The pinching causes membranes to become inflamed, which eventually causes very severe pain. The main symptoms include severe low back pain that may be accompanied by muscle spasm, pain with walking, concentration of pain to one side, but no radiating pain down buttock and leg. Relief can be felt by bending forward,and exacerbated with bending backward.
