BACK PAIN
Six findings from The Low Back, listed where a therapist looks for them
The Low Back set these out for the low back, because the low back is where the commonest complaint in a clinic and the most dangerous one arrive wearing the same clothes. They are not repeated here in full and they are not weakened here. They are listed so that a therapist reading the safety article finds them where they look for them, and each names the article that teaches it.
| The finding | What it may be | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Numbness in the seat or between the legs · new trouble starting, holding or leaking urine or motion · weakness or shooting pain in both legs | The nerve bundle at the base of the spine being crushed | Hospital today. Do not treat |
| Back pain in anyone ever treated for a cancer · pain that wakes from sleep · band-like pain · new weakness or a changed walk | Spread of a cancer to the spine | Same day. No pressure, no loading. Send with a note |
| A fall or a sudden dated onset, in a frail elder, a woman past the menopause, anyone on long-term steroids, anyone who has broken a bone from a trivial knock | A broken vertebra | A picture and a doctor first. No jerks, no body weight |
| Severe unrelenting spinal pain with fever, sweats or shaking · a recent injection into the back · tuberculosis in the house | Infection in the spine | Hospital. No spinal work at all |
| One leg hot, swollen and tender, after surgery, illness, a long journey or a pregnancy | A clot in the deep veins | That limb is not rubbed, not walked on, not mobilised. Send urgently |
| Weight falling off without trying | Anything that needs finding | Investigate before you treat. Never call it progress |
