Time for a Doctor
The American Academy of Family Physicians describes serious back pain symptoms for which you’ll need to call your doctor. These include:
- Pain that goes down past your knee
- Numbness in your leg, foot, groin, or rectal area.
- Back pain with fever, nausea, or vomiting
- Abdominal pain
Other Warning Signs
Weakness or sweating are also possible warning signs of problems not related to the spine. If you lose bladder or bowel control, or the pain is so intense you can’t move, you’ll need to seek urgent evaluation. Or if several weeks have gone by and the pain still isn’t improving, it’s time to seek help.
