If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should consult a doctor promptly:

  • Back pain that radiates to the buttocks or legs

  • Back pain that persists for more than 3 months

  • Sudden back pain that interferes with daily activities

  • Back pain following an accident or sports injury

Recurring Back Pain May Indicate These Spinal Conditions

1. Nerve Impingement from a Herniated (Displaced) Disc

This condition can cause sudden and severe inflammation, often presenting as lower back pain.
Symptoms may include:

  • Pain on one or both sides of the lower back

  • Pain aggravated by sitting or bending

  • Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the leg muscles

2. Spinal Stenosis

Symptoms can resemble those of a herniated disc but tend to occur intermittently or worsen gradually.
Characteristics include:

  • Chronic, centralized lower back pain

  • Pain triggered by standing or walking

  • Inability to walk long distances

  • Leg weakness, numbness, or muscle fatigue

3. Spinal Nerve Compression

This condition causes chronic pain that often appears during specific movements such as bending, arching, or walking.
Symptoms include:

  • Back pain and leg pain

  • A sensation of heaviness in the hips or legs

  • Severe cases may lead to loss of bowel or bladder control (medical emergency)

4. Cervical Spine Degeneration

If symptoms occur in the neck, arms, or legs, patients may experience:

  • Neck pain, shoulder pain, or stiffness

  • Pain radiating down the back or to the tailbone

  • Arm pain, tingling, or weakness in the arms, elbows, or fingers

  • Difficulty writing or playing musical instruments

  • If the legs are affected: unsteady gait, short steps, or abnormal leg stiffness
