Why our backs ache, Every Wake Up?

back pain

Lots of complaints of back pain experienced by patients, and the complaint was the pain or become heavy when awake from sleep.

Do you also feel the same? The most frequent complaints are usually felt by old age, but there are also teenagers who complain about it.

Actually, the pain in your back are mostly caused by muscle pain. and other causes are, his own spine, nerves, or an infection and many others.

So, back it consists of the spine or spinal column and back muscles which also serves to move the spine. While the backbone itself has the function to hold the body in an upright position so that, in addition to bone is also to refute the chest cavity and protects the nerves that are around him.

Heads and bodies, have reached 50% by weight of total body weight and muscle is all backed up earlier. So for example we're doing the activity that elevates the head and body with a rather long time for example 2 hours, for example, if we sit without leaning over 3 hours, then this will cause the muscles to work extra hard and will eventually lead to muscle pain.

In addition to the above there are several causes of muscular back pain are:

1. Spine deformities such as a crooked spine, such as scoliosis, lordosis or kyposis, it usually comes from a genetic disorder.
2. Causes of back pain is caused by the individual himself is overweight, so the burden of the backbone to withstand the weight loss becomes.
3. Lifting heavy objects repeatedly and unnecessarily, as it should be noted that the backbone of how to stay safe.

Later in the elderly is also worth noting that there are processes of aging / degenerative in all organs, including bone and muscle back earlier. Usually in the elderly for many cases of back pain due to decreased function of the spine pads or intervertebral Discus (see figure next to degenerative disc).

Normally, this disc serves to reduce the load or to cushion the spine, but in older people will experience a decline in function due to reduced ability to absorb water last disc.

Finally, the discussion was going to thin out and will stand out from the spine so that the load will pinch the nerves that are around (see the next picture Herniated Disc), it is a lot of the cause of back pain in older people.


Other causes of back pain that is caused by, a bed that is used is too soft or too hard, which will make the change of the backbone and muscle balance will also be disrupted.

How short-term solution?
Should be the elderly should increase sports. Due to this sport will be able to increase endurance, and avoid the possibility of degenerative diseases.

Not all of sports is suitable for the elderly, exercise that is suitable for the elderly is the high road, with a speed adapted to the abilities. If the sports is run regularly, it will make the back muscles become stronger, and will make a stable back. then the other sports that are suitable gym especially involving the movement of many muscles of the back.

Whereas, for the young of complaints such as this caused a lot more because of back muscles. so, the solution by extending the sports if the complaint has not subsided, you should immediately see a doctor, because the complaint could not come from the back but came from elsewhere.

Why Ear & Head feels pain, When we are in the plane.

in the plane

When we are traveling by planes, would have imagined how it felt when it was in the space. Well, what if the plane when we actually feel uncomfortable? because our ears and head hurt.

Is this situation normal? This situation is called Eusthacian tube, or the eustachian tract obstruction in the ear. Eusthacian tube is a channel that starts from the middle ear and ends behind the base of the nose or throat area. This channel serves to balance the air pressure in the middle ear and outside air pressure. When the pressure difference then this channel will open and let air into the middle ear so that the pressure to be balanced.

When the the pressure difference? when the plane was about to take off or landing or when the plane up and down in the air, our ears will feel like a full or a dead end or a little less heard of, is caused by pressure difference as before. Usually we will immediately respond to swallow that our hearing became normal again. By swallowing this will cause the tube opened and outside air can enter the middle ear.

In some people with disorders of the Eusthacian tube or longer in people who have the flu, will be difficult to balance the pressure (at the time of the aircraft in the air) so that no air can enter the middle ear and middle ear resulted in a vacuum, in these circumstances the fallopian tubes was going to respond by reducing the middle ear space and surrounding tissue in order to attract a bit of pressure balance, and this response that causes incredible pain as the head of the terrace pain.
