weakness. The stress of weight, from heavier people puts a lot of pressure that they have no muscles to accomodate for.\n\nThis is not either A or D.\n\nUnaligned posture puts pressure on the back that with good strength can be supported.

It could be scoliosis, or it could be your back is out or a few other things.  You need to see a physician for a diagnosis.

NO NO NO. Bursitis in NOT caused by back problems!!!  OMG that dr. is not giving you good info.  It is an inflammation of the Bursa sac that is in the joint.  It swells and then causes pressure and pain.  You can use ice and ibuprofen (if okay with dr.) or some other kind of NSAID.  You can also get injections into the joint that will take away the pain (they hurt a bit but are worth it if it helps). You may be sitting to much and aggravating the bursitis but you need more into about it.  Go to webmd and put in bursitis to learn more about it.  It is worth learning about.  Unfortunetly no one is too young to get arthritis.

MRI isnt necessarily going to let you know whats the cause of your back pain. If you have fallen recently, you may have a some sort of vertebral bruising. Typically back pain arrises from muscle strain. If you have done heavy lifiting or strenous excercise and your lower back hurts, the piriformis muscle (around the buttocks area) can become very tight causing very painful back pain. That muscle happens to tighten up often when i run alot. \n\nMy suggestion, get a nice lower back massage or, if you are worried, go see an osteopathic doctor. They can do back adjustments and/or give you a cortazone shot if need be in order to help with pain. I deffintely recommend a DO over and MD... \n\n...good luck...

Lower back pain is caused by weak abdominal muscles.  Muscles work in pairs--one contracts, the other works. Your abs and your lower back are such a pair.  When your abs are weak, your back has to do more work, and therefore it's stressed and hurts.\nHowever there are MUCH better ways to strengthen your abs than these silly machines they sell on TV.

If it's not a psychological issue, there is a possiblilty that it may stem from problems in the low back.  I've seen cases where the nerves of the low back are not working properly so that the messages between the bladder and the brain aren't being transmitted properly.  Check out the website below to find a chiropractor that may be able to help with that.  Best of luck.

The causes of back pain can be mechanical, meaning from your bones, muscles, or joints, or it could be organic in nature.  That means that the pain is being caused by something more internal that is referring pain to the back.  Kidney infection, or stones will commonly refer pain to the back.  One simple way to help determine if the pain is more mechanical in nature is to see if you can find a comfortable position to get into.  If you can, then the pain is probably from an injury to your spinal joints or a sprained muscle.  Did you notice anything that might have caused a sprained back?  For example heavy lifting.  Disc hernitations are common and can cause serious back pain.  You can not see a disc herniation on an x-ray.  You need an MRI for that.  If you went to the hospital, assuming the ER, they are concerned mostly about a fracture or other serious pathology.  \nIf you have a primary doctor go see him or her.  You can also seek out a chiropractor.  Either will help you understand the cause of your pain.

I think you mean spondylitis which is inflammation of one or more vertebrae in your spine!  This is caused by a fixation of the vertebral joint.  This can cause problems such as degenerative disk disease, bone spurs, ect. and also can cause problems in areas of innervation from the nerve passing through that area.  The most effective and safest treatment for this problem is to see a chiropractor!

Back pain is often associated with the kidneys.  Your kidneys are located near your back, alongside your spine, but above your waistline. Each kidney contains over a million nephrons. These nephrons are necessary for proper kidney function.   Nephrotoxicity, one of the most common kidney problems, occurs when your body is exposed to a drug or toxin that causes damage to your kidneys.   When kidney damage occurs, you are unable to rid your body of excess urine, and wastes. Your blood electrolytes (such as potassium, and magnesium) will all become elevated. These conditions can often cause pain.

There are so many causes of lower back pain that it would take a while to list them all.  They include kidney stones, spinal cord injury, disk disease, improper lifting, sprains and strains, sciatica, pinched nerve, compression fracture, prostate cancer or breast cancer that has spread to the spine, and the list goes on.  The most important thing is that if you have lower back pain that isn't respoinding to the usual treatments and lasts for more than a week, see your doctor.  Most likely it isn't anything serious, but it could be serious.

Radiating pain, numbness, tingling ("pins and needles"), or other sensation down the buttock into the back of the legs...especially when forward bending or stretching the hamstrings.  Sciatic issues can develop for several different reasons.. most commonly from nerve irritation from bones and muscles around the vertebra in the lower back, pelvis, and hip regions.  Chiropractors can be very helpful in dealing with sciatica.

A slipped, or herniated, disc can be related to age and lack of exercise as well as any stresses placed on the back.  Gentle exercise, under the supervision of a doctor, is beneficial, as can be weight loss or in severe cases surgery.  The pain can be terrible, and pay attention to any signs of movement problems.  BTW, this may be beyond anything a chiropractor can do.

You have to work your back muscles daily. I talked to a natural nutritionist who said scoliosis is caused by a bacteria formed and settled around the spine, then as it grows it causes your spine to curve.  dAlot of working out, the stronger the muscle the straightrt the spine.
