The pastry hurts: What to do?

Spinal diseases and back muscles "become younger" every year.Even teens in our time face various problems, not to mention the elderly.In the treatment of pain, the diagnosis plays an important role.It is necessary to find the cause of the disease, only then effective therapy is possible.

The main reasons why a person suffers from back pain can be distinguished:

• Spinal diseases;
• Hernia (extension in the canal where the spinal cord is located);
• Posterior diseases;
• benign and oncological tumors;
• damage to internal organs;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• Excessive physical activity.

Varieties of back pain and possible causes

Let us consider in more detail the options for pain localization and the possible causes of their appearance.

In the area of the lower back

Most often, the elderly suffer from such pain.The main reason is local inflammatory process.Manifestations of the disease:

• After a certain distance traveled, the pain appears in the back and gives it to the foot;
• With further load, unpleasant sensations increase;
• Foot rate;
• The pain is relieved if you bend your back.

The causes of back pain over the lower back can be recognized by analyzing the nature of the sensations.For example, the surrounding pain, which concentrates under the ribs to the left and goes to the lower back, accompanied by intestinal disorder, high body temperature, vomiting, nausea, speaks of pancreatitis.

Acute pain in the lower back is associated with:

• Cyst rupture in women;
• Kidney stones;
• inflammation of the ureter;
• Acute intestinal diseases.

In the Lumbar region to the right

Pain drawing on the right side can talk about:

• oncology;
• myosite;
• scoliosis;
• switching to the beads of degenerative processes.

Severe, sharp, acute pain over the lower back occurs after severe hypothermia, damage, with appendicitis, hernia, inflammatory process.In this area, it hurts with kidney pathology, when the fluid is not completely excreted by the body.Acute pain can indicate urolithiasis and gallstones.

Above the lower back to the right, it also hurts (carving, burning) with:

• Kyfosis;
• scoliosis;
• inflammation of the nerve roots of the spinal cord;
• bone form of tuberculosis;
• Osteomyel.

With damage to the spine, not only he himself suffers, but also the muscles in the area.

In the area of the lower back to the left

The painful pain on the left side, which does not even go through the break that occurs when you walk, and with physical tension, and when you run, and after a long journey or at the end of your work day.If it does not go after the break, the reasons may be:

• osteochondrosis;
• scoliosis;
• damaged blood flow;
• Infectious spinal column lesion.

If it hurts when you walk and passes after rest, then this can be caused by radiculitis, a displacement of the spine, diabetes mellitus (at the stage when it affects the joints), and a tip of the nerve root.

Painful pain in the left, over the lumbar region, occurs between office employees, teachers and other people with a sedentary lifestyle.This can indicate the onset of osteochondrosis, poor behavior and recent hypothermia.

Important!Acute, surrounding pain that gives left shoulder blade can be a symptom of myocardial infarction.

Stomach ulcer "gives" here.The nature of the pain is sewn.

Muscular pain in the back

Located at the lower back, accompanied by muscle overvoltage.Very often it appears in the morning or after rest, after prolonged muscle relaxation.If the muscles are loaded for a long time, then the pain is gradually increasing.Reasons for her appearance:

• sharp rise in severity;
• overload due to sedentary work, unpleasant and/or incorrect attitude;
• Hypothermia (persistent pain, by cutting the pain, it is difficult to fix your back).

Printed nerve

Most often, the sciatica is suppressed (the disease is called "Ishias") for osteochondrosis, the muscles in spasms are squeezed by the nerve.In this case, it can damage to the area of the back and lower back, sacrum, neck.The pain caused by the nerve pinches is often given in the legs, buttocks.Other causes are distinguished: pear -shaped muscle spasms, late pregnancy (pain can talk about the threat of abortion!), Infection, intervertebral disc, narrowing of the vertebral canal.

Intervertebral hernia

Symptoms of pathology include:

• loss of sensitivity of fingers and arms;
• pain that gives the arm or shoulder;
• Pain that gives in the legs or buttocks.

The last two symptoms vary in the localization of a hernia.

The most common cause of hernia is the deformation of intervertebral discs associated with anxious metabolism.The disk is drying, dehydrated, loses elasticity.As a result, it lasts, and the distance between the beads decreases.With a sharp load and active physical exercise, hernia can also be formed.

In the blades area

The shoulder blade is a paired triangular bone located near the shoulder and kolarbon bone.The muscles that are responsible for movements in the shoulder area are attached to it.The types of pain under the shoulder blade in medicine are divided into several groups:

• by nature - sharp, attractive, pulsating, painful, as well as burns, etc.;
• by localization - below the right shoulder from the back, in the middle, to the left, between the ribs, giving the chest;
• In terms of duration - with a sharp debut, arising periodically, intensifying or decreasing - the value also has how long the attack lasts.

