About 20% of this group belongs to 16 to 34 years age. Back issues can affect nearly every aspect of your everyday activities from sitting to standing to lying down.
Your spine is a complex structure both in form and function, and many interconnected and overlapping parts of the spine are capable of causing back pain. The spine is also extremely prone to injury caused by twisting, sudden jolts, poor posture, etc.
The sudden rise in back pain is mostly because of the working lifestyle, inappropriate posture of sitting & sleeping, lack of exercise, sedentary lifestyle. The close room syndrome leads to vitamin D3 deficiency. Other reasons could belong to two-wheeler driving, excessive smoking leading to early weakness of the bones

Dr. Sharan Basappa Hosmani, Consultant Neuro Surgeon, Malla Reddy Narayana Multispecialty Hospitals, said, “The surgery for the spine is very specific; the majority of the spinal problem can be treated with medicines for an early stage of 4 to 6 weeks.
If pain persists in spite of medical treatment and MRI spine shows acute disc prolapse, then surgery is advised. If there is any indication of weakness in the legs or footdrop or numbness in legs or in the groin area or involvement of urine or motion, urgent surgery is adviced. One should not neglect these symptoms because, earlier the surgery, better the results. The major cause of partial recovery after spinal surgery may be due to the delayed decision making for operations.”
Usually, there can be relief from back pain with adequate rest and home remedies. However, if the pain persists and also causes fever, weight loss, pain down the legs and difficulty in urinating, you should consult a doctor and seek medical help.
