"Because discitis is typically caused by infections that first developed elsewhere in the body, people with certain medical conditions are at higher risk for developing discitis. These conditions include diabetes, AIDS, cancer, and chronic kidney disease.
What are the symptoms of discitis?
Severe back pain that begins gradually is the hallmark symptom of discitis. The pain is typically localized to the region where the infected disc is—so the pain won’t typically radiate down the neck or down the leg like some types of back pain conditions."
