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.
Ravines and gullies are erosional features that exist on a continuum of scales. A ravine is defined as a small, narrow, and deep depression, smaller than a valley, and larger than a gully (Bates and Jackson, 1984). Both grow by head cutting. Ravines are usually longer and deeper than gullies. Gullies may be small enough to plow, these are ephemeral gullies.
