Common Causes of Back Pain
- Bulging or ruptured disks: Disks act as cushions between the bones in the spine. The soft material inside a disk can bulge or rupture and press on a nerve.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis can affect the lower back. In some cases, arthritis in the spine can lead to a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, a condition called spinal stenosis.
- Osteoporosis: The spine’s vertebrae can develop painful breaks if the bones become porous and brittle.
- Ankylosing spondylitis: This inflammatory disease can cause some of the bones in the spine to fuse, making the spine less flexible.
Muscle or Ligament Strain
A muscle strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon that connects muscles to bones. It can occur due to repeated heavy lifting or sudden awkward movements. Symptoms of a muscle strain include pain or tenderness, redness or bruising, limited motion, muscle spasms, swelling, and muscle weakness. Initial treatment includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Mild strains can be successfully treated at home, while severe strains sometimes require surgical repair. Regular stretching and strengthening exercises for your sport, fitness, or work activity, as part of an overall physical conditioning program, can help to minimize your risk of muscle strains.
Regular stretching and strengthening exercises for your sport, fitness or work activity, as part of an overall physical conditioning program, can help to minimize your risk of muscle strains. Try to be in shape to play your sport; don’t play your sport to get in shape. If you have a physically demanding occupation, regular conditioning can help prevent injuries.
Wallets are a Common Cause of Sciatic Back Pain
commonplace that it has earned the nickname, “wallet neuritis,” describing the “inflammatory response that happens to the sciatic nerve due to sustained compression”. Even the thinnest wallet and lightest of shoulder bags can create these symptoms. Wallet neuritis is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed by a wallet in the back pocket of pants. The pressure on the gluteal muscles and nerves can cause pain and numbness in the lower back and lower limbs. It is also known as fat wallet syndrome, but make no mistake about it, any thickness of a wallet can cause severe back issues.
