Overall, the outcome for acute low back pain is positive. Pain and disability usually improve a great deal in the first six weeks, with complete recovery reported by 40 to 90%.[2] In those who still have symptoms after six weeks, improvement is generally slower with only small gains up to one year. At one year, pain and disability levels are low to minimal in most people. Distress, previous low back pain, and job satisfaction are predictors of long-term outcome after an episode of acute pain.[2] Certain psychological problems such as depression, or unhappiness due to loss of employment may prolong the episode of low back pain.[13] Following a first episode of back pain, recurrences occur in more than half of people.[23]
Some of these red flags are much less red than others, especially depending on the circumstances. For instance, "weight loss" is common and often the sign of successful diet! (Well, at least temporarily successful, anyway. 😃) Obviously, if you know of a harmless reason why you have a red flag symptom, it isn't really a red flag (duh!). But every single actual red flag — in combination with severe low back pain that's been going on for several weeks — is definitely a good reason to get yourself checked out.
Most Australian adults will experience low back pain at some time in their lives. Most low back pain gets better without the need to see a doctor, and gentle activity, not bed rest, seems usually to be the best treatment. Low back pain (lumbar pain) can be caused by a problem in the muscles, ligaments, discs, joints or nerves of the spine.Some back pain is due to serious problems, but most back problems are 'mechanical' in nature and can be prevented by looking after your back and keeping it in good shape.SymptomsThe symptoms of low back pain may include:Dull ache in the lower back;Stiffness of the lower back;Tingling or numbness of the leg(s);Tingling or pain in a buttock;Pain in the hip;Muscle spasms or seizing up of the back muscles;Sharp pain;Difficulty walking or standing up straight;Weakness of the leg or foot.Sometimes back pain is more on one side of the spine than the other.When to seek immediate medical help for back painRarely, back pain may be a sign of something serious. There are some signs and symptoms that may accompany the back pain or features of the pain that mean you should seek medical help immediately. These include:New bowel or bladder problems, such as not being able to urinate or incontinence.Numbness over the buttocks, especially in a pattern like a saddle.Fever or chills.A recent fall or injury to the back.Back pain that is worse when you are resting, lying down or in bed at night.Throbbing in the abdomen.Weakness in a leg, which might show itself as dragging a foot or one leg.Unexplained weight loss.Also, if you are over 50 or under 16 and have back pain you should see your doctor. Similarly, if you have ever had cancer or suffer from osteoporosis, or the back pain is accompanied by unexplained weight loss, you should seek medical advice.Diagnosis and tests for low back painTo help diagnose the cause of your back pain or rule out any serious problems, your doctor may ask questions about the pain, such as:Did the back pain come on suddenly, does it come and go, or has it gradually worsened over time?Is your back sore to the touch?Is your back pain affected by your position, e.g. is it worse or better when you stand or sit, or bend over or lie down?Was it brought on by exercise or activity that you are unaccustomed to?Do you have any pain in your feet or legs?Is there any tingling in your legs or feet?Is the back pain accompanied by any swelling?Is the pain worse during the night?Are you having any problems going to the toilet?Your doctor will examine your back and may wish to feel and locate any areas of sensitivity and pain. They may ask you to perform movements so they can see your range of motion. They may also test the nerves.These examinations will not usually reveal the exact cause of the back pain, but they help your doctor to rule out any serious problems or problems needing immediate attention. In many cases, knowing the exact cause of the pain does not change the recommendations for treatment. Most non-specific back pain or uncomplicated back pain does not need a precise diagnosis of the anatomical problems that are causing it before treatment is started.X-rays or other radiological imaging tests are not usually recommended initially for low back pain as the findings do not necessarily correspond with the severity of symptoms. For example, many adults have signs of damage (such as to discs or facet joints) on X-ray, but have no symptoms of back pain. And conversely, many people with low back pain will have no obvious signs of damage on X-rays.If the back pain has been ongoing, or your doctor suspects a fracture or specific cause, they may suggest you have some imaging tests. Sometimes, your doctor may wish to order blood tests to rule out or confirm causes such as infection, inflammation or cancer.Imaging tests used in low back painIf your doctor suspects a specific cause of the back pain then they may refer you for imaging tests such as X-ray of the lumbar spine (although plain X-rays are rarely useful), or an MRI scan. MRI scans can show the spinal discs and the nerve roots and the soft tissues. MRIs are probably the most useful imaging technique for low back pain as they can show problems with the discs and whether anything is pressing on the nerves of the spinal cord. Sometimes a CT scan will be suggested, if an MRI is not available.Ultrasound may be used if kidney stones are suspected as the cause of the pain.Nerve conduction studies called electromyography may be suggested, however the results often don't reflect the symptoms, so this test may not give any useful information.Should I see a specialist for low back pain?Depending on the results of tests, your doctor may refer you to a specialist, however, 99 per cent of low back pain that GPs see is not serious. Specialists that treat low back pain include pain specialists, neurosurgeons, rheumatologists and orthopaedic surgeons.In addition to doctors, many people find consulting with a physiotherapist or osteopath may help. Osteopaths and physiotherapists may help with diagnosis of some back problems, mobility, exercises, stretching and advice.Osteopaths and physiotherapists don't require you to have a referral from your GP. Their services are only rebated on Medicare as part of a specific chronic disease plan, but may be covered by private health insurance extras cover.Causes of low back painMost backaches are due to problems with the muscles, ligaments and joints. More serious problems occur when the nerves or spinal cord are injured, usually by local pressure.Back muscle strainsLow back pain can be due to a pulled or torn muscle in the lumbar region. There are many muscles involved in the lower back, which help support the spine and the upper body. These include extensor muscles (such as the erector spinae), the oblique muscles and the flexors (such as the psoas).When any of these muscles are stretched or torn (strained), there are micro-tears in the muscle fibres and these tears give rise to inflammation and pain. Myofascial pain like this from the muscles around the spine usually resolves after a short period of active recovery. But, it can also be present alongside other causes of back pain.Lumbar sprainA lumbar sprain happens when the ligaments of the lower back are stretched or torn. Ligaments are the tough connective tissue that joins bones, joints and cartilage together and keeps them stable. If the ligaments are stretched too far they can tear.The symptoms and treatment of a lumbar sprain are the same as for lumbar strain - which affects the muscles, rather than the ligaments.Muscle spasmsYou won't usually know whether your low back pain is a result of a muscle problem or a ligament problem. Both can cause quite severe pain and cause inflammation in the surrounding area and sometimes spasm of the surrounding muscles. A back spasm is felt as a cramping or tightening of the muscles. Spasms are involuntary contractions of the muscle - that means you have no control over them.Muscle spasms are usually caused by the back trying to protect itself from damage to the muscles themselves or may indicate that there is an underlying injury to the spine itself.Degenerative disc diseaseDegenerative disc disease refers to normal changes to the spinal discs caused by ageing. The intervertebral discs are cushion-like structures between the vertebrae - the bony joints of the spine. The discs have a tough outside casing and are filled with a gel-like centre. They act like shock absorbers.As we age the discs become stiffer, drier and thinner. This makes them less flexible and supple and they may restrict movement and cause pain. Degenerative changes are more frequent in the lumbar (lower) spine and the cervical (neck) region of the spine.Degenerative disc disease of