The back hurts: what to do?

Diseases of the spine and the muscles of the back become "younger" every year.Even young people in our time are with various problems, not to mention older people.The diagnosis plays an important role in treating pain.It is necessary to find the cause of the disease, only then is effective therapy possible.

Back pain in a girl1

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

  • Spinal diseases;
  • Hernie (lead in the channel in which the spinal cord is located);
  • Back diseases;
  • benign and oncological tumors;
  • Damage to the internal organs;
  • sitting lifestyle;
  • Excessive physical activity.

Varieties of back pain and possible causes

We take into account the options for the localization of pain and the possible causes of your appearance.

In the area of the lower back

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

  • After a certain distance, pain occurs in the back and gives it to the leg;
  • Unpleasant sensations are increasing if they are burdened;
  • Norm of legs;
  • The pain is relieved if you bend your back.

The causes of back pain above the lower back can be recognized by analyzing the type of sensations.For example, the pain that is concentrated under the ribs and goes into the lower back speaks, accompanied by intestinal disorders, high body temperature, vomiting, nausea, of pancreatitis.

Acute pain in the lower back are with:

  • Cysten break in women;
  • Kidney stones;
  • Inflammation of the ureter;
  • Acute intestinal diseases.

In the lumbar region on the right

Pulling pain on the right can talk about it:

  • Oncology;
  • Mysosite;
  • Scoliosis;
  • In the vertebrae of the degenerative processes.

Strong, sharp, acute pain above the lower back appears after severe hypothermia, injuries, with appendicitis, hernia and inflammatory processes.In this area it hurts with the pathology of the kidneys if the liquid is not completely excreted from the body.Acute pain can indicate urolithiasis and gallstone diseases.

Above the lower back to the right it also hurts (carvings, burning) with:

  • Kyphosis;
  • Scoliosis;
  • Inflammation of the nerve roots of the spinal cord;
  • Bone shape of tuberculosis;
  • Osteomyel.

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

In the area of the lower back on the left

The painful pain in the left side, which does not even occur in peace when walking, with physical tension and when running and after a long journey or at the end of the working day.If it does not go on after rest, the reasons can be:

  • Osteochondrosis;
  • Scoliosis;
  • Impairment of blood circulation;
  • Infectious lesion of the spine.

If it hurts while walking and comes by calm, this can be caused by radiculitis, a shift in the spine, diabetes mellitus (in the stage when it affects the joints) and a clamping of the nerve root.

The painful pain on the left, above the lumbar region, occurs in office workers, teachers and other people with a sitting lifestyle.This can indicate the beginning of osteochondrosis, the poor posture and the latest hypothermia.

Important!Acute, circled pain that gives the left shoulder blade can be a symptom for a myocardial infarction.

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

Muscle pain in the back

Localized in the lower back, accompanied by muscle overvoltage.Very often appears in the morning or after calm after a long muscle relaxation.When the muscles are loaded for a long time, the pain gradually increases.The reasons for his appearance:

  • sharp severity;
  • Cution due to sitting work, uncomfortable and/or wrong attitude;
  • Hypothermia (constant pain, cut pain, it is difficult to straighten your back).

Pinched nerve

Most of the time, the sciatic nerve for osteochondrosis is pinched (the disease is referred to as "Ishias"), the muscles are pressed in cramps.In this case, it can hurt in the area of the rear and lower back, pregnancy, neck.Pain caused by a pinch of the nerve are often given in the leg, buttocks.Your other causes are differentiated: cramps of the pears led by pears, late pregnancy (pain can talk about the risk of miscarriages!), Infection, shift in the intervertebral disc and narrowing of the vertebral canal.

Intermediate hernia

The symptoms of the pathology include:

  • Loss of the sensitivity of the toes and arms;
  • Pain that gives the arm or shoulder;
  • Pain that gives a leg or buttocks.

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

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

In the area of the blades

The shoulder blade is a triangular pair of bones, which is located near the shoulder bone and the keybone.The muscles responsible for movements in the shoulder zone are attached to it.Types of pain under the shoulder blades in medicine are divided into several groups:

  • By nature - sharp, pull, pulsating, painful and burning, etc.;
  • by localization - under the right spatula from behind from behind in the middle between the ribs that give the chest;
  • With regard to the duration - with a sharp debut that arises regularly, increases or decreasing - the value also has how much the attack takes.

