Is there such thing as a "Cold" in your back?

[squidgetpj]

Hia folks

My hubby sometimes says he has a "cold" in his back.

His back aches, and he reckons maybe it's his kidneys.

Not sure what the problem is with these little "twinges"

Why doesnt he have a cold in the "normal" way!!!

My mum used to say something like that. Also, if I had a stiff neck it was a 'cold' in my neck!

I think the only advice that anyone can give is that he visits his doctor? Cold can cause aching muscles and chills, we all know that, but best to be safe. Hope he feels better soon

I like these old terms, where I come from they call a stiff neck a "dead man's pinch.

However, all these issues can be assessed by a remedial massage therapist or osteopath, etc..

I believe first hand you can get cold in your back.

I have had the aches all round and through my pelvis area, and into the back almost like labour pains ,, and..had waterworks problems, A urinery infection which I take to be cold in the kidneys , bladder or whatever.. Colds often hit my waterworks and throat...my weakest links!

I'm sorry to be the Scrooge of this thread Foxy, but, Bah, Humbug!!

I do not believe in colds in the back!

Whilst these are very quaint old sayings, they dont accurately identify the root cause, and as I have said many times on this forum, without an accurate diagnosis you can never be sure whether the treatment you recieve is making you better or worse! Do your research people!!

I believe that what your husband is descibing is almost certainly a virral infection (cold) working its way through his body. In my experience, if you have a lower or an upper respratory tract infection, the effects of the infection will ususally work its way downward from the sinus, nose, throat and chest as it makes its way through the body's drainage system. One of the 'last ports of call' will be the kidneys.

In that respect, your poor old thing is normal!

I believe, and therapists on this forum might explain it better than I,
that there are areas of the body, which, if left exposed to the cold elements adversely affect the body in ways which leave us feeling much colder than we actually are, I'm thinking of head, neck and lumber back areas in particular, but there are probably others.

This effect can make the muscles cold and achey, but then, so does other muscular and spinal problems, so, as Cassie said, check them out with your GP.

Best of luck and seasonal wishes.

Merry Chrismas!
