A simple punch can collapse the wind pipe and strangle a person.

I'm not really sure how that would do much good, since rubbing alcohol would really only cool the skin and back pains are typically muscular or spinal in nature. You might be better off with heat and massage.

Most people think of ladies´shoes when they think "high heels", but the truth is that these shoes are worn by men and women alike. We are all familiar with what women's high heel shoes look like, but men's boots and shoes with Cuban heels and supports have exactly the same effect.

The "Cure for Lower Back Pain" ultimately starts with what is causing your back pain. Here are the most common causes and cures of lower back pain: Subluxation or spinal misalignment: This is the primary condition treated by chiropractors. Spinal bones become stuck causing pain. Doctors of chiropractic move the stuck bones with "adjustments" by hand or hand-held devices. Increased water intake can also help with back pain. Back strain: Over exertion from sports, work and postural stress can cause the muscles of the back to become strained. The result is spasm, pain and stiffness. Treatments that provide relief of spasm, increased mobility and promote strengthening of the muscles after the pain has subsided are: Chiropractic care with physiotherapy modalities, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture. These providers may also recommend specialized exercises like Pilates, Yoga, Tai Chi, etc. Increased water intake can also help with back pain. Degenerative disc disease/arthritis: Long standing stresses on the spine may cause the joints and discs to deteriorate resulting in pain. Common cures are: Chiropractic care with physiotherapy modalities, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture with exercises such as Pilates, Yoga, Tai Chi, etc. Nutritional cures include: Glucoasamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Vit. C, Omega-3 fatty acids, and others. Increased water intake can also help with back pain. Home applications of hot showers and stretching in the morning can relieve AM stiffness and pain. Anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Naproxsodium (Aleve) can be helpful, but can have side-effects if used too often. Herniated or bulging disc: The discs between the spinal bones may protrude and irritate the spinal nerves due to injury or long-standing physical stress resulting in pain that radiates from the back to the lower extremities. Most common cures: Chiropractic adjustments for disc bulges, Physical therapy rehabilitation for disc bulges, DRX9000 or other non-surgical spinal decompression fro bulges and herniation, Minimally invasive disc surgery for bulges and herniations, traditional surgery for herniations.

Yes, it can be. As the body prepares for the rapid expansion to come, it starts to cramp. Usually it's only around the uterus, but it can spread to other ares including the abdominal, back, and legs.

Cervical spondylosis is one of the most common degenerative disc conditions. When multilevel neural foraminal narrowing is most prominent via MRI, this shows where a nerve root is potentially being impinged.

Since you don't mention pain shooting [radiating] anywhere else, there are three possibilities... a) muscle pain, b) ligament strain pain, or c) kidney pain. I guess gunshot wound would be rather obvious, eh?!

Painful periods in women is recognized as dysmenorrhea or more normally known as menstrual cramps, and can put in plain words in simple as menstruation with irregular pain, dull that happen in the pelvic area or lower stomach. Many women of childbearing age suffer from this type of troubles connected to pain and pain may begin before or throughout menstruation periods in women.

If you haven't been working, lifting items, exercising, were bed-ridden for medical reasons or as a personal decision, or have stretched recently; You probably just pulled a muscle. We cannot say for sure, due to a lack of information, but if the problem persists please see your doctor. Your doctor can suggest exercises, give a prescription for pain medicine, or even take x-rays to check the pained area.

It can be many things...if it is in the morning, I would suggest testing your bed. Try sleeping in another bed for two nights and see if the stiffness continues. If not, you'll know it is your mattress. Buy a new one, and ask the salesperson what mattress is good for sore backs. It can be a certain muscle you've strained. If the irritaion persists, make an appointment with your doctor. They can check and see what's going on below the surface. Meanwhile, be gentle with it. Don't bend and lift too much, and be careful when working out, or doing outdoor activities. Purchase a few heating pads for your back such as IcyHOt patches.

