medical causes of back pain?!


Question: Medical causes of back pain?
for the past 2 days i have had a low back pain located just bearly above my butt, i havent had any traumas or lifted anything wrong or even heavy in quite awhile. ive been sleeping normaly in the same bed that ive had for awhile. i have never had a pain like this before. It is hard to change positions while sitting down and laying down, its hard to even bend over slighty. scale of 1-10 it is a constant 2, and when agitated i would give it a 5
My question is that im wondering if there are any medical causes that could cause a pain like this, and if i need to be worried and go to see a doctor. or should it subside. and the pain is quite low on my back. seems like near the tailbone

oh and im only 21

Answers:

I think the medical term of low back pain is LUMBAGO (1*). The layman term caused by sitting too much, and the slang term would be couch potatoes. I personally think that electronic devices such as computer and video games would be the one to blame, for it causes people to sit more, which was the caused for my lower back pain back then. The medical cause can only determined by the Doctor after evaluation. Over the counter pain killer can help REDUCE the symptom and pain beside hot or cold compress can help as well. if pain persist after few days, i would suggest to have it check by your physician. see if the link below can help in anyway.

It does sound like scoliosis. I would try a chiropractor. They are awesome. But do something soon, because if you don't have the scoliosis corrected, it could get worse and you could cause damage to the nerves in your back.

I have scoliosis and see a chiropractor. I love him! It has changed my life.



get a doctor check up, maybe scoliosis



Back pains are caused by pinched muscles. You could have twisted wrong to pinch muscles, rolled over in your sleep wrong to cause them, any number of ways to do that. But the muscles were already tight to cause them to pinch. To get rid of your pains you have to free up the muscles, not the bones as some suggest you do, and here's how to do that:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
