BACK PAIN
It has been estimated that 80% of Americans will fall victim to some sort of lower back pain at some point in their lives. It is the number one reason and cause for missed work days, as well as the second most common reason for a doctor visit. The most common symptoms of lower back pain include:
- Muscle spasms
- Limited range of movement
- Difficulty moving
- Trouble walking or standing straight
- Pain around the rear
- Leg pain down towards the knee
- Soreness
- Sharp shooting pain
- Pain when laying down
- Swelling or redness on the back
If added along with your pain is a fever or loss of bladder or bowel control, you have pain when coughing, or progressive weakness in the legs, this may indicate a more serious condition like a pinched nerve or carpal tunnel.
There are various factors that come into play as causes when talking about lower back pain. Some of the most common factors include myofascial pain, muscle strain, herniated discs, bulging discs, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, obesity, sciatica, and improper posture and sleeping position.
