Lower back ache and Joint pains
Low Back Pain
Low back pain usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine. It is a common complaint. Nowadays most people suffer low back pain at least once. Back pain is one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor or miss work.

Back pain may have a sudden onset or can be a chronic pain; it can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other areas. . The pain may radiate into the legs or feet, and may include symptoms other than pain. These symptoms may include tingling, weakness or numbness.
Acute low back pain normally lasts from a few days or few weeks.

Symptoms may range from muscle ache to shooting or stabbing pain, limited flexibility and/or range of motion, or an inability to stand straight. Sometimes acute pain can become serious if left untreated.
