Among them back pain, sciatica, osteochondrosis and other pathological changes in the lumbosacral spine. Not worth it to treat inattentive, because the pain can't reach in the loin, only incredible strength, making the lives of people unbearable, but also a Symptom of a dangerous disease.
Back pain can be many and varied: acute or dull, aching or burning, local (a place to manifest), or on the entire back. Complaints occur in different ways: sometimes sharp, suddenly, sometimes gradually by each day.
The reaction to the pain, and the ability to move you, depends on many factors: age, psychological characteristics, associated symptoms, and others. But in any case, you do not throw the disease to drive. Timely treatment can help to avoid dangerous consequences.
To determine the cause of the pain in the back, you will need an examination of the spine and some of the other methods: radiological examination, computer tomography or nuclear spin tomography.
Attacks of pain in the lumbosacral occur in the course of life in about 80% of today's inhabitants of the European countries. Acute or chronic back pain as a result of a variety of neurological, degenerative disorders in women and men. In some cases, lower back pain the consequence of diseases of internal organs, obesity, Stress and mental illness.
Causes for lower back pain
The Problem of chronic back pain takes on alarming proportions. The average age of sufferers is falling rapidly, currently 35-45 years. Recorded also cases of children and young people.
A prerequisite for the development of lower back pain – lack of exercise of modern man, leading to a reduction in the stability of the lumbar spine, the most vulnerable division of the skeleton. Back pain can accompany many diseases, they started the common reason for treatment to a neurologist, urologists, surgeons, gastroenterologists and gynecologists. Forecast further aggravation of the problem. The next Generation is no different to a healthy life style.
Back pain in women
Enter to gynecological diseases or are a consequence of the characteristics of the female physiology:
- Gynecological Diseases. Inflammation of the appendages – pelvic inflammatory disease, accompanied by pain in the abdomen, and sometimes pain radiating to the lower back (pain a - and double-sided), shows also symptoms on the part of the intimate sphere (inability to become pregnant, constantly spotting before and after Menstruation, the pain is intensified during sexual intercourse);
- Pregnancy;
- Menopause;
- Pain – a consequence of the increased hypochondria, more common in women. An in-depth, comprehensive examination does not identify pathology. The Problem may occur regularly or constantly. Treated psychological correction. Such pain may arise outside of the influence of the menopause.
Back pain in men
Recurrent pain occurs in connection with the peculiarities of the professional activity of the men, including, if the pain:
- not correspond to the physiological Status of the organism of the man;
- associated with occupational risks (working in the cold, drafty).
Back pain in men and in women
Arise in connection with acute diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract, surgical complications, diseases of the kidney, metabolic disorders, diseases of infectious nature, and tumors (benign, malignant).
- Appendicitis. The characteristic localized pain in the right iliac region, sometimes in the lower back may radiate to afford, more often on the right side of the body. Hits undefined pain in the lumbar area.
- Pathology of the small intestine. Accompanied by symptoms, the tract is characteristic of diseases of the gastro-intestinal. Radiating pain in the lower back due to irritation of the fibres of the lumbar nerves.
- Cholecystitis. Pain are similar to the signs of appendicitis. Usually you are on the right side in the groin area or in the area of the navel. Sometimes in the loin with the involvement in the pathogenesis of the fibers of the spinal nerves.
- Pancreatitis. Characteristic belt of pain around the body, in the area of the waist, the lumbar-Department. Combined with the characteristic for pancreatitis symptoms – vomiting, disturbed defecation, spots on the tongue. If the cause of the pain – pancreatitis, the area of the spine, the feeling does not respond in the response to the application of violence.
- Adhesions after surgery. Occur after laparotomy or abdominal surgery on abdominal organs, sometimes congenital adhesions diagnosed. Localized pain in various parts of the abdominal wall, radiating to the lower back.
- Kidney disease. Back pain combined with a headache, increased diastolic (lower) threshold, blood pressure, edema. Characteristic changes found in the laboratory tests of the urine, the instrumental investigations of the renal ultrasound, MRI;
- Obesity fourth degree. This Extreme increase in body fat percentage in humans. Body-Mass index of the fourth degree (up to 25 years) = 40, and the second group (25) = 41. Determined as the ratio of the mass (kg) on the double growth (m). The causes of the strain on the lower back is clear without explanation.
- Infections with participation in the pathogenesis of the bone tissue, for example, extrapulmonary (bone) tuberculosis. By pain in the bones. Localization of pain in the lower back in connection with the fact that it is the massive Department of a backbone, and it is prone to the maximum load. Symptoms in connection with the clinic of chronic infection. Slight hyperthermia, fatigue, headache, signs of damage to the nervous system, the laboratory show the tubercle Bacillus.
- Myositis – inflammation of muscles. The muscles of the lumbar Zone to carry a large load, so the inflammation of the lumbar spine Zone are common. The disease develops due to hypothermia, penetration of pathogens of viral (Herpes Zoster), bacterial infections (staphylococcal, streptococcal, and other bacteria) in the tissue of this Zone. Result of a sudden, after a local or General hypothermia. manifested by fever, severe pain Chronic stage of the disease manifests pain, sometimes with the participation of the tissues of the skin and under the skin (Dermatomyositis). The diagnosis is made on the basis of the clinical survey of the patient, inspection, Palpation, and laboratory methods.
