Arthritis The spondyloarthropathies are inflammatory types of arthritis that can affect the lower back and sacroiliac joints. Examples of spondyloarthropathies include Reiter's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and the arthritis of inflammatory bowel disease. Each of these diseases can lead to pain and stiffness in the low back which is typically worse in the morning. These conditions usually begin in the second and third decades of life. They are treated with medications directed toward decreasing the inflammation.
Diagnosis can involve urine analysis, soundwave tests, or radiological scanning of the abdomen.
Pelvic tilt exercises are often recommended for this pain. Ovary Problems Ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and endometriosis not infrequently cause low back pain. Tumours of these areas are detected using radiological tests, such as plain x-rays, nuclear bone scanning, and CAT and MRI scanning. Uncommon Causes of Low Back Pain Paget's Disease Of Bone Paget's disease of the bone is a condition of unknown cause in which the bone formation is out of synchrony with normal bone remodelling. This condition results in abnormally weakened bone and deformity, and can cause localised bone pain.
