@instituteofhumananatomy: Herniated disc. Sciatica. Degenerative changes. Here's what's actually happening. 🦴 Your spinal discs have a gel-like center held in by a tough outer ring. When that ring weakens, the gel pushes out — and if it hits a nerve root, the pain can shoot all the way from your lower back down to your foot. That's sciatica, caused by compression of the largest nerve in the human body. And after 60, over 50% of people are also dealing with degenerative changes on top of that. Part 3 covers what you can do about all of it.