the spine may cause chronic (ongoing) low back pain, interspersed with more painful flare-ups from time to time. The pain is often worse when sitting, as the back is carrying more load in that position, and the pain may be relieved by standing up, changing positions or lying down.With ageing, bone spurs - tiny growths on the edges of the bones of the spine - may also occur. These bone spurs (osteophytes) are usually smooth and may not cause any pain.Ruptured, prolapsed or herniated discSometimes called a 'slipped disc', a herniated disc happens when the soft jelly-like centre of a spinal disc bulges out of a tear in the outer casing of the disc. The disc itself doesn't move, but a split in its casing allows the soft middle (nucleus pulposus) to bulge out (herniate).Herniated discs don't always cause problems - up to a third of people who don't have back pain are shown to have herniated discs on imaging. However, sometimes the bulging part can press on a nerve and cause pain, tingling and other problems, such as weakness. Inflammation from the site may also contribute to symptoms. Prolapsed discs like this can be the cause of sciatica. The discs in the lumbar spine are most likely to herniate - these are the discs between the 5 lumbar vertebrae - L1 to L5.Over time, the herniated portion of the disc (that's the part that's bulging out) usually gets smaller (regresses) and the symptoms ease and may go away. Most people with symptoms will improve in 2 weeks.Facet joint problemsFacet joint problems are common causes of back pain and the resulting condition is commonly referred to as facet joint pain or facet joint syndrome.The facet joints are small stabilising joints between and behind the vertebrae of the spine. There are 2 facet joints between each 2 vertebrae at every level of the spine (except the very top vertebrae in the neck). They allow some flexibility so that you can slightly twist and turn around, but they give you stability so that there isn't excessive movement in your spine. The facet joints in the lumbar region allow only flexion and extension, so no twisting. Facet joints are synovial joints, so the joint surfaces have cartilage to allow them to glide smoothly together and they are enclosed in a lubricant-filled capsule.Over time, facet joints can wear out, and with wear and tear the cartilage can become thin, leading to the bones rubbing on each other. This osteoarthritis leads to inflammation and pain, and bone spurs can form on the surface of the bone. As the intervertebral discs become thinner with age, more pressure still is put on the facet joints.Facet joints can also slip (dislocate) and become locked in position. Locked facet joints happen suddenly, for example when a person bends down to tie a shoelace and then experiences that their back seizes up. Problems with facet joints can be unpredictable.Symptoms of facet joint problems include tenderness over the affected facet joint, decreased movement and stiffness, pain when bending backwards and pain in the buttock or radiating down thigh (but not beyond knee).Spinal stenosisSpinal stenosis means narrowing of the spaces in the spine, either:narrowing of the spinal canal (the hollow 'tube' that holds the spinal cord);narrowing of the spaces where the nerve roots exit the side of each vertebrae; orNarrowing and impingement of the nerve root after it has exited the vertebrae.Spinal stenosis can be caused by degeneration of other structures in the back, such as the facet joints or discs, for example by bone spurs or herniated discs. Some people inherit a small spinal canal in the first place.Symptoms of spinal stenosis often start slowly and worsen over time. They may include tingling, numbness or weakness in the feet or legs. If you have symptoms like these, you must visit a doctor.Ankylosing spondylitisAnkylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis affecting the spine. The cause is not known, but there is a strong inherited component to the disease.The symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis are lower back pain and stiffness (especially first thing in the morning), tiredness and pain over the buttocks and down the thigh. The pain tends to ease as the day goes on. Rest does not help back pain from ankylosing spondylitis.Ankylosing spondylitis also causes pain and arthritis in other joints of the body, other than the spine.SpondylolisthesisSpondylolisthesis is when one of your vertebrae slips forwards or backwards out of its normal alignment, causing a step in the building blocks of the spine. It most commonly affects one of the lumbar vertebrae in the lower back.It doesn't always cause pain, but when it does the pain is usually worse during activity and relieved by lying down. If the slipped vertebra presses on a nerve, then you may have symptoms of sciatica - tingling down your leg and over your buttock. People with spondylolisthesis often have tight hamstrings.Spondylolisthesis may be due to a fracture or a defect that is inherited. It may be caused by a traumatic injury, such as from high-impact sports (e.g. gymnastics) or a motor vehicle accident. If the spine has become worn and arthritic, then spondylolisthesis is more likely.Sacro-iliac joint problemsProblems with the sacro-iliac joints - the 2 joints that join your sacrum (tailbone) to your pelvis - can give rise to low back pain. You have a sacroiliac joint on the left and one on the right of your sacrum (the triangular shaped bone at the base of your spine).The sacro-iliac joints are designed to be fairly stiff, and don't normally allow more than a few degrees of movement. They function as shock absorbers. If the joints are abnormally mobile (too much movement) or restricted in movement they can give rise to low back pain. The SI joints may also become inflamed (called sacroiliitis).Symptoms of sacro-iliac joint pain include low back pain, leg pain (but rarely below the knee), pain in the sacro-iliac region itself or in the buttocks. There may be muscle spasms of surrounding muscles as they try to protect themselves or respond to underlying damage.Cauda equina syndrome (CES)Cauda equina syndrome is a medical emergency caused by compression of the spinal nerve roots. Below the waist near where the lumbar spine starts, your spinal cord separates into a bundle of nerves and nerve roots that resemble a horse's tail; this is the cauda equina. These nerve roots supply messages to your legs, feet and pelvic organs. Anything that compromises the nerves can affect the function of your bladder, bowel, legs and feet and could result in paralysis or loss of continence.Symptoms of cauda equina syndrome may come and go, developing slowly over time, or come on suddenly and include:numbness of the buttocks in the pattern of where you would sit on a saddle;severe low back pain;tingling, weakness or pain in one or both legs;changes to bowel or bladder function;abnormal sensations in the bladder or rectum;sudden loss of sexual function;loss of some reflexes.If you develop any of these symptoms, you should visit a doctor or the emergency department straightaway.CES can be caused by a severe rupture of a lumbar disc, spinal stenosis, spine injury, inflammation or a birth defect.Spinal fractureOsteoporosis - a condition causing spongy bones - can cause sudden compression fractures (cracks) of the vertebrae. These osteoporotic compression fractures usually affect the vertebrae of the thoracic (upper) spine, but may also affect the lumbar (lower) vertebrae. They cause sudden back pain when they happen and can lead to ongoing pain, pain that is worse when standing or walking, and loss of height. Vertebral fractures such as this are common in postmenopausal women and older men.Spinal fractures may also be due to trauma, falls, sports injuries, or motor vehicle accidents.SpondylolysisSpondylolysis is a type of fracture or stress fracture in the vertebrae. It often affects young athletes who do sports such as gymnastics or football. Whilst the fractures sometimes spontaneously heal, they may not heal correctly and can cause ongoing back pain.Mostly there are no symptoms in young people with spondylolysis, but symptoms can include lower back pain which may extend into the buttocks or legs.Spondylolysis is a common cause of spondylolisthesis (mentioned earlier) where one vertebra slips out of position over another. Conversely, in older people with spondylolisthesis, this can lead to uneven loading of the facet joint, causing a compression fracture.CancerCancer is a rare cause of back pain. Tumours affecting the spine are usually secondary cancers that have spread from the primary tumour somewhere else in the body. Symptoms of spinal tumours include back pain, unexplained weight loss, weakness or numbness in arms or legs, and pain that is worse at night and which doesn't go away with rest.Risk factorsRisk factors for low back pain include:Being overweight or obese - which puts more strain on the back.Being middle aged or older - back pain