Understanding the Differences Between Low Back Pain Flares and Increased Pain
A flare-up is a worsening of your condition that lasts from hours to weeks
Things that can cause a flare-up are: sitting too long, being in an accident, slipping on a wet surface, or sleeping in an incorrect position
Recent research looked at people with low back pain for over 3 months
On days where self-reported flare-ups were worse, most people had lower quality sleep, higher pain sensitivity, fatigue, disability, and fear avoidance
Most people do not actually have greater levels of pain, but most likely worse PSYCHOSOCIAL features
