Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve happens when surrounding tissues, muscles, or bones place too much tension on a specific nerve. This would disrupt proper functions and lead to discomfort or shooting pain in different parts, including hip, spine, and back. In many cases, old scar tissues from previous injuries would also trigger this condition. Some other causes include obesity, traumas, repetitive movements, stress, and arthritis. The pain tends to last a few days or weeks before disappearing with proper treatment. However, permanent damages would occur if there is constant pressure. Resting is the simplest yet most effective option to relieve the pain caused by a pinched nerve. [4]
