« Back

Other than pain in my back, what are some of the symptoms for a back injury and is there anything that would tell me I should be worried?

As you say, there may be pain, but the pain can vary depending on what is causing the pain. The pain could be across your back, down one side into the leg, constant or every once in a while. Back injuries can also cause numbness in one or both legs, or a tingling sensation. Some back injuries can also cause loss of control of the bowel or bladder, or both.

If you have having pain that is keeping you from participating in your daily activities, or it is keeping your from sleeping, or you have any of the signs such as loss of control of your bladder, you should see your doctor as soon as possible. A more severe back injury could cause more damage so treatment should be started as soon as possible.
