Back Neck and Spinal Pain

These could either be early signs of labour, or they could simply be signs of a condition called braxton hicks, or false labour. Make an appointment with your ob for asap, and if the pain gets worse, your dilation increases or your water breaks, head for the hospital- you're going to be a mommy! Congrats on the baby!

yes. you can get body aches all over from the flu

any number of things could cause this, from pregnancy to food poisoning, if it continues for more than 24 hours i would say go to the doctors to get checked out.

My ex husband has spinal stenosis,he has been having very bad headaches for approx 15 months,stiff neck,his doctor said it could be through this complaint,but get it checked out to make sure,but it probably is this causeing your headaches.

Back pain is proably not a heart attack.

Symptoms of a heart attack are chest pain usually radiating to the neck or left shoulder, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, palpitatins, sweating and anxiety.

Well I have the same symptoms as you do, without the backpain. I took a pregnancy test 4 days ago and it was negative....I so puzzled!

constipation

Lower back pain can be caused by a number of issues such as a bulging or herniated disc, spinal stenosis or a pulled muscle among other things. Visit your doctor.

Severe bilateral foraminal narrowing is a condition in the spine. It is very serious, affects both side of the body stemming from the intervertebral foramina, and it makes those nerve passages smaller.

well, i just got out of the hospital for a severe kidney infection... and no, you really shouldn't drink alcahol while haveing a kidney infection, ive done lots of research cause i was freaked when i found out how bad mine was. the alcahol can cause the infection to worsen, they tell you to drink cranberry juice because it does not alow to baciria to stick to the walls of the kidney, alcahol will do the oposite, so stay clear of the drink till your all healed up is my advice:)

Dizzy because the baby is sucking up a lot of the blood supply that used to carry oxygen to your brain; stomach pain because the baby is shoving your organs out of the way and stretching out all the muscles and ligaments that used to hold you together, and your back because now you are essentially carrying around a small bowling ball 24 hours a day, which if you think about it would be a little rough on the old back. Isn't pregnancy grand?

The standard procedure for lumbar epidurals is 3 injections over a 3 week period. However, if the patient hasn't shown any improvement or relief after the second week, surgical options are considered. As long as the patient is improving, a doctor can make the decision to push the option a bit further.

If your doctor is proceeding with another injection, you must be responding. In any case, painful though they may be, epidurals are nothing compared to spinal surgery, and you should avoid any surgical option as long as other therapies are working.

Hi there! I'm not an expert or a physician, but I can tell you that I have been experiencing similar pain that you are describing for about five years. I'm a woman, so this would only apply if you have that oh so famous X chromosome. Anyway, for me the pain is more like a dull ache that seems to worsen at certain times of the month. It is concentrated in the lower right pelvic area (feels like it is in the abdominal area, too), and at times radiates down my right leg. My regular doctor originally diagnosed it as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease or PID. After more symptoms developed, I finally requested to see a specialist. I lucked out and was set up to see the head of gynecology at a local hospital. She ran a series of tests and finally told me that she suspected endometriosis. The only way to know for sure was to undergo a pelvic laparoscopy. I didn't want to be put under and have never had any type of surgery before, but after discussing it with my family, I decided to go ahead with the procedure. It wasn't all that bad and I find out with certainty that I did have endometriosis. The doctor removed what she could, but explained that there could be more. My saga continues because I still have the symptoms and the dull ache. At times, it really interferes with my life and drags me down. So far, I have tried three different therapies - to no avail. I usually don't get too personal here, but this is a topic that I have become very passionate about. It is so misunderstood and there is no cure. So if anyone reading this is living with endometriosis, you're not alone. Hopefully by speaking out, when can accelerate the learning curve and find out what causes this horrible disease and take steps to cure it. I had pains just like that and mine were from pessure on the sciatic nerve. As you can see it really could be anything, go and see a doctor.

No you don't have to be completely naked. A good massage therapist will keep you covered with towel's all the time anyway.If you are female its best without a bra so that the back can be fully open for a good massage,but your breasts will be covered. For Thai Massage you keep fully dresses with soft clothes.

When I had that issue it was sciatica. Basically a pinched nerve I think. Nothing ever really helped. Heat and ice and ibuprofen was what the doc told me. It did get some better after seeing an osteopath for adjustments several times. Hope this finds you feeling better.

I don't know anything about it myself, I just found that page when searching. I would recommend finding more information. Sorry I can't be more help

yes, typically caused by the implantation of the baby. keep an eye on it though. if it becomes frequent and more painful call your doctor or midwife.

Like most areas of the body, lower back or lumbar pain is considered to be a chronic problem when it lasts longer than three months; some authorities contend the pain would have to last six months or longer to be considered chronic.

This is kind of like when you "crack" your knuckles... a bubble of nitrogen gas actually gets "sucked" out of the blood/tissue surrounding the knuckle into the joint. In this case it has happened in a spinal disk that is degenerating (wearing out)... It's fairly rare. Nothing to worry about as long as that is what it is... Very very rarely, early infections can look something like this in a disc, but your doctor has run the appropriate lab tests to make sure it's nothing to be concerned about... (otherwise you wouldn't be asking about something on an XRay report)

Lower back pain can be caused by a multitude of things and is extremely frequent in people over the age of just twenty five. One of the most common causes of lower back pain is poor posture for prolonged periods of time whether it be walking, or sitting in a chair. This can be improved or corrected by correcting the posture and using the assistance of chairs that are ergonomically designed.

Sometimes you can injure your lower back and this can take a long time to heal on its own. If it is too serious you may never recover and will require surgery and in rare cases need to have a disk removed.

Obesity can also cause lower back pain problems. An overweight person carries most of their weight on the front side of their body placing an enormous amount of stress on the back which helps to carry it. A simple diet change with exercise to strengthen the back can often remedy this.

A chiropractor will first evaluate the patient to identify the reason for the pain. He will then use Chiropractic Adjustment or Active Release Technique or both to relieve the pain .

If the neck pain is causing the headache, this is called cervicogenic headache. If the headache is causing the neck pain, treating the headache will also treat the neck pain. Pain Management Specialists and Headache Specialists are the doctors best suited to treat these types of headaches.

There are several ailments that can cause pain on the right side under the rib cage and king of going into the front of the body. Many times it is the kidneys that will cause this type of pain. A doctor can diagnose the problem by running some tests.
