Causes. Back pain is a symptom. Common causes of back pain involve disease or injury to the muscles, bones, and/or nerves of the spine. â¢ (a nerve is directly irritated), often due to a herniation (or bulging) of the disc between the lower back bones.
What is the difference between a creek and a crick? Please add where you are from in your answer. One is a body of flowing fresh water smaller than a river, and the other is a pain in the neck. Unless you're from Appalachia, in which case the latter (crick) is an alternative pronunciation of the former (creek). I have yet to find corroborating evidence of this sense/connotation of the word. I'm mostly from California, and out here we call them creeks (rhymes with leeks), regardless of size.
Creeks are often shallow and flow into larger bodies of water. While many people would claim that a creek is smaller than a river, not everyone agrees on what makes a creek a creek! In fact, the definition of a creek may change depending on the part of the world in which it flows.
