Connection of Your Physical Health with your Emotional Condition

Examples of strong connection between your physical health and your mental/emotional condition are numerous. Have you ever noticed that when you get physically sick your emotional condition worsens greatly? You are getting all irritable and generally dissatisfied with everything. This fact is one of the perfect proofs of invariable interaction of your physical health with your emotional well-doing.
This example of mine was actually very ‘light’ and almost trivial, especially if we compare it with something more serious like terminal diseases. When I worked as a hospice volunteer I saw the emotional state of people who suffered from untreatable forms of cancer and i.e. rapidly moved towards their dying day. Some of them were deeply depressed, others had ‘gained’ serious mental disorders through their terminal physical conditions.
Have you ever noticed how emotionally elated we feel when we recover from certain nasty disease? I certainly have! This shiny and new feeling of emotional bliss is closestly connected with your physical refreshed and now healthy condition. Moreover, this condition helps you make sure how important health in a person’s life is and i.e. encourages you to work on your well-doing and cherish it.
The opposite side of the medal of mental-physical health connection is, for instance, your physical condition during depression or any other mental deviations from usual norm. Haven’t you ever realized that when you are upset or stressed out, your physical health is getting worse as well? I’m sure you have which is another vivid example of firm ‘friendship’ between your physical and mental conditions.
Taking into account all that has been said you must work hard on all the aspects and ‘fields’ of the global notion of your health – if you want to stay physically and mentally healthy for as long as possible that is.

Back Pain and What’s at the Back of It

If your physical health’s most hurtful problem is pain back, put your back into active work on getting to know everything about your back pain and i.e. on starting fighting it. In order this tautological but potentially successful process to result positively, you must be well-educated on the issue of back pain, its causes and treatment. I’m sure this post of mine will be your worthy educator.
Reasons of back pain are different starting from lack of physical activity, going through muscle tension, ligament tears, fragile bones ending with issues connected with back joints. Mind that even such non-physical factor as emotional stress boosts your back pain.
Other possible causes of back pain are kidney problems, arthritis, pregnancy (or other purely female conditions or illnesses), cancer or heart problems. Another quite logical reason for back pain is injury. In case your back pain seems to be reasonless, don’t hesitate to visit your physician for he may help you detect your newly acquired condition(s) – the earlier your doc diagnoses them, the better the treatment will go.
As for detailed symptoms of back pain, they are typically concentrated at the lower back area; this rule is not fundamental though, and pain can spread to other areas. These symptoms may cause discomfort or even total disability. Pain varies from sharp through burning to dull ache.As for treatment, the necessity here depends on what exactly stands behind your pain’s back. If it’s about mild back pain, then it will pass without extra doctor’s attention. Don’t try those pain relieving pills, they only bring temporary relief. Don’t indulge in bed rest either, exercise instead. Other ways to treat back pain are massage, physical therapy and even acupuncture; sometimes the best option is surgery. Consult your doc and don’t let your back pain be on your back.