is more common the older you get.Lack of exercise - which can lead to weak back muscles that don't support the spine.Poor posture - this can lead to muscle imbalances.Heavy physical work and lifting weights that are too heavy.Incorrect lifting technique, e.g. using your back instead of your legs.Overdoing it or doing unaccustomed exercise.Being pregnant.Stress - this can lead you to unconsciously tighten your back muscles.Sitting for long periods of time.Scoliosis - an abnormal curving of the spine sideways.Treatment and self-help for low back painMost uncomplicated back pain resolves after a period of active recovery and people are generally back to normal within 4 weeks.See your doctor if you are at all concerned about your back pain, and especially if any of the following occur:Your back pain has not improved after a couple of weeks;The pain is getting worse as time goes on. Active recovery includes trying to do normal activities as much as possible and keeping active. Gentle walking, which improves blood flow and speeds up healing, can help. Doctors now know that inactivity and rest will lead to stiffness and more pain and is more likely to lead to ongoing back problems.Careful stretching may help relax muscles, especially if you have muscle spasms.You may find that sleeping with a pillow between your legs can make night-times more comfortable.Over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or anti-inflammatories, e.g. ibuprofen (Nurofen), may help ease pain and reduce inflammation. If they are suitable for you, anti-inflammatories may be more effective than paracetamol. The pain probably won't be completely eliminated, but this should enable you to resume gentle activity. Make sure you take the recommended dose. These medicines are not suitable for everyone, so always check with your doctor or pharmacist.Topical pain relievers are applied to the skin at the site of the pain. They are creams or ointments, usually. Some use the same ingredients that are in the tablet forms of over the counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. Others have ingredients such as capsaicin, a compound from chilli peppers, or menthol.Stronger painkillers. Depending on the circumstances of your back pain, your doctor may prescribe other painkillers, antidepressants or other medicines.There is no evidence to support using muscle relaxants to treat low back pain. Oxycodone (prescribed as Endone or Oxycontin) is a strong painkiller belonging to the opioid group of medicines and is sometimes prescribed for back pain. Oxycodone can lead to addiction if used for long periods and also carries the risk of overdose. Whilst it may be effective in the short term for sudden onset of back pain, oxycodone is not recommended long term and there is no evidence for it being effective in the long term. Codeine is another strong painkiller, sometimes used in the short term for back pain. Codeine is another opioid and can also lead to addiction.Hot or cold packs may help with the pain as may sitting in a warm bath. Heat loosens tight muscles and increases blood flow, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the area. Cold can help reduce pain and swelling. Cold is usually used in the beginning stages of an injury.Exercise programs - A physiotherapist or osteopath should be able to help you with an exercise programme to improve mobility, reduce pain, prevent further injury and help with recovery from back pain.Don't worry too much or allow negative thoughts to run amok - the relationship between our thoughts and pain is complex. Worry and anxiety about back pain can make the pain worse.Acupuncture - there is no evidence to show that acupuncture has any effect in improving low back pain, however, it is unlikely to be harmful.TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) - this technique uses low voltage electrical current and is said to block pain signals. At the moment, there is no evidence to show TENS has any effect in helping low back pain.Therapeutic massage - The evidence to support the effectiveness of massage to help lower back pain is not very strong, but some people have found it offers relief. Spinal manipulation is definitely not recommended, though, as it may not be safe in some situations.Pilates - Studio training with experienced instructors can help with core stability and posture, and improve the health of your spine and muscle strength. Pilates training works on the deep support muscles of the spine and should help protect you from future episodes of back pain.Yoga - Yoga can help with flexibility and posture, and along with the breathing and meditation aspects yoga may help to relieve lower back pain and improve function of the spine. Some yoga positions are not safe for people with certain back conditions, so you should always let a yoga instructor know if you have back problems.Alexander technique - The Alexander technique helps you to recognise and correct poor postural habits which lead to tension and pain in the body. Teachers in the Alexander technique observe the way you move and then with gentle guidance help you to learn safer and more relaxed ways of moving your body. One-to-one lessons in the Alexander technique have been shown to have a beneficial effect on back pain and functioning in people with ongoing or recurrent low back pain, even 12 months after the lessons have finished.Anti-inflammatory diet - Some foods have been shown to contribute to inflammation in the body, which in turn might aggravate back pain. Processed foods are generally acknowledged to be pro-inflammatory (causing inflammation). On the other hand, some foods are known to have an anti-inflammatory effect or can help with pain relief. Some foods known to reduce inflammation are omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish), and antioxidants from colourful fruit and vegetables.Facet joint injections - Facet joint injections are corticosteroid injections. Australian guidelines now recommend that in most cases, facet joint injections are not helpful. They were done when a facet joint was suspected of causing the back pain. If the pain went away then this confirmed the diagnosis of facet joint disease or facet joint syndrome.Back surgery - In ongoing, non-specific back pain, there is no evidence that surgery helps. Surgery is usually only relevant for a minority of people with back pain, who have specific anatomical causes of their back pain, such as problems that cause pinching of a nerve. Techniques for back surgery are becoming less and less invasive, many being carried out using keyhole surgery.Types of spinal surgery include: spinal fusion, which permanently connects 2 vertebrae together using a bone graft;lumbar decompression, which removes structures that are pressing on a nerve root, by either microdiscectomy, where the protruding pieces of a herniated disc are removed under microscopic view; or laminectomy, a more open type of surgery, where the facet joints may be trimmed, as well as problems with discs resolved.Kyphoplasty - insertion of a balloon to expand a compressed vertebra, followed by injection of bone cement into the vertebra. These compression fractures are usually from osteoporosis.Vertebroplasty - injection of bone cement into a compressed vertebra.OutlookMost people who have an episode of non-specific low back pain improve quickly, and usually recover within 4 weeks. A positive outlook can help you recover more quickly. However, a minority of people will have ongoing problems - the risk of this happening increases with age. Older people are particularly at risk of having recurrent episodes of back pain.PreventionIf you've hurt your back already, then prevention is probably the last thing on your mind. However, some people have further episodes of back pain after the initial episode has resolved, so it's worth finding out what you can do to protect your back from further attacks of back pain.The back is at least risk of injury when it is in its neutral position. Anything that forces it to tilt can cause strains to the ligaments, and pain can result. Twisting when lifting is one common cause of low back pain.The way we lift, sit at our desks, operate machinery and do hundreds of minor tasks can all affect our backs. Trying to keep the back in a neutral position at all times will reduce the risk of backache. This is particularly important with tasks such as gardening and housework, which involve a lot of bending. Whenever possible, bend the knees and keep the back straight when doing things at ground level.Here are some things you can do to try to avoid back pain.Maintain good posture. Try to sit and stand with a 'neutral spine' (a physiotherapist or pilates instructor will be able to show you this). Use your legs to walk up hills (not your back) by staying upright and not bending forwards. Slow down if you have to, to maintain good posture. Sit with your knees slightly higher than your hips.Stay active. Low impact exercise, such as