- Proliferation of benign and malignant tumors in the course of nerve fibers Innervate the loins. Symptoms are varied, and correspond to the stage of the disease and localization of the pathology.
Persistent and recurring lower back pain
There are a variety of classifications of pain, including, depending on the duration.
- Recurring pain, usually associated with physical exertion, physiological properties of the human body or acute diseases of the internal organs.
- Persistent, acute, chronic pain, caused by irreversible pathological processes in the body in diseases of the musculoskeletal system of the human skeleton and lesions in the deep vessels of the legs.
Recurring pain in the lower back - as they are called, because they disappear after the recovery and the removal of the hearth pain.
The origin of such pain can be different for women or men, either in the same way, relating to men and women.
Persistent pain in the lower back usually due to inflammatory and irreversible degenerative and degenerative processes in bone and cartilage tissue, severe impairment of blood flow in the blood vessels of the legs. Persistent pain, to a lesser extent, associated with the defeat of the muscles and internal organs.
Pain is called constant, if the elimination of the hearth pulse in the tissue is difficult because of the development of irreversible processes in bone and cartilage. Degenerative and dystrophic processes, as a rule, non-refundable complete healing. You can pause or stop for a while In some cases, pain is eliminated after the replacement of the damaged tissue to the implant.
Recurring and persistent pain often have a close relationship with each other, so that a temporary pain is constant.
For example, bone tuberculosis, caused eating disorders, cartilage tissue, provokes pain in the lower back, and the pain manifests itself almost always with periods of weakening and deterioration.
Curvature of the spine (scoliosis), unnoticed at first, manifests itself in regular intervals, the osteochondrosis is manifested by constant pain. Examples can be continued.
Diseases, accompanied by constant pain in the lower back:
- Lumbago – acute lower back pain. A consequence of pathological changes in the lumbar vertebral body. In the initial phase, the pain can cut short, because the pathological process is eliminated with early treatment. Developed suddenly while lifting heavy weights and other similar reasons. More common in men diagnosed. Lumbago – a possible consequence of several diseases, for example, Bias, herniated disc, pinched nerve roots in the lumbar spine (neuralgia), inflammation or pinching of the sciatic nerve, degenerative disc disease, and other abnormalities of the vertebrae. In addition to the strong acute pain, a decrease in the mobility of the skeleton in the lumbar spine. If no treatment or the wrong treatment of lumbago, may turn into irreversible disease of the bone tissue.
- Intervertebral osteochondrosis – includes several diseases of inflammatory and degenerative nature, appears to be first the destruction of the articular surface of cartilage and bone involvement in the pathogenesis of nervous.
- Scoliosis. The curvature of the side of the vertebral body, manifests itself in the asymmetry a-line one shoulder, impaired posture, Deformation of the skeleton, the formation of costal hump, the stoop will be visible. The functions of the bones of the skeleton and of the muscles, degenerative processes in the cartilage develops in the reduction in loin tissue. By pain in the bones of the skeleton in difficult cases. Long scoliosis, asymptomatic. Scoliosis can be congenital or acquired.
- Ankylosing Spondylitis – loss of mobility of the joints. Significantly more common in men. Another name of pathology – ankylosing spondylitis. Is a chronic inflammation. The disease manifests itself by pain in the joints and the spine, characterized by lesions of the eyes, decrease in the body size of a human. The proliferation of the connective tissue of the joints of the spine.
- Spondylosis. This is due to the natural aging process of the joints. There is a gradual thinning and loss of range of motion of the lumbar joints. Pathogenesis plays in the complications of the inflammation and the accession to power spondylosis. The symptoms correspond to inflammation of the joints of the spine.
- The difference in the length of the legs more than 2-3 cm, accompanied by a variety of pain in the movement, including pain in the lower back. The pathology develops, such as the atrophy of the muscles of a leg by suffering childhood Polio, and other diseases. In some cases, cope with the Problem be with the help of the orthopaedic Tabs. To repair the defect difficult, if to large differences in the length of the legs, or a gentle lift of the foot.
- Osteoporosis – dilution, leaching of calcium from the bone tissue. Often fracture hip fracture causes. Also lumbar osteoporosis watch. The deformation of the skeleton, the joints, the cartilage, the development of the brche vortex manifests itself. More common in women in menopause.
- Thrombophlebitis – partial or complete stop of blood flow in the deep vessels. Combined with inflammation around the ship. This complicates the course of the disease, triggers the development of pain even at rest.
To treat the doctor?
With pain in the area of the spine first and foremost, you have to contact a neurologist in the district hospital, if the patient's condition, call stable, or the ambulance. Back one of the signs of gynecological, urological, surgical, and gastroenterological problems can pain.
Back pain is often combined with various infections and injuries of the extremities. Not excluded, lower back pain in diseases of the heart and lungs. This is the in-depth investigation.
After the Patient is diagnosed, it usually prescribe medication, the pain in the lower back, the normalization of blood circulation and nerve tissue repair. This tablets, gels, ointments or injections, the inflammation and convulsions.
Surgical Intervention is usually necessary if the diagnosis of a herniated disk, is the complication of osteochondrosis. Hernia that presses on the nerve root, remove it, it is restored, and the pain will pass with time.
At best, the spine and muscles relax when you sleep on your mattress by you under the knee with a small pillow. Here, bed rest should not last too long, because it carries with it the weakening of the muscles that the Problem only worsen. Even with strong pain, you should try to save at least a weak level of physical activity.
