Without wasting of time am heading straight to the point. Today if there's anything that disturb individual health more believe me is back pain. Indeed Suffice to say at this stage that most back pain, probably including yours, is due to repetitive microtrauma. This broad band of spinal problems covers all those pesky conditions that won’t fit neatly into one of the previous categories. They range from common conditions such as an achey ‘flu to the downright serious, such as spinal cancer. Luckily most of the nasty conditions are rare. I’ve listed some other causes of back pain here, not to alarm you, but so that you are aware that they exist:
+ Viral conditions, such as the flu, Ross River Fever, etc.
+ Shingles
+ Kidney problems
+ Inflammatory conditions, such as Ankylosing Spondylitis
+ Stomach ulcers
+ Tuberculosis
+ Meningitis
+ Infected bones
+ Lung problems
+ Gall bladder problems
+ An aortic aneurism (a weakened blood vessel in your tummy).
How do you know if you have one of these conditions? Sometimes you don’t. But there are usually warning signs that may suggest that your problem is serious. Spinal health practitioners call these signs ‘red flags’. Please read the following list carefully. If you have any of these warning signs then don’t be brave or overly fearful: simply make an appointment with your doctor.