walking or swimming can strengthen the back muscles and the muscles of the core, which allows them to support the spine correctly. Regular exercise can help with strength and flexibility, ease pain and stiffness and protect bones.Back strengthening exercises. Try to do these every week at least a couple of times. A physiotherapist or pilates instructor will be able to help you with the best exercises for your back.Avoid heavy lifting. Avoid lifting weights that are too heavy for you. Learn correct lifting techniques - bend from the knees and use your legs to push up, and contract your abdominal muscles before you lift. Don't twist when you lift, and don't bend from the waist. Push, rather than pull, heavy objects.Pay attention to your carrying technique. Try not to load down one side of your body with heavy bags or handbags - distribute the load as evenly as possible and keep your shoulders square. Swap sides often when carrying heavy bags.Avoid stress. Being stressed or anxious leads to muscle tension by causing blood vessels to narrow, reducing blood flow and oxygen to the body's tissues. This leads to a build-up of waste products, which cause the muscles to spasm or contract. Being under constant stress causes the muscles to tighten and shorten, causing pain - often in the neck and back.Stretching. Stretching can help to reduce muscle tension. Tight hamstrings - the muscles down the back of your thigh - can be a cause of low back pain, so make sure your hamstrings are stretched out and not too tight.Not smoking. Smoking is linked to the development of low back pain. Doctors think this is due to reduced blood flow (which reduces the nutrients reaching the back), jarring from coughing and the fact that the bones of smokers have a lower mineral content.Eat a healthy diet. Some foods have been shown to have anti-inflammatory or pain-reducing properties. An anti-inflammatory diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, may help keep inflammation at bay and so lessen your chance of back pain.Stay hydrated. As we age, the soft gel-like centre of our intervertebral discs dries out and the discs become less effective as shock absorbers. Staying hydrated may go some way to help keep the discs plumped up and slow down this process.Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight can make it harder to move about and puts more strain on your body. Being overweight also creates inflammation in the body.Avoid high heels. High heels alter your body's alignment and put a strain on your back. Unsupportive footwear, such as thongs or flipflops, do not support the arches of the feet and so can lead to poor posture and back pain. Last Reviewed: 2 October 2017

Low back pain may be classified based on the signs and symptoms. Diffuse pain that does not change in response to particular movements, and is localized to the lower back without radiating beyond the buttocks, is classified as nonspecific, the most common classification.[5] Pain that radiates down the leg below the knee, is located on one side (in the case of disc herniation), or is on both sides (in spinal stenosis), and changes in severity in response to certain positions or maneuvers is radicular, making up 7% of cases.[5] Pain that is accompanied by red flags such as trauma, fever, a history of cancer or significant muscle weakness may indicate a more serious underlying problem and is classified as needing urgent or specialized attention.[5]
From a physical therapist's perspective, these are excellent exercises for lower back pain (LBP) resulting from muscular tightness or stiff joints. However, LBP can also be caused by bulging (or "herniated") discs, pinched nerves, and the like. If your LBP worsens (or radiates into your leg) upon attempting these or any other low back exercises, you should seek medical attention. Physical therapists are musculoskeletal experts that are able to properly evaluate and treat your back pain symptoms. And, according to a recently passed law in the state of Michigan, a physician referral is no longer necessary to seek treatment from a physical therapist. So, if you are experiencing LBP that is not improving…#getPT!
So, who cares right? Wrong. Everyone has seen that little old man walking with a cane, hunched over almost to the point of staring at the ground. Do you think he always walked like that? I'd bet you he didn't. Maybe he had an injury that never healed properly, or maybe after spending years and years in a similar position, his body became tighter and tighter until eventually he ended up bent over.

Low back pain is not a specific disease but rather a complaint that may be caused by a large number of underlying problems of varying levels of seriousness.[25] The majority of LBP does not have a clear cause[1] but is believed to be the result of non-serious muscle or skeletal issues such as sprains or strains.[26] Obesity, smoking, weight gain during pregnancy, stress, poor physical condition, poor posture and poor sleeping position may also contribute to low back pain.[26] A full list of possible causes includes many less common conditions.[5] Physical causes may include osteoarthritis, degeneration of the discs between the vertebrae or a spinal disc herniation, broken vertebra(e) (such as from osteoporosis) or, rarely, an infection or tumor of the spine.[27]
2016 — More editing, more! Added some better information about pain being a poor indicator, and the role of myofascial trigger points. This article has become extremely busy in the last couple months — about 4,000 readers per day, as described here — so I am really polishing it and making sure that it's the best possible answer to people's fears about back pain.
"As compared to a conventional deadlift, the sumo allows for greater recruitment of the adductors and a more stabilizing emphasis for the abductors," says Lindsey Cormack, a competitive powerlifter and CrossFit trainer. "Training sumo may feel less stable at first, but the balance requirement is what allows you to effectively train both the abductors and adductors."
Parts of the pain sensation and processing system may not function properly; creating the feeling of pain when no outside cause exists, signaling too much pain from a particular cause, or signaling pain from a normally non-painful event. Additionally, the pain modulation mechanisms may not function properly. These phenomena are involved in chronic pain.[12]

Epidural injections of steroid drugs are frequently used to treat sciatica, despite limited evidence for their effectiveness. Moreover, these treatments are based on the assumption that reducing local inflammation in the vertebral column will relieve pain, but an association between structural abnormalities, inflammation, and sciatica symptoms has not been clearly demonstrated. NINDS-funded researchers are using a new imaging technique that can detect inflammation to better understand what causes chronic sciatica pain and to provide evidence to inform treatment selection.
But moving is important for hip and knee OA. It causes your joints to compress and release, bringing blood flow, nutrients, and oxygen into the cartilage. "This can help prolong the function and longevity of your joints," says Eric Robertson, DPT, a physical therapist and associate professor of clinical physical therapy at the University of Southern California.
First and foremost, stop slouching. One of the most common causes of low back pain is poor sitting posture. The strain on the back while sitting in a slouched position can cause excessive pressure on the joints, muscles, and discs, causing pain. Learn to sit with correct posture and maintain that posture at all times to help decrease or eliminate your low back pain. Also be sure your workspace is set up properly at home and at work.
For those with pain localized to the lower back due to disc degeneration, fair evidence supports spinal fusion as equal to intensive physical therapy and slightly better than low-intensity nonsurgical measures.[15] Fusion may be considered for those with low back pain from acquired displaced vertebra that does not improve with conservative treatment,[14] although only a few of those who have spinal fusion experience good results.[15] There are a number of different surgical procedures to achieve fusion, with no clear evidence of one being better than the others.[83] Adding spinal implant devices during fusion increases the risks but provides no added improvement in pain or function.[11]
Some of these red flags are much less red than others, especially depending on the circumstances. For instance, "weight loss" is common and often the sign of successful diet! (Well, at least temporarily successful, anyway. 😃) Obviously, if you know of a harmless reason why you have a red flag symptom, it isn't really a red flag (duh!). But every single actual red flag — in combination with severe low back pain that's been going on for several weeks — is definitely a good reason to get yourself checked out.
