Back Pain

Back pain, particularly in the lower (lumbar) area of the spine, is a common medical condition. Pain in the back can caused by many things, from injury to a muscle or ligament, to serious injuries to the spine, illnesses like fibromyalgia and kidney disease, the strain of pregnancy, and more. Most back pain goes away on its own in four to six weeks, but seek medical help if severe pain comes on suddenly, spreads down the legs and causes weakness and numbness, or is accompanied by fever.

Concussion

Concussion is an interruption in normal brain activity usually due to a trauma to the head like a car accident or from a sports injury. Symptoms can include loss of consciousness, but because this does not happen in every case, many concussions go undiagnosed and untreated. Other symptoms that might occur are confusion and forgetfulness, nausea, vision problems, dizziness, and more.
