This controversial pronouncement comes from a German study that looked into the health trends following the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990. Researchers from the University of Lübeck found that back pain was often imaginary in the subjects from these areas.
When Germany united the West had 15% more back pain related issues than East Germany. In 2003, the number of back pain in East Germans shot up to nearly the same as former West Germany.
The findings imply that in a significant number of cases people develop pain from reading about the problem or hearing family, friends and or work colleagues moan about their own aches. The researchers believe that the mind eventually gets tricked into thinking the body is in pain, even when there has been no obvious injury or trigger,” said Pat Hagan of the Daily Mail.
Most researchers agree that this is do to the fact that the media hype was about back pain at the time. Back pain was an unavoidable "rising tide".
"It was described as a leading and acceptable cause of work disability. After reunification, all those 'myths' and misconceptions about back pain being pervasive in Western societies immediately spread to East Germany,” the researchers reported in the International Journal of Epidemiology.
In 15 percent of cases, back pain was traced to an underlying physical problem like a trapped nerve or a slipped disc. For many, no cause was found.
Dr. Dries Hettinga, research manager at the charity Back Care believes that people think about it so much because and they hear so much about real back pain problems. This makes people paranoid about back pain issues.
"There is quite a lot of evidence to say that exposure to reports of back pain can increase your chances of getting it yourself. It has a lot to do with how acceptable it is in society to have back pain. We already know, for example, it is much lower among the self-employed than employees. It's not always useful when people talk about back pain a lot. Sometimes it can be counterproductive,” she explained.
Regardless of the cause, Pain Concern Spokesperson Heather Wallace said, "Pain still needs to be treated since it is very real to those suffering from it".
