You may be referred to a rheumatologist or orthopedist to get an accurate diagnosis so you can get the medical care you need. Left undiagnosed and untreated, your condition may worsen and cause disability.Īs a partner, you will help the Arthritis Foundation provide life-changing resources, science, advocacy and community connections for people with arthritis, the nations leading cause of disability. Talk with your primary care doctor as soon as possible about your symptoms. Other common sources of back pain muscle spasms, muscle fracture, abnormal curving of the spine (scoliosis), an inflamed sciatic nerve (the largest nerve in the body that runs from the lower part of the spinal cord through the buttock and down the back of the leg) or an injury to a disk (shock absorber) in the back.Īrthritis is difficult to self-diagnose. Other arthritis-related conditions that may cause back pain include polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), fibromyalgia and Paget’s Bone Disease. Because the affected nerves have many functions, the condition may cause many lower body problems, including back pain, pain or numbness in the legs and bowel problems. The overgrowth can cause the spinal column to narrow and press on its nerves. It tends to occur along with osteoarthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. Spinal stenosis is caused by bony overgrowth of the vertebrae and thickening of the ligaments. It commonly affects the sacroiliac joint causing lower back pain. This form of arthritis occurs in about five percent of people with inflammatory bowel disease, which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. This condition may cause inflammation of the joints, eyes as well the intestines, kidneys or bladder. Reactive arthritis often occurs after the genital, urinary or gastrointestinal system gets infected. In some cases, bony overgrowth can cause two or more vertebrae to grow together (fuse), causing stiffness. For about 20 percent of people with PsA, the disease involves the spine (axial arthritis).

Psoriatic arthritis is a form of arthritis that affects joints and usually the skin (psoriasis). These spurs can press on nerves, causing pain.
As a result, movement of the bones can cause irritation, further damage and the formation of bony outgrowths called spurs. In spine OA, this breakdown affects the facet joints, where the vertebrae join. This breakdown causes the bones to rub together, causing stiffness, pain and loss of joint movement. Also known as “wear and tear” arthritis, OA is a chronic condition caused by the breakdown of the cartilage, which cushions the ends of the bones where they meet to form joints. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. There are two types of axSpA: Radiographic axSpA (also called ankylosing spondylitis or AS) includes damage to the sacroiliac joints and spine that can be seen on X-rays, and nonradiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) does not include damage you can see on X-rays but it may show up on magnetic resonance images (MRIs). If you are experiencing pain, swelling and stiffness in the back, you may have one of the following types of arthritis or related conditions.Īxial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects hip joints and the joint that connects the bone at the bottom of the spine to the pelvis (sacroiliac). Spondylarthropathies can affect adults and children. Several types of arthritis are part of a group of conditions called spondylarthropathies (meaning spinal arthritis). The lower back is the most common site of arthritis back pain. Otherwise, it’s considered chronic and may be caused by arthritis.
About 80% of back pain is acute and usually lasts one to seven days.
