I suffer severe back pain in the morning after I wake up. What can be the cause?
-S Jaya, Alwarpet
Two common causes of morning back pain are disc degeneration and inflammatory disorders. While small jerk or injuries can lead to disc degeneration affecting the shape of the spinal discs, not maintaining proper posture while sitting for long hours can also be a responsible factor. Lack of regular exercise and adequate nutrition also aggravates the problem.

Though specific medical conditions may vary, peripheral neuropathy can be one of the underlying issues affecting the nerves due to inflammation. Old injuries or bone fractures can also be the cause of pain in the palm of the hand.