Bleeding in the pelvis is rare without significant trauma and is usually seen in patients who are taking blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin (Coumadin). In these patients, a rapid-onset sciatica pain can be a sign of bleeding in the back of the pelvis and abdomen that is compressing the spinal nerves as they exit to the lower extremities. Infection of the pelvis is infrequent but can be a complication of conditions such as diverticulosis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, pelvic inflammatory disease with infection of the Fallopian tubes or uterus, and even appendicitis. Pelvic infection is a serious complication of these conditions and is often associated with fever, lowering of blood pressure, and a life-threatening state.
Their research differs from past studies of chronic low back pain, which tended to focus on patients who already had a well-established track record of long-term problems (in other words, the people who had already drawn the short straw before they were selected for study, and are likely to carry right on feeling rotten). Instead they studied new cases of chronic low back pain, and found that "more than one third" recovered within nine more months. This evidence is a great foundation for more substantive and lasting reassurance for low back pain patients.
To ease the pain and lower your odds of an injury, don't try to do too much at once. "Start with just 10 minutes," says Arina Garg, MD, a rheumatology fellow at The Center for Excellence for Arthritis and Rheumatology at the Louisiana University Health Sciences Center. "Every few days, increase that time by 5 to 10 minutes." Your goal is to work up to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, 5 days a week.
For example, your quadriceps muscles are a group of four that are located at the front of the thigh; one of the group members, the rectus femoris flexes the hip, which brings your lower extremity (thigh, lower leg, and foot) forward, in front of you. On the other hand, your hamstring muscles are located at the back of the thigh. When they contract, they extend the lower extremity, bringing it behind you.
Behavioral therapy may be useful for chronic pain.[16] There are several types available, including operant conditioning, which uses reinforcement to reduce undesirable behaviors and increase desirable behaviors; cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and correct negative thinking and behavior; and respondent conditioning, which can modify an individual's physiological response to pain.[17] The benefit however is small.[91] Medical providers may develop an integrated program of behavioral therapies.[17] The evidence is inconclusive as to whether mindfulness-based stress reduction reduces chronic back pain intensity or associated disability, although it suggests that it may be useful in improving the acceptance of existing pain.[92][93]
Start kneeling on your mat with knees hip-width apart and hips directly over knees. Press your shins and the tops of your feet into the mat. Bring your hands to your low back, fingers pointing down, and rest palms above glutes. Inhale and lift your chest, and then slowly start to lean your torso back. From here, bring your right hand to rest on your right heel and then your left hand to your left heel. (If you can't reach your heels, turn your toes under; it will be easier to reach your heels in this modification.) Press your thighs forward so they are perpendicular to the floor. Keep your head in a relatively neutral position or, if it doesn't strain your neck, drop it back. Hold for 30 seconds. To come out of the pose, bring your hands to your hips and slowly, leading with your chest, lift your torso as you press the thighs down toward the floor.
Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD, is a U.S. board-certified Anatomic Pathologist with subspecialty training in the fields of Experimental and Molecular Pathology. Dr. Stöppler's educational background includes a BA with Highest Distinction from the University of Virginia and an MD from the University of North Carolina. She completed residency training in Anatomic Pathology at Georgetown University followed by subspecialty fellowship training in molecular diagnostics and experimental pathology.
When you're working to strengthen the core, you'll want to focus on exercises that don't exacerbate lower back issues. "It's important to find out which movements (flexion, extension, rotation) cause pain or discomfort and to avoid those movements, while continuing to work into ranges that are not provoking," Dircksen says. Crockford suggests focusing on exercises that keep the core stable and avoiding twisting movements to avoid exacerbating pain.
Mechanical pain is often called back strain because it is linked with the movement, or "the mechanics" of the spine. This type of pain occurs when injury to the spine's discs, facet joints, ligaments, or muscles results in inflammation. It is called mechanical pain because it relates to the mechanics of your spine. The more you use your back, the more it hurts.
The more than 20 muscles that make up your hips are responsible for stabilizing your pelvis, moving your legs from side to side, and shortening to draw your knees toward your chest every time you sit down, run, jump or pedal, explains Kelly Moore, a certified yoga instructor and co-founder of Mindfuel Wellness, which brings health and wellness initiatives to companies throughout Chicago.
Discectomy or microdiscectomy may be recommended to remove a disc, in cases where it has herniated and presses on a nerve root or the spinal cord, which may cause intense and enduring pain. Microdiscectomy is similar to a conventional discectomy; however, this procedure involves removing the herniated disc through a much smaller incision in the back and a more rapid recovery. Laminectomy and discectomy are frequently performed together and the combination is one of the more common ways to remove pressure on a nerve root from a herniated disc or bone spur.
Arthritis: The spondyloarthropathies are inflammatory types of arthritis that can affect the lower back and sacroiliac joints. Examples of spondyloarthropathies include reactive arthritis (Reiter's disease), ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and the arthritis of inflammatory bowel disease. Each of these diseases can lead to low back pain and stiffness, which is typically worse in the morning. These conditions usually begin in the second and third decades of life. They are treated with medications directed toward decreasing the inflammation. Newer biologic medications have been greatly successful in both quieting the disease and stopping its progression.
How to do it: Stand with your feet together, holding dumbbells by your sides. Take a wide step out to your right and lower into a side lunge, reaching dumbbells on either side of right leg [as shown]. Bend your left knee and shift your weight into both legs, into a wide squat position, reaching the dumbbells to floor in front of you, then extend your right leg and shift your weight to the left, moving into a side lunge with your left leg.
The hip joint is designed to withstand repeated motion and a fair amount of wear and tear. This ball-and-socket joint—the body's largest ball-and-socket joint—fits together in a way that allows for fluid movement. While many causes of hip pain can arise from the joint itself, there are numerous structures surrounding the hip that can also be the source of pain.
Just because your hip flexor region feels sore doesn't necessarily mean the muscles there are tight — in fact, they might need strengthening. This is where that sports science debate we mentioned earlier comes into play. It's important to identify whether you're tight or if the muscles are weak. Again, the Thomas Test will help you identify if you're maybe stretching something that actually needs strengthening.
Grade II (moderate): A larger tear in your muscle that makes it difficult to move and causes a moderate amount of pain, especially when you move the affected muscle, swelling, and tenderness. You may have 5 percent to 50 percent loss of function and you may be limping. You can't go back to sporting activities until the tear is completely healed. These injuries can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months to heal, depending on how bad they are.
The condition is cauda equina syndrome. It involves "acute loss of function of the neurologic elements (nerve roots) of the spinal canal below the termination (conus) of the spinal cord," where the nerves spread out like a horse (equina) tail. Again, this condition causes symptoms in the "saddle" of the body: butt, groin, inner thighs. BACK TO TEXT
Massage therapy does not appear to provide much benefit for acute low back pain.[1] A 2015 Cochrane review found that for acute low back pain massage therapy was better than no treatment for pain only in the short-term.[89] There was no effect for improving function.[89] For chronic low back pain massage therapy was no better than no treatment for both pain and function, though only in the short-term.[89] The overall quality of the evidence was low and the authors conclude that massage therapy is generally not an effective treatment for low back pain.[89]
I'm a runner and started experiencing some familiar tightness in my hip and started getting worse everyday I ran. It's always gotten sore after running for a long extent for the last 4 years or so. I'm glad I found this page because all of these stretches helped me realize what needed to be stretched and how tight I really was! I hope this will fix my overwhelming soreness. Thank you!
