Back Pain!

Hello To, All My Dear Readers Followers and Blogging Friends ❤

Hoping all of you are keeping well and managing to get on with Your Lives in Good Health and in Peace. These days the on going Health issue is causing much stress and also people working from home and not much relaxation or exercises seems to result in aches in the body mainly Neck, Shoulder and Back aches. That I thought of writing about it!

How Anxiety Causes Back Pain: And How to Stop It

  • Anxiety, especially chronic anxiety, commonly leads to back pain
  • Muscle tension may be the primary cause, but there are other supplementary anxiety symptoms that could also cause back pain
  • Simple lifestyle changes can reduce some of the back pain
  • One simple change: posture, which can be affected by anxiety in several ways
  • Eliminating back pain from anxiety, specifically, traditionally requires anxiety treatments

Low Back Pain

Also known as: lumbagoPain or ache in the lower region of the back, varying in intensity.

  • Pronunciation: Lumbago /lʌmˈbeɪɡoʊ/
  • Usual onset: 20 to 40 years of age
  • Duration: 65% get better in 6 weeks
  • Types: Acute (less than 6 weeks), sub-chronic (6 to 12 weeks), chronic (more than 12 weeks)
  • Frequency: 25% in any given month

Common causes

Low back pain is not always related to an underlying condition. It may be caused by:

  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Sudden jerks in a motor vehicle
  • Excessive strain on the muscle due to prolonged sitting or wrong positioning while sleeping
  • Prolonged use of high heel shoes
  • Also common during pregnancy, before/during menstruation

Treatment

Self-treatment: Self- care steps that may be helpful in some less- serious cases:

  • Apply muscle relaxant ointments or sprays
  • Try resting the back for a while
  • Avoid heavy physical activities for couple of days
  • Apply heat or cold compress – depending on what soothes the body
  • Try over the counter pain relievers.
  • Avoid jerky or painful movements
  • Observe the pain location and intensity, whether the pain is constant or appears during certain activities like bending, stretching and such

See a doctor if you notice:

  • Persistent pain for over 72 hours
  • Recurrent pain
  • Spreading of pain to other regions like leg, arms or neck
  • Difficulty sleeping, sitting or disturbance in daily activities

See a doctor immediately if you notice:

  • Severe and unbearable pain
  • Injury
  • Other symptoms like fatigue, fever etc

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor or miss work, and it is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Back pain can range from a muscle aching. In addition, the pain may radiate down your leg or worsen with bending, twisting, lifting, standing or walking. Fortunately, you can take measures to prevent or relieve most back pain episodes. If prevention fails, simple home treatment and proper body mechanics often will heal your back within a few weeks and keep it functional.
Back pain includes lower back pain, middle back pain, upper back pain or low back pain with sciatica. Nerve and muscular problems. Back pain symptoms may be relived with pain medication.

Lower left back pain is a condition that affects many people – young and old. Very often, lower back pain affects just one side of your body and can cause discomfort ranging from mild aches to agonizing sharp pain. Lower back pain is also called lumbago because it causes discomfort in your lumbar region or lower back. This is the area in your lower back that is above your hips and below the bottom of your back rib cage. Muscle injury, nerve damage can all result in pain in the lower left back side.

What is sciatica?

Back pain includes lower back pain, middle back pain, upper back pain or low back pain with sciatica. Nerve and muscular problems. Back pain symptoms may be relived with pain medication. Sciatica is a condition that can lead to pain in the back and legs. It occurs when pain travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. This nerve starts in the lower spine, and travels through the hip and buttock and down the back of the leg to the foot. There are a range of different causes of sciatica. In most cases, the condition gets better over time, either on its own or with treatment.

Back pain and stress. We typically talk about back pain as mid-back and low-back pain. Over time, both affect your posture and the way you walk, which can lead to pain in the hips, knees, and feet. Mid-back pain includes muscles that are affected by breathing, including the chest and shoulder muscles. When you’re stressed, your breathing patterns change and cause strain and tension in the mid-back.

Risk factors

Anyone can develop back pain, even children and teens. These factors might put you at greater risk of developing back pain:

  • Age. Back pain is more common as you get older, but young people also can get it.
  • Lack of exercise. Weak, unused muscles in your back and abdomen might lead to back pain.
  • Excess weight. Excess body weight puts extra stress on your back.
  • Diseases. Some can contribute to back pain.
  • Improper lifting. Using your back instead of your legs can lead to back pain.
  • Psychological conditions. People prone to depression and anxiety appear to have a risk of back pain.
  • Smoking. Smokers have increased rates of back pain. This may occur because smoking prompts more coughing.

Prevention

You might avoid back pain or prevent its recurrence by improving your physical condition and learning and practicing proper body mechanics.

To keep your back healthy and strong:

  • Exercise. Regular low-impact aerobic activities — those that don’t strain or jolt your back — can increase strength and endurance in your back and allow your muscles to function better. Walking and swimming are good choices. Talk with your doctor about which activities you might try.
  • Build muscle strength and flexibility. Abdominal and back muscle exercises, which strengthen your core, help condition these muscles so that they work together like a naturally for your back.
  • Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight strains back muscles. If you’re overweight, trimming down can prevent back pain.

