Is It Just Back Pain – or Something More?
Back pain is widespread - from desk work to home projects. But persistent or intense discomfort might point to chronic back pain diagnosis, not ordinary strain. Ignoring warning signs delays recovery and complicates treatment.
Understanding the warning signs
Not all pain is the same. Temporary aches resolve on their own, but persistent pain that interferes with daily life, or radiates down legs, could signal serious conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
When back pain becomes a medical concern
Look out for these red flags:
Pain lasting more than 6 weeks
Numbness or tingling in legs or feet
Leg weakness or difficulty walking
Bladder or bowel control loss (seek immediate help)
Pain worsens during coughing or sneezing
If any of these appear, schedule a medical evaluation immediately.
Common causes of chronic back pain
Chronic pain usually stems from one of these underlying issues, especially in adults over 40:
Degenerative disc disease – age-related wear and tear
Herniated or bulging discs – pressing on nerves
Spinal stenosis – narrowing spinal canal
Poor posture – from prolonged sitting
Obesity – extra strain on spine
Injury or trauma – accidents, falls, or repetitive strain
Early diagnosis of these helps prevent progression.