People routinely have no pain despite the presence of obvious arthritic degeneration, herniated discs, and other seemingly serious structural problems like stenosis and spondylolistheses. This surprising contradiction has been made clear by a wide variety of research over the years, but the most notable in recent history is Brinjikji 2015. There are painful spinal problems, of course — which was also shown by Brinjikji et al in a companion paper — but they are mostly more rare and unpredictable than most people suspect, and there are many fascinating examples of people who "should" be in pain but are not, and vice versa. Spinal problems are only one of many ingredients in back pain. BACK TO TEXT
The main work of your hip flexors is to bring your knee toward your chest and to bend at the waist. Symptoms associated with a hip flexor strain can range from mild to severe and can impact your mobility. If you don't rest and seek treatment, your hip flexor strain symptoms could get worse. But there are many at-home activities and remedies that can help reduce hip flexor strain symptoms.

While leg lifts, certain ab exercises, and even hula hooping can all help work the hips, the hip flexors can still be a tricky part of the body to stretch Kinetics of hula hooping: An inverse dynamics analysis. Cluff, T., Robertson, D.G., and Balasubramaniam, R. School of Human Kinetics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Human Movement Science, 2008 Aug; 27 (4): 622-35.. To get them even stronger and more flexible, try these five simple hip flexor stretches:
If you have hip arthritis, work on building up the muscles in your outer thigh for added support. Lie on your pain-free side and lift the leg with arthritis up about six inches, hold for two or three seconds, and lower it again, Humphrey says. Start with one set of 10 repetitions and build up to three sets. Repeat on the other side unless it is too painful. This exercise can aggravate your symptoms if you have hip pain from bursitis.
Hip flexor strains and injuries are often caused by "over doing it" (such as exercising) or periods of prolonged sitting combined with weak hip muscles. While hip flexor strains are typically not serious, they can be quite painful and severely limit your activity and mobility. Airrosti rapidly resolves most hip flexor injuries in as few as 3 visits — without the need for injections, medications, or long periods of rest.
For those with pain localized to the lower back due to disc degeneration, fair evidence supports spinal fusion as equal to intensive physical therapy and slightly better than low-intensity nonsurgical measures.[15] Fusion may be considered for those with low back pain from acquired displaced vertebra that does not improve with conservative treatment,[14] although only a few of those who have spinal fusion experience good results.[15] There are a number of different surgical procedures to achieve fusion, with no clear evidence of one being better than the others.[83] Adding spinal implant devices during fusion increases the risks but provides no added improvement in pain or function.[11]
Spartacus is worthwhile, but the sex and violence is over-the-top: there's no sugar-coating it. Definitely not a family drama. But the dramatic quality is excellent. After a couple of campy, awkward episodes at the start, the first season quickly gets quite good: distinctive film craft, interesting writing, and solid acting from nearly the whole cast. Andy Whitfield's Spartacus is idealistic, earnest, and easy to like. I found it downright upsetting when I learned that he had passed away — as did many, many other fans I'm sure. See my personal blog for a little bit more of a review of Spartacus. BACK TO TEXT
Paget's disease of the bone is a condition of unknown cause in which the bone formation is out of synchrony with normal bone remodeling. This condition results in abnormally weakened bone and deformity and can cause localized bone pain, though it often causes no symptoms. Paget's disease is more common in people over the age of 50. Heredity (genetic background) and certain unusual virus infections have been suggested as causes. Thickening of involved bony areas of the lumbar spine can cause the radiating lower extremity pain of sciatica.
I think you should mention that for some people, stretching is not the solution and that it will deteriorate their posture. Some people need stretching, but most people I know need to strengthen their "overstretched" hip flexors. Many people can't do a single hanging leg raise. Check this site if you want to know more about the importance of hip flexors bit.ly/Unlock_Your_Hip_Flexor Report
In this study, one patient with sciatica was sent for ten MRIs, which produced 49 distinct "findings," 16 of them unique, none of which occurred in all ten reports. On average, each radiologist made about a dozen errors, seeing one or two things that weren't there and missing about ten things that were. Yikes. Read a more detailed and informal description of this study.
Complaints of low back pain are one of the most common reasons people visit doctors.[9][42] For pain that has lasted only a few weeks, the pain is likely to subside on its own.[43] Thus, if a person's medical history and physical examination do not suggest a specific disease as the cause, medical societies advise against imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs.[42] Individuals may want such tests but, unless red flags are present,[10][44] they are unnecessary health care.[9][43] Routine imaging increases costs, is associated with higher rates of surgery with no overall benefit,[45][46] and the radiation used may be harmful to one's health.[45] Fewer than 1% of imaging tests identify the cause of the problem.[9] Imaging may also detect harmless abnormalities, encouraging people to request further unnecessary testing or to worry.[9] Even so, MRI scans of the lumbar region increased by more than 300% among United States Medicare beneficiaries from 1994 to 2006.[11]
Mechanical pain is often called back strain because it is linked with the movement, or "the mechanics" of the spine. This type of pain occurs when injury to the spine's discs, facet joints, ligaments, or muscles results in inflammation. It is called mechanical pain because it relates to the mechanics of your spine. The more you use your back, the more it hurts.

Start in a runner's lunge, right leg forward with knee over ankle and left knee on ground with top of your foot flat on the mat. Slowly lift torso and rest hands lightly on right thigh. Lean hips forward slightly, keeping right knee behind toes, and feel the stretch in the left hip flexor. Hold here, or for a deeper stretch, raise arms overhead, biceps by ears. Hold for at least 30 seconds, then repeat on opposite side.
In addition to strengthening the core muscles, it's also important to address any mobility problems, says Jacque Crockford, M.S., C.S.C.S., exercise physiology content manager at American Council on Exercise, which can sometimes be what's causing pain. If specific movements like twisting or bending or extending your spine feel uncomfortable, there may be mobility (flexibility) issues at play. Doing some gentle stretching (like these yoga poses) might help. (If it gets worse with those stretches, stop and see a doctor.)
The hip joint is designed to withstand repeated motion and a fair amount of wear and tear. This ball-and-socket joint—the body's largest ball-and-socket joint—fits together in a way that allows for fluid movement. While many causes of hip pain can arise from the joint itself, there are numerous structures surrounding the hip that can also be the source of pain.
Hip labral tear. This is a rip in the ring of cartilage (called the labrum) that follows the outside rim of the socket of your hip joint. Along with cushioning your hip joint, your labrum acts like a rubber seal or gasket to help hold the ball at the top of your thighbone securely within your hip socket. Athletes and people who perform repetitive twisting movements are at higher risk of developing this problem.
Biofeedback is used to treat many acute pain problems, most notably back pain and headache. The therapy involves the attachment of electrodes to the skin and the use of an electromyography machine that allows people to become aware of and selfregulate their breathing, muscle tension, heart rate, and skin temperature. People regulate their response to pain by using relaxation techniques. Biofeedback is often used in combination with other treatment methods, generally without side effects. Evidence is lacking that biofeedback provides a clear benefit for low back pain.
