Neurologist Pavel Brand spoke in a conversation with KP.RU about signs that may indicate serious health problems, especially if back pain makes itself felt at night or becomes more intense when lying down.
The doctor recommends being vigilant if pain occurs for no apparent reason in people over 55 years of age, in children and in those suffering from chronic diseases.
In many cases, back pain is associated with the condition of the muscles, tendons and joints, but sometimes they can be a symptom of dangerous diseases.
According to the specialist, you can understand how serious the pain is by analyzing its nature. Particular concern should be raised in cases where discomfort intensifies at night, in a horizontal position, or is accompanied by elevated temperature. The neurologist also emphasizes the importance of contacting a specialist if pain occurs spontaneously, without previous injury.
Brand emphasized the need to pay close attention to back pain in minors and people over 55 years of age. Patients with chronic diseases, including those who are facing cancer, require a special approach if they are bothered by unusual back pain.
