Back pain
Back pain is most often linked to strained muscles, changes in the spinal discs, or long hours of sitting. Where it hurts — neck, mid-back or lower back — and whether it travels into the legs decides whether a neurologist needs to be involved.

When to see a doctor without delay
See a doctor without delay if the pain comes with numbness or weakness in a leg, loss of bladder or bowel control, fever, or if it began after a fall or injury.
