I've always had excellent health and no back problems. Everyone else at work had back pain but not me. Now I've had some unexpected back pain myself. I'm freaked out that I won't get better. Is there any way to tell who will or won't get over it?

Predicting a person's outcome without a crystal ball is never easy. But a recent study of neck and shoulder pain offered the following insights.

  • Patients who have never had back pain before have a better chance of recovery.
  • Patients in good to excellent health are more likely to have a good outcome.
  • Waiting more than a month to get help with back pain is linked with a poorer prognosis.
  • More severe symptoms with numbness and tingling decrease the chances of recovery.

    Psychologic factors are as important in recovery as physical factors. Worrying won't help. In fact, worrying can slow down and even halt your return to normal. A positive attitude goes a long way in a situation like yours.

    I also never had pain, but then it started. Rather than doing anything else, I just tried some Yoga Exercises, and it really helped.

    Any health problem could be

    Any health problem could be worrying but you should not freak out. You should immediately see a doctor and you have to discuss your problem with him. Only your doctor could give you the exact idea about your situation. Most health problems could be avoided if you follow a healthy lifestyle. You need a good diet that is not only protein and calcium rich but is also blended with B vitamins and other nutrients.

    I had no idea that the back

    I had no idea that the back pain can be untreatable. Now that I think about it everything makes sense. You really got me worried, I am not a med student but I read few things about medicine. Some people may say that I am predisposed to back pain since I work in an office. I've also read it in a research paper I found on one of these writing websites here. I should pay some attention on prevention.
