The question “will this back pain ever go away” is a common one of those suffering with back pain. In general, most back pain will resolve within a few weeks, but for those where is does not go away quickly this concern is greater.
Did you know that fear and anxiety can prolong and enhance any pain experience not just back pain? The concern and distress that tends to accompany chronic back pain may be more debilitating than the initial issue. Quite often people recognize the pain/stress/anxiety link but just are not sure what to do about it. Unfortunately, this situation tends to lead to inaction. Since a clear and obvious solution is not obvious, the ignore approach is taken. However, as you might have guessed this does not solve anything.
Since those suffering with back pain want to know when their pain will go away, lets talk about some important steps.
1) Know that sore is safe and hurt does not equal harm. Too often people think if something hurts or feels sore that they must AVOID. That is actually the opposite of what should happen. Avoidance leads to loss of strength, flexibility, and conditioning. When added together these three items create an environment where the body is less tolerant of activity. And now a vicious cycle begins from which it can be hard to get out of…one that leads to the very thought that led off this article.
2) Motion is lotion. Movement is healing for the body. So even if something may hurt or be sore, the body must be moved. This does not mean to go run 5 miles, rather just get up and go for a walk. Any movement is good…do it.
3) Professional guidance can help navigate the common obstacles and reset the mindset. If you are like most people, you think “I got this”, “I can do it on my own”. But how is that going? Have you waited long enough? Eventually people ask for help, but too often it is only after weeks or months when the pain has become chronic. This chronic nature leads to a longer process of recovery. It does not mean recovery will not happen, just that it may take longer. This tends to lead to frustration by the individual who is not willing to be patient with the process. As a result, this is why it is important to act quickly. Do not let small aches or pains become large or last long.
