What are the signs of back pain

The back is a part of the body that people don't often pay attention to because the human eye cannot directly observe its own back. However, if there are some abnormal conditions in the back, people need to pay special attention. The most common condition of the back is that people often feel some soreness in their back. If a person often experiences back pain, what disease might it be a sign of?

1. Overwork

Modern people are under too much pressure in work and life. Overtime is a very normal thing for office workers, especially those who face the computer all day. It is easy to cause back pain due to overwork.

2. Wrong sitting posture

Low back pain is caused by muscle contracture, trauma or spinal deformity. Incorrect posture causes premature and irreversible degeneration of the spinal bones and joints, resulting in uneven muscle tension and ligament overload, which in turn leads to strain of the low back muscles and becomes the main cause of low back pain.

3. Prismatic myositis

The pain inside the right shoulder blade in the back is mostly caused by prismatic myositis, and the pain occurs due to adhesions between muscle tissues.

4. Reflex pain caused by organs, etc.

It may be reflex pain due to internal organs, such as appendicitis, which sometimes causes pain in the stomach and back reflex areas.

5. Ankylosing spondylitis

This disease is a type of rheumatic disease. Its cause is still unclear. It is a chronic disease with the spine as the main lesion, involving the sacroiliac joints, causing spinal stiffness and fibrosis, and causing varying degrees of eye, lung, muscle, and bone lesions. It is an autoimmune disease.

6. Lumbar disc herniation

The most common symptom of patients with this disease is pain, which can manifest as low back pain or sciatica. Typical sciatica is characterized by radiating pain from the buttocks, back of the thigh, outer side of the calf to the heel or dorsum of the foot.

7. Tumors

In particular, when lung cancer or breast cancer metastasizes to the bones or causes radiating pain, it will cause back pain. Many lung cancers are discovered because of back pain. Therefore, in this case, we are reminded that once we have any discomfort symptoms, we must seek diagnosis in time to ensure early detection and early treatment.
