What causes lower back pain and hip pain after a spinal fusion?

The spine holds all tissues and organs into place. When one has back surgery they are sore so their body compensates to the most comfortable position possible. Thus, you may walk to one side to ease the pain or even hobble and this can create hip pain. I have a callous on the ball of my right foot that I have to continue to keep down because if I don't (doesn't take much to build up) I notice that I am compensating and my left hip is out and sore right down to my ankle. Once I have repaired it then I walk better and my hip problem goes away. In your case after back surgery is could take several weeks to several months before you can walk properly. Try a walker if you aren't using one already and try to keep as much weight off your hips as possible. Physiotherapy is good at this time and usually doing so in a tepid pool of water is a good idea as the body becomes buoyant and relaxes you and puts less stress on your back, hips and legs while still strengthening them. Hope you get better soon. This hip pain may be from the site which they harvested bone from to create a bony fusion, but this is only if you had a fusion surgery.

What are common causes of back pain with nausea?

There are three very common conditions that can cause nausea and back pain at the same time.

  1. Constipation - both the nausea and lower belly/back pain comes from pressure on nerves in the bowel. Once you relieve the constipation, the two symptoms get better.
  2. Kidney Infection - if the pain is right above your hip bone on one or both sides, you might have a kidney infection.
  3. Gallbladder Disease - If the pain is in your upper back and generally occurs right after eating a fatty meal, it is most likely your gallbladder. Fats are in fried foods, cooked meats, gravies, etc.

Talk to your doctor to determine which of these is causing your pain and nausea.

What does a HLA-B27 blood test detect?

This is a blood test to detect the presence of HLA-B27 in white blood cells.

The test is conducted to look for specific protein found on the surface of white blood cells. The protein is called human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) that help the body's immune system tell the difference between its own cells and foreign, harmful substances.

The test is referred when you have symptoms of chronic inflammation, pain, and stiffness in certain areas of your body, such as your back, neck, and chest, or eyes, especially if you are male. A positive test means HLA-B27 is present. It suggests a greater-than-average risk for developing Ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter syndrome or Sacroiliitis (inflammation of the sacroiliac joint).

If HLA-B27 is not present, then the association is not there.

Is a warm sensation in lower back and dull lower backache a normal symptom in early pregnancy?

I too had a dull aching in my lower belly at approx six weeks pregnant and it was accompanied by a brown discharge so as you can imagine I thought the worst. The pain was very similar to a period pain and I was convinced something was wrong and so the hospital gave me an early scan and everything was ok. I have also read on the internet that you can get growing pains during early pregnancy which apparently is the womb preparing itself for the growth of a baby. Also you can become constipated during pregnancy which also can be a very similar pain to a period pain. I hope this has helped and I wish you and baby all the best x

Is it normal to have lower back pain at 9 months pregnant?

Lower back pain with contractions normally signals labor. Call your doctor. Yes. Lower back pain can occur especially with the last trimester of pregnancy due to increase in size of the abdomen, which in turn shifts your center of body weight and gravity. This in turn causes more work for your lower back muscles to control the posture. Usually, lower back pain in pregnancy is mechanical, meaning that if you adjust your position and rest, the pain would subside. If the pain persists upon adjustment of position, consult your GYNE immediately for this may be a sign of labor.

Pain in the back of the head with trickling feeling?

1/1/09 I had a headache in the back of my head that wouldn't go away and morbid thoughts (death, etc.) I had been on a crash diet. I bought a VITAMIN B COMPLEX at the drugstore. Within 3 days I was feeling great again. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Finally GOD showed me what was wrong with me, really. Tension-type headaches frequently manifest at the back/base of the head and in the neck. These are characterized by the sensation of dull but constant, non-throbbing pressure. They can be caused by general stress/anxiety, irregular eating habits, overuse of tobacco or alcohol, sleep deprivation, or other factors. Some types of migraines also manifest at the back of the head. These differ from tension headaches in that the pain is more severe and prolonged, and tends to be made worse by routine physical activity (e.g., the pain sharpens notably during or after physical exertion).

Most of these headaches can be treated effectively with over-the-counter pain medication; ibuprofen is particularly recommended for tension-type headaches. But if your headache persists for more than a few days, you should seek medical attention, because chronic headaches in this area could be the result of a potentially dangerous underlying condition, not to mention that they can impair your ability to function normally.

How do you avoid back pains when on the computer?

Can you crush morphine and smoke it to get high?

yes because crushing a liquid is physically possible. If you get morphine pills, it will have an immediate effect. Make sure you have the right dosages though because you could OD easily. The dosages people report snorting are in the 5-30mg range and the dose people have reported smoking is more in the 3-10mg range. Morphine is highly addictive even more so than weed so be careful because you can get hooked after 3-4 times.

I am getting lower back and upper back pain My uric acid is 8.1 Is that the reason I am getting a pain?

What is the best type of massage to relieve back pain?

The purpose of a back massager is to reach out all trigger points to relieve back pain. Ideally, a massage done by someone is the best for your back. But it is not a feasible option. A good back massager is one that gives a gentle but effective massage to your back. A back massager is not only effective for back pain relief but also for shoulder and neck pain. It can also be used to release stress. Care should be taken while purchasing one because all the available massagers have different functioning. Try out as many as you can before buying and go for the one that is the most comfortable to your trigger points. Personally, I use osim's back massager. It works really well for me.

In short, "best back massager" will differ for every person. You need to figure out the most comfortable one for yourself!
