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.
Pimples and boils may have similar appearances, particularly if the boil is just beginning to form. Both pimples and boils may appear red and raised. Over time, boils can become much larger than pimples, however. Boils can even join together and form a carbuncle, which is a cluster of boils that connect and form a single head. Boils and carbuncles are typically very hard and painful, whereas a pimple is not as hard and may or may not cause pain. Loaction. One way to differentiate between boils and pimples is their location. Pimples almost always appear on the face, chest or back, because these are the places where the oil glands become overactive and clog the follicles. Boils, on the other hand, usually form in the armpits, groin, buttocks or on the thighs.
