Too painful to lie on back
Fracture of the spine bones. This kind of fracture usually occurs in older patients with osteoporosis (bone weakening). It can be caused by even small amounts of force e.g. falling on buttocks, lifting heavy objects. Some patients may pass it off as a normal backache, only to have diagnosed later on when an X-ray is done.
Bone tumours occur when cells within a bone divide rapidly, resulting in a lump or mass (tumor). They can be cancerous or non-cancerous. The exact cause is not known. Possible risk factors include genetics, previous radiation therapy, bone traumas, anticancer medications, etc. Bone tumors can arise from the bone or be caused by another cancer that has spread to the bone.
