What is Back Pain? Back pain is pain felt in the
back that usually originates from the muscles,
nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the
spine.

What are the signs and symptoms of back pain?
A symptom is something the patient feels and
reports, while a sign is something other people,
such as the doctor detect. For example, pain may
be a symptom while a rash may be a sign. The
main symptom of back pain is, as the name
suggests, an ache or pain anywhere on the back,
and sometimes all the way down to the buttocks
and legs. In most cases signs and symptoms clear
up on their own within a short period.
