3.SEEKING THE CAUSE OF BACK PAIN

There are innumerable causes of back pain. We shall deal with each of them in detail. To begin with, we shall start with the medical causes of this ailment.

1. ARTHRITIS: It refers to the inflammation of joints. Arthritis when related to back pain refers to arthritis in the back. The condition could badly worsen during night time or while walking. It is generally an acute condition characterized by severe pain and discomfort in the lower back. There are various different types of arthritis that form the causes of back pain. Some of them are as follows.

- RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS:This is one form of arthritis whose causes are still unknown. Some reports claim the cause to be a virus while others believe that it might be caused because of some defect in the immune system of the body. Although, the mysterious cause, one thing is for certain that rheumatoid arthritis leads to crippling pain in joints and backs. The pain intensity could be severely crushing and at times be totally unbearable as there are chances that the joints get inflamed, they tend to thicken and in some extreme cases may also be severely damaged. The main problem with rheumatoid arthritis is the fact that the disease tends to appear at intermittent intervals as the pain may entirely vanish in between and just when you let down your guards they might reappear with added severity. Hence, if you have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis before, pay attention to your body’s needs.

- OSTEOARTHRITIS:This is another painful cause that is generally characterized with ageing discomfort. Here the cartilages between the bones get thinner with time and tend to wear out. The body tends to wear out with age and cause severe discomfort in various parts of the body apart from the back which is generally affected the most. This type of arthritis is more common in women as compared to men. It generally starts with wearing out of one joint but if left unattended spreads to a lot of joints in short time. The problem with diagnosing osteoarthritis is the fact that it tends to be associated with old age and can sometime be hard to identify as the symptoms of senescence are very similar.

- FIBROMYALGIA:It is also known as fibromyositis or fibrositis. It is characterized by sharp acute spasm and pain in the back and also in the facial muscles. Irritable bowel movements, sleep disturbances, migraine pain. Cognitive difficulties, numbness in a region are some other symptoms of fibromyalgia. Although, a very painful condition yet the swelling and deforming of joints is generally not observed in patients suffering from fibromyalgia only. In conjunction with other painful arthritic forms, however, the disease may turn out to be lethal.

- ANKYLOSING SPONDILYTIS: It is a form of back pain that usually begins as a mild discomfort in the lower back and abdomen that is experienced on and off. The pain is generally not intense and do not spread to entire parts. However, very soon the disease firms its grip as in a matter of few weeks or months, spondilytis spreads its roots and worsens your lower abdomen and back as the pain can persist day in and day out. The pain sprouts even while sitting and relaxing as it adds to your discomfort almost all the time. It is generally accompanied initially with inflammation of eyes as well. It is one of the leading causes of back pain these days.

Hence, these are some form of arthritis that form a part of one of the major causes of back pain and hence it pays to know more about them as it can then help you stay away from them and prevent a “bad back”.

2. OBESITY: This is another main reason of back pain. The main cause of obesity itself is a bad diet. However, it may be genetic as well. This is a broad topic and hence has been dealt separately later in this book.

3. LUMBAR MUSCLE STRAIN: These refer to straining of muscles under pressure. It generally leads to very acute and sharp pain and may even render you immobile for sometime. However, the good point with muscular strain is the fact that these strained muscles, although very painful, do not last for a long time and generally get cured in a time span of two to four weeks. Although curable, yet the severity of pain when the spasm hits is absolutely unbearable. Muscle strain generally results due to negligence in the daily behavior.

4. SPINAL STENOSIS:Like osteoarthritis, this pain is characterized with old age. Its symptoms are similar to senescence. This condition is mainly caused as the spinal cord tends to become constricted with age. If the spinal cord gets too tight, and there seems to be an absence of the required free space, acute backache is observed. This condition is also very painful, but as mentioned before it generally sets in only after old age.

5. RUPTURED DISC:In the spinal cord, between every two vertebra, there is a soft cushion between them to avoid any friction between the movements of two adjacent spines. The cushion in between facilitates smooth slipping and easing in and out. In a ruptured disc, the cushion loses its elasticity and becomes much vulnerable to injury. The cushion disc on rupturing tends to move outside its designated area and hence the spines tend to crush each other. This condition is extremely painful as the pain shoots from the ruptured disc region and covers the whole of the spine leaving the entire body plagued with intense pain and suffering.

6. IMPROPER SITTIING POSTURE: Getting the right posture is mandatory for a perfect spine. Many people who complain of spinal problems follow a wrong sitting posture. Not just sitting posture, even a wrong sleeping posture can go a long way in the making of a “troubled back”. There are various different sitting postures that one must adhere to ensure that you back rest when you are resting too. If one’s back is given the right amount of rest and care, then one can expect to ward off the acute pain which might otherwise be a part of your daily life.

7. INJURY: This is one cause which is unavoidable and unforeseen. Sometimes, some accidents leave a long term effect on the back; crippling the spinal cord or other problems. The severity of back pain depends on the impact of the accident as it varies with the area most affected with the accident. One way of coping with it is to drive carefully and avoid accidents in first place but even then if it does so happen, getting the right diagnosis and attending to the injured parts is a must. No negligence is permitted at any cost.
