What are the symptoms of back pain?
Whether you’ve pulled a muscle, pinched a nerve, or sustained an injury, back pain can stop you in your tracks. Symptoms of back pain are:
- Dull ache
- Stabbing sensation
- Shooting pain
- Difficulty standing or moving
- Leg weakness
- Tingling or numbness
If your back pain is accompanied by loss of bladder or bowel control, sudden weight loss, fever, or abdominal pain, it may be a medical emergency and require immediate care.
What causes back pain?
For a majority of people, back pain is due to strain or structural problems that affect your discs and vertebrae. Typical causes of back pain are:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Osteoarthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Scoliosis
- Fracture
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Muscle strain
- Pinched nerve

Other far less common causes of back pain are spinal stenosis, which causes your spinal canal to narrow; infection of the spine; tumor on or cancer in the spine; and degenerative spondylolisthesis.