Avoid movements that twist or strain your back. Use your body properly:

  • Stand smart. Don’t slouch. Maintain a neutral pelvic position. If you must stand for long periods, place one foot on a low footstool to take some of the load off your lower back. Alternate feet. Good posture can reduce the stress on back muscles.
  • Sit smart. Choose a seat with good lower back support, armrests and a swivel base. Placing a pillow or rolled towel in the small of your back can maintain its normal curve. Keep your knees and hips level. Change your position frequently, at least every half-hour.
  • Lift smart. Avoid heavy lifting, if possible, but if you must lift something heavy, let your legs do the work. Keep your back straight — no twisting — and bend only at the knees. Hold the load close to your body. Find a lifting partner if the object is heavy or awkward.

Healing ~ Panic!

Hello To All My Followers, Readers and Blogging Friends ❤

Hope All of You are Keeping in Good Health. This is a Topic I have felt The Need to write as I have found out “Very Important at “These Times of Health Issues”. Healing Panic ❤

A panic attack is an unexpected episode of intense fear and anxiety accompanied by physical symptoms that are similar to the body’s normal response to danger. Panic disorder is the term used when a person is prone to repeated attacks of panic. “Chronic panic” probably means there are persistent symptoms, more suggestive of generalized anxiety disorder. Many people living with panic disorder describes feeling as though they are having a heart attack. The feeling may be so intense that they may seek emergency medical assistance, especially if they are unaware that they have panic disorder.

Update: 27th October 2021: Actually, there is a “Very Important incident for this” But now that it is long time ago (1924) I have taken off the full story. One day I had finished my shopping and sat to have a bit of a rest before going to the car. There was a lady seated in the same seat who was going to the shops having a rest. I asked her “Do you like reading and she said not much but “My daughter reads”. and she needs help. Then I said give her this card it is my website. “It is about Mental wellness. “To Give Hope and Strength” I got Healing Energy into My Hands after I went home, I hope my website helped her!

How is a panic disorder treated?

If you suffer from panic disorder, it can be helpful to know 2 things at First:

  • Don’t Think of Them as You are in life-threatening danger.
  • And keep Your strength and Hope that the symptoms will go away.

    At The same Time “Please see A Doctor “As soon as Possible”!
  • What is A Panic Attack: A Panic Attack is a response to a stressful situation, where you feel like you are losing control.

May 1st 2022: This is some new information I found in a “Psychology Magazine” Yes already it is shown water helps to feel fresh and to feel Relaxed, and to splash water on our faces above also, and even when we are tired and hot. But now what is being said is to use ice water if possible or very cold water. “A Sudden change in Temperature makes a, “Deeply Relaxing Shift so Muscle Tension and shakiness drops. And supposed to “Stop the Panic attack in its tracks” You need to take a Bowl of cold water, If possible or like to add some ice (ice might be not ok if its very cold winter or have sensitive skin). And to Dip your whole face in the bowl for a little while. All depends on each of you. And to do again if necessary 🙂

Here below “A New Picture”, of “Self Help” are Many Ways to, “Help To Reduce stress and To Help get over Anxiety” ❤

If you have a panic attack, you might have a racing heart and be flushed with sometimes Pain you chest also. You might feel sweaty, shaky, dizzy Faintish and breathless. You may not have all these and know “What You get” Whether it is mild or severe when people over work or get hurt, they get stressed. And when it comes to Healing, You have to somehow “Learn to Relax” and let Your feelings of  “Stress which is, discomfort or sadness reduced” ❤

Here are some more Ideas, “That You can choose or which are Possible for Each of You” To do As Soon As Possible ❤

You need to discuss with your closest, and that is your family members, as they are the people whom you come across almost daily, and the most important people that need to know what is going on with you, as otherwise they will not know how to support you ❤

The thing is sometimes how ever much you have people around you, they may not know, nor will they really understand what you are going through. Or sometimes  it can be that, the very ones who should be “Caring and supporting you will get upset themselves and might be not able to help you. At these times see if you can find “A Friend, even an outsider who can Understand” You ❤

To manage panic disorder, you need strategies to regain some control. Techniques that can help you feel calmer include:

  • Relaxation strategies
  • Breathing exercises
  • Mindfulness
  • Meditation

Make Note: This is ***This is Not Professional Counselling*** What I am writing is “Mostly My first hand Knowledge and Experiences, and  also, doing references”. You Need To Talk with A Doctor and Take, “Advice or Help” You need to work on it with all available resources. And do see a Medical Personnel, a Doctor, Counsellor or Therapist ❤

This is to explain what “The Counsellor Does” He or she has to meet you and be Helpful by: Listening to what You have to say. They have to, “Be Able to Be Kind, Understand and Trust” and to be So it has to be that “The Counsellor Matches Your Personality” and Understand You ❤

I hope what I have posted and written has helped You to know what Counselling is and You will feel much better. Also to know exactly how it helps and how to go about, “For Professional Counselling Yourself” Best of Luck ❤

And sometimes things do not work the way you want. “Have Faith and Patience ~ Know that You can Heal gradually. “YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK”  Please Click on this Link to Read This Post in this Blog: You are Stronger than You Think!
