What causes back pain? Three causative factors!

In daily life, we are used to back pain, especially when we wake up. Back pain is likely related to sleeping posture. However, I personally think that symptoms like back pain should also attract our attention. What is the cause of back pain?

Ankylosing spondylitis

This disease refers to inflammation of the spinal joints, which is mainly manifested by back pain, which can radiate to the buttocks. The pain and stiffness are more obvious in the morning. In addition, chest pain and pain in the ankles may occur. Regular exercise can prevent this disease.

Osteoarthritis

It is a degenerative change of articular cartilage and the formation of new bone at the edge of the joint, also known as degenerative arthritis.

Elderly people over 60 years old are prone to this disease. In addition to back pain, they also have pain in the hips, knees, ankles, etc. Finger stiffness occurs at the onset, especially after getting up in the morning, and improves after activity.

Lumbar disc herniation

It is more common in young people aged 20-40, and the main symptom is low back pain. According to relevant experts, the disease usually develops suddenly, but it can also appear gradually, often with obvious external injuries.

The main symptoms are low back pain and lower limb pain caused by one side of the sciatic nerve, especially when coughing, sneezing, and defecation. The pain can be relieved by bed rest.

To prevent this disease, you should be careful when bending over to hold heavy objects. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible after the disease occurs, and rest in bed during the acute stage.