The main reasons:

• Shovel reflective syndrome (severe pain in the shoulder, under the shoulder blade or on it, can cover the entire shoulder and part of the sternum, associated with a crisis when the shoulder or hand rotates);
• Stomach ulcer (pain, dull pain that grows or weakens after taking the drug is more often localized to the left, associated with heartburn, nausea, vomiting);
• osteochondrosis (painful pain, accompanied by damaged visual function, dizziness, radiation of pain in the hands);
• Intercostal neuralgia (intensified with long walking, deep breath, cough, serious physical activity, unexpected movements, sneezing);
• Angina pectoris (the attack begins with pain in the middle of the chest, which quickly spreads and gives under the shoulder blade to the left, in the back, under the column to the left).

Which doctor to contact with?

With back pain, you should contact a neurologist.The doctor will prescribe diagnostic measures based on your clinical photo.

Osteochondrosis: the risk of disease

The main manifestation of osteochondrosis is the degenerative processes that occur in the beads and intervertebral discs.The pathology can be located in the neck, chest and lower spine.

Signs and reasons

Consider how pathology manifests and why it appears.

Symptoms of osteochondrosis:

• The main symptoms for osteochondrosis are pain.It can be acute, intensified when moving, force the patient to take unnatural poses in which it does not harm.There is also persistent, moderately intense, dull pain.
• A feeling of fatigue in the back.
• Stock when moving the limbs.

The risk of the disease is that it is "disguised" for other pathologies.Due to the compression of the nerve roots, muscle cramps occur, etc.Often confused with:

• gastritis and other gastrointestinal lesions;
• Myositis muscles;
• Angina pectoris;
• Renal colic.

With a combined lesion of some nerve roots with osteochondrosis, radicular syndrome may appear.

Troubleshooting

The disease is diagnosed in several stages:

• collecting an anamnesis, studying the patient's complaints, the history of his disease;
• Patient examination, walking evaluation, body position, skin condition, symmetry of both sides of the body, volume of movements, etc.;
• X -Ray separately each spine, functional radiographs can be prescribed;
• calculated tomography - directed photographs of one or two parts of the spine;
• Image of magnetic resonance-visualization of nerve processes, vessels, intervertebral discs.

Who is a neurologist he treats?

The neurologist is engaged in diseases of the nervous system, which is based on a violation of the function of nerve cells, neurons and weakening of the relationship between them.Inflammation of the spinal cord and brain also falls into the specialist area.

This checks:

• a sense of localization in space, coordination of movements;
• Touching and temperature sensitivity;
• a feeling of pressure on the body by placing objects of different weights;
• the ability to stay in the Romberg position;
• skin and tendon reflexes;
• limb muscle strength;
• Indication samples (for example, touch the tip of your nose with your finger).

What symptoms do you contact a specialist?

You should contact a neurologist if you have the following symptoms:

• convulsions, loss of consciousness;
• sudden dizziness;
• Shaky, unsafe walking;
• headaches more often once a week;
• Visual function impaired against the backdrop of headaches, vomiting, vomiting, thrown into blood pressure;
• Loss of vision (transient);
• muscle weakness, which increases and does not restore;
• trembling in the legs and arms;
• slow reactions;
• stiffness in the body;
• back pain, arms, feet, shoulders;
• Deterioration of memory;
• reduced skin sensitivity, tingling, numbness;
• insomnia or excessive drowsiness;
• a change in the perception of taste and wind;
• Attacks of fear, panic, tachycardia, chills, heat for no reason.

How does a neurologist differ from a neuropathologist?

Neuropathologist studies the pathological morphology of the nervous system, and the neurologist - nervous disease.

Treatment of back pain

Consider a list of key methods of back pain treatment:

• manual therapy;
• Surgical treatment products (in urgent cases);
• physiotherapy;
• therapeutic blockade (sedative injections with prolonged effects);
• Spinal extension - dry and in water;
• taking drugs;
• Exercise therapy;
• Massages;
• Posting isometric muscle relaxation.

Exercise from back pain

To extend the spine and strengthen the muscles that holds your behavior, it is useful to do the following exercises.They can be performed if you have no injuries to your back.

• Vis on a horizontal bar at least 30 seconds a day.
• Lie on your back in a gymnastics rug.Press the shoulder blade on the floor, bend your legs to the knees.Take the knees to the right as much as possible until they touch the floor, and then - to the left.

Important!Exercises cannot be done with pain syndrome.If suddenly occurs during exercise, you need to stop gymnastics.

• Get up, place your feet -wide mirror.Hands - on the belt.We make circular movements toward clock scorpions and vice versa.10 times in each direction.
• "Boat".Lie on your stomach, stretch your hands up.Next, we bend the body so that the chest, head and feet come out of the floor.Repeat 15 times, extending for 1-2 seconds to the first point.
• Stand on all four sides, straight arms, just in front of your head.We take the pelvis back and down, touching the heels.Repeat 10 times.
• To approach the wall, press on it with a pelvis, heel, nape, shoulder blades.Stay for 1 minute, increasing the time daily, until you reach 10 minutes.
• Lie on your stomach, stretch your arms forward, hold your feet together.On the other hand, we raise a straight leg to the maximum height, without bending to the knee.Linger on top for 1-2 seconds.Lower.Repeat with another foot.Do 10 times for each leg.
