Question 1

have disc issues in back. pain is intermittent. why? shouldn't the pain be continuous?

Accepted Answer

Disc issues: Just because you have disc issues does not mean that you have to have symptoms. If you do have symptoms they can be continuous, intermittent or rare.

Question 2

constant lower left back pain to where i can't bend down, get up from laying down, or sit comfortably.  what is it?

Accepted Answer

Most commonly: What you are describing is a lumbar paraspinal or iliopsoas strain or spasm at your age. However, there are many other things that can cause this that should be checked by a physician, including but not limited to si joint pain, facet pain, and even discogenic pain that has not infringed on a nerve root yet.  If it is a paraspinal spasm, then it should continuously get better each day, keep walking.

Question 3

what is going on? i'm having upper right sided back pain on exhale except in some positions. i wasn't like this 10 minutes ago.

Accepted Answer

Back Pain: Pain on breathing can be a sign of pleural pain, which could accompany a cold. If a very sharp pain, you could have ruptured a small air sac. But don't worry, these usually heal spontaneously. If your breathing gets harder and/ or you develop a fever, call your doctor immediately; otherwise, the pain should subside on its own.

Question 4

im having serouis back pain, and it happens randonly..very sharpppp pain like i have to stop and can't move, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Sharp back pain: There could be a multitude of reasons you are experiencing sharp, random back pain. The most common reason is a simple strain or sprain of your muscles/tendons/ligaments. However, the pain could potentially be coming from the spine itself including pain from your discs, facet joints, and/or vertebra. The good news is that the vast majority of back pain is usually benign and self-limiting.

Question 5

what to do if i have back pain associated with it and so pain + intraosseus hemengioma. isn't that something caused for concern?

Accepted Answer

Interesting Question: Intraosseous Hemangioma are found many times in the spine.  The likelihood they are causing pain is very unlikely however there are some documented cases of this in both Europe and USA.  Usually these are treated with vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty where bone cement is added to the bone.  This is quite extreme and many times insurance does not cover this treatment if its not cancer related.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation : Back pain could be multifactorial in origin , most of the imo benign in nature . An evaluation by physician is recommended i make a plan of treatment.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Back pain review: Back pain can be very annoying because it limits the daily activities. it might be due to trauma, spine degeneration, disc prolapse, muscle spasm or autoimmune disease. you should consult your physician and he/she will run diagnostic test to specify the reason of your pain and start the appropriate management

Question 8

can you give me advice! severe back pain, can't find relief.?

Accepted Answer

Spine Pain Options: This chronic pain in the distribution as you suggested is the result of an irritated nerve or facet joints or other injury typically in the lumbar spine (low back) which are caused by herniated disks, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease,  etc requiring further evaluation by a spine specialist and may be candidate for facet injections/radiofrequency ablation and epidural steroid injection.

Question 9

what do i do about severe back pain can't get help or diagnosis. please help!?

Accepted Answer

Numerous: There are numerous reasons for back pain, discs, degenerative changes of the spine, etc.  People take for granted just how many muscles, ligaments and structures can 'go wrong'.  I'd start with an MRI of the back.

Question 10

what can i take for sever back pain. it is so bad that i can't get off of the couch/ my bed?

Accepted Answer

Heat/motrin: If it is so severe you can't get up you probably need to see a doctor. The best things you can do at home are to use heat on your back and alternate 400mg motrin with 1000mg tylenol (acetaminophen) every 4 hours. Do not take the tylenol (acetaminophen) more than 3 times per day. Do not take tylenol (acetaminophen) if you have liver problems. Do not take motrin if you have kidney problems. See doctor if you need more pain relief.
