Infections
The spine and other associated tissues would be infected with some harmful fungi, viruses, or bacteria. This condition might happen when infections are spread from other body parts to your spine. Also, it might occur after spinal surgery or injuries, or as a complication of some medical issues, such as HIV, cancer, or diabetes. A typical symptom of a spinal infection is severe back pain. Also, you might experience chills, fever, loss of sensation, muscle spasms, flushing, tenderness, and swelling. Antifungal or antibiotic medications are the first line of treatment for this problem.
