Frequent Back Pain – Overview

Frequent or recurring back pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages, often due to lifestyle, posture, or underlying medical conditions.

🔹 Common Causes

Poor posture (sitting or standing for long hours)

Muscle strain from lifting heavy objects or sudden movements

Sedentary lifestyle and weak back muscles

Spinal issues such as slipped disc, spondylosis, or spinal stenosis

Arthritis or osteoporosis

Obesity increasing strain on the spine

Stress causing muscle tension

🔹 Symptoms

Dull or sharp pain in the lower, mid, or upper back

Stiffness and limited movement

Pain radiating to legs (if nerve compression occurs)

Tingling or numbness in limbs

🔹 When to See a Doctor

Seek medical care immediately if you have:

Pain lasting more than 2 weeks

Pain radiating to legs or buttocks

Weakness, numbness, or tingling

Difficulty controlling bladder/bowel

Pain after injury or fall

🔹 Prevention & Management

Maintain correct posture while sitting or standing

Do regular stretching and strengthening exercises

Use ergonomic chairs or lumbar support

Avoid lifting heavy objects incorrectly

Maintain healthy weight

Manage stress levels

Sleep on a firm mattress

What is a Meningioma?

A meningioma is a tumor that arises from the meninges, the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.

Most meningiomas are benign (non-cancerous) and slow-growing, though some can be atypical or malignant.

Causes & Risk Factors

Exact cause is unknown.

Risk factors include:

Radiation exposure (especially to the head)

Genetic conditions (like Neurofibromatosis type 2)

Hormonal factors (more common in women; may grow during pregnancy)

Age (most common in adults 40–70 years old)

Symptoms (depend on size and location)

Headache

Seizures

Weakness or numbness in limbs

Vision or hearing problems

Memory or personality changes

Difficulty with balance

Diagnosis

MRI brain scan (preferred)

CT scan (sometimes used)

Biopsy in rare uncertain cases

Treatment Options

Observation (“watch and wait”) – for small, asymptomatic tumors.

Surgery – main treatment; complete removal is often curative.

Radiotherapy / Radiosurgery – used for tumors that can’t be fully removed or are recurrent.

Prognosis

Most benign meningiomas have an excellent outcome after treatment.

Recurrence risk is higher in atypical or malignant forms.

Pituitary Adenoma

A pituitary adenoma is a usually benign (non-cancerous) tumor that arises from the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain that regulates hormones.

Types

Functioning Adenomas (hormone-secreting)

Prolactinoma → excess prolactin

Growth hormone–secreting adenoma → acromegaly / gigantism

ACTH-secreting adenoma → Cushing’s disease

TSH-secreting adenoma → hyperthyroidism

Non-functioning Adenomas (do not secrete hormones)

Cause symptoms mainly due to pressure on nearby structures.

Symptoms

Hormonal Effects (depending on type):

Irregular menstruation, infertility, galactorrhea (milk secretion)

Acromegaly: large hands/feet, facial changes

Cushing’s disease: obesity, round face, hypertension, diabetes

Hyperthyroidism symptoms (rare)

Mass Effect (due to tumor pressure):

Headache

Vision problems (especially loss of side vision – bitemporal hemianopia)

Nausea, vomiting (large tumors)

Rarely, pituitary apoplexy (sudden bleeding into the tumor) → emergency

Diagnosis

Hormone blood tests (prolactin, GH, ACTH, cortisol, TSH, thyroid hormones, etc.)

MRI brain with pituitary protocol

Visual field testing (perimetry)

Treatment

Medication

Dopamine agonists (Cabergoline, Bromocriptine) → for prolactinomas

Somatostatin analogs, GH receptor antagonists → for GH-secreting tumors

Surgery

Transsphenoidal surgery (through the nose) – standard treatment for most adenomas

Radiotherapy

For residual or recurrent tumors not controlled by surgery/medicines

Prognosis

Most pituitary adenomas are benign and treatable.

Early diagnosis and treatment can restore hormonal balance and prevent vision loss.

A brain hemorrhage (also called intracerebral hemorrhage or brain bleed) is a type of stroke that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing bleeding into or around the brain tissue. This bleeding damages brain cells and increases pressure inside the skull, which can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.

Types of Brain Hemorrhages:

Intracerebral Hemorrhage – bleeding directly into brain tissue.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage – bleeding in the space between the brain and the thin tissues covering it.

Subdural Hemorrhage – bleeding between the brain surface and the dura (outer covering).

Epidural Hemorrhage – bleeding between the skull and dura.

Common Causes:

Head trauma / injury (common in accidents, falls)

High blood pressure (hypertension) – weakens vessel walls

Aneurysm rupture (ballooning of a vessel that bursts)

Blood clotting disorders or blood thinners

Brain tumors

Drug abuse (e.g., co***ne)

Symptoms:

Sudden severe headache (“worst headache of life”)

Weakness or numbness (often on one side)

Difficulty speaking or understanding speech

Vision problems

Loss of balance or coordination

Nausea, vomiting

Seizures

Loss of consciousness in severe cases

Diagnosis:

CT scan / MRI of brain – to detect location and size of bleed

Angiography – to find aneurysm or vascular malformation

Treatment:

Emergency stabilization (maintain breathing, blood pressure control)

Medications – to reduce brain swelling, prevent seizures, manage BP

Surgery – to remove blood clot, repair aneurysm, relieve pressure (e.g., craniotomy, minimally invasive procedures)

Rehabilitation – physical, occupational, speech therapy for recovery

Prognosis:

Depends on size and location of bleed, cause, and how quickly treatment is given.

Early treatment improves chances of survival and recovery.

⚠️ Brain hemorrhage is a medical emergency. If suspected, immediate hospital care is critical.
