It is believed that this disease is not curable and goes away. But actually, everything is much more difficult. What are the causes of back pain and some of them need medical help?
Muscular Strain
About 85% of the cases of chronic or episodic back pain associated with excessive strain on the lower back. Don't be surprised: even if you exercise, no gravity pulls, and don't dig in the beds around the clock, the muscles of your back is still experiencing daily strain. If you are sitting, for example, in front of the Monitor, you are it, the majority of the maintenance of your body. Therefore, doctors recommend that those who work on the table, because you "sit lower" in a chair, leaning on his back.
However, the diagnosis of "tired back:" no one will deliver. Usually mild back pain relate to "undetermined causes" (it can be temporary damage to the muscles or ligaments) and treat the rest and the correct posture on the chair. If the pain does not disappear after 2 weeks or be repeated regularly, should ask you to make your doctor for a detailed investigation.
Compression fracture
According to the American Medical Association, pain is a diagnosis about 4% of the patients with back. Compression fracture — fracture of a vertebra, most frequently in the elderly and in patients with osteoporosis. In this disease the bones are less dense and can easily weight break under the pressure of the body. Therefore, fractures as a result of injuries in this category are not included. And this does not mean that the Patient himself can determine, such as eddy break — in only sharp nagging pain talk.
Be treated such fractures in high-quality strict Regime and complex medications to reduce the pain.
Herniated discs
Bulbosus hernia is a fairly common Problem, often meeting in people after 40 (although it can be diagnosed and at an earlier age). Cause — Degeneration of the muscles and connective tissue. With increasing age the vertebral column as a "closer" swirl against each other, the discs flatten and Bulge on the spine. The result — the same compression of the nerve roots, leading to a sharp pain in the lower back and the legs.
In General, localization of your pain, your doctor may recommend, where hernia can be found. But to confirm the diagnosis and to more precisely determine the location of the hernia, usually with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Spondylolisthesis
This condition occurs in 5-7% of the population, although much less frequently diagnosed (usually with chronic back pain, people are just not observed). Spondylolisthesis at the foot of one of the vertebrae (in the rule 5. LWS) is deformed, whereby the intervertebral disc "crawls" on the bottom, curved at the same time forward or backward. The relevant section of the spine is like a circuit, but not to a column.
The symptoms are the same — pain in the lower back, sometimes in the butt, and only rarely may be given in the lower extremities. Offset vertebral nerve roots compress the nerve pain from the spinal cord, and that leads to the sensations.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Another name of this disease — ankylosing spondylitis. Occurs mainly in men, both older as well as younger. Women make up less than one-sixth of all patients.
Mainly due to pain and stiffness in the lower back, aching pain in the thighs, the DC voltage back muscles. Cause — the inflammation of the joints and ligaments of the spine. It is a chronic, progressive disease, that is, keeps the lumbar spine, the inflammation spreads to the neck and thoracic spine. In addition, in the course of time affected the connective tissue of the internal organs, the circulatory System, kidneys, lungs and even the eyes. However, the disease occurs are not likely to be "Set" for about 0.35 to patients.
Cancer
About 0.7% of the patients complain of pain in the back in consequence of cancer detected. It could be cancer, initially localized in the spine, or a Tumor, metastases from other organs. As the statistics shows, such cases are extremely rare: generally cancer "catch" on other symptoms, and if you don't ill before, to cancer, pain in the back can hardly ring these terrible diagnosis.
Infectious lesion of the spine
One of the rare causes of back pain (0,01%). Typically, the infection begins with the spine, and receives the lumbar spine through the bloodstream from other parts of the body — from the urinary channel, for example. As with other infectious lesion, usually accompanied by fever. However, the combination of the "back pain + fever" does not mean that you are infected with the spine. Ordinary flu, for example, cause the same symptoms.
