Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is a common condition that occurs when muscles or tendons in the lower back are injured. It can result from arthritis, disk problems, or structural issues in the spine. The pain can range from mild to severe and may affect daily activities such as walking, sleeping, or working. Most cases improve with rest, physical therapy, or medication, but some people may experience chronic, long-lasting pain.

Symptoms
Lower back pain can vary in how it feels and when it appears. Here are some common symptoms as stated in Cleveland Clinic:
✅Sudden or gradual onset: Pain can start quickly or develop over time.
✅Trigger event: A sharp “pop” may occur after bending or twisting.
✅Unknown cause: Pain may develop without any apparent reason.
✅Sharp or dull pain: It can range from sharp, stabbing pain to a dull ache.
✅Radiating pain: The pain may spread to the buttocks or down the leg (sciatica).
✅Positional pain may feel worse when bending or crouching and improve when lying down.
✅Stiffness: Difficulty moving or straightening the back, especially after sitting.
✅Posture issues: Trouble standing straight, often appearing bent or crooked.
✅Muscle spasms: Involuntary muscle contractions in the lower back.
✅Severe pain: If the pain interferes with daily activities, seeking medical help is essential.
Early recognition and treatment of these symptoms can help manage IBD more effectively and reduce the risk of complications. By staying vigilant and seeking medical advice when symptoms arise, individuals can better address the impact of IBD on their daily lives.
