One trial showed that 60% of people were fully recovered within 3 months, and 70% of people were better within a year (4).
Early diagnosis, intervention, and correct physical and psychological management will make it less likely that your pain will become persistent.
The most frequent cause of this nerve irritation is a herniated disc in the spine, where the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes out and presses on the nerve root. Other potential spinal causes include
- spinal stenosis,
- spondylolisthesis, or
- bone spurs,
all of which can lead to nerve compression and result in burning, sharp, or shooting pain.
Spondylolisthesis refers to the slipping of a bony vertebra out of its normal position, typically forward over the vertebra below it. This condition can result from a stress fracture (spondylolysis), degenerative changes, congenital defects, trauma, or disease.
