There is central spinal canal behind vertebral bodies containing multiple nerves.
When there any extrinsic pressure on nerves there is pain(called as compressoion).
The Discs are jelly material in pouch between two vertebrae, with age the water content decreases(called as degenerative changes) and
this material comes out of the pouch centrally on left / right side (laterally) put pressure on nerve- causing pain.
