Stabbing Back Pain

Many patients describe a condition of recurrent stabbing back pain as their main torturous symptom. Stabbing refers to deep localized pain similar to the perception of a stab wound from a bladed weapon. This type of pain is very frightening for a patient, since it is often severe and feels like it is deep inside the back. Patients often relate deep pain to a spinal cause, rather than a muscular source, and are understandably alarmed at the perception of sharp structural pain.

Causes of Sharp Back Pain

The perception of stabbing pain can come from a variety of possible physical conditions:

* Herniated Discs

* Spinal Arthritis

* Pinched Nerves

Any of these common sources of acute back pain can cause sudden attacks of pain in the spine. There is also the possibility of less serious muscular back pain causing this stabbing pain, especially if the affected muscle is deep in the dorsal anatomy. Piriformis syndrome and sacroiliac joint dysfunction can sometimes create stabbing pain in the lower lumbar area of affected patients. There is always the possibility that stabbing pain is also the direct result of psychological back pain, most often using oxygen deprivation as the actual causative process.

Warning for Stabbing Back Pain

Deep pain in the torso can be a symptom of a serious health problem. Make sure to get a complete check up for all chronic severe stabbing pains, to eliminate the possibility of a potentially life threatening condition, such as a blood clot, cancer, heart attack or stroke. Neurological pain is sometimes experienced in a different anatomical region than where the causative condition actually exists. This can make an accurate diagnosis remarkably difficult to achieve. Make sure to provide your doctor with all the symptoms you are experiencing in order to assist them in making a correct diagnosis of the problem.

Recommendation on Stabbing Back Pain

Deep pain can be a traumatizing experience. During my 18 years suffering from mostly lower back pain, I experienced many bouts of stabbing pain in my lumbar and sacral spinal regions. This pain was so severe that it caused recurrent back spasms and really made me fearful for my future. I never would have guessed that such severe pain could possibly be the result of ischemia, but in my case, that was the exact cause of all my symptoms. Thankfully, I discovered a cure and can now enjoy my life without the constant burden of stabbing pain.
