Question 2

i was wondering what are some causes and solutions for back pain? a couple of hours i started to get painful back spasms in my middle back an inch or so left from my spin.  at the time i was justbsitting comfortably, and i had not done anything to hurt it

Accepted Answer

I : I do not know the cause of your back pain. A muscle spasm is caused by an abnormal contraction of the muscle. It can be especially painful if the spasm is near a nerve root (from the spinal cord). The muscle fibers become torn with a spasm and there may be bleeding into the muscle. As you have already figured, certain movements can cause increased pain.  Some things which might put you at risk for developing this type of back pain includes abnormal curvature of your spine, weak stomach muscles, weak muscles in your back or a variety of medical conditions like arthritis, a bulging or ruptured disk, spinal stenosis, previous injuries etc.   If you have a new acute injury, ice can be helpful. If this is a chronic problem â€” consider heat (moist heat in a shower or jacuzzi or a heating pad â€” ensuring that you donâ€™t burn yourself).

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

can back pain cause your breast to hurt?

Accepted Answer

No: Back pain should not cause your breasts to hurt. On the other hand, if you have very large breasts, you may have back pain from that.

Question 5

what could be the cause of low back pain?  hurts sometimes to stand or sit.

Accepted Answer

Back spasms: The most common cause of low back pain in a young person is back strain or spasms. There are a large number of big muscles in the back that can be strained by activities. These respond with spasms that can be extremely painful. The usual treatments include physical therapy, heat, mild massage. If there is radiating pain, (pain that "shoots" into a leg), you may need further work-up by your pcp.

Question 6

if i had back pain caused from my right leg being longer than my left would it hurt on the right side of my back or my left?

Accepted Answer

I' ve seen both: It depends on the ways your body is compensating with the leg length discrepancy along with the strength and flexibility of the muscles involved. I've seen both scenarios (pain in longer or shorter leg). The main thing is to get shoe adjustment if the difference is significant. www.otwithmd.com.

Question 7

why would back pain cause the legs the knees or around the knees to hurt?

Accepted Answer

Back pain: Radiating pain (sciatica) from the nerves coming out of the spine in your back, going down your leg.

Question 8

can lower back pain cause headaches cause i have headaches when my back hurts really badly and thats most of the time daily?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: It would quite unusual for low back pain to cause headaches other than perhaps meds you might be taking for pain could cause headaches.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Muavular spa: If leg symptoms persist and predominate may be disc hwrniation.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

: Please go to the doctor, urgent care or emergency room asap. The doctor will determine the cause &amp; order the appropriate blood tests &amp; x-rays. You can help the doctor by writing down everything you remember doing in the days prior; any trauma, medication, changes in routine. Breathing difficulty can be caused by many things &amp; a physical  medical evaluation is needed. Take care.
