The causes of back pain is not always easy. the human spine is very complex, so it can be difficult for doctor to pinpoint the exact causes of low back pain or other sympthoms. Study shows that factors like depression, anxiety or stress can contribute to the onset of back pain

I think the depression, stress are the main main reason make my back painful all the time... painful back has been bothering me for a long time, I don't know what I can do to ultimately fix it, I don't want to spend lots of $$ for the doctor to fix it because it is usually not one shot but regular appointment... I don't take shower everyday to cure it for maybe an hour to release the pain a little bit, it really really hurts :-(

The cause of back pain can be numerous and it is not always injury related. I dont really agree with Depression and anxiety contributing to the onset of pain, I have been suffering long enough to know what the cause was. Depression, anxiety and stress are caused by back pain! Especially if it was not an injury that caused the backpain and it is a possible illness like a Kidney infection, or it is referred from chest/heart pain. It can be a viscious cycle Fortunately, after 15 yrs of suffering from backpain, caused by an injury and failed back surgery. I found relief. I have 2 spinal column stimulators. I do not suffer from depression I am not sure what you were trying to accomplish in this conversation, but I could elaborate. just let me know.

I did not know about depression, I think it is due to weak stomach muscles and maybe lifting things too hard. And what happens if you are not depressed, anxious, or stressful and you still get back pain. And since some believe depression, anxiety, or stress are brought up by themselves, would that not lead to the guilt that some people feel when they have diabetes (they ate too much sugar) or heart attack (they ate too much junk food.)
