COMMON SYMPTOMS

Signs you may be experiencing Back pain

1

Dull, Constant Lower Back Ache

A persistent ache in the lumbar region that lingers throughout the day, often worsening when sitting or standing still.

2

Sharp, Sudden Pain When Bending or Lifting

Acute jolts of pain triggered by twisting, reaching, bending down, or carrying heavy objects.

3

Spinal Stiffness & Reduced Flexibility

Difficulty standing up straight after sitting, or experiencing tightness in the spine upon waking up in the morning.

4

Muscle Spasms & Tightness

Involuntary contractions or hard, painful knots in the muscles surrounding the spine and hips.

5

Pain Radiating into the Buttocks or Thighs

Discomfort or tension that spreads downwards into the glutes or upper leg areas during movement.

6

Postural Fatigue & Discomfort

Feeling unable to maintain an upright posture for long periods without experiencing back strain or exhaustion.

When to seek urgent care: If your back pain is accompanied by loss of bowel or bladder control, numbness in the groin area (saddle anaesthesia), severe leg weakness, fever, or follows a major injury/trauma, please seek immediate emergency care via your GP, NHS 111, or A&E (999).
