Because the discs in your back aren't supposed to come out. All of your body weight sits on your spine. Your spine sits on the biggest nerve cluster of your entire body. Anything else obvious you need explained?

Yes, I have..its a terrible thing to get, but if releives your pain its worth what you have to endure...besides it only lasts a few seconds....I describe it as, putting a round peg into a square hole..
