What Is Gall Bladder Back Pain?
However, while back pain is indeed a common condition that happens to four out of five adults, what most people don’t know about it is that it could be a symptom of a far more serious disorder. In fact, most chronic forms of back pain (lasting for more than two months) are actually symptoms of serious diseases, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, scoliosis, cervical spndylosis, spinal cancer, bone cancer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, mittelschmerz, cervix cancer, tuberculosis, meningitis, among others.
Another possible hidden cause of back pain is gall bladder disease.
What is gall bladder disease?
Gall bladder disease is a disorder of the gall bladder, a small pear-shaped organ found on the underside of the liver. The liver is responsible for making bile but the gall bladder is where bile is stored, ready to be released whenever it is needed to help with the digestion of fat.
Gall bladder disease occurs when the bile contains too much cholesterol. The excess cholesterol binds with bile salts and calcium to form crystals or hard stones, known as gall stones. The presence of these gall stones is the cause of some of the more painful symptoms of gall bladder disease, such as gall bladder back pain.
What is gall bladder back pain?
Gall bladder back pain is a condition that occurs when the gall bladder is inflamed due to improper functioning. It is a sure sign of underlying problems within your gall bladder. Gall bladder back pain is one of the common symptoms of gall bladder disease, a disorder that mainly affects women (although it could affect men, as well), and causing symptoms that vary widely from discomfort to severe pain.
How do you know if you have it?
Typically, when a person experiences gall bladder back pain, it starts in the mid back before radiating around to the front. Sometimes, gall bladder back pain can be so severe that the person affected may find it hard to walk or even stand. In some instances, gall bladder back pain may even cause difficulty in breathing because of the excruciating pain.
Treatment
Gall bladder back pain is not susceptible to normal back pain treatments. Because the cause is not some injury or trauma or stress to the muscles or the spinal column, the treatment options available for normal back pains will provide only little, temporary relief – if at all.
Treating gall bladder back pain will have to be done in conjunction with identifying the real cause – that is, identifying what disorder to the gall bladder the person is unknowingly suffering from. Only by treating the underlying cause will it be possible to treat gall bladder back pain and prevent the person from suffering further.

Axial Back Pain
Lower back pain may be a result of muscle or nerve irritation or bone lesions. It is caused due to an injury or trauma to the back. In fact, there are number of causes behind lower back pain. The severity of the pain depends upon the type of low back pain. Axial back pain is one of the types of lower back pain.
Axial lower back pain could be mild or severe, dull or sharp which can be felt constantly or intermittently. Axial pain is usually mechanical and is characterized by the pain that gets worse with certain activities like sports, pain that gets worse with certain positions like sitting for long periods, pain that is relieved by rest. The area covered by this pain is the low back area. This pain does not travel or radiate in to other parts of the body.
Diagnosis of axial back pain
The diagnosis is important as it determines the real cause behind back pain. Various structures in the low back can cause axial lower back pain like degenerated disc, facet joint problems, damage to soft tissues, ligaments, muscles and tendons but it is really difficult to determine which anatomical structure is the ultimate cause behind the back pain. The simple rule should be that if the back pain is troubling you by waking you up from deep sleep then you should consult the physician in order to avoid any serious complications like tumor, infection or fracture. Normally patients with axial pain get cured within six weeks but if not then additional testing or injections are used in diagnosing and treating the source of pain.
Treatment of axial low back pain
Various treatment options are available for treating axial back pain. The conservative or non-surgical treatment includes the following:
1) Rest for a short period, generally for one or two days.
2) Physical therapy and active exercise and stretching.
3) Heat or ice application for activity related pain relief.
4) Various useful and appropriate medications for back pain relief.
Mainly, these treatments are recommended for axial low back pain avoiding other surgical treatments and alternative methods because of their ineffectiveness in curing the pain.

Back And Leg Pain
Chronic back and leg pain may be a symptom of a more serious condition. It is advised that you visit the doctor if you suffer from back pain that lasts longer than the normal two weeks to two months.
Here are some of the more common causes of back and leg pain:
Lumbar Spine Stenosis
This is a degenerative disease of the lumbosacral spine, affecting up to 90 percent of the U.S. population, most of them belonging to the middle aged or elderly age group. The disease is a major cause of morbidity, disability and lost productivity.
In lumbar stenosis, the cauda equina roots, a type of nerve found inside the spine, are entrapped within the dural sac, causing excruciating and incapacitating back and leg pain. This entrapment of the cauda equina roots is a result of progressive hypertrophy of any of the osseocartilaginous and ligamentous elements, soft tissues that surround the spinal canal.
Additionally, the degenerative changes or trauma could rupture or heniate the intervertebral disc, which is composed of a gelatinous, centrally located nucleus pulposes and a peripherally located annulus fibrosus.
Lumbar stenosis mostly affects men and the middle aged to the elderly, although it could also occur in women and younger patients. Back and leg pain is the earliest complaint of this condition, which is often treated with some of the self-care methods available. This results in delay in diagnosis.
Sciatica
Sciatica is a condition affecting the sciatic nerve. Since this nerve travels from the lower back through the buttocks and into the leg, the pain often occurs in any of these affected areas. Back and leg pain as a result of sciatica can be more or less severe and is caused by a herniated lumbar disc.
The degeneration (herniation) of the disc causes it to compress onto one of the contributing roots of the sciatic nerve, causing sharp back and leg pains to shoot up. Often, the pain in the leg, posterior thigh, or foot can be much worse than the accompanying lower back pain. At the onset, the patient usually experiences severe pain in the buttocks which runs all the way down through the legs or foot. In some cases, there is even no accompanying back pain.
