As someone who has had a very similar problem for many years I can tell you that your back pain causes your depression not the other way around. You may have a damaged disk in your back and standing for a long time will definitely make it worse. When your nerves begin to be pinched your back muscles will spasm to protect your spinal nerves. Back pain affects 80% of Americans at some time in their lives. It comes in many forms, from lower back pain, middle back pain, or upper back pain to low back pain with sciatica. Common back pain causes include nerve and muscular problems, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis. http://www.webmd.com/back-pain/default.htm Chronic Pain and Depression: Managing Pain When You’re Depressed Chronic Pain and Depression: A Terrible Twosome If you have chronic pain and depression, you've got plenty of company. That’s because chronic pain and depression are common problems that often overlap. Depression is one of the most common psychological issues facing people who suffer from chronic pain, and it often complicates the patients' conditions and treatment. Consider these statistics: According to the American Pain Foundation, about 32 million people in the U.S. report pain lasting longer than one year. From one-quarter to more than half of patients who complain of pain to their physicians are depressed. On average, 65% of depressed people also complain of pain. People whose pain limits their independence are especially likely to get depressed Treating Chronic Pain and Depression: How to Get Started The best way to approach managing chronic pain is to team up with a physician to create a treatment plan. When chronic pain and depression are combined, the need to work with a physician is even greater. Here's how to get started. See your primary care physician and tell her you're interested in gaining control over your chronic pain. As you develop a plan, keep in mind that the ideal pain management plan will be multidisciplinary. That means it will address all the areas of your life affected by pain. If your physician is not trained in pain management herself, ask her to refer you to a pain specialist. Empower yourself by tapping into available resources. Several reputable national organizations are devoted to helping people live full lives despite pain. See the list below for their websites. Find a cognitive therapist near you with experience in the treatment of chronic pain. You can locate one by contacting the national pain organizations or cognitive therapists' professional groups listed below.

Umm..... Idk really but I do have depression and when i was diagonosed with iþ I started having back pain and body aches but Irdk I could be a coincedince lol

yeah, i get random back pains. but not to that extent. i would get that checked out

Do you hunch over or stand with a straight back? Floor-types, such as concrete in a city, can cause all sorts of back pains. I suffer with depression, manic & bi-polar. My back hurts most when I tend to hunch over over slouch so that I don't get noticed much. I agree physical pain is too much to carry, especially with depression. Go see a doctor soon. Request that 'if' you have to be put on medication for any reason that a side effect of the medication NOT be addictive at all. This could also be just Satan tempting you with drugs.

There could be more than one cause of all this jumble of symptoms. To get them all sorted out, you really should see your family doctor, to make sure there isn't something physical causing part of the problem. You should also see a Chiropractor. They can do wonders for back pain, which can also help with your depression. It sounds like you have an ongoing problem, and very likely it is connected to depression. So, you should also see a therapist. Just therapy, alone, can do a lot for you. A good counselor can guide you in finding out what's at the root of the depression, and what you can do to alleviate it. Sometimes therapy isn't enough by itself, though, and they can then also prescribe a medicine that can help. Medicine alone, though, won't do the job. Believe me...been there, done that! If you set yourself up in these three areas, I'm sure you will feel a lot better. Each one of these people cares for a particular part of you...they all work together to make the whole person well. Oh, yes, good quality shoes, or inserts, as someone else mentioned, can make a lot of difference when you have to stand up a lot at work. Good luck...I'll be thinking about you and wishing you the best.
