Low back pain and cancer

While waiting for a bus today, another bus was going in the opposite direction towards the doctors. I noticed on the back of the bus there was a sign and it was to do with cancer and back pain. Alarm bells went off because a lady that I once knew passed over due to cancer of the back. That is the second time that I have seen that poster go by.

So what information do we have to share with you?

'The Bark and the Bite of Low Back Pain'. The link explains it simply and very well, helping you to be aware of the symptoms to be aware of.  Although cancer is rare with back pain, it is very important to have it checked thoroughly and to listen to your body and what is going on with your body. How many different symptoms do you have? Is it advisable to ask your doctor for a scan? Better to be safe than sorry!

I would like to add this to the links above. In my experience of cancerous cells in a woman, and lung cancer in a man, prior to diagnosis there was experience of an unusual amount of 'mood change' and some 'outbursts of volatility.' It was like the symptoms were being ignored, so the soul of the body was trying to let the person know in a different way. Has your behavior and or functionality changed? In what way has it changed? To what degree has it changed? What other symptoms do you have? Symptoms that could be related to the back pain. Are the symptoms increasing? Is your tiredness increasing? What is going on in your body? Do you know? Do the doctors? How long have you had the pain and is the condition improving? Or have you had the back pain for many years?

Lower back pain is linked with support, and many people who suffer with the condition find that the medical profession do not provide the appropriate treatments at the right time. As such, the people feel unsupported in doing their utmost to resolve the health issue. Some back issues can also begin due to childbirth, and they can manifest much later in life.

Seriously get it checked out!