For persistent low back pain, the short-term outcome is also positive, with improvement in the first six weeks but very little improvement after that. At one year, those with chronic low back pain usually continue to have moderate pain and disability.[2] People at higher risk of long-term disability include those with poor coping skills or with fear of activity (2.5 times more likely to have poor outcomes at one year),[96] those with a poor ability to cope with pain, functional impairments, poor general health, or a significant psychiatric or psychological component to the pain (Waddell's signs).[96]
For those with pain localized to the lower back due to disc degeneration, fair evidence supports spinal fusion as equal to intensive physical therapy and slightly better than low-intensity nonsurgical measures.[15] Fusion may be considered for those with low back pain from acquired displaced vertebra that does not improve with conservative treatment,[14] although only a few of those who have spinal fusion experience good results.[15] There are a number of different surgical procedures to achieve fusion, with no clear evidence of one being better than the others.[83] Adding spinal implant devices during fusion increases the risks but provides no added improvement in pain or function.[11]

"Diagnosis and treatment of low back pain: a joint clinical practice guideline from the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society". Annals of Internal Medicine. 147 (7): 478–91. doi:10.7326/0003-4819-147-7-200710020-00006. PMID 17909209.
Neglect your lower body too often and you risk losing mobility — that thing that allows you to plop down on the floor to play with your kids, or get up and out of even the cushiest chair with ease. "A lot of people sit all day, so they're not necessarily using their glute muscles," says Daily Burn Fitness/Nutrition Coach Allie Whitesides. "And a lot of people are in the car all the time, so we're not using our leg muscles much, either."
Start in a runner's lunge with right leg forward, right knee over right ankle and back leg straight. Walk right foot over toward left hand, then drop right shin and thigh to the floor, making sure to keep right knee in line with right hip. Allow left leg to rest on the floor with top of left foot facing down. Take a moment to square your hips to the front of the room. Hold here, or hinge at hips and lower torso toward floor, allowing head to rest on forearms. Hold for at least 30 seconds, then repeat on opposite side. You want to feel a moderate stretch in the outside of the right thigh, but if this pose hurts your knees or feels too uncomfortable, stick with Thread the Needle.
The diagnosis of low back pain involves a review of the history of the illness and underlying medical conditions as well as a physical examination. It is essential that a complete story of the back pain be reviewed including injury history, aggravating and alleviating conditions, associated symptoms (fever, numbness, tingling, incontinence, etc.), as well as the duration and progression of symptoms. Aside from routine abdomen and extremity evaluations, rectal and pelvic examinations may eventually be required as well. Further tests for diagnosis of low back pain can be required including blood and urine tests, plain film X-ray tests, CAT scanning, MRI scanning, bone scanning, and tests of the nerves such as electromyograms (EMG) and nerve conduction velocities (NCV).
Poor Sitting Posture: The correct position of your low back should have a slight forward curve called a lordosis. When you sit slouched, this lordosis straightens out-or even worse-reverses itself. This loss of the forward curve in your spine can cause increased pressure on the small shock absorbing discs in your back. This increased pressure can displace your discs and lead to low back pain. Your physical therapist can teach you the proper way to sit to decrease, eliminate, or prevent your back pain.
Meanwhile, it's extremely common for non-life-threatening low back pain to be alarmingly severe and persistent — to have a loud bark! Your doctor may not appreciate how true this is, and may over-react to all persistent low back pain, even without other red flags. In most cases, you shouldn't let them scare you. Being "freaked out" about persistent back pain is the real threat: it can make low back pain much worse, and much more likely to last even longer (a tragic irony).
Recovering from a hip flexor injury can take time, but proper supervision and guidance from a musculoskeletal professional can minimize downtime and pain. Additionally, there are a few stretches you can do at home to recover from a hip flexor injury. The following stretch increases hip flexor dexterity, while helping alleviate pain in and around the hip and upper thigh.

Back "spasms" are a largely a myth — there's no such thing a sustained painful contractions of muscles in otherwise healthy people (see Cramps, Spasms, Tremors & Twitches) — but the kernel of truth in the idea of "spasms" may be the idea of trigger points, which are hypothetical "micro cramps," tiny patches of painfully contracting muscle. Although this idea is controversial, it is nevertheless one of the most likely explanations for common aches and pains that mostly stick to one area (especially the back) and have no other obvious cause. See Back Pain & Trigger Points. BACK TO TEXT
Back pain can be confusing enough as it is. Sometimes it may be difficult deciphering if the pain is even coming from your back, and trying to figure out what causes it can be mind-boggling. And many experts recommend focusing on mechanical sources of your back pain rather than anatomical sources of your pain. Is it a herniated disc, bulging disc, or facet joint arthritis causing your problem? It can be hard to decide, so focusing on what you are doing and the positions you put your back in may be the best way to determine the cause of your back pain.

Q: I built a four-bedroom house in 1998 and lived in the house for 19 years. My house was fully paid off in 2006. I bought a new piece of land and built a house on it in 2017 – the handover for this house was 30 November 2017.
The loan on this house is $750,000, and this loan is a residential investment loan. Can I move this loan to my paid-off house, and can I change my residential investment loan into a home loan?
My paid-off house is currently being rented out, and as there is no interest to deduct it against, I have to pay tax on the income.
Many thanks, Anurka
A: Thanks for your question, Anurka – it is one we get regularly. The short answer is no; you cannot just move debt that was used for your new PPOR (principal place of residence) to your old PPOR when you decide to rent it out.
However, there are limited circumstances in which you might be able to 'sell' part or all of the property to a family member in order to achieve your outcome. I have detailed below a scenario to explain this:
Property 1: Owned 100% by Jane Brown and valued at $1,000,000. It was purchased in July 2000, is fully paid off and has been Jane's PPOR for the entire period of ownership. Jane met and married John Smith in January 2005.
Property 2: Purchased in December 2005 for $1,000,000, of which $900,000 was borrowed. Jane and John discuss keeping Property 1. John would really like to keep Property 1 as a long-term investment, while the couple plan to move into and occupy Property 2. John would also like to have his own interest in the property. He suggests purchasing 50% of Property 1 from Jane at market value, and borrowing to purchase his interest in the property. The debt as a result of the sale would be as follows:
Property 1: Debt with no sale: $0 Debt after sale: $500,000
Property 2: Debt with no sale: $900.000 Debt after sale: $400,000
It is extremely important to note that the main purpose of this arrangement cannot be to obtain a tax benefit, otherwise you risk getting into trouble with the Tax Office under Part IVA of the Income Tax Assessment Act (the anti-avoidance rule for income tax). You would therefore need specific advice for your circumstances.
There are two other important points to note:
• You need to keep capital gains tax (CGT) in mind. In the above scenario, there was no CGT, but you will need to seek advice to ensure that there will not be any CGT on the sale.
• In this example, stamp duty would be applicable in at least some states of Australia, so you would need to weigh up the cost of stamp duty versus the benefit.
"There are limited circumstances in which you might be able to 'sell' part or all of the property to a family member"

DJ Khaled is once again expanding his empire beyond the music game and following in the foot steps of Rick Ross. The Miami motivational speaker, DJ and producer is entering the grooming arena.
On Tuesday night the "We're The Best" producer was a special guest on Conan and after talking about his love of soap, Khaled revealed "I'ma make my own soap. So I'm here to announce today – and this is crazy that we're talkin' about this – I'm gonna make my own soap."
