Most of the adults have suffered from back
and leg pain at some point of life. Low back pains are caused by
muscular strain leading to lower back pain and leg numbing. Because
muscles have a good blood supply to bring necessary nutriments and
proteins for healing, back pain heals within two to three weeks.
However, if a person suffers from back pain for more than two
months, the causes of lower back pain is often likely to be more
serious. In young adults, a slipped disc is likely to be the pain
generator. Other causes of back muscle pain are lumbar disc herniation,
degenerative disc disease and isthmic spondylolstesis. The cause of back
pain in older people is facet joint osteoporosis/ degenerative
spondylolstesis. For further details read Try
