It is estimated that there are well over 200 separate causes of Back pain, ranging from the temporary injury of a sudden twist all the way to cancer.
The low back is an strong, complex and intricate structure where bones, muscles, ligaments, fascia, tendons and discs are connected to support the body, create movement and protect the delicate spinal nerves in the area. Of all these, the low back muscles and disc tissue are the two elements of the low back that are most responsible for backache, no matter what the specific cause might be. The difficulty of giving you an answer to this question is that many times a person will have several different problems going on at the same time ( for example, having Arthritis, being overweight, weak muscles, and falling down the stairs) that it is practically impossible to say which of several problems is the actual cause of backache when it occurs.
Acute back pain (lasting for one to three weeks) is usually caused by an injury of some type or an aggravation of a deep fundamental problem of the low back (birth defect or arthritis). The younger the person with back pain, the more likely the back pain is related to direct injury.
Chronic back pain (lasting three months or longer) tends to related some type of degenerative problem of the spine (disc thinning or bone spurs) that is part of the aging process, or secondary to disease of the area. The older the person with back pain, the more likely the back pain is related to spinal degeneration (spondylosis).
Just a brief list of what could go wrong to cause backaches:
- Strains and sprains from overuse and direct trauma to soft tissue of the back
- Prolonged inactivity and simply being out of shape
- Cumulative effects of obesity
- Disc herniation, disc tearing, disc thinning
- Facet joint hypertrophy, facet joint arthritis
- Sciatic neuritis
- Degenerative joint disease
- Osteoarthritis
- Lumbar joint misalignment (subluxation)
- Muscle spasm
- Sacroiliac joint inflammation or structural instability
- Kidney problem of any type
- Pregnancy
- Referred pain from gynecological problems (ovaries, uterus)
- Referred pain from prostate problems
- Aortic aneurysm (major weakness and bulging of aorta artery)
- Bone tumor
Always consult with a doctor if your backache cannot be explained (backache that starts the day after you move a refrigerator) or for back pain that does not respond in one week to ice, rest and over-the-counter pain mediation.

How do you use a tampon or pad?
Hold the tampon with the thumb and middle finger the rounded end facing the vagina. If using applicator tampons then place the front half of the applicator directly into the vagina until your fingers touch your skin. Then use the first finger to gently insert or push the center of the applicator into the outer tube of the applicator. Pull back on the applicator with your fingers to remove. The tampon remains inserted with a string hanging on the outside. If using non-applicator tampons then place the rounded end of the tampon directly into the vagina, then use your first finger to gently insert or push the tampon into the vagina as far as it will go, aiming towards the small of your back, the tampon is in place with a string hanging down.
Don't be scared to touch your vagina, both it and menstrual flow is very clean, it's yours so no reason to fear touching that area. Push as far as it will go comfortably --- you will feel a resistance when it hits your back vaginal wall, which means you have pushed it all the way into your vagina and into the correct position. If the tampon feels uncomfortable, it's not in far enough. If it is uncomfortable push it in a little farther, or take it out and try again with a new tampon. If you are nervous and clench your muscles you won't be able to get the tampon into the right position.
Remember a tampon will not get stuck inside you, and it can not get lost inside your body. You can easily pull it out with the string, or with your fingers if there is no string attached. If the string does break and you can't get it out with your fingers, you will have to see a doctor right away.
Remove the tampon after 4-6 hours. Realize that if you feel some resistance when removing the tampon, it usually is because it is dry and can still absorb more menstrual flow. In this case switch to a lighter absorbency next time you insert a tampon. When you first start using tampons, you won't know when it's ready to be taken out. In a few days, take it out by pulling gently on the string with your muscles relaxed. Soon you'll get to where you can feel the difference between one that's full and one that isn't. After removing a tampon you should use a pad, this gives your vagina a chance to clean out the bacteria within the vagina caused by the tampon so lessens risk of TSS and infections.
Tampons and tampon applicators are not flush-able!
