1BACK PAIN ASSIGNMENTQuestion 1:Pain stimulus can be divided into three subtypes, Nociceptive pain, Neuropathic pain andPsychogenic pain. The most common form of pain is nociceptive pain, which is seen in the casestudy provided. Ms. Sue seems to be suffering from Nociceptive pain which is caused due toexternal or internal injury. In cases of external injury the pain does not persist for long time NonSteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) is prescribed to the patients, but if the condition ismore severe, additional opioid prescription is also allowed.The pain mechanism consists of threeneurons, which connects peripheral tissues like skin and muscles with the cerebral cortex. Theneurons form a vast network to ensure as much tissues as possible is connected to the cortex(Davidson et al., 2012). The peripheral tissues are connected to the spine by peripheral neurons,which are further connected to the thalamus by Spinothalamic tract neurons. The thamalus isconnected to the cortex by Thalamocortical neurons. The progression of nerve impulse withinthese three places occurs even less than a millisecond. Lower back pain can occur due to variousproblems, like muscle strain, ligament sprain, lumbar disc injuries et cetra. These conditions canresult due to heavy object lifting, twisting of spine while lifting as well as sudden accidents ofmovement that would injure or stress the bones and muscles in the lower back portion (Sterud &Tynes, 2013). In the case study is it evident that the woman had public service which requiredher to do heavy machinery and equipment operation as a part of her job. Fire-fighters are knownto lift or pull hose-pipes, perform rigorous training activities, and sometimes undergo serviceinjury (Guidotti, 2013).
