Back Pain
Back pain can exist in any one region of the back or in multiple areas at the same time. Pain can be localized to one side or can be a band of pain wrapping across the width of the back.
Back ache
can be intense in a small area or experienced in a radiating pattern, coming from a central “hot spot.” The pain pattern might be tied to a certain movement or might be painful all the time. Pain can be a symptom all by itself or might be joined with other sensory sensations. The most common of these additional symptoms are numbness, tingling and weakness. * Neck Pain is the second most common form of pain. * Upper Back Ache is the third most common type of back ache. * Middle Back Ache is not a very common type of pain. * Coccyx Pain is not very common. * Cauda Equina Syndrome is a very serious effect of some lower back injuries. * Combination Pain can affect the back and other areas of the body. * Dorsopathy What type of Pain do you have?* Chronic Pain* Acute Pain * Degenerative Back Conditions * Genetic Back Problems * Congenital Spinal Pain * Disability from Pain in the Back * Back Pain Frustration * Recovery from Pain Varieties of Painful BacksBack ache is as unique as the people who suffer from it. It is rare to see exactly identical expressions of pain, even in a group of patients all diagnosed with the same medical condition. Most pain conditions have a mind and personality all their own. The pain becomes your partner in life. The pain becomes your room mate. I do not know what type of personality you have…but I can GUARANTEE that you and your pain just DO NOT GET ALONG!!!

If you spend the time to really become intimate with your pain, you will discover all of it’s patterns and preferences. * Musculoskeletal Disorders My Pain...My pain was very unpredictable. It started off as a baby pain (so cute) that liked to throw temper tantrums occasionally. (Similar to most babies…) It grew into an angry teen and loved to change and re-invent itself almost weekly. (It watched too much MTV and wanted to fit in with the crowd…Conformist Pain) My pain finally matured into a rage filled monster that loved to be the star of the show…(and my life).Sound familiar?
