Additionally, upper back may develop lesser disorders and like herniated spinal disks, degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis. Upper back pain may be the resultant of poor posture or extreme trauma.

Women who are naturally prone to back pains and are at greater risks to developing back pain during pregnancy and may show some sings in the earliest stages. For pregnant women, they may experience either one of the two types of back pain or a combination of both: lumbar pain (lower back pain) and posterior pelvic pain. 

Beyond the pain, gastrointestinal distresses may arise as side effects to anti-inflammatory drugs. Mental dullness may also be felt since some pain medications and relievers may induce the brain to function inefficiently. The person may be distracted with the frequent concentration difficulties and memory lapses. 

The majority of cases of back pain documented occur to people aged 55 and above and nearly all of them show signs of being with good health. So this means that the cause of back pain is not or may be minimally affected by the health of the sufferer. This pain is often felt in the lower section of the spine and cases of upper and middle back pain is rare.

We could have given treatment on this but what if it really was not originally a lower back pain. What if it rooted from the kidneys?

For the majority of sufferers, the agonizing pain may be helped with simple homeophatic therapies and by application of pain reliever creams and medications.
