Lumbago
Lumbago Medical HistorySneezing, coughing, and fever were sometimes associated symptoms of this condition. Basically, this diagnosis was made to describe back pain that was associated with a common cold or flu. The discomfort was caused by lower back muscle pain. Modern medicine now realizes that this diagnosis does not describe a back pain condition at all. The name fits a set of symptoms, similar to muscular back pain, that accompanied various other common ailments. If you have the flu now, you might expect to have some minor back pain. Years ago, you might have thought you had back pain combined with a cough and fever...It is all simply a matter of looking at the same sickness in 2 completely different ways. This dorsopathy condition was thought to be closely related to rheumatism. That is another diagnosis that is no longer actively made. Rheumatism described non-specific ailments of the skin, joints, bones, muscles, and organs. Basically, if you were sick often many years ago, odds are that you were considered rheumatic. Modern medicine has come a long way towards diagnosing much more specific problems, diseases, and conditions. Recommendation on LumbagoIf you are a grandpa or grandma, you might very well remember this diagnosis being made quite often. If you think you have this condition still, I would recommend going to a modern doctor to get a thorough check up and accurate diagnosis.If your doctor says that you have lumbago… RUN! Run fast and don’t look back. Odds are, that doctor will want to treat your pain with snake oil and bleed you with leeches…
