Causes. Back pain is a symptom. Common causes of back pain involve disease or injury to the muscles, bones, and/or nerves of the spine. â¢ (a nerve is directly irritated), often due to a herniation (or bulging) of the disc between the lower back bones.
What is the difference between a creek and a crick? Please add where you are from in your answer. One is a body of flowing fresh water smaller than a river, and the other is a pain in the neck. Unless you're from Appalachia, in which case the latter (crick) is an alternative pronunciation of the former (creek). I have yet to find corroborating evidence of this sense/connotation of the word. I'm mostly from California, and out here we call them creeks (rhymes with leeks), regardless of size.
Lakes vs. Ponds. Both lakes and ponds are standing or slow-moving bodies of water. There are no official or scientific differences between lakes and ponds. Lakes are larger than ponds, but size is relative. What would be considered a pond in one region might be considered a lake in another. In general, water bodies that are considered lakes in dry areas would only be considered ponds in regions with abundant water resources where there are more (and larger) bodies of water.
