What causes back pain and general weakness?

If you have symptoms of lower back pain and general weakness, you should consider whether you have lumbar muscle strain. We know that lumbar muscle strain is a relatively common chronic disease. It is best to go to the hospital for a CT scan. You can take Wantong Muscle and Bone Tablets under the guidance of a doctor, which has a good therapeutic effect. You should also pay attention to rest and avoid sitting for long periods of time and standing for too long.

What causes back pain and general weakness?

For lumbar muscle strain, general bed rest, massage, physical therapy, hot compress, external application, and medication can relieve pain symptoms in the short term, but they only provide "comfort" and not "cure the root cause" because they cannot eliminate its two causes - aging (the body's intervertebral discs and ligaments begin to age after the age of 20) and fatigue (desk work and housework). At the same time, so-called minimally invasive surgery and open surgery cannot achieve "rejuvenation" or "delay aging", but can only relieve symptoms. Therefore, lumbar muscle strain "does not require treatment" and is "untreatable". The fundamental measure to prevent and treat lumbar muscle strain is to rely on ourselves to do three things in daily life - pay attention to posture, exercise regularly, and exercise muscles.

1. Pay attention to your posture:

Sit upright, which is called "sitting like a bell". Good sofas and chairs can ensure the lordosis of the lumbar spine. The worst sitting posture is leaning forward about 70°. The lumbar spine is loaded 1.0 times when lying flat, 1.5 times when standing, and 2.5 times when leaning forward about 70° (see figure). When lying in bed, avoid using a high pillow or curling up to watch TV or read a book - because this will still cause you to bend over, and your lumbar spine will not get a real rest, but only your limbs will rest.

2. Regular exercise:

Move your lumbar spine after sitting quietly for 30 minutes, and get up and walk around after 60 minutes - this is the same principle as the 10-minute break between classes.

3. Muscle training:

The best fun exercise is breaststroke, which should be done twice a week, 600 to 800 meters each time. When you come out of the water to breathe, keep your head up and back straight, which can effectively exercise the waist and back muscles without any weight. The most economical method is "Little Swallow Flying": Lie on your stomach on the bed, use your abdomen as a fulcrum, squeeze your arms and stretch them back as far as you can, keep your legs together, stretch your legs and toes slightly upward, and lift your head and neck slightly (just leave the bed); hold for 5 seconds, relax for 5 seconds, and do 60 times a day (divided into 2 to 3 times).
