4. Severe Lower-Back Injury
A severe injury to the back can be one of the most common triggers for inflammation and infection throughout the body, and one of the most commonly affected joints is the sacroiliac joint.
Along with this, other experienced symptoms of a lower back injury can include numbness or tingle in the legs or feet, pressure and discomfort felt in the lower back, a change in gait and general pain in the back, hips, shoulders, and neck. Symptoms of injuries can sometimes recur for years or decades after the original injury, and can flare-up in times of compromised immunity or colder weather.
Injury to the spine can take place in a variety of different ways, which can include involvement in car accidents, or just picking up something heavy in the wrong way. Many people don’t realize an initial injury or sprain when it happens and just continue on after, often worsening the injury with time.
