Common Symptoms of Back Pain

Understanding your back pain starts with recognizing the symptoms. While everyone may experience their pain differently, the following are a list of common symptoms to consider:

• Aching muscles in the back and neck region
• Shooting pain
• Stabbing or burning sensation
• Pain that radiates down one or both legs

If you are experiencing back pain, you may experience one or more of these symptoms. The only way to truly stop your pain is to consult a medical professional to get the proper treatment.

When to See a Doctor about Back Pain

While it would be nice if every ache and pain would go away on its own, sometimes that is not the case. While most back pain will slowly improve with some rest and at-home treatment, there may come a time to call the doctors and figure out what steps need to be taken to get you back on track. The following list contains common indicators that it is time to seek the help of a physician to heal your back pain:

• Your back pain is severe and does not improve with rest
• It persists beyond a couple of weeks
• Your pain has spread to one or both legs
• You are experiencing abnormal weight loss along with back pain
• You are experiencing weakness, tingling, or numbness in one or both legs
• You have experienced an ongoing fever

While rare, back pain can be a symptom of other serious medical conditions and should not be taken lightly if you are experiencing any of the above symptoms. Additionally, if your pain results from any kind of personal injury like a hard fall or an accident, you should seek out a doctor’s opinion to properly diagnose the root cause of your pain.
