I had lower back pain on the left side. The MRI report mentioned sacralization of the L5 as the cause. Also, the doctor told me that development of a transition vertebrae between L5 and sacrum is the cause. Would anybody please throw light on how sacralization causes the pain; I mean the mechanism of the pain. I tried understanding through many websites but couldn't get it cleared. Thanks.
