Brief Answer:
Might be due to uneven loading.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I suspect that the root cause behind the problem (at your age) would be due to sudden lifting/bending strain of the
lumbar spine (lower back) during activities of daily living, that might have gone unnoticed.
Any sort of an activity that puts additional load or strain over the lower lumbar spine is going to make your condition worse. So, keep this in your mind while working out at the Gym.
Yeah, there is one more option (via media solution) which is worth trying in case of MILD
DISC PROTRUSION, and that is OZONOLYSIS or OZONE
DISCECTOMY. This procedure involves the injection of ozone inside the affected
intervertebral disc. When injected, Ozone (O3) breaks down into O2 and O (single oxygen) and rapidly dissolves the water in the disc.
It causes shrinkage of the disc, thus reducing its volume and lessening pressure on the nerves. The treatment relieves pain substantially and, after two sittings, people 'can go back to work under medical guidance'.
A reduction in
herniated disk volume is one of the therapeutic aims of intradiscal administration of medical ozone, as disk shrinkage may reduce
nerve root compression . Another reason for using medical ozone to treat disk herniation is its analgesic and antiinflammatory effects.
So, its worth trying
Ozone therapy. Good day
