Symptoms of back pain

Most simple back pain only lasts a few days and gets better on its own. You should see a doctor as soon as possible if, as well as back pain, you have:

2.redness or swelling on your back
3.pain down your legs and below your knees
4.numbness or weakness in one or both legs or around your anus
5.loss of bladder or bowel control

What should I do when I’ve hurt my lower back?

The best position for relief when your back hurts is to lie on your back on the floor with pillows under your knees, with your hips

and knees bent and your feet on a chair or just with your hips and knees bent. This takes the pressure and weight off your back. If

you’re resting a hurt back, you may need a day or two of this sort of rest. Resting longer than this can cause your muscles to

weaken, which can slow down your recovery. Even if it hurts, walk around for a few minutes every few hours.



Tips for preventing back strain

There are few habits which we have to accept in our daily life to avoid back pain

1) standing position

Avoid standing in the same position for a long time.

If possible, adjust the height of the work table to a comfortable level.


2)Sitting position

3)sleeping position

that give the spine an "S" shape.Place a pillow under your knees when sleeping on your back. You may also want to try using a towel

roll to support your lower back.Place a pillow between your knees when sleeping on your side.
