Description:

Ankylosing spondylitis is an arthritis that can cause chronic back pain. The lower spine is the most commonly affected.When it affects your lower back, it's known as lumbar spondylitis / Lumbar spondylosis. A term that describes the degeneration of the cartilage and bones in the lower back (lumbar vertebrae), which is most commonly associated with osteoarthritis spinal stenosis or spondylolisthesis Spondylosis is a broad term that refers to any type of spine degeneration that occurs naturally as people age. Lumbar spondylitis can cause a restriction in your back's range of motion. Other joints such as your ribs' shoulders or hips may also be affected. Symptoms usually appear in early adulthood, but they can appear in teens or children as well. Adults aged 60 and up are more likely to develop lumbar spondylosis due to abnormal wear and tear on the spine that hasten the degenerative process.

Cause:

The discs in the spine begin to degrade, lose fluid, and stiffen over time. Again, this is a normal part of the aging process. Unfortunately, some of these changes can result in back pain and stiffness. These include bone spurs which exert force on the lower back and cause back pain; ligament stiffening which impairs mobility and causes back pain; herniated or bulging discs which put pressure on nerves and the spinal cord; and dehydrated discs which cause bone-on-bone contact and contribute to back pain.Other lumbar spondylitis risk factors include: family history age with the majority of people developing symptoms before the age of 45, people suffering from Crohn's disease

Symptom:

Lumbar spondylosis, like most spinal problems, causes back pain and stiffness. It may also result in: Spasms in your lower back muscles When you sit or stand up, you may experience grinding or popping sensations. Numbness in the lower back legs and toes Backache in the buttocks Sciatica is a type of leg pain. In rare cases, lumbar spondylosis causes bladder or bowel control problems. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
