Things can cause back pain

February 19th, 2008

Largely preventable that is what a back injury is, and, if
you catch it early, before it develops into something more problematic, easy to
cure too. The unique thing about back pain is we don’t always know which
particular structure [is injured], like when you rupture an ACL in your knee we
can clearly diagnose that particular ligament and attack that part of the
injury. With lower backs it can be a little more difficult to pinpoint the
tissue that’s causing the problem: ligaments, discs, bone, muscle, tendons —
all those things can cause back pain. Preventive exercises are typically not
exercises people do in a gym.

Antidepressants who also had low back pain

February 1st, 2008

A new review have found out that there is no evidence to
support using the drugs in this kind of way in antidepressants it might be
worthless for treating low back pain as what they suggests. Thus far, up to 23
percent of U.S.
physicians report prescribing antidepressants to patients with low back pain.
Antidepressants are considered second- or third-line agents inthe treatment of low back pain.The clinicians are inclined to try a medication for both the
chronic pain and the depression for a very common depressed with chronic pain.
Five studies reported no differences in pain between patients receiving
antidepressants and those receiving a placebo; on the other hand, two studies
reported less pain in patients receiving antidepressants. Seven studies
reported no differences in depression in patients receiving antidepressants who
also had low back pain compared to patients receiving placebo. Reviews like
this are important for patients so they can learn about what options are
available and which ones are effective. There are so many treatments and it’s
very confusing for patients and clinicians alike.
