Sitting, standing, walking, and even sleeping becomes very inconvenient to go
about when a pain in the back sets in. Putting it plainly, an individual's
normal functions are radically hampered. Etiologically, a pain the back could be
due to numerous causes. However, the two very common back problems are disc
displacement due to injury or aging and degenerative disc disease.
Disc
degeneration is due to the loss of water content present between the gaps of two
corresponding vertebrae. This causes pinching of a nerve followed by pain.
Medically, this is termed as lumbar radiculopathy. Here, nerve irritation
secondary to discs' damage between the vertebrae occurs. The disc, per se,
experiences 'Wear and Tear' either due to degeneration or a traumatic injury.
Normally, bulging discs are confused with disc ruptures. Bulging discs are
normal as they tend to bulge during the day in view of the body weight they are
burdened with and automatically become normal when asleep. A traumatized disc is
a serious condition and needs emergency medical attention. A jelly-like
substance termed 'nucleus pulposus' oozes out of ruptured discs.
Pain In
The Middle Back And Its Causes
The back bone or the middle of the back
tends to inflammate subsequent to improper body posturing and sitting for a long
period of time. An improper chair could be the main cause of a mid-back pain.
Further, acute stress and emotional burdens indirectly cause the back muscles to
become stiff culminating in back muscle pain.
A slipped disc or
joint-related problems are caused by abnormal twisting and bending of the spinal
column. A muscle strain in the back could also cause this pain. A case in point
would be the lifting of heavy objects spontaneously and haphazardly. A back
muscle pain is very common. However, in case a rib is fractured, a constant
continuous pain is experienced in the middle back area and the chest. Another
aspect of back pain could be due to the onset of osteoporosis. Renal infections
also give rise to mid-back inflammation. Its symptoms are associated with
difficulty in urinating.
A gastric or duodenal ulcer also causes pain in
the middle of the back. Pain generally sets in after a meal. Unregulated
strenuous exercises done without the consult of a physician injures the muscles
in the back thereby causing pain.
The back is the most vital bony
structure of the body and it should be immaculately taken care of throughout
life's entire tenure. A balanced and healthy diet coupled with exercising
regimens will do a world of good to the back. Ensure that the back is always
kept pain free.
