For what reasons can the back hurt on the left side? Could left back pain be a consequence of a sedentary lifestyle? Could this be a symptom of serious diseases? Should I discuss this symptom with my doctor? The question is answered by the drug. Anna Mitschke.
For what reasons can the back hurt on the left side?
Good day. I have had a problem with specific back pain for some time. I am a man in my 40s, so I realize that they can appear, but for the last two months or so they have practically not disappeared. I mean Fr. back pain from the left side. I lead a rather sedentary lifestyle, I am a clerk, I work eight hours a day behind a desk. Unfortunately, I have little exercise, I usually go home, watch TV, etc. I try not to eat very unhealthy, my wife cooks at home.
I don’t do any sports, I even intended to try running or cycling a few times, but so far I haven’t been able to do it. I am slightly overweight, albeit not very much. Therefore, I would like to ask what is the cause of the back pain on the left side? Could this be due to desk work and a sedentary lifestyle, or is there a risk that it is a more serious disease and I should see a doctor with it? I wonder if more exercise and physical activity would help me. I would be grateful for your advice.
The doctor indicates possible causes of back pain on the left side
Back pain is a very common condition that affects patients. It can result from an injury, bad body posture, but also from many medical conditions. Lack of exercise, a sedentary lifestyle, slouching at a desk, and being overweight can lead to back pain. That is why it is so important to have a healthy, balanced diet, appropriate physical activity and correct body posture. In the event of back pain, it is worth going to the GP for advice.

After collecting the interview and examining the patient, the doctor may order any additional tests, e.g. imaging, and, if necessary, refer them to an orthopedic or neurology specialist. It may be helpful to visit a physiotherapist who will show you and teach you exercises to prevent back pain in the future. Most back pain is treated conservatively, and surgery is rarely needed. For the physician, there will be important information such as the intensity of the pain, where it occurs, whether the pain is radiating and its duration, and whether we associate it with a specific event.
It is very important whether it interferes with our daily activities. Acute back pain may be caused by an injury, e.g. when suddenly lifting a heavy object. Poor body posture maintained for a long time, associated with a lack of exercise, can strain the muscles and ligaments of the spine and cause pain. With age, the risk of osteoarthritis of the spine increases, which can damage the joints. It is characterized by the intensification of discomfort during exercise. Chronic low back pain combined with pain radiation to the buttock, lower limb may indicate degeneration of the intervertebral disc.
Therapeutic massage may be helpful in the treatment of back pain. Make an appointment at Arkmedic private medical facilities. Massage will relieve pain, stimulate circulation and strengthen muscles.
This degeneration causes a reduction in the height of the intervertebral disc and, as a result, an abnormal load on the articular surfaces of the spine and the load on adjacent muscles and ligaments. The nucleus pulposus, which is part of the intervertebral disc, may fall out, commonly referred to as “disc prolapse” and compress the intervertebral root, causing sciatica, i.e. pain in the lower limb and the sacral spine. The serious causes of back pain include spinal infections, fractures, tumors, osteoporosis, and aortic dissection aneurysm.
