About

A pain that extends along the back or a pain increases when you cough can be the sign of a herniated disc. If you begin to have problems controlling your bowels or bladder, it may be a good idea to contact a physician to help find the proper pain treatment before the condition worsens. Back pain can vary from just a nuisance during your daily activities to being a life threatening issue. It is best to avoid doing too much physical activities that put stress on the spine.

The spine is a complex network of joints, tendons, muscles, ligaments and nerves, all of which may produce pain if damaged. Nerves from the spine that extend downwards to the legs and arms can make pain radiate to the extremities. Back pain is one of humanity’s most frequent complaints. Symptoms of back pain can include: Constant and continuous aching or stiffness anywhere along your spine or sharp pain in the lower back, neck, or upper back, especially when doing physical activities that put strain on the back. A pain that extends from the lower back to the buttock, and the inability to stand straight without having to endure sharp, jabbing pains along the spain. Pain in the upper back may also be a sign of cardiac arrest or other fatal conditions.

Neck pain is a sharp stabbing feeling from the bottom of your head to the top of your shoulders. The pain may spread to your upper back and/or arms, hindering movement around your head and neck. But what causes it? Most neck pain is caused by activities that strain the neck. Hanging clothes, slouching, or sleeping with your neck twisted are some things that can cause neck pain. These may cause swelling of joints in the neck, muscle spasm, or just a constant strain in the neck area.
