Back Neck and Spinal Pain

Spinal pain and neck pain are commonly experienced. These can be a result of muscle strain or infection, which eventually heal with time. However, prolonged pain may be an indication of a serious health problem.

It is not the implantation that causes these things, just that it occurs just before a period is due when you might have these symptoms anyway.

How is localized pain in the back defined?

During my menstrual cycle I get immense back pain almost to the point of fainting once is this normal and if not what should I do about it?

I get the same thing, especially if I've been sitting for a long time. When I start to move it hurts a lot. I went to a doctor and he told me I had bad posture, which was getting my muscles out of shape and pulling my spine the wrong way. He had me go see a therapist and do a set of excercises called "williams" everyday for two months. I still get back aches, but no where near as hard as before, and not to the point where they interrupt my life.

I was paralyzed due to disc 5 and 6 laying on my spine I now have spots of pain on left side of my back with an achy arm and tingling fingers Can this be more problems with my spine or something else?

Arm pain that radiates to the fingers causing numbness is typical of a cervical disk problem. Any pain in the back is typically felt in the shoulder, though if severe enough it can radiate below the shoulder to the thoracic region. If you're feeling numbness in the fingers, the pain should be down the entire nerve path - you won't likely feel anything in the neck, but you should have shoulder pain which then follows the nerve down across the outer bicep, then down the inside of the arm as viewed with your palm facing up. The fingers affected are usually the ring and pinky fingers first, though it can affect all fingers at the same time.

Keep in mind that the same symptoms can occur just be sleeping with your neck unsupported. As a long term spine patient (see my bio), I've spent a long time laying on my sides (usually my left), since I can't sleep on my back or stomach. Though I've had cervical spine problems before, I know from experience that sleeping without proper support of your neck can irritate the disk and cause similar symptoms. If you're essentially inactive, this is more likely the case, unless your problems are related to previous injury or like me, spinal disease. I've used a Tempurpedic pillow for years for neck support, as I can't sleep otherwise.

What is the solution for a bulging c5 and c6 in the neck and protruding t7 and t8 in the back with pain from your shoulder to finger tips and headaches?

It is very important that you visit a Chiropractor. Most likely spine is out of adjustment, or subluxated. Meaning, they aren't curving the way they should so it pinches a nerve which cuts off the "power supply" to areas of your body. This can cause your headaches. It is like pinching a hose, the water can't come out properly. Chiropractors manipulate the spine to correct this.

Can breathing exercises like taking in deep breaths while raising and lowering arms cause neck pain?

If you have poor spinal alignment during the movements you could have a temporary nerve pinch of the brachial plexus that could cause these pains.

What does vertebral height and aligment are preserved mean?

When vertebral height and alignment are preserved, it means that the vertebrae in the spine are maintaining their normal size and shape, and are in their correct position relative to each other. This is important for proper spinal function and alignment, which helps to support the body's weight and allows for normal movement. Any loss of vertebral height or misalignment can lead to issues such as compression of nerves or spinal instability.

What could cause leg cramps and back pain and neck pain?

leg cramps means low potassium, eating a banana helps that. back pain is usually 90% mental. and neck pain, either you slept the wrong way or have a cold coming on

Is spondylolisthesis of the spine a serious problem?

Yes, spondylolisthesis of the spine is always considered a serious problem. This is true because spondylolisthesis by definition is a problem of instability and misalignment, and as such always has the potential to suddenly worsen.

Spondylolisthesis the forward movement or slippage of one spinal bone (vertebra) in relation to the position of the vertebra that is immediately below it. The forward movement is theoretically possible in any area of the spine, but is more common in cervical spine (neck) and the lower spine (low back). Spondylolisthesis occurs either as a result of weakness of the structure of a spinal bone when a part (pars interarticularis) is not formed correctly, or as a result of violent trauma to the spine that causes fracture of the spinal bone that allows for this abnormal movement.

This abnormal alignment problem can at times be minimal and hard to detect even with careful measurement, and at other times the amount of forward movement can be considerable in which the two vertebrae almost lose contact from each other.

Any degree of forward movement in a case of spondylolisthesis represents instability to the spinal column where it occurs and thus a serious threat to the spinal cord, as well as cause pain and reduced spinal movement.

Pain is the first symptom that alerts to a developing spondylolisthesis, sometimes mild and occasional, or sometimes constant and severe. Even if a spondylolisthesis causes slight pain or even no pain, it should be considered serious because every case of forward slippage of a vertebra has the potential to suddenly become worse as a result of a sudden fall, automobile accident or simply the advancement of the spinal spondylosis (aging of the spine).

What is narrowing of the neural forma mean?

narrowing of the neural forma means, a constricted or narrow opening that nerves pass through.
Depending on the narowed area where the nerves pass through the spinal cord will dictate the parts of body affected by neuroforaminal stenosis.

common symptoms are: Pain,Tingling, Numbness, Weakness.

Why do I have symptoms on the opposite side of my herniated disc at L5-S1?

Do you mean as in your herniation is to the left but you are having pain on the right-hand side? If this is what you mean, it's not uncommon. If the herniation is pulling your spine out of alignment, your left-hand spinal muscles are being contracted but the right-hand muscles are being stretched out. Since the stretch is constant, it's straining those muscles. It could also be a matter of which (if any) nerves the herniation is pinching. It's causing your vertebrae to bulge out to the left but is causing your vertebrae to pinch inward on the right, which could be compressing a nerve.

Ask your doctor if it is safe for you to see a licensed massage therapist. A good therapist can help shorten the overstretched muscles and relax the over-contracted muscles and may be able to alleviate some of the symptoms.

Why would i have sever pain in lower back from bilateral facet osteoarthrtis after an accident from a fall?

From what you have written you actually have two separate problems going on at the same time, making the pain more severe or intense than if you only had one problem at a time.

Bilateral facet osteoarthritis means that you already have common degenerative arthritis going on in your lower back, located in the small facet joints in the back or rear area of the lumbar spine. By itself, lumbar facet osteoarthritis can hurt a lot when just going about your normal daily routines.

But you say you also fell. It would appear that the fall you took aggravated the pre-existing lumbar facet arthritis, making your back pain worse than it already was.

A facet is a type of joint found at the back or rear portion of the spine that gives support and strength to the spinal column while still allowing the spine to move. There are a total of 46 facet joints in the spine, made up of pairs of projections from two adjacent spinal bones that unit them together in a functional unit of strength and movement. These facet joints are all covered and further strengthened by layers of ligaments that reinforce each one.

Your accident did not start the arthritis in the facet joints, but merely aggravated a condition that you have been developing for some time. How do I know this? Because it takes time, usually several years for any type or degree of arthritis to show up in an x-ray or MRI examination.

You been nasheau for the past month and having hard time sleeping you wake up and have back pain and even backpain while you go to bed could you be pregnant?

there is always a possibility of pregnancy in every girl. But that is not a common symptom. I'm pregnant and only wake up to go pee 3 or 4 times a night. Back pain is a symptom but you get tender breasts before that.
