Your back aches usually from a spasm of the muscles, which supports spine. Backache is a very common problem amongst both men & women. There are many factors responsible for causing a backache.
Some common reasons are:
Muscle strain; poor posture; fractures; viral infection; women suffering gynecological problems; infection of kidney or bladder; too much pressure on a nerve root; tumors; osteoporosis; bacterial infection; arthritis and stress or trauma.
The doctor will diagnose the reasons for your backache after performing several tests on you. A blood test is required. Plus X-ray of spine, CT scan or MRI can also be required depending upon the seriousness of the issue.
It’s one of the most threatening problems a person can have and can become chronic if left unattended. Since it affects your mobility, which is a basic requirement of anybody’s survival, it can jeopardize your life in a big way.
To prevent backache you should take some precautions like; Do not use your back to lift babies, heavy boxes or cartons etc. Avoid putting any pressure on your back. Use muscles of your arms and legs instead.
Nutritional supplements that may help reduce backache include Trypsine and Chymostrypsin, DPA (D Phenylaline) Is believed to relieve pain by decreasing the enzymes that break down endorphins. Proteolytic enzymes may help in reducing inflammation and swelling.
Vitamin B1, B6, B12 may prevent recurrences of common back ache. Herbs that have medicinal properties and can help reduce or prevent back ache are Willow Bark, Devil’s Claw, Ginger, turmeric, Eucalyptus etc.

Hi. My back ache’s during the night and in the morning, its around my lower
back do you have any ideas why?
Hey? I have the same problem and mine is due to the chair used in my office look for comfortable chaires while working to avoid back aching problems
Are you over-weight? My sister-in-law had this problem and when she consulted the physician he advised her to lose weight. If you are not overweight, check out if it’s because of the wrong chairi you are using in the office, especially while working on the computer. There could be so many reasons behind back ache like, Unaccustomed strain on the back, pregnancy, strained ligament etc. It would be very difficult for me pin point the exact reason for your backache. At the same time I’d also like to suggest, that do not take backache lightly. It affects in the long run.
Please do not take painkillers for temporary relief. Please see a doctor.
back ache may also be due to some gynaecological problems…..may be some kind of infections like chlamidia infection etc..it may also be because of pregnancy and also muscle spasm….may be also due to disc problems..
better to see the doctor immediately..
I am 42 , have been suffering form back ach sine a week . I really dont know the reason what i Know is i had taken mosigar syrup .I also sitt infront of my pc . I feel it right side near my hipps up my right hipps . dont know what to do ple tell me any body
My name is Lucy, I find the back ache comes when the quality of my sleep is not good.
It is very debilitating and really affects all areas of my life.
If I have back ache I am just not happy, in pain and discomfort, so I crave
a descent night’s sleep! Absolutley sure it is muscular because the ache
goes away when the sleep is good but then returns the following day.
My back aches for three-four days once every 2-5 weeks. It’s very odd. Just randomly; it will begin to ache. Any suggestions? My posture is rather horrible; but I’m not overweight, I eat healthily and I do lots of sports. It becomes quite serious and it only stops aching when I lay flat on the floor (hard to do in the middle of school). Any suggestions?
im 14 and i sometimes get back ache ihave no idea why but it really hurts, if anyone nos what the cause could be please let me know thanks
I have the same thing as Rebecca… Im 14 and randomly get these throbbing back aches as if gas just released in my back, it soon goes away a couple hours later but its a pain in the…back
I would love if anyone had some thoughts. I have terrible posture and the same am lizze, but not overwieght and do swim team, fencing etc…
my back is aching too, like Rebecca’s. and I’m only 13. I have a bad posture and whenever I stand, I need something to lean on because of my back. I went to the Hospital last Tuesday and then the Doctor said I need to have a proper posture or else, this might lead to some serious thing.
Hi I’m 13 and have been hurting for 3 years now. Non stop. I’m not joking. Do you have any suggestions?
hey,
I am 24 years old, and i have back aches usually my lower back. I have seen a doctor and he said there was nothing to worry about, probably my posture since i type a lot on very uncomfortable chairs. I do a lot of dance and also have done Pilates and yoga as my doctor said it relieves back aches. However, the pain is still there… what do i do… sometimes it’s unbearable especially when i have my periods. Please provide suggestions. Thank you.
I also have the same problem as Rebecca, except I’m 15. This has happened only twice but it still hurts. My lower back hurts whenever I move and then it goes away after a day. The only time it doesnt hurt is when I sit up straight. So I think it has to do a lot with having good posture, but I really have no idea.
