Back pain in Kozhikode: when to seek an assessment

Back pain is common and often improves with time and gradual activity. Even so, it is sensible to speak to a clinician if pain is severe, keeps returning or limits your daily routine.

Seek prompt medical attention if

• Back pain follows a significant injury
• There is new weakness, numbness or tingling in the legs
• You have difficulty controlling the bladder or bowel
• Pain comes with fever or unexplained weight loss

What an assessment involves

A clinician asks how the pain started, what aggravates and eases it and how it affects work and sleep, then examines how you move. The aim is to agree a plan, which may include guided exercise, activity advice and, when needed, further tests.
