Does back pain have anything to do with drinking?

There is a relationship between low back pain and alcohol consumption. If the patient has lumbar muscle stiffness, lumbar muscle strain, drinking alcohol will accelerate the muscle tissue metabolism, so that the ischemic symptoms are aggravated, and the lumbar pain will be obvious. In addition, if the patient has lumbar disc herniation, the nerve itself has edema and inflammation, drinking alcohol will also accelerate the metabolism of the nerve tissue, resulting in increased nerve ischemia and hypoxia, and the patient will have the clinical symptom of lumbar pain. Excessive drinking of alcohol by the patient will cause deep sleep to persist, and the inability to change body position frequently will cause continuous pressure on the lumbar region, resulting in clinical symptoms of pain in the lumbar region. Therefore, there is a relationship between low back pain and alcohol consumption, and alcohol consumption should be minimized or eliminated in general.
