There are very few things more debilitating than severe lower back pain.Whether back pain is chronic or temporary,it causes great discomfort regardless of how the person moves. Severe lower back pain is the fifth most common reason for which people visit the doctor.It is estimated that $20 billion a year has been spent as medical expense for back pain.This could double when indirect costs are added.
Only about 10 percent of patients complaining of severe lower back pain have medical causes that requires additional treatment for things such as osteoporosis or disk alignment. The usual prescription of muscle relaxers is typically accompanied by a few days of bed rest and the patient usually returns to full mobility in three to four weeks. For patients still having trouble in moving even after four to six weeks, a return assessment and additional investigation of severe lower back pain may be needed.
Different diseases and conditions are historically associated with the age of the patient. Sometimes the cause of severe lower back pain is obvious, such as spending time with hard physical labor or lifting heavy objects.
For person aged 20 to 40, severe lower back pain may be the result of a muscle strain with the pain aggravated by movement. There may also be localized tenderness associated with the pain and a spasm of the lower back muscles may severely prevent motion of any kind. Typically, bed rest and a limited movement will end the pain.There is always the chance of recurrence if not allowed to heal properly.
A sharp shooting pain in the burning in the lower back radiating into the leg in persons between 30 and 50 may be a sign of acute disk herniation. This may also be accompanied by weakness in the reflex actions. Those aged 50 and over may suffer from osteoarthritis, causing severe lower back pain radiating into one or both legs. Pain usually increases when walking and is less evident when seated.
Infections in the spine or in the nerve sac located at the base of the spine may also be responsible for severe lower back pain, and a visit to the doctor will be necessary to get to the underlying cause of the problem.
