Any back pain is serious enough to see a specialist, but when it’s severe and unbearable, then you may need a specialist ASAP. Some immediate/ emergency signs consist of things like numbness around the groin and down your legs, progressive weakness in your back and legs, and new or worsening uncontrollable bladder and bowel changes. These things happening can be due to many reasons, and a lot of the time has to do with your nerves being pinched and pained in your back. If the pain lasts longer than 4-6 weeks, affects your mobility, interrupts your sleep, or feels like a radiating sharp pain then you really need to see a specialist like Dr. Sinha ASAP. If any of these symptoms describe what you are feeling now, please reach us at Axis Spine and Orthopedics!