The main reasons:

  • Schaubel reflecting syndrome (painful or severe pain in the shoulder, under the shoulder blade or above, can cover the entire shoulder and part of the chest, is accompanied by crunch when the shoulder or hand turns);
  • Gastric ulcer (painful, blunt pain that increase or weaken after taking medication is more likely to localize on the left, accompanied by heartburn, nausea, vomiting);
  • Osteochondrosis (painful pain, accompanied by impaired visual function, dizziness, radiant pain in the hands);
  • Intercostal neuralgia (increases with long walking, deep breath, coughing, severe physical activity, sudden movements, sneezing);
  • Angina Pectoris (the attack begins with pain in the middle of the chest, which spread quickly and under the shoulder blade on the left, for spine under the wreaths on the left).

Which doctor should you contact?

You should contact a neurologist with back pain.The doctor prescribes diagnostic measures based on your clinical picture.

Osteochondrosis: The risk of disease

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

Signs and reasons

Think about how the pathology manifests itself and why it appears.

Symptoms of osteochondrosis:

  • The main symptoms for osteochondrosis are pain.It can be acutely to intensify when they move to force the patient to make unnatural poses in which it does not harm.There are also constant, moderately intense, blunt pain.
  • A feeling of tiredness in the back.
  • Existed when moving limbs.

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

  • Gastritis and other stomach lesions;
  • Myositis muscles;
  • Angina Pectoris;
  • Renal colic.

With a combined lesion of several nerve roots with osteochondrosis, radicular syndrome can occur.

Diagnosis

The disease is diagnosed in several stages:

  • Collecting an anamnesis, examines the patient's symptoms, the history of his illness;
  • Examination of the patient, evaluation of the course, body position, skin condition, symmetry of two sides of the body, volume of movement, etc.;
  • X -Ray separately Each spine can be prescribed functional radiography;
  • Computer tomography - direction of pictures of one or two parts of the spine;
  • Magnetic resonance-image visualization of nerve processes, vessels, intervertebral windows.

Who is a neurologist he treats?

The neurologist deals with diseases of the nervous system 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 into the area of the specialist.

This checked:

  • A feeling of localization in space, coordination of movements;
  • Tactile and temperature sensitivity;
  • A feeling of pressure on the body by placing objects of different weights;
  • the ability to stand in the pose of Romberg;
  • Skin and tendon reflexes;
  • The strength of the muscles of the limbs;
  • Prohes (for example, touch the tip of the nose with your finger).

What symptoms to contact a specialist?

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

  • Cramps, loss of consciousness;
  • sudden dizziness;
  • shaky, insecure;
  • Headache more often a week;
  • Impaired visual function against the background of headaches, vomiting, nausea, blood pressure jump;
  • Visual loss (transient);
  • Muscle weakness that increases and does not restore;
  • Tremors in the legs and arms;
  • slow reactions;
  • Stiffness in the body;
  • Pain in the back, arms, legs, shoulders;
  • Storage deterioration;
  • Reduced skin sensitivity, tingling, deafness;
  • Insomnia or excessive sleepiness;
  • a change in the perception of taste and smell;
  • Attacks of fear, panic, tachycardia, chills, heat for no reason.

How does a neurologist differ from a neuropathologist?

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

Treatment of back pain

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

  • manual therapy;
  • Surgical treatment products (in emergencies);
  • Physiotherapy;
  • Therapeutic blockade (injections of pain relievers with longer effects);
  • Spine expansion - dry and in water;
  • To take drugs;
  • Training therapy;
  • Massages;
  • After isometric relaxation of the muscles.

Movement of back pain

In order to stretch the spine and strengthen the muscle corset that keeps your attitude, it is useful to do the following exercises.They can be carried out if they had no back injuries.

  • Vis on a horizontal bar at least 30 seconds a day.
  • Lie on a gymnastics carpet on your back.Press the shoulder blades onto the floor and bend your legs in your knees.Take your knees to the right as far as possible until you touch the floor and then to the left.

Important!Exercises cannot be carried out with pain syndrome.If it suddenly occurs during training, you have to set the gymnastics.

  • Get up, put your feet shoulder apart.Hands - on the belt.We make circular movements clockwise and vice versa.10 times in every direction.
  • "Boat".Place on your stomach, stretch your hands up.Next we bend the body so that the chest, head and legs fall off the ground.Repeat 15 times and linger 1-2 seconds at the upper point.
  • Stand on all fours, straight arms, a little in front of the head.We take the pool back and down and touch the heels.Repeat 10 times.
