Back pain will commonly have a number of symptoms, but is not limited to any four, and requires a combination of symptoms and examination, with the following signs being common.
Constant pain and stiffness anywhere along the spine from the neck to the tailbone.
Severe localized pain in the neck, upper back, or lower back, especially after lifting heavy objects or participating in other strenuous exercise. Upper back pain can also be a sign of a heart attack or other life-threatening illness. Chronic pain in the middle of the back or in the lower back, especially after prolonged sitting and standing.
It spreads from the lower back to the hips, then to the backs of the thighs and all the way down to calf and toe pain. Inability to stand up straight without low back pain or muscle spasms.
When any of these symptoms occur, you should seek medical attention, which will be determined by a doctor’s interview.
