LBP is in the muscle: LBP starts out as simple in the back, yours has got complicated due to the other complaints. Start self-care with a Wellness Program of Vits, Magnesium supplements, sleep hygiene, exercise, massage, yoga, heat, Epsom tub soaking, stretching and formal PT. move up to  a Chiropractor. Then ask for dry or wet needling which is like acupuncture. Trigger point injections. No epidurals or surgery.

Fibromyalgia?: If MRI if the spine was normal, and chest CT also, then very unlikely to be serious. Fibromyalgia can cause upper back pain and tenderness and testing is normal. Perhaps a referral to rheumatologist would help. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Muscle: Bending the neck stretches the upper back and posterior neck musculature which in your case could be too tight or strained from certain exercises or activities. Perhaps massage therapy would help the problem resolve. If you're doing exercises that are straining these structures, you may have to avoid or modify them.

Question 5

lower back pain when bending neck?

Accepted Answer

Couple of things: Sounds as if either there's traction on the cord  sometimes referred to as a tethered cord...or you may be experiencing a funny thing called Lhermitte's sign though your description's not classic. Have you recently developed SEVERE migraine like headaches by chance with fever? Hopefully not..just a question.  In any event, any of these possibilities deserves a workup by a doctor. Cheers!

Question 6

pain on right back when bending down to the right like when i want  to pick something and back pain when bending my neck backward plus leg pain..

Accepted Answer

Sacroiliitis: Likely inflammation of the sacroiliac joint. This a joint between the sacrum and the ilium. The joints are located bilaterally where the small dimples in the low back are located. Pain in this joint is made worse by rising from a seated position, rolling onto the affected side while in bed, and taking a step up on the affected side. Apply ice at night in addition to anti-inflammatory medications.

Question 7

i've had sharp pain in my back while bending for the past two days. what could cause that? i've had headaches, neck/back pain for the past two years.

Muscle spasm: Most commonly this is a simple muscle spasm that can cause acute pains. If you are prone to other medical issues, fractured bones or even disc herniations may be causing you the problem. Consider seeking medical advice for xrays if the problem persists longer than a week or two.

Structure & function: Headache, mucus in back of throat (?Pnd vs, (ler), fatigue, dizziness, neck/back pain are all non-specific, often due to an identifiable condition or a named disease process. Without knowing what specific condition(s) is(are) causing these symptoms, it would be incorrect to attribute one vague physical sign (ie forward head posture) to a set of vague symptoms.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Specific: The list of causes for back pain is almost endless ... I'm sorry but you'll have to be a bit more specific when resubmitting your question.