We can't be mad at that. Never forget that back in the early 00's during Redman's famous MTV Cribs episode he revealed he used Herbal Essence body wash to smell good, hence making it ok for all thugs and gangsters to partake in body cleansing products that moisturize and fragrance the physical. Ok, we might've read too much into that single revelation. Just saying, men appreciate a good soap.
No word on whether or not Khaled was actually spitting facts or just thinking out loud in the moment, but if Rick Ross can have himself a men's grooming line, then DJ Khaled can have himself a bar of soap.
Check out Khaled's thoughts on soaping below and let us know if you'd be interested in supporting his vision.

Year in review: the news that shaped 2015
As we usher in a brand new year, the Star Observer reflects on some of the biggest LGBTI news stories of 2015 – from important law reforms to topics that had everyone talking.
As we usher in a brand new year, the Star Observer reflects on some of the biggest LGBTI news stories of 2015 – from important law reforms to topics that had everyone talking.
An accord on PrEP has been signed in Melbourne by a number of individuals and groups working in the local HIV sector as a way to show solidarity and support in their aligned goals.
Along with vigils, World AIDS Day in Queensland was marked by the announcement that along with Queensland Positive People and four other NGOs, the Queensland AIDS Council will share in $8m in HIV funding. This will see a partial restoration in funding following cuts made to the organisation three years ago.
Blue Ribbon Boys is a campaign that sees qualified Hornet users granted a blue ribbon icon on their profile photo, signifying their personal commitment to sexual health regardless of their HIV status.
3700 people in NSW being eligible to receive PrEP by early 2016 will not only reduce new HIV transmissions but should also pressure the rest of Australia to follow suit.
World AIDS Day was established in 1988 to mourn and honour the lives of those lost to AIDS-related illnesses, as well as to help raise awareness about HIV and AIDS globally. The day has grown to one that also aims to tackle stigma and raise awareness on needed legal reforms and treatment access. Brent Allan looks to the future of Australia's response to HIV.
World AIDS Day 2015 in Melbourne saw HIV researchers and scientists, alongside those living with HIV, come together to discuss the future of the virus and remember the lives lost to the epidemic.
Discrimination against people living with HIV is a crime by government law, yet 81 per cent of Australians think they are still treated as outcasts. How will the discrimination be tackled now that HIV notifications are increasing? Nina Bjordal reports.
AS preparations are finalised for yet another World AIDS Day on December 1, many across the HIV sector are looking ahead to how to successfully …
News of a new Senate motion to look at fast tracking access to PrEP comes just as a new poster campaign is launched in Melbourne and Sydney by the same anonymous group behind the controversial "you can fuck raw" campaign in September.

Jarred 2 Drawer Nightstand article tips & guide ,When you consider patio furniture, steel is among the very first things you think of, and even for good cause. It offers the perfect balance in between style and function: durable sufficient to resist the weather, but able to be worked into attractive styles. But like any other product, you will find pros and cons to steel furnishings, and you definitely don't want something which will break up soon after many years. Learn more about selecting and using metal furniture out of this manual.Read more ..Jarred 2 Drawer Nightstand
Utilizes AND PROPERTIES:
The benefit of metal, obviously, is its sturdiness. Few other materials can sit out all winter and arise appearing like new. When properly built and handled, steel furnishings can last twenty to thirty years. Most of them are treated for warmth and corrosion opposition, and wish hardly any upkeep.
What numerous don't realize is the fact that steel furnishings can be quite comfy, as well. People think "metal" and immediately image hard-supported seats and cold, gleaming areas. But with the addition of just a few easy figure, even the planet's hardest metal can be created into very comfortable furniture. You may also add soft cushions and fabric just make sure they are treated for that outdoors as well.Read more ..Jarred 2 Drawer Nightstand
Light weight aluminum: Once considered more valuable than gold, light weight aluminum may be the biggest vendor in steel furnishings due to its light weight and potential to deal with corrosion and rust. Untreated aluminum forms a thin, oxidized layer that safeguards it from damage. This corrosion is what gives aluminum its brand dull color. A better choice is to find light weight aluminum furnishings having a powder-coated complete. The powder covering not only protects the steel in the components, but also offers an elegant, silk complete.
Most producers choose to use cast aluminum, that is produced by flowing the molten metal into a cast. This process enables fine detailing as well as an limitless variety of designs, such as fully ergonomic styles that can rival wooden and wicker.
Another selection is tubular light weight aluminum, which is hollow and very versatile. It is a lot less sturdy, but it is really mild and makes excellent pool furnishings. It is most often used for foldable seats, furniture, seats, and swingsets.
Wrought Metal: The word wrought only denotes "labored," also it completely explains the way the furnishings are made. Metal bars about 50 % an inch thick, are curved, collapsed, and garbled into type, creating probably the most intricate furnishings styles on the market. If you prefer a classic, stylish look for your garden, wrought iron is what you want.
The main one downside of wrought metal is its weight. While you will value heavy furniture on windy times, they will sink on soft surfaces like grime and lawn and may even break less strong blends of concrete. Additionally they have a tendency to corrosion and corrode otherwise properly waterproof. It may be unpleasant to sit down on directly, but most producers know this and provide padding to pay.
Stainless steel: If you want your furniture easy and reduced-upkeep, go for stainless. Stainless is an alloy of metal, carbon, and a variety of other metals, however it owes much of its power to an component known as chromium. Just like aluminum results in a organic protecting coating, chromium forms a thin movie of oxide at first glance to protect it from rust and corrosion.
That said, stainless steel furnishings can continue to rust and rust if you do not keeping it well. The chromium movie is self-restoring, so all you have to do is fix it every now and then and clean up any spills. You don't have to take it in every time that it down pours, try not to let it rest treating for too much time as this can cause drinking water represents.Read more ..Jarred 2 Drawer Nightstand
Purchasing Suggestions:
When selecting metal furniture, keep close track of the coat and finish. Ensure the surface is natural powder-covered that is, the conclusion is baked to the steel instead of painted on. Powder-coated metal needs without any maintenance and will keep its shine and colour for longer.
Also think about the kind of weather you reside in. If you get lots of rain, you want some thing with large basement waterproofing or at best mild enough to hold inside. Steer clear of light weight aluminum when you get truly warm summer season. Aluminum has a tendency to retain warmth, so you might want to wait a while for it to cool down enough to be used once again.Read more ..Jarred 2 Drawer Nightstand
If you will not be using your furnishings for a while, pay for it with a plastic or vinyl fabric sheet. Do that even if you're storing it indoors, because any uncovered surface area will oxidize with time. Use vehicle wax to wash colored areas and follow up with a wax coating. Don't use rubbing compound, as this can make good scrapes within the paint.
Repair any potato chips or peeled fresh paint immediately to prevent rusting. To touch up, thoroughly clean the spot with alcohol, fine sand gently and apply the include-up. Should there be no contact-up kit available, make use of a vehicle kit rather using the closest coordinating color. Buff the new fresh paint with additional fine metal made of woll to combine it in.
Of course, regular cleansing is the greatest safety you are able to give your furnishings. Most alloys could be cleaned with water and soap, but it is best to get particular cleansing instructions out of your manufacturer. Thoroughly clean your furnishings each and every few weeks utilizing warm water and moderate soap, and clean dry having a soft fabric. Remember, as long as you maintain them well, you can rely on them stick with you for years.Read more ..Jarred 2 Drawer Nightstand
