“Most back pain requires surgery.” Myth! On
contrary, under two percent of patients with back pain need surgery. However, back pain is
third top reason for surgery.
“Only a small percentage of workers suffer back pain on
job.” Wrong! The top occupational hazard in
USA is back pain.
“Lie down and rest for back pain.” Au contraire. Contrary to popular believe, bed rest can hinder recovery. Health care providers recommend remaining active to decrease down time for patients.
“Men suffer back pain more than women.” Not! With regards to gender issues and back pain, it is a myth that men suffer back pain more than women. In reality,
only main difference is with secondary pain to disk disorders during middle age. However, with regards to race, low back pain is reported more frequently among Caucasians than other races including African Americans.
“If a patient's pain description lacks a regular, consistent pattern, it's probably imagined or exaggerated.” Myth! No two people, no two cases are totally 100 percent identical. Activities, events, pain and people themselves vary from day to day and there is no 100 percent correct way to describe pain in words to fit a perfectly accurate diagnosis.
