My Back Went Out...Again! Why?!
Lumbar Antalgia...
Antalgic Lean https://www.cure-back-pain.org/antalgia.html
This particular diagnostic term, also called an antalgic list, is very common in lower back pain conditions, but is also occasionally seen in middle back pain, upper back pain or even neck pain conditions. A list simply means that the patient is leaning or bending to one side without consciously enacting the movement.
These lists are caused due to painful stimuli in the affected area and muscular response, including extreme tightening and spasming in a protective capacity. The patient may be bent forward or to either side, creating a disturbing appearance and often scaring them half to death. Ironically, most list conditions resolve without treatment once the back muscle spasm ends and typically, the patient will suffer no lasting physical effects.
The psychological effect of this type of back pain is a completely different story altogether and most patients live in continuing fear of a recurrence.
What causes this problem....a Herniated or Bulging Disc is the problem...and hopefully for you it is an 'old' disc injury. I say that because in my experience, if it is 'old', the recovery time is much less.
You body leans to take pressure off of the irritated disc...
