I have pain in my backbone what can I do
May 21, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Bone pain, tenderness, or achiness is a common problem, particularly among those who are middle aged or older. As you age, your body undergoes many changes. Muscle size and bone density generally decrease as you become less active, making you more prone to overuse injury and bone fractures. You can lower your chances of fractures and stress injuries by regularly performing low-impact exercises.
Physical therapy or regular exercise can help you to feel better and increase your strength and stamina, while also increasing your bone mass. Before beginning an exercise regimen for bone pain, check with your doctor. High-impact exercises can aggravate some conditions.
Bone pain can be caused by a wide variety of conditions, including:
-a bone fracture (break)
-overuse or repetitive movement injury
hormone deficiency (usually due to menopause)
-infection
-bone cancer
-metastatic malignancy (cancer that has spread from the point of origin)
-leukemia (cancer of blood cells)
-interruption in the blood supply (as in sickle cell anemia, for example)
TRY to exercise and take over the counter pain killers ,if the problem fade it would be occasional if it still present then check with a doctor for a physical exam and tests.
