Back Pain and the Elderly
Osteoporosis is a condition of the aged. It thins the bones causing them to have a higher incidence of breakage. This can be a dangerous problem as it becomes common to crack a vertebrate, fracture a hip or the pelvis or break an ankle or wrist. Still, with proper care there should be no worries about healing. As you get older you may heal a little slower, or just as fast, but you'll heal and as you do the pain will diminish.
If it's a facture of the vertebrate, it can take from a couple of weeks to a couple of months for full recovery depending on which vertebrate and how bad the fracture is. There can be some very severe pain connected to this fracture and walking or standing may be done with considerable difficulty. Resting and doing only the minimal necessary activities is highly recommended. Older women seem to suffer back pain worse than older men.
As one ages there are likely to be diseases that set in that unfortunately also cause back pain. These can be arthritis, hip diseases, sciatica or lower spinal degeneration. This last one causes the spine to become unstable. It usually happens when one of the discs is out of place and so puts pressure on the other vertebrate. It can result in pressure also being put on the nerves. This can be very painful. It will often not only cause back pain, but may radiate pain down the legs. The pain will appear with out warning though it can be triggered by a sudden movement or too much behind or lifting. This pain will be an odd experience as it will come and go as the body is in motion or at rest.
