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.
The Names of Bodies of Water. Bodies of water have many names. Some mean the same as others, and others are entirely different. The smallest body of water is the brook, a natural stream of water that is found aboveground and is often called a creek as well. A brook is usually a tributary (a small body of water that naturally flows into a large one) of a river, but this is not always the case.
