Back Neck and Spinal Pain

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...!!

Hello,

I am five weeks pregnant as well, and have lower abdominal cramps and lower back pains as well, I called three different nurses and they all said it's very normal, and unless you're doubled over or bleeding not to worry, it's just the increase of blood flow to the uterus and the stretching of your muscles to make room for the baby. So, I'm still scared to death, but I've looked it up and it seems lots of women experience these.

I am not a doctor however pain in your lower back while pregnant can mean many things from labor, false labor, the baby pushing on a nerve, etc the best thing to do is see you doctor and if things get worse before you can get to you doctor go to the emergency room

sit up straight and click your neck for relief

I am taking Amoxicillin for a tooth abcess. I have starting to get lower back pain too.

Vaginal pain is usually a sign of a UTI or yeast infection or even a cyst. But it is possible it could be a sign of pregnancy but Im unsure about this one.

These 2 symptoms can be caused by many different things. Some of these things include anal fissure, hemorrhoids, medication reaction, high blood pressure, stroke, and a heart rhythm disorder.

One treatment for a disc bulge in L4 and L5 would be steroid injections by your physician. If the bulge is not extreme, the recommendation may be simply rest and anti-inflammatory medications.

There are many, Soma, Flexeril, Zanaflex (this is really strong and used in Multiple Sclerosis), Baclofen-most popular for back pain and skelaxin. These are ones that I have been on personally because I have had several back surgeries due to an accident which slipped a disc, caused paralysis and ended up in a wheel chair.

Hope this helps. Above all CALL YOUR DOCTOR, DO NOT MIX WITH ALCOHOL- YOU WILL STOP BREATHING!!!!

If you get pain and a crunching sound in the middle off your back and neck, your spine may be out of alignment. You may also have a problem with the vertebrae themselves. It's best to consult a physician or a chiropractor.

Ibuprofen is a pain killer and co-amoxiclav is an antibiotic. They should not interfere or interact with each other, but it is always a good practice to consult your health care provider before mixing any medications.

If the pain is sharp, and traces down the left side of the spine to the lower back, across the waist and hip, across the top of the thigh and down the inner knee, the problem is the L3/L4 disk pressing on the spinal nerve at that point. It typically sharp at the mid and lower back, and burning as it travels further, though it will occasionally be sharp all the time too.

You can literally trace the nerve pathway with your finger by following the pain if it's bad enough.

I have this pain at the moment, I had it several years ago and it lasted for months I had a gluten intollerance test and it told me that I was intollerant to gluten, I cut out gliuten and within 2 wekd it had gone, its now come back although I dont eat anything with gluten in it. I cannot understand why the pain goes into my left lower back and left leg...anyone else get this ?
