The back hurts: What to do?

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

Back pain in a girl1

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

  • column diseases;
  • hernia (protrusion in the channel where the spinal cord is located);
  • Return diseases;
  • benign and oncological tumors;
  • damage to internal organs;
  • sedentary lifestyle;
  • Excessive physical activity.

Varieties of back pain and possible causes

Consider in more detail the options for the location of pain and the possible causes of its appearance.

In the lower back area

Most of the time, older people suffer such pain.The main reason is the local inflammatory process.Manifestations of the disease:

  • After it toured a certain distance, the pain appears on the back and gives it to the leg;
  • With more load, unpleasant sensations increase;
  • Leg rule;
  • The pain relieves if his back bends.

The causes of back pain above the lower back can be recognized by analyzing the nature of the sensations.For example, the border pain, which is concentrated under the ribs on the left and enters the lower back, accompanied by intestinal disorder, high body temperature, vomiting, nausea, talks about pancreatitis.

Acute pain in the lower back is associated with:

  • Rupture of cysts in women;
  • Riñones stones;
  • Ureter inflammation;
  • Acute intestinal diseases.

In the lumbar region to the right

Pulling pain on the right side can talk about:

  • oncology;
  • myosis;
  • scoliosis;
  • passing in the vertebrae of degenerative processes.

Strong, sharp and acute pain above the lower back appears after severe hypothermia, injuries, with appendicitis, hernia, inflammatory process.In this area, it hurts with the pathology of the kidneys, when the fluid is not completely excreted from the body.Acute pain may indicate urolitiasis and bile stone disease.

Above the lower right, also hurts (sizes, burning) with:

  • kyphosis;
  • scoliosis;
  • inflammation of the nerve roots of the spinal cord;
  • bone form of tuberculosis;
  • Osteomel.

With column damage, not only does he suffer, but also the muscles of this area.

In the lower part of the left

The painful pain on the left side, which does not even happen at rest that occurs when walking, and with physical tension, and when running, and after a long trip or at the end of the working day.If it does not happen after the break, the reasons can be:

  • osteochondrosis;
  • scoliosis;
  • deteriorated blood circulation;
  • Infectious lesion of the spine.

If it hurts when walking and passes after the break, this can be caused by radiculitis, a column displacement, diabetes mellitus (on stage when it affects the joints) and a pinch of the nerve root.

The painful pain on the left, above the lumbar region, occurs among office workers, teachers and other people with a sedentary lifestyle.This may indicate the beginning of osteochondrosis, bad posture and recent hypothermia.

Important!The acute and rolling pain that gives to the left shoulder blade can be a symptom of myocardial infarction.

The stomach ulcer "gives" here.The nature of pain is sewing.

Muscle pain on the back

Located in the lower back, accompanied by muscular survival.Very often appears in the morning or after rest, after prolonged muscle relaxation.If the muscles are loaded for a long time, then the pain gradually increases.The reasons for your appearance:

  • acute elevation of gravity;
  • excess stress due to the work of sitting, an uncomfortable and/or incorrect posture;
  • Hypothermia (constant pain, cutting pain, it is difficult to straighten the back).

Pellizado nerve

Most of the time, the sciatic nerve is pinch (the disease is called "ishias") for osteochondrosis, the muscles in the spasms are squeezed by the nerve.In this case, it can hurt in the back and back area, sacrum, neck.The pain caused by nerve pinchs often occurs in the leg, buttocks.Its other causes are distinguished: spasms of the pear -shaped muscles, late pregnancy (pain can talk about the threat of spontaneous abortion!), Infection, displacement of the intervertebral disc, narrowing of the vertebral channel.

Intervertebral hernia

The symptoms of pathology include:

  • loss of sensitivity of fingers and arms;
  • pain that gives the arm or shoulder;
  • Pain that gives a leg or buttock.

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

The most common cause of hernia is the deformation of the intervertebral discs associated with a disturbed metabolism.The album is drying, dehydrated, loses elasticity.As a result, it stands out, and the distance between the vertebrae decreases.With acute load and active physical exercises, you can also form hernia.

In the area of the blades

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

  • By nature: sharp, pulling, pulsating, painful, as well as burned, etc.;
  • By location: 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, which arises periodically, intensifying or decreasing, the value also has how much the attack lasts.

