The degree to which your back pain impinges on your way of living depends on a number of factors: 

  • How severe your back pain is  
  • How long it persists 
  • How active a life you  lead 
  • How old you are

Mild cases of back pain mean a couple of days away from work, or that you miss a couple of activities that you had planned. If the pain resolves itself quickly then things will soon return to normal. However, if back pain is severe and/or persists over a long period of time then it may stop you from carrying out your day-to-day activities, lower yourself-confidence, disrupt, cause depression.

For the majority of people (90%), back pain will resolve, largely by itself, within 6 weeks or so. Most people (60-70%) end up taking less than a week off work as a result of back pain and 90% of these people are back at work within 2 months.
