The Dangers Of Lower Lateral Back Pain | New Health and Fitness

New Health And Fitness.Org - Health Information You Can Use

Most individuals, if they have any type of ache in the lower back assume that it is due to having slept badly or having sat awkwardly at their desk or behind the wheel.

While this may usually be the case, the spine runs down the centre of your back, so back pain ought to be in the centre too.

A herniated or slipped disc, however, may trap the sciatic nerve which can cause ache to radiate down one side into the buttock and even as far down as the lower calf. This type of pain is also normally on one side or the other, although it can trap both sciatic nerves and affect both sides on rare occasions.

You can also get back pain that is more precisely related to the pelvis. The hip bones (ilia) are really loose but are tightly bound to the pelvis (sacrum) with ligaments. This arrangement permits the sacroiliac joints to absorb shocks from walking and jumping.

The sacroiliac joints can also cause pain and a dull, lower back ache although it is more common in older women who have had several children. So, with all these forms of back ache, it is scarcely astonishing that people dismiss the first signs of back ache.

However, there is another reason for ?lower back ache?, which appears to be more on one side than the other. The reason for this kind of pain is very dangerous and has nothing to do with the back, although it might appear like back ache, particularly at first. The cause I am thinking of is kidney injury.

Kidney injury may become life-threatening; it may creep up on you and it may lead to a lifelong requirement for dialysis or a kidney transplant. It is far more dangerous than back ache. Most significant kidney concerns begin with a minor infection, which is left untreated for so long that it ruins the performance of the kidney.

If you are so misfortunate as to get this sort of difficulty, hope that it is accompanied by a fever, because this is frequently the first indication someone gets that the problem does not lie in his or her back.

The fever will give you hot and cold flushes and even delusions. Kidney infections are normally begun in the bladder or the urinary tract and are known as UTI?s.

Women and diabetics are most prone to UTI?s and therefore kidney infections too. So, if you do not often get lower back pain, or if you fall into the classes most at risk, you should not dismiss lateral lower back ache as trivial.

Always go to see your physician who will be able to tell from your reaction to a few simple bends, what the likely cause of your back pain is. This can then get confirmed with an X-Ray. Do not have to have dialysis or a kidney transplant just for the sake of a visit to the physician.
