hi i am jamil male and 34, on 9th may 2011 in the evening local time 4 or 5 while i was walking i felt pain in my chest and same at location in the back this pain remains with me till next day somewhere night 8 or 9, it was first time for me. i do noticed that when i am still means sitting or laying down on bed pain goes away specially when i was on bed at home pain go away immediately. Thing is when i starts walking i was starting and when i got still means take rest by sitting (not that much) but by laying down on bed more frequent pain relief . I also noticed that my heart beat was uncertain it was very light and above normal and in between after 12 or 14 heart beat it took sometime and beats very bad for once.

hello jamil,
most likely you are having back pain due to spinal canal stenosis or root compression from slipped lumber disc.spine is design to support posture of body,mobility and proper weight bearing.heavy weight increase the lordotic curve of lumber spine and unequal weight distribution through pelvis causing accelerated bone loss and stress fracture,herniates vertebral disc to slip foroward from mechanical pressure,narrowing spinal canal, impinging on nerve roots causing pain(spinal claudication). Management of spinal stenosis is aimed toward symptomatic relief and prevention of neurologic sequelae. Conservative measures, such as pharmacologic therapy(drug like pain killers,gabapentin or pregabalin) and physical therapy(but lumber extention excercise shoud be avoided) provide temporary relief.Surgery is indicated when the signs and symptoms correlate with the radiologic evidence of spinal stenosis and when significant radiculopathy, myelopathy (cervicothoracic), neurogenic claudication (lumbar), or incapacitating pain is present.The choice of surgical procedure is individualized to optimize the outcome.
