The Lumbar Pain Scale
September 14, 2009 by Tucker
Bearing in mind that pain is an early indication of potential back problems, knowing the difference in pain types is a must. Short-term pain is referred to as acute pain. The basis why acute pain subsists is to tell the body that there’s something wrong. This kind of pain may be caused by an injury or trauma. Occasionally, acute pain entails immediate attention due to the possibility of having tissue damage.
When pain is constant it is considered to be chronic pain. This means that it could be possible that both your body and mind are involved in this stage. With chronic pain, the body is frequently firing pain signals in the nervous system. Self-esteem and relationships could suffer while undergoing chronic pain. Unfortunately many chronic pain patients have become used to this sort of life. Nowadays, low back pain and neck pain sufferers have multiple treatment options available for the different pain types.
A somewhat new mid back pain treatment called non-surgical spinal decompression has been capturing popularity in the low back pain arena. Non-surgical lumbar decompression therapy provides relief of pain associated with herniated disks, bulging disks, degenerative discdisease and sciatica.

I wish I could say what exactly was causing the problem, but I can't. What I CAN tell you is that I, for the life of me, CAN NOT figure out why she is on Potassium supplements AND Spironolactone. Spiro was originally developed as a medication for high blood pressure and is basically a diaretic. Most diaretics are Potassium depleting, however Spiro isn't. It's actually a Potassium sparing medication, which means that if you don't keep an eye on your diet in terms of your Potassium intake, it could reach toxic levels and actually be fatal. I'm on Spiro & Sprintec for acne, because spiro is also effective in controlling hormones and is best used w/ a birth control pill. I would see another doctor ASAP and present to them the list of meds she's on. She needs another blood test and don't leave until you have some solid answers, this doesn't sound like a "virus," and "Chronic abdominal pain" is just rediculous. It doesn't come out of the blue w/ no cause and pain meds are just going to mask the symptom of potentially a larger problem. Good luck, I hope she gets better soon!
Oh, By the way, if Potassium levels get to a toxic level, they can cause Kidney damage as well as heart damage, that's how serious it is.
[...] Stabilisation exercises for low back pain: a systematic review I was recently in a forum for dancers where I suggested that there were no specific exercises that were particularly helpful for low back pain horrors! Someone said You mean the doctor might as well have said to go home and pick your nose as do even Pilates , to which I sighed not exactly what I meant.
