Back Pain Symptoms
Back Pain Symptoms / PainThe actual pain can be sharp or dull. It may be concentrated in a small or specific area, localized to a region of the back or spread throughout a large area. The pain might be just in the back or may radiate into the neck, face, arms, legs or buttocks. The pain might be described using any of the following adjectives:* sharp * burning * stabbing * hot * annoying * incapacitating * agonizing * mild * severe * shooting * penetrating * dull Back Pain Symptoms / TinglingPinched nerves often cause a tingling feeling. This is most common in pinched cervical nerves and sciatica. In the case of a pinched cervical nerve root, the patient will often feel tingling in the arms, wrists or hands. Many patients with sciatica and other lower back pain syndromes experience tingling in the buttocks, legs or feet. This tingling sensation can be mild or severe, but is always disturbing to the patient.Back Pain Symptoms / NumbnessNumbness is a very scary symptom associated with many back pain conditions. The feeling might occur in the actual location of the pain, but more commonly radiates into the arms or legs. Numbness in the hands or feet is common in serious cervical and lumbar conditions and can be a sign of severe nerve involvement.Back Pain Symptoms / WeaknessBack muscle weakness is also a relatively common side effect of some back problems. Weakness can strike the back, arms, legs, hands or entire anatomical regions, depending on the location and severity of the underlying condition. Weakness is another frightening side effect of nerve involvement from any number of back pain syndromes.Symptoms of Back Pain / Common Bond
Why do so many DIFFERENT back pain conditions all have similar symptoms? It is no coincidence. Many physical back pain conditions have specific and individual symptoms that distinguish them. General pain symptoms seem to blend into many different diagnosed problems and make the real cause of the pain difficult to pinpoint. The most logical reason for the similarities of different pain conditions is
MISDIAGNOSIS. One patient might be diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. Another patient is found to have a herniated disc. A third is identified as a victim of osteoarthritis. A fourth patient is diagnosed with facet syndrome. However, they all have nearly IDENTICAL symptoms. This coincidence is explained using the common scapegoat of “some nerve involvement”. It makes little or no sense that so many different diagnoses fit the same clinical profile. It makes no sense that these conditions rarely respond to treatment. It makes no sense that medicine has more treatments now than ever before, yet there is more suffering than ever. It makes no sense that there is a growing epidemic of back pain that is spiraling out of control. It makes NO SENSE, unless… The Reality Symptoms of Back PainThe one true cause of most of these misdiagnosed conditions COULD BE psychological back pain. The process of oxygen deprivation mimics the symptoms of ALL of these commonly diagnosed conditions PERFECTLY. Some doctors feel that up to 95% of ALL back pain is psychological in nature. I agree that the majority seem to have a psychological cause or perpetuating mechanism. I think the percentage might be slightly lower, but still a vast majority.Recommendation for Back Pain SymptomsTry the traditional medical approach. It is still the most reliable place to form a clinical picture of the pain. If that approach does not work, try the alternate approaches. Alternative medicine is mainstream now and many care practitioners have earned the same prestige and reputation as medical doctors. If you still have pain, I can advise you that your symptoms are probably psychosomatic in nature. Maybe you HAD an injury, but it has healed. Unfortunately, nobody told your brain. You might still have the pain and this is where most treatments completely drop the ball…You will be relegated to a frustrating regimen of treatments that might last a lifetime. I think the idea of knowledge therapy to find a TRUE CURE makes a lot more sense. You have nothing to lose and a cure to gain.
