Excerpt from the Book
SEEKING THE CAUSE OF BACK PAIN
There are innumerable causes of back pain. We shall deal with each of them in detail. To begin with, we shall start with the medical causes of this ailment.
1. ARTHRITIS: It refers to the inflammation of joints. Arthritis when related to back pain refers to arthritis in the back. The condition could badly worsen during night time or while walking. It is generally an acute condition characterized by severe pain and discomfort in the lower back. There are various different types of arthritis that form the causes of back pain. Some of them are as follows.
• RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: This is one form of arthritis whose causes are still unknown. Some reports claim the cause to be a virus while others believe that it might be caused because of some defect in the immune system of the body. Although, the mysterious cause, one thing is for certain that rheumatoid arthritis leads to crippling pain in joints and backs. The pain intensity could be severely crushing and at times be totally unbearable as there are chances that the joints get inflamed, they tend to thicken and in some extreme cases may also be severely damaged. The main problem with rheumatoid arthritis is the fact that the disease tends to appear at intermittent intervals as the pain may entirely vanish in between and just when you let down your guards they might reappear with added severity. Hence, if you have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis before, pay attention to your body’s needs.
