What’s Causing Your Back Pain Symptoms?
By Jane Parry Reviewed by Rosalyn Carson-DeWitt, MD
Knowing the cause of your symptoms is the first step to finding relief.
The term back pain covers a wide range of symptoms that include shooting and stabbing pain, tingling or burning sensations, or pain that radiates from the back into the buttocks, thighs, and down the leg. The pain can be intense and short-lived or can persist at a less intense level for weeks or even months.
When Back Pain Strikes
Back pain often begins simply enough and then develops into a larger, longer-term problem. For example, Kathy Griffin, 47, a researcher from Toronto, spent months carrying a clingy toddler on her hip. When she went back to work at her desk job, she almost immediately developed back pain that began on her left side, where she usually carried her daughter.
