Is your pain just temporary or is it something more sinister?

Internal problems could be causing your pain

 

Back in the day I used to work in an inner city clinic. We saw a fair number of patients that did not have a primary care physician or who did not see their PCP regularly enough. That meant that we were often their first contact with the healthcare system, and they would come in when their back pain was excruciating, I mean at the point when they couldn’t bear it any more.

It was in this setting that I was able to see firsthand why waiting around with back pain is a bad idea. Some of these patients suffered from complaints ranging from gall bladder problems, pancreatitis and kidney issues to cardiovascular emergencies and even in one case: metastatic prostate cancer!

Delving further into the histories of these patients revealed that there were clues earlier on that would have been detected had they sought treatment earlier. These examples are just a few of what we have seen masquerading as back pain. 

The take home message on this one is: Just to be safe, see your primary care physician for your regular check up. If you find that you do have back pain, do not wait. Go to your healthcare provider. The truth is that your chiropractor, internist or family physician can properly diagnose your back pain and suggest the appropriate treatment.
