Question by : Lower Back Pain When Bending Backwards?
Hello. I'm 21 years old and am experiencing lower back pain when I bend backwards. I've been experiencing it for a few months and have read if lower back pain persists for over a few weeks, it should be checked out. I'm also very prone to anxiety, I feel like I am short of breathe a lot but I feel now that it may be a result of panic attacks rather than anything significant, although I'm not certain. Another odd symptom I've been having for about a week or two is my top left eyelid twitches randomly throughout the day. It seems to happen spontaneously. I have a lot of GI problems but have had many tests and was diagnosed with gastritis but i don't know if that has any relevance to my back pains. I also did Accutane a little over a year ago but I'm not sure if that's connected. I haven't had an x-ray or anything so I'm a little bit concerned. I can't really afford a doctor visit at the moment and my main question is: Could it be cancer?
I've read that back pains may be a symptom of some forms of cancer but would cancer cause pains to occur while bending backwards? It happens mainly when I bend backwards and sometimes when I bend forward or sit in certain positions. Another thing worth mentioning is that I received a spinal tap before, and during the process I jumped and the doctor responded in a critical tone "Why did you jump?!". The only reason I mention that is because the pain is actually in that very area. I don't think there's a connection but is there a chance of lumbar puncture complications? Also, when I bend forward my lower spine protrudes quite a bit but upper does not at all. One last thing to mention is that I've been doing yoga prior to back pains and did a lot of different back bends. I haven't done yoga in a long time due to the assumption that maybe the back bends caused it. But it has been so long since then...so i'm not sure. Can yoga result in back injuries that may last for a long period of time? Anyone have any theories? What could possibly be causing this? I just hope it's likely to be something negligible because cancer scares the crap out of me.
This is a long and detailed question so if you read it, thank you for reading and I hope someone medically educated may have a comforting response. I will eventually see a doctor but right now It's out of the question.
Best answer:
Iv had cancer and i knew i had it when i was seeing double and was puking everyday. I don't think you have cancer, I'm not positive but it doesn't sound like it at all. . .The spinal tap that u got and u jumped the doctor probably hit your spine with the needle, it happened to me too. Maybe its a fracture?

Experiencing back pain is something that almost all of us have experienced at least once in our lifetimes. This is a condition for which a great many people require treatment. Lower back pain is not pleasant and in some instances it can totally immobilize anyone no matter how strong they are. The best bet as far as overcoming lower back pain is to identify and treat the cause.
Without understanding the cause of lower back pain it would be hard to figure out the best treatment. A major contributor to this problem is when a person is carrying an excessive amount of weight on their body, which can cause strains and injuries. A person who is overweight will be more prone to suffering from lower back pain. There are several other causes of lower back pain that have been identified, which include improper mobility in the hip region, poor core stability, and improper technique when doing weight training.
Another common reason for lower back pain is compression and shifting of the nerves. And, just like a piece of machinery will wear out over time, so too the body will begin to show signs of wear and tear and will then require proper maintenance to prevent ailments such as lower back pain.
Bed rest is not the best solution insofar as treating lower back pain goes. Though bed rest can alleviate the condition it is also necessary that the affected body part is exercised (even in small doses) to ensure that the back does not stiffen up. Yoga in particular has been found to be useful in keeping the muscles in good condition.
When one is in search of the best treatment for back pain there are a few pain killers to choose from, such as NSAIDS (non steroidal anti-inflammatory pain medication), pronounced as en-sayds. These are available over the counter and help with pain relief and reduce swelling. Another option is an injection of cortisone which helps with the treatment of inflammation. Surgery is also one of the options depending on the severity of the condition. Your doctor will be able to give you the best advice.
Millions of people suffer from lower back pain, whether it's a single episode or an ongoing condition. Learn more about the problem, its causes and how to relieve severe lower back pain at Back Pain Management.
