Sometimes, it is quite difficult to
understand whether the pain in your back is due to leg pain or due to
back pain! Human body is such an integrated mechanism that most of the
times it is not an easy task to estimate what is wrong with it.
If it is a direct injury from an accident or fall, you still know
the underlying cause and suffering involved with the pain. But injuries
like back pain or leg pain, occurring due to your accumulated sins of
negligence is really hard to cure.
You may argue that the nature
of your office work is such that you cannot avoid the condition. Usually
people who are required to stand in one position for several hours or
the ones who are regularly working on the computer systems complain of
stiffness and pain in the back. These activities may lead to such habits
formation, that normal movements of the neck can result in too much pain
and curbed movement.
Know one important point regarding your back
pain. Wherever blood flow is affected in your body, something is sure to
be wrong. Restriction of blood flow means reduction in delivery of
oxygen and nutrients to the muscle. When blood supply is less, the
removal of metabolic wastes also gets hampered.
Under such
circumstances, your attempt to lengthen the muscle and get the normal
range of motion will lead to increased spasm and pain. Your leg pain
thus may be the result of this phenomenon. If it is coupled with back
pain your troubles are all the more. In that part of your body muscle is
already weak, and is prone to injury. Sudden movements, jerks, loads and
stretching are not without danger of fall.
Back and leg pain,
unless it is due to accident, is not an overnight development. Your body
is such a mechanism that it constantly tries its best and uses all
corrective measures before giving up. You experience symptoms. You get
many clues. You get many types of warnings. Over a period of time,
muscular aches and muscle fatigue worsen in the morning due to the
overnight build up of toxins in the affected part.
If you ignore
the pain at this stage, you will suffer and the situation will worsen.
Design a good exercise schedule for you and follow it up regularly. Yoga
and breathing exercises will do you a lot of good.
Think of the
lifestyle changes. Try to identify the weak points in your day’s
schedule. Instead of working, to a pattern, try variety. Never skip the
exercise schedule. Think positively and avoid stress. You have to evolve
yourself a disciplined personality. Medication of any kind is not going
to solve your problem permanently.