You need to go to your doctor. Blocked cardiac arteries can cause this as well as pain being referred to these areas from other organs such as your gall bladder. Any time you are experiencing upper back pain in combination with abnormal feelings in the chest, you consult a doctor immediately.

yes the thoracic vertebrate move at limited distance .

Probably not pregnant. Pregnancy rarely happens after tubal. You might have a couple of different ailments that happened to come up at the same time. Your symptoms most likely aren't from being pregnant. You might have a bladder or urinary infection. That can cause frequent urination, cramps & lower back pain. These aren't symptoms of pregnancy. Missed period could be early menopause. Sore nipples are just something that happens once in a while.

The muscle that cause pain in your neck is the sternocleidomastoid

I found sitting in the correct posture when at work or when driving can help alleviate back pain. Your body really wants to be in the correct balanced position so when it is out of balance you get pain.

could be from bowels and or uterus..you could possibly have IBS-constipation-uterine polyps-uterine fibroids-endometriosis-pregnancy etc there is so much involved in all this i would just need some more information from you..like are you bleeding? are your bowel movements normal do you have any swelling that you can feel or see? etc

The most common causes are related to third molars (wisdom teeth) which may be erupting, causing trauma to the gingiva (soft tissue), or developing, but impacted, putting pressure on the bone or other teeth. If one is impacted, but exposed to the mouth, infection of the surrounding gingiva (pericoronitis) is common, and can become a very serious problem. Caries (decay) or periodontitis (gum disease) commonly cause pain around the other molars (back teeth). There are numerous less common causes: cysts, tumors, soft tissue or bone diseases, etc. See your dentist.

For serious chronic back pain, a Tummy Tuck won't help anything but the mindset of the patient, and the HMO getting the money for it. For minor back pain, it can be of some help though. However, I've never considered it a viable fix for any back pain, nor do most doctors.

Back pain is lessened if the patient's abdominal area is stronger, and this is one effect of the operation. However, having been a long term chronic back pain sufferer for many, many years, if there is structural or real tissue / nerve damage involved, then a Tummy Tuck is just a band aid - it doesn't solve the problem, and for any back or neck pain, getting at the root cause of the pain is the only real path to any relief. Also, if the procedure isn't done correctly, the patient could wind up with other problems besides the back pain the surgery was intendedto help with in the first place.

Surgery should not be taken lightly - I was shocked to learn during my 3rd major spinal operation that my first 2 spinals had been done improperly, resulting in the cause of most of my pain for over 10 years now (see my Bio page if you're curious). The problem had previously never been detected, and my pain cause had been mis-diagnosed for years. Having experienced virtually every back therapy and procedure available, I am often asked what I think about surgical intervention of any kind. My answer is always this: Only submit to surgery when there's absolutely, positively, NO OTHER OPTION LEFT. In every case, I had absolutely no choice left but to take the surgical option. When faced with a wheelchair or walking, or partial paralysis, the choice is a no-brainer, for most anyway.

Also, you may be subject to things you'd not considered either. Though my second operation went apparently well, an hour after surgery a nurse failed to properly account for how much morphine was in my system. Her error nearly cost me my life - had my family not been with me and seen that I had stopped breathing due to a massive dose of morphine (well above even my tolerance level, which is extreme) I would not now be around to tell you to avoid surgery whenever possible.

It refers to undesirable changes in the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs in your spine. When their quality and alignment deteriorates, your spine's stability and flexibility decrease. These can be caused by injury and aging and can be faster or slower to show up depending on level of physical activity, genetics, nutrition, etc. Usually they are associated with disc compression which may lead to pinching of nerves in your spine.

Since you've described it as "next to" the spine, I'll presume you mean "off to one side"... Most likely: Sebaceous cyst fatty tumor [benign] If it's up by the hair-line and half-way between the ear & the spine, and is very painful and causes headaces: could be Occipital neuroma If it isn't growing and has been there a long time, I'd put my money on the Sebaceous cyst. If it IS growing, you ought to get it checked...!!
