Back Pain: When To Seek Medical Advice
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Most back pain gradually improves with home treatment and self-care. Although the pain may take several weeks to disappear completely, you should notice some improvement within the first 72 hours of self-care. If not, see your doctor.
In rare cases, back pain can signal a serious medical problem. See a doctor immediately if your back pain:
* Is constant or intense, especially at night or when you lie down
* Spreads down one or both legs, especially if the pain extends below the knee
* Causes weakness, numbness or tingling in one or both legs
* Causes new bowel or bladder problems
* Is associated with pain or pulsation (throbbing) in the abdomen, or fever
* Follows a fall, blow to your back or other injury
* Is accompanied by unexplained weight loss
Also, see your doctor if you start having back pain for the first time after age 50, or if you have a history of cancer, osteoporosis, steroid use, or drug or alcohol abuse.
