The back hurts: what to do?

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

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

  • spine diseases;
  • Ernia (protrusion in the canal where the spinal cord is located);
  • back diseases;
  • Benign and oncological tumors;
  • damage to the internal organs;
  • sedentary lifestyle;
  • Excessive physical activity.

Variety of back pain and possible causes

We consider the options for the location of pain and the possible causes of their appearance in more detail.

In the area of the lower back

Very often, elderly people suffer from such pains.The main reason is the local inflammatory process.Disease manifestations:

  • After a certain distance traveled, the pain appears in the back and gives it to the leg;
  • With further load, unpleasant sensations increase;
  • Legs of the legs;
  • The pain is raised if you fold your back.

The causes of back pain over the lower back can be recognized by analyzing the nature of the sensations.For example, which surrounds the pain, which focuses under the ribs on 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:

  • rupture of cysts in women;
  • Remains of the kidneys;
  • Inflammation of the ureter;
  • Acute intestinal diseases.

In the lumbar region on the right

Pull the pain in the right side can speak:

  • oncology;
  • Mosite;
  • scoliosis;
  • Passing through the vertebrae of the degenerative processes.

The severe, acute and acute pain above the lower back appears after serious hypothermia, injuries, with appendicitis, hernia, inflammatory process.In this area, the Reni pathology hurts, when the fluid is not completely excreted by the body.Acute pain can indicate urolitiasis and bile calculations disease.

Above the lower part of the back on the right, it also hurts (sculptures, burning) with:

  • Cifosis;
  • scoliosis;
  • Inflammation of the nerve roots of the spinal cord;
  • bone form of tuberculosis;
  • Osteomiele.

With damage to the spine, not only does he suffer, but also the muscles in this area.

In the area of the lower back to the left

The painful pain on the left side, which does not even go to rest that occurs when walking, and with physical tension and when you run and after a long journey or at the end of the working day.If it does not pass after rest, the reasons could be:

  • osteochondrosis;
  • scoliosis;
  • Compromised blood circulation;
  • Infectious injury of the spinal column.

If it hurts when walking and passes after rest, this can be caused by the radicalitis, a movement of the spine, the diabetes mellitus (in the phase when it affects the joints) and a pinching of the nervous root.

The painful pain on the left, above the lumbar region, occurs between employees, teachers and other people with a sedentary lifestyle.This can indicate the beginning of the osteocondrosis, bad posture and recent hypothermia.

Important!The acute pain that surrounds the left scapula can be a symptom of myocardial infarction.

The stomach ulcer "gives" here.The nature of the pain is seam.

Muscle pain in the back

Localized in the lower part of the back, accompanied by muscle overvoltage.It appears very often in the morning or after rest, after prolonged muscle relaxation.If the muscles are loaded for a long time, the pain gradually increases.The reasons for its appearance:

  • Acute lifting of gravity;
  • overwront due to the session work, uncomfortable and/or incorrect position;
  • Hypothermia (constant pain, cutting of pain, it is difficult to straighten the back).

Nervo Pizzicato

Very often, the sciatic nerve is pinched (the disease is called "ISHIAS") for osteochondosis, the spasms muscles are crushed by the nerve.In this case, it can hurt in the back area and the lower back, sacred, neck.The pain caused by the pinch of the nerve is often administered in the leg, buttocks.Their other causes are distinguished: spasms of pear -shaped muscles, late pregnancy (pain can speak of the threat of spontaneous abortion!), Infection, movement of the intervertebral disc, narrowing of the vertebral canal.

Intervertebral hernia

The symptoms of the pathology include:

  • loss of sensitivity of the toes and weapons;
  • pain that gives to the arm or shoulder;
  • Pain that gives a leg or a buttock.

The last two symptoms differ in the location of an hernia.

The most common cause of Arnia is the deformation of the intervertebral discs associated with a disturbed metabolism.The disc is drying, dehydrated, it loses elasticity.As a result, it protrudes and the distance between the vertebrae decreases.With an acute load and active physical exercises, hernia can also be formed.

In the area of the blades

The Scapola is a triangular combined bone located near the shoulder bone and the clavicle.The muscles that are responsible for the movements in the shoulder area are attached to it.The types of pain under medical shoulder blades are divided into different groups:

  • By nature - acute, tie rod, button, painful, as well as burning, etc.;
  • For localization - Under the right spatula from the back from the back, in the middle, on the left, between the ribs, giving the chest;
  • In terms of duration - with a strong debut, periodically source, intenseifying or decreasing - the value also has how long the attack lasts.

The main reasons:

  • The reflective syndrome with shovel (painful or severe pain in the shoulder, under the scapula or above it, can cover the entire shoulder and part of the sternum, is accompanied by crunch when the shoulder or hand rotates);
  • The ulcer of the stomach (painful pain, the opaque pain that increases or weakens after taking drugs is more often located on the left, accompanied by burning of stomach, nausea, vomiting);
  • osteochondrosis (painful pain, accompanied by a compromised visual function, dizziness, radiant pain in the hands);
  • Intercostal neuralgia (intensifies with long paths, deep breath, cough, severe physical activity, sudden movements, sneezing);
  • Angina Pectoris (the attack begins with pain in the middle of the chest, which spread rapidly and gives itself under the scapula to the left, to the spine, under the clavicle to the left).

