Back pain is a common phenomenon, which is experienced by most of us at some point in our lives. An unhealthy lifestyle, which includes lack of proper exercise, long hours of traveling, and improper sitting posture, or bending awkwardly are not surprisingly some reasons for back pain and something that most of us can easily relate to. This pain is experienced by every individual at some point in their life, and it has no recognized cause. This type of pain can cause great discomfort for a period of time due to stress on the bones or strained muscles, and can go away after a certain period.
 

Lifting heavy weights or bending awkwardly may be the reasons for strained muscles. Some symptoms of back pain that is non-specific are that it will subside after one week and that it will not radiate to any other part of the body. The pain will not be constant and no numbness or lack of sensation indicating nervous disorders will be felt, indicating that it is a non specific back pain. This article looks at this condition in more detail.

Non Specific Back Pain

About 19 in 20 cases of acute (sudden onset) low back pain are classed as non-specific.

1. Almost everyone experiences this kind of back pain in their lives. The severity varies from person to person, but you cannot find an individual who has never experienced sudden and unexplained back pain.

 

2. The most typical thing about this kind of back pain is that it has no recognised cause. You will wake up with a sore back one day, it will trouble you for a week or so and then disappear in an unexplained way just the way it appeared.

 

3. The cause of sudden back pain is usually something very simple like a strained muscle or a stress in your bones. It is very common to get a catch in your back while lifting a heavy weight or bending awkwardly.

 

4. The biggest problem with non-specific back pain is that almost everybody seems to have it these days. Our unhealthy lifestyle is one of the main causes of such unexplained back pain. Most often, this kind of lower back pain is caused due to lifestyle problems such as lack of exercise, long hours of traveling in the traffic and improper sitting and sleeping postures.

 

Symptoms Of Non-Specific Back Pain:

 

1. The pain will never last for more than a week or so. If it does, then it is not non-specific back pain. It has a definite cause and you must see a doctor to diagnose it.

 

2. The pain never travels to your chest or down to your thighs. Back pain that travels elsewhere to your body can be dangerous. It could be a sign of an impending heart attack!

 

3. The pain will not be constant. If you rest your back by lying down continuously for few days whenever your back pains or apply a pain reliever, then the pain should disappear for the time being. Chronic back pain always has a very specific cause.

 

4. Numbness or lack of sensation indicates nerve disorders. This symptom will rule out the possibility of no specific back pain. You need to investigate this in the lines of a spinal cord disorder.

 

Almost all adults suffer from non-specific back pain. So, learn to identify this problem before it becomes an epidemic.
