I wake up with pain on both sides of my waist every morning

Under normal circumstances, people's waist does not hurt, but if you overuse your waist or maintain the same posture for a long time, it is easy to have various waist problems. For example, many people will find that they have waist pain on both sides after getting up in the morning. In addition to excessive use of the waist, common causes of this symptom include sitting posture problems, lumbar spine disease, hydronephrosis and urinary tract infection.

1. Long-term standing work leads to lumbar muscle strain

If your job requires long-term standing, such as sales, barbering, teaching, waiting, etc., long-term and continuous standing will weaken the stretching ability of our lumbar tendons and ligaments, leading to excessive accumulation of local lactic acid. The normal metabolism of the lumbar muscles will be inhibited, which will cause low back pain. In addition, if you often carry heavy objects, like a porter, the burden on your waist is very heavy. If this continues for a long time, it is easy to develop scoliosis and low back pain caused by lumbar muscle strain.

2. Sitting posture problem

In contrast to people who work standing for a long time, some people sit for a long time at work. Sitting is more comfortable than standing, but if you do not pay attention to your sitting posture, you are likely to have back pain. The ancients paid attention to the correct sitting posture and standing posture, but people sit in different postures. Many people bend over or lean on a chair. If you sit in these wrong postures for a long time, you will naturally suffer from back pain. If you want to relieve the back pain of people who sit for a long time, you must first learn the correct sitting posture.

3. Lumbar spine disease

Lumbar spine disease can also cause low back pain. As age increases, the symptoms of lumbar nerve compression will increase. Pseudospondylolisthesis caused by degenerative diseases is a common disease, which can easily cause lumbar spinal stenosis, compress the spinal cord and nerve roots, lead to low back pain and radiating pain in the lower limbs, and is often caused by vertebral collapse fractures due to osteoporosis. Osteophyte formation in the elderly can cause spinal stiffness and persistent low back pain.

4. Hydronephrosis

Hydronephrosis is a pathological change in the kidneys caused by ureteral obstruction due to ureteral stones, tumors, congenital diseases and other reasons, which prevents urine from being discharged into the bladder smoothly. The main symptoms of hydronephrosis are soreness and swelling on one side of the waist.

5. Urinary system

Many patients with pyelonephritis also experience symptoms of low back pain, but this type of low back pain is mainly bloating. In addition, urinary system stones and tuberculosis can also cause low back pain, but its characteristics are hematuria accompanied by renal colic, or symptoms such as interrupted urination, difficulty urinating, hematuria, and low back pain. Pyelonephritis is characterized by hematuria accompanied by dysuria, hematuria, frequent urination, back pain, and fever.