Which doctor to contact?

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

Osteocondrosis: the danger of the disease

The main manifestation of osteochondrosis are the degenerative processes that take place in the vertebrae and intervertebral discs.The pathology can be located in the neck, chest and in the lower back.

Signs and reasons

Consider how the pathology is manifested and why it appears.

Symptoms of osteochondrosis:

  • The main symptoms for osteochondrosis are pain.It can be acute, intensify when it moves, force the patient to take unnatural poses in which he does not hurt.There is also constant, moderately intense and opaque pain.
  • A feeling of fatigue in the back.
  • Stock when the limbs move.

The danger of the disease is that it is "masked" for other pathologies.Due to the compression of the nerve roots, muscle cramps occur, etc.Is often confused with:

  • gastritis and other gastrointestinal lesions;
  • Miosite muscles;
  • Angina Pectoris;
  • Renal colic.

With a combined lesion of different nerve roots with osteochondrosis, root syndrome may appear.

Diagnostics

The disease is diagnosed in different stages:

  • Collect an anamnesis, study the patient's complaints, the story of his illness;
  • Patient examination, evaluation of the pace, position of the body, condition of the skin, symmetry of two sides of the body, volume of movements, etc.;
  • X -The separately each vertebral column, functional radiography can be prescribed;
  • Computerized tomography - direct images of one or two parts of the spine;
  • View of magnetic resonance imaging of nerve processes, vases, intervertebral discs.

Who is a neurologist who 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 the fulfillment of the relationship between them.The inflammation of the spinal cord and the brain also falls into the area of the specialist.

That controls:

  • a feeling of location in space, coordination of movements;
  • Tactile and temperature sensitivity;
  • a feeling of pressure on the body by putting different weight objects;
  • the ability to be posing of Romberg;
  • Reflections of the skin and tendon;
  • the strength of the muscles of the limbs;
  • The indication samples (for example, touches the tip of the nose with the finger).

What symptoms contact a specialist?

You need to contact a neurologist if you have the following symptoms:

  • convulsions, loss of consciousness;
  • sudden dizziness;
  • shaking and uncertain pace;
  • headache more often once a week;
  • visual function compromised against the background of headaches, vomiting, nausea, leap to blood pressure;
  • vision loss (transitory);
  • muscle weakness, which increases and does not restore;
  • trembling in the legs and arms;
  • slow reactions;
  • rigidity in the body;
  • Pain in the back, arms, legs, shoulders;
  • Deterioration of memory;
  • Sensitivity of reduced skin, tingling, numbness;
  • insomnia or excessive sleepiness;
  • a change in the perception of taste and smell;
  • Fear attacks, panic, tachycardia, chills, heat for no reason.

How does a neurologist differ from a neuropathologist?

The neuropathologist studies the pathological morphology of the nervous system and the nerve diseases of the neurologist.

Back pain treatment

Consider a list of the main methods for the treatment of back pain:

  • manual therapy;
  • products for surgical treatment (in emergency cases);
  • physiotherapy;
  • therapeutic block (paintings injections with prolonged effects);
  • Spinal extension - dry and in water;
  • take drugs;
  • Operating therapy;
  • massages;
  • Isometric relaxation of the muscles.

Exercise from back pain

To stretch the spine and strengthen the muscle corset that keeps posture, it is useful to do the following exercises.They can be performed if you have not had back injuries.

  • Vis on a horizontal bar at least 30 seconds a day.
  • Lie on the back on a gym carpet.Press the shoulder blades on the floor, fold the legs on their knees.Take your knees on the right as much as possible until they touch the floor and then - left.

Important!The exercises cannot be done with pain syndrome.If it occurs suddenly during training, it is necessary to stop gymnastics.

  • Get up, put the shoulder of the feet at a distance.Hands - On the belt.We make circular movements clockwise and vice versa.10 times in each direction.
  • "Boat".Lie on the stomach, stretch your hands.Subsequently, we fold the body so that the chest, head and legs move from the floor.Repeat 15 times, lingering for 1-2 seconds at the point at the top.
  • Stay on four legs, straight arms, a little in front of the head.We bring the pelvis back and forth, touching the heels.Repeat 10 times.
  • To get closer to the wall, press with a pelvis, heel, neck, shoulder blades.Stay for 1 minute, increasing the time every day, until you reach 10 minutes.
  • Lie on the stomach, stretch your arms forward, keep your legs united.In turn, we raise a straight leg up to the maximum height, without leaning out on the knee.Delay at the top for 1-2 seconds.Inferior.Repeat with another foot.Make 10 times for each leg.
