Back Neck and Spinal Pain

I'm not a medical expert by I have near constant pain in the next and shoulder from foraminal stenosis - i.e. a narrowing of the opening where the nerves come out. I get frequent migraines with an upset stomach that, based on some research, may be related to the foraminal stenosis. Talk to your doctor, have them order an MRI or CT to confirm.

it might not be the alchohol at all you could have a serious kidney problem and should get that checked out soon.......kidneys are a very important organ

Thee are two organs in the left lower back : a kidney is just under the bottom of the ribcage, and the descending colon (and in some people the sigmoid colon) are located in that area... These are really deep internally. If you go just above the kidney, you have the adrenal gland, the spleen, and the splenic flexure of the colon... Hope this helps.

well idnt kno if this is correct but i learnt that these pro blems occur mainly if u hav problem with ur thyroid glands...it may NT b producin thyroxcin so lactic acid may b accumulatin in ur body....

yes

this can be the spinal core injury; deficiency of nutrients such as VitD,Ca, Mg, B6, B12, particularly B12 vagan is prone to deficient in & cause permenent damage/paralyse.

We can code 724.5 for the upper back pain if no specific region like cervical or thoracic is mentioned in evaluation...........

Highly unlikely. If it persists go to the doctor. Both caffeine and carbonation can be GI irritants -- particularly in large quantities. Persons with IBD may experience lower back pain when irritants are introduced.

It is extremely common in pregnancy to have pain in these places. The progesterone relaxes all your ligaments to allow the pelvis to alter shape slightly to allow the baby through. Unfortunately it may relax them a little too much and you may have irritation of the sciatic nerve because your vertebrae are not held in place as strongly as normal. A physical therapist may be able to help by giving you exercises and/or a back support.

It's not spinal stenosis - stenosis does not cause that type of pain, though it can lead to other problems that can cause it. In addition to stenosis, disk problems for over 20 years, 3 major spinal operations, I also have a specific hereditary problem that led to my condition and degeneration. I've been in formal Pain Mgt for over 10 years, requiring the strongest opiates. I have had disk herniations and pain occur and reoccur many times over the years. Certain disks press on certain nerves that can be traced by the pain, determining the origin of the nerve being compressed.

You have 1 or 2 potential problems, depending on how far up the pain is on your back, or if you've had a specific injury recently or you play contact sports.

If the pain is sharp and you can follow it with your finger, what you likely have is a herniated disk at the L3/L4 disk or L4/L5 disk, most likely the L3/L4. The other is there's an offchance you might have more than one.

The best way to determine which disk is by tracing the rout of the nerve pain. If it's down the back of the leg it's in the lower vertebrae, L5-S1. L3 and L4 pain will radiate from the middle of the back, down to the waist, across the hip of one side, across the side of the leg, across the thigh and finally stopping at the inside knee, depending on the severity of the problem.

If the upper pain is in the shoulder area it's likely unrelated. If it's within a foot of the waistline just above the buttocks, offcenter of the spine itself, then it's likely related to the disk causing the leg pain as the pain normally traces the nerve path.

In any event, you need to get to you doctor ASAP, and cease any lifting over a few pounds.

You also need to start reducing the inflammation to get the disk to retract into the membrane. My 2 favorite non prescription meds are Bayer Back and Body Aspirin, and Tylenol Rapid Release geltabs.

Start tracking your pain as well - severity on a 1-10 scale (10 being unbearable), the location (draw a simple body picture and note the location), the time of day it occurs or if it's constant, what you're doing if it gets worse, anything. It will help you later on when you see a doctor.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of arthritis that causes chronic pain in the back.

An ice pack applied soon after any soft tissue injury, like a whiplash injury of the neck after an auto accident , can be very helpful. Using an ice pack after falling down, a sudden impact injury, or muscle overuse can reduce inflammation and pain, as well as speed healing.

An ice pack should be made so that the ice is not in direct contact with the skin; using a thin layer of cloth or even a single sheet of paper towel between the ice and the skin is usually sufficient to prevent freezing of the tissue by overexposing the skin to cold.

Twenty minutes is about the longest that an ice pack should be used on one area before the area is allowed to warm up again; do not leave an ice pack in place too long since injury can occur and after 20 minutes the effectiveness of the cold therapy is reduced greatly. Wait at least 40 minutes before applying the ice pack to the same area for greatest effectiveness.

Yes. Take a pregnancy test

It is very important that you visit a Chiropractor. Most likely your neck and spine are 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. It is like pinching a hose, the water can't come out properly. Your knot could be something more serious. Chiropractors manipulate the spine to correct this and many other problems.

My daughter had something very similar and after spending a lot of money at the chiropractor with little or no improvement, she is now seeing a physical therapist. She is double jointed and the ligaments were not supporting her neck so her neck muscle had to work overtime. She has a huge stress knot in the back of her neck and has been suffering with this for a long time. My suggestion is to see a physical therapist.

no take a pregnancy test. your brain is asleep but your body is still moving like your moving so you will always wake up hungry it's not a sign of pregnancy it's just your body doing what it normally does

It is possible. You will need to take a home pregnancy test as soon as possible to confirm this.

Yes and no.

ANY surgery or minor procedure can be dangerous, and in the beginning, there were malpractice lawsuits filed. Since then, they tried to undo the damages.

Even though it's now a Better Business Bureau Accredited business and have an 85% success rate, there's NO guarantee that it will work.

It may be your appendix it happened to me and that's what happens. See a doctor because your appendix might explode if it is left alone too long. if it isn't then I'm not to sure but consult a doctor. Get well soon!!!!!!!!!!

Back pain my be a sign of early labour but if your abdomen is not going tight I doubt if that is the case. If your abdomen is going hard I suggest you see your maternity carer. At this stage your body is preparing for labour in a few weeks and all your ligaments are relaxing so your pelvis can adjust for delivery of the baby. Unfortunately this also means that your pelvis is not as rigid as when you are not pregnant and I doubt there is a woman in the world who has not had backache while pregnant.

Torment in the hip can come about because of various components. Anomalies the skin, nerves, bones, joints, veins, and delicate tissues of the hip would all be able to bring about ache. At times sicknesses that influence different joints in the form, for example joint pain, might be the explanation for torment in the hip. Trauma, incorporating bone break, is likewise an explanation for hip torment. Torment in the hip range might likewise begin from excruciating contaminations or different states of the skin, for example shingles. Hip torment might likewise happen due to an issue with the back or spine. Medications for hip torment hinge on upon the underlying reason.

If you suffer from lower back pain you can do exercises, but be careful of which ones that you do. According to WebMD, some helpful exercises for lower back pain are : partial crunches, hamstring stretches, wall sits, press-up back extensions, and knee to chest.

yes, surgical clips should be removed. after further scan of area,
