Back Pain
Whether it’s a muscle ache or sharp tension, back pain can be a symptom of serious health issues. It may indicate a spinal or muscle injury, the onset of kidney stones, infection, inflammation (like arthritis) or even cancer, when a tumor metastasizes to the spine. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases recommends seeing a doctor when you have back pain after a fall or injury, prolonged pain that doesn’t subside, numbness, tingling, or back pain accompanied by other symptoms, such as trouble urinating, numbness in the legs, or unintentional weight loss.
