How will you know when back pain is serious? What symptoms associated with back pain should prompt you to see a medical professional?
Sometimes it can be difficult to tell when back pain is serious, but there are some signs you can look out for. Also, medical professionals will look out for these signs when evaluating your back pain. When back pain is serious, is isn’t adequately relieved by relaxation, rest, and medication, and can be debilitating. This can be an indication of a more serious issue requiring medical attention. If pain is accompanied by bowel or bladder problems, or a fever, then it requires the intervention of a medical professional. Back pain following a recent trauma to the back, such as a fall, requires immediate care.
There are some additional symptoms to look out for as well. Sometimes a patient experiences back pain that’s severe and long-term, lasting for more than six weeks. This kind of pain is chronic pain requiring medical attention. Also, if a patient’s pain spreads down the legs and/or causes weakness, numbness, or tingling in the legs, then this requires medical attention too. Or if the pain is accompanied by unexplained weight loss, then it could also be serious.
Patients with back pain and a medical history of a suppressed immune system, cancer, osteoporosis, or chronic steroid use should also see a medical professional. Additionally, patients over 50 years of age with first-time back pain should also see a medical professional, even if the pain is due to a minor trauma. These older patients are more susceptible to fractures and other injuries.
What type of medical professional should I see for back pain?
Many patients with back pain go right to their primary care physician first, but a physician can’t necessarily help with serious back pain, so he or she will likely refer the patient to a specialist. Sometimes the referral will be to see an orthopedic doctor, which is a type of surgeon who specializes in problems with the musculoskeletal system, like a herniated disc. In many other instances, a patient will be referred to a back pain doctor like Dr. Algendy here at Bay State Pain Management.
A back pain doctor specializes in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of acute and chronic back pain, so this doctor is more than capable of helping you with your back pain. And if the doctor believes you would benefit from the services of other specialists too, he or she can create a network of specialists to help you with your pain!
