1. Overexertion: Long-term overexertion may lead to excessive metabolism of muscular acidic products, pain, fatigue, and other phenomena. Usually, enhancing rest and paying attention to the combination of work and rest can gradually alleviate these symptoms.

2. Lumbar Disc Herniation: When suffering from lumbar disc herniation, it may cause compression of nerve roots.
