Aches and Pains You Should Never Ignore

Combined Abdominal And Back Pain

Sometimes abdominal discomfort is normal, such as when you eat a little too much at dinner or something doesn't agree with you, or if you have recently been hit in the stomach. Additionally, back pain can occasionally have a simple explanation, such as sleeping wrong. As discussed, sometimes both of these pains can indicate serious conditions, btu what is also crucial to note is abdominal and back pain occurring together is also a serious cause for concern. Specifically, this can indicate problems with the kidneys, such as an infection or even kidney stones, particularly if vomiting accompanies the latter. While individuals can occasionally pass kidney stones on their own, sometimes the pain is still too great to handle without medication, and in other cases surgical intervention is necessary.

Joint Pain

Sometimes with a workout or injury, joints can become sore. However, these are often easily fixed, and in many cases simply need rest and time before the pain disappears. But sometimes joint pain can indicate more serious medical conditions, such as arthritis. Joint pain accompanied by redness and swelling, for instance, shouldn't be taken lightly. Persistent joint pain, as well as pain that occurs at night, should also merit a close eye. In more severe cases, lupus or hepatitis may be the cause. This is especially true if your joint pain is accompanied by some other symptoms, such as a fever, fatigue, vomiting, or dark urine. Not treating serious instances of pain can not just prolong pain unnecessarily, but also make the pain worse, and run the risk of an individual dealing with chronic pain as a result. If you ignore your symptoms, you will miss out on a variety of pain management solutions.
