Back injury: What should I do?

Every year, spinal and muscle diseases in the back are “young”.Even the teenagers of our time face various problems, not to mention the elderly.Diagnosis plays an important role in treating pain.It is necessary to find the cause of the disease, and only such effective treatment is possible.

The main reasons why a person suffers from back pain are:

• Spine disease;
• hernia (protruding in the passageway where the spinal cord is located);
• back disease;
• benign and tumor tumors;
• Damage to internal organs;
• A sedentary lifestyle;
• Excessive physical exercise.

Breeds and possible causes of back pain

Let's consider the choice of pain positioning and its appearance reasons in more detail.

On the lower back

In most cases, older people suffer this pain.The main reason is the local inflammatory process.The symptoms of this disease:

• After a certain distance of travel, the pain appears on the back and sends it to the legs.
• With further loading, unpleasant feelings increase;
• The standard of the legs;
• If you bend over, the pain will relieve.

The causes of upper back pain in the lower back can be identified by analyzing the nature of the sensation.For example, surrounding pain, which is concentrated under the ribs on the left and is accompanied by intestinal diseases, high body temperature, vomiting, nausea, and talking about pancreatitis.

Acute pain in the lower back with:

• Cyst rupture in females;
• Kidney stones;
• ureter inflammation;
• Acute intestinal disease.

On the right waist area

Pulling pain on the right side may be discussed:

• Oncology;
• myosite;
• scoliosis;
• The vertebrae that delivers the degenerate process.

After severe hypothermia, injury, appendicitis, hernia, and inflammation, strong, sharp, acute pain in the upper lower back appears.In this area, when the fluid is not completely excreted into the body, it can be injured by the pathology of the kidneys.Acute pain may indicate urea disease and gallstone disease.

On the lower back on the right, it also hurts (carved, burns):

• Kyphosis;
• scoliosis;
• Inflammation of spinal cord nerve roots;
• The bone form of tuberculosis;
• Osteophthalmia.

The spine was damaged, not only did he suffer himself, but his muscles in the area were also damaged.

On the lower back on the left

Pain on the left side is painful, even when walking, the body is nervous, running, long trips or at the end of a workday.If you fail to pass after rest, the reasons may be:

• Osteochondrosis;
• scoliosis;
• Impaired blood circulation;
• Infectious lesions of the spine.

If you get injured when walking and passing after rest, then this may be due to radiation inflammation, the displacement of the spine, the displacement of diabetes (the stage when it affects the joints), and the pinching of nerve roots.

Left pain on the left side pain occurs among office staff, teachers and others with a sedentary lifestyle.This may indicate the onset of osteochondrosis, malpositions and recent hypothermia.

Important!Acute, surrounding pain can cause it to the left shoulder chest and may be a symptom of myocardial infarction.

Gastric ulcers are "given" here.The nature of pain is in suture.

Back muscle pain

Located on the lower back and accompanied by muscle overpressure.After prolonged muscle relaxation, it usually appears in the morning or after rest.If the muscles load for a long time, the pain gradually increases.Reasons for occurrence:

• The severity has increased dramatically;
• Over-engineered due to sitting work, uncomfortable and/or incorrect posture;
• Hypothermia (continuous pain, pain, and it is difficult to straighten your back).

Pinch the nerve

Most commonly, the sciatic nerve is pinched (the disease is called "isias") and is used for osteochondrosis where muscles in spasms are squeezed by nerves.In this case, it may be injured in the back and lower back, ac bones, and areas of the neck.The hips usually give pain caused by nerve clips.Other causes of them are distinguished: spasms of pear-shaped muscles, late pregnancy (pain can talk about the threat of miscarriage!), infection, displacement of the intervertebral disc, shrinking of vertebral passages.

Vertebral hernia

Pathological symptoms include:

• Loss of sensitivity to toes and arms;
• pain to the arms or shoulders;
• Pain caused by legs or hips.

The last two symptoms differ in the positioning of the hernia.

The most common cause of hernia is that deformation of the intervertebral disc is associated with perturbation metabolism.The disk is drying, dehydrating, losing elasticity.As a result, it protrudes and the distance between the vertebrae decreases.Hernia can also be formed through rapid load and active body movement.

In the blade area

The shoulder blade is a triangular bone