The main reasons:

  • The reflective syndrome for the shovel (severe pain or pain on the shoulder, under the shoulder blade or above it, can cover the entire shoulder and part of the sternum, is accompanied by crunch when the shoulder or hand turns);
  • The stomach ulcer (pain pain, opaque pain that increases or weakens after taking drugs is more frequently located to the left, accompanied by heartburn, nausea, vomiting);
  • Osteochondrosis (painful pain, accompanied by a deteriorated visual function, dizziness, radiant pain in the hands);
  • Intercostal neuralgia (intensifies with a long walk, deep breathing, cough, serious physical activity, sharp, sneezing movements);
  • Angina pectoris (the attack begins with pain in the middle of the chest, which extends rapidly and given under the left -hand to the spine, under the clavicle to the left).

What doctor do you contact with?

With back pain, you must communicate with a neurologist.The doctor will prescribe diagnostic measures based on their clinical image.

Osteochondrosis: 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 on the neck, chest and lower back.

Signals and reasons

Consider how pathology manifests itself and why it appears.

Symptoms of osteochondrosis:

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

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

  • gastritis and other gastrointestinal lesions;
  • Myositis muscles;
  • angina pectoris;
  • renal colic.

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

Diagnosis

The disease is diagnosed in several stages:

  • collecting an anamnesis, studying the patient's complaints, the history of his illness;
  • Patient exam, march evaluation, body position, skin condition, symmetry of two sides of the body, volume of movements, etc.;
  • X -Ray separately each spine, functional radiography can be prescribed;
  • Computed tomography: directed images of one or two parts of the spine;
  • MRI-Visualization of images of nerve processes, vessels, intervertebral discs.

Who is a neurologist who treats?

The neurologist is dedicated to diseases of the nervous system, which is based on a violation of the function of nerve cells, neurons and the weakening of the relationship between them.The inflammation of the spinal cord and the brain also fall in the specialist area.

What verifies:

  • a feeling of location in space, coordination of movements;
  • tactile and temperature sensitivity;
  • a sensation of pressure on the body by placing objects of different weights;
  • the ability to stand in the Romberg pose;
  • Skin and tendons reflexes;
  • the force of the muscles of the extremities;
  • Indication samples (for example, touch the tip of the nose with the finger).

What symptoms contact a specialist?

You must communicate with a neurologist if you have the following symptoms:

  • seizures, loss of consciousness;
  • sudden dizziness;
  • Insecure and uncertain gait;
  • Headaches more frequently once a week;
  • Visual function deteriorated in the bottom of headaches, vomiting, nausea, jumps to 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, legs, shoulders;
  • Memory deterioration;
  • Sensitivity of reduced skin, tingling, numbness;
  • Excessive insomnia or drowsiness;
  • a change in the perception of flavor and smell;
  • Fear attacks, panic, tachycardia, chills, heat without reason.

How does a neurological neurologist differ?

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

Back pain treatment

Consider a list of the main methods to treat back pain:

  • manual therapy;
  • Surgical treatment products (in emergency cases);
  • physiotherapy;
  • Therapeutic block (analgesic injections with prolonged effects);
  • Spinal extension: dry and in water;
  • taking drugs;
  • Exercise therapy;
  • massages;
  • Post isometric relaxation of the muscles.

Back pain exercise

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

  • VIS in a horizontal bar at least 30 seconds per day.
  • Lie on your back on a gymnastic carpet.Press the shoulder blades to the floor, double the legs on the knees.Take the knees to the right as much as possible until they touch the floor and then, to the left.

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

  • Get up, put on the width of the shoulder of your feet.Hands: In the belt.We make circular movements in a script and vice versa.10 times in each address.
  • "Boat".Lie on your stomach, stretch your hands up.Then, we fold the body so that the chest, the head and legs leave the floor.Repeat 15 times, persistent for 1-2 seconds at the top point.
  • Stop on all fours, straight arms, a little in front of the head.We take the pelvis back and down, touching them on the heels.Repeat 10 times.
  • To approach the wall, press with a pelvis, heels, neck, shoulder blades.Present for 1 minute, increasing time every day, until it reaches 10 minutes.
  • Lie on your stomach, stretch your arms forward, keep your legs together.In turn, we raise a straight leg to the maximum height, without bending the knee.Stay at the top for 1-2 seconds.Lower.Repeat with another foot.Do 10 times for each leg.
