Now I don't want to scare you all on such a lovely day (well, it is here anyway), but a very interesting article on the Mail Online website by Louise Atkinson certainly made me think.
It's not particularly new knowledge but body organs such as the kidneys and bladder, quite often refer their pain to the back when they are having problems .
This pain is naturally enough by many sufferers regarded as just that, back pain pure and simple. When in fact the underlying cause could be something more serious such as pancreatitis, kidney stones, or even cancer.
Now of course we are not all going to rush off to get tested when we get a back twinge, as the majority of back problems are indeed back related. However it may not hurt to bear this in mind if your back pain changes, or seems to move area.
This article is well worth a read as it lists back pain by certain areas which may relate to other areas which could be worth getting looked at. You can check out the full article at this link.
