Accepted Answer

: One needs a more recent evaluation of the back pain including new imaging studies. There may also be a need for Physical Therapy, Graded Exercises and Programmed Swimming. A visit with the PCP for coordination of care is where to start as one needs Encouragement.

Question 2

ive had a higher level of lower back pain for a few days with it feeling like it needed to click. well it did indeed just click (base of spine area) and immediately afterwards i was overcome with nausea and threw up x3. can this be related?

: Lower spine 'click' should not be related to nausea and vomiting unless it caused intense pain. hope you are well now.

Question 3

i have right side lower back pain which does not stop. i had an mri and the result was mild ligamentum hypertrophy throughout. my chiro says the problem is the lumbar ilio ligament and neural base of spine. i am a runner and treatment is not helping?

Accepted Answer

Back pain: Please continue to see your doctors but add a mind-body treatment into the mix.  Search John Sarno, MD on the web to learn ways to use your psyche to help.  It's not "all in your mind" but pain runs through the brain.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

do spine extension problems cause back pain?

Accepted Answer

See below: Not sure i understand this question some people have more back pain when they bend forward, this is usually seen in people with disc problems. Other people have more pain when they bend backward which suggests problems with the back joints (facet joints) or can be a sign of spinal stenosis which is a condition that typically occurs in older adults.

Question 5

how can  sitting cause back pain in the spine?

Accepted Answer

Positional load: Sitting places 4 times body weight load across your lower back while being in a car causes an additional vibrational stress  (cars & human spines vibrate at the same harmonic frequency about 5 hertz).  Prolonged positioning also adds increased load.  Getting up periodically if it can be done can help as can a small lumbar roll support.  Also seat adjustments can help such as a high back & armrests.

Question 6

i have back pain feels like a rope down my spine. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

See below: It depends on the cause.  Symptoms like these can only be adequately diagnosed through a thorough evaluation by your doctor.

Question 7

what to do if i'm feeling like my spine hurt when i lean down any exercises that remove this back pain ?

Accepted Answer

Core Exercises: Typically core strengthening exercises are the best to help relieve pressure and forces in the spine.  I would try and google some or look them up on youtube to see descriptions.  If you can do them yourself, wonderful otherwise ask your doctor to get a referral to a good physical therapist for further assistance.  If still hurting after that i would see a pain/spine specialist for full evaluation

Question 8

back pain always and spine pain?

Accepted Answer

Have you been: Evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon?  That may be a good place to start (especially if a specialist has ruled out renal cysts as being a causative factor).  Depending on the cause of the pain, if musculoskeletal than acupuncture, specific stretching, heat ; proper ergonomics may be beneficial. Take care.

Question 9

are?there any injections ?that can cure back pain caused by spine curvature?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no one miracle shot that will cure back pain from abnormal curvature of the spine. However, early detection and treatment can minimize or at the very least decrease the effects of curvature on back pain.

Question 10

what to do if i have bad back pain and feel like i need to straighten my spine?

Accepted Answer

Core Exercises: Typically core strengthening exercises are the best to help relieve pressure and forces in the spine.  I would try and google some or look them up on youtube to see descriptions.  If you can do them yourself, wonderful otherwise ask your doctor to get a referral to a good physical therapist for further assistance.
