This can be a blocking of the muscles on the back due to the clamping height of any of the vertebrae, and the disease of the internal organs About it in more detail described below.
In the left-hand side in the back in the lumbar area
The main groups of causes of pain in the left side of the back can be:
- Diseases of the kidney and urinary tract;
- the defeat of the spleen;
- the pathological process in the digestive system;
- Diseases of the spine;
- pathological processes in muscle-skeletal System, etc.
The establishment of the exact source of pain, the doctor by using methods such as the objective examination of patients and in the appointment of certain additional methods. The more we talk about it in the description of the individual types of pain.
If the unpleasant sensations associated with the back, then we offer for you a special series of exercises.
Above the waist
If the pain appears on the left of the back above the waist, then we should think about the following possible variants of its occurrence:
- the pathological process in the pancreas (it is usually an inflammation — pancreatitis);
- Osteochondrosis (degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine, by a decrease in the height of the intervertebral disc);
- the defeat of the adrenal glands (the most common adrenal glands can be affected by the Tumor process, which also leads to the emergence of pain).
To confirm that the defeat of the pancreatic gland, it is necessary that the biochemical analysis of blood, which brings increased activity of pancreatic enzymes (Amylase, Lipase, Trypsin and others). The appointment of appropriate treatment contributes to the interruption of the pathological process. For this purpose, the following principles apply:
- Cold;
- Hunger;
- Rest.
Confirm osteochondrosis allows a detailed neurological examination, the pain showed, in the areas of income and nerve roots. In difficult diagnostic cases, the computed tomography or magnetic resonance is recommended.
Tumors of the adrenal can be identified either during an ultrasound or x-ray examination, either during the execution of the computed tomography. The gold standard of the diagnosis of any cancer process is the histological examination.
Below
If the pain occurs on the left rear and at the bottom, you should think about the following reasons:
- the defeat of the intestine (usually an inflammation in the colon) colitis,;
- Pathology of the kidney, or pyelonephritis, or kidney stones);
- Osteochondrosis of the spine;
- Myositis (especially if the pain is localized along the spine).
Most of the time the cause of the pain, this localization of the diseases of the urinary system. For the determination of the obschtscheklinitscheski analysis of urine as well as ultrasound of the kidneys is recommended. The obschtscheklinitscheski analysis of urine may reveal the following types of deviations:
- an increased amount of Protein (possibly due to inflammation or injury of the Filtration/Reabsorption in the kidney);
- an increased number of leukocytes, refers to inflammation process (mostly Pyelonephritis – an inflammation of the pelvis or calyces) of the kidney;
- the increased number of erythrocytes takes place in the case of Urolithiasis, if the stone leads to the trauma of the urinary tract.
Under the ribs
The emergence of pain under the ribs is usually associated with pathological processes that affect the spleen. It is the body, which help to dispose of the damaged cells of the blood. Therefore, in the case of different problems (leukemia) there is a significant increase in the by stretching the capsule. This is precisely the reason for the pain, which is localized under the ribs on the left side. Injury of the spleen in a fall or a collision can also cause such pain.
Gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer can cause pain under the ribs on the left side. The pain can be acute, which testifies to various complications (Penetration, Perforation), or pain at the end. The implementation of fibrogastroduodenoscopy and Tests on the identification pylori (the cause of the development of stomach ulcers), you can set the final diagnosis.
Also, we wrote about the causes of pain in the sternum, in the middle of the symptoms, but also analyze what are the diseases that cause such complaints.
During the movement
Pain that increases localized rear left and movement, usually in connection with the following reasons:
- Osteochondrosis;
- Myositis;
- Urolithiasis.
As a differential diagnosis of pathological processes with the above. For the identification of Myositis, it is recommended that in addition to objective research and electromyography.
The leg
Usually leg pain is the presence of substances in the urinary System, neuralgia, as well as in the presence of intra-abdominal bleeding, the cause of which can be very different (gastric ulcers, apoplexy of the ovary, impaired ectopic pregnancy, injuries, etc.).The principles of diagnosis are similar to those already discussed. If the pain is worse when lifting of the non-bent legs, so this points to the pathology of the nerve-strand (the so-called Symptom of the voltage).
So, the reasons for which the pain appears in the back and on the left side, are very diverse. Their accurate determination is the key to successful treatment, which will significantly improve the health of the people.
