to know if this pain radiates to any of your legs. Also, do you have numbness or abnormal sensations in your legs? If yes, that may be a pinched nerve in your spine and you might need a MRI of lumbo-sacral spine to evaluate the same. Otherwise also, MRI will help in diagnosing.
