Sometimes, it is quite difficult to understand whether the pain in
your back is due to leg pain or due to back pain! Human body is such an
integrated mechanism that most of the times it is not an easy task to estimate
what is wrong with it.
If it is a direct injury from an accident or fall, you still know
the underlying cause and suffering involved with the pain. But injuries like
back pain or leg pain, occurring due to your accumulated sins of negligence is
really hard to cure.
You may argue that the nature of your office work is such that you
cannot avoid the condition. Usually people who are required to stand in one position
for several hours or the ones who are regularly working on the computer systems
complain of stiffness and pain in the back. These activities may lead to such
habits formation, that normal movements of the neck can result in too much pain
and curbed movement.
Know one important point regarding your back pain. Wherever blood
flow is affected in your body, something is sure to be wrong. Restriction of
blood flow means reduction in delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscle.
When blood supply is less, the removal of metabolic wastes also gets hampered.
Under such circumstances, your attempt to lengthen the muscle and
get the normal range of motion will lead to increased spasm and pain. Your leg
pain thus may be the result of this phenomenon. If it is coupled with back pain
your troubles are all the more. In that part of your body muscle is already
weak, and is prone to injury. Sudden movements, jerks, loads and stretching are
not without danger of fall.
Back and leg pain, unless it is due to accident, is not an
overnight development. Your body is such a mechanism that it constantly tries
its best and uses all corrective measures before giving up. You experience
symptoms. You get many clues. You get many types of warnings. Over a period of
time, muscular aches and muscle fatigue worsen in the morning due to the
overnight build up of toxins in the affected part.
If you ignore the pain at this stage, you will suffer and the
situation will worsen. Design a good exercise schedule for you and follow it up
regularly. Yoga and breathing exercises will do you a lot of good.
Think of the lifestyle changes. Try to identify the weak points in
your day’s schedule. Instead of working, to a pattern, try variety. Never skip
the exercise schedule. Think positively and avoid stress. You have to evolve
yourself a disciplined personality. Medication of any kind is not going to
solve your problem permanently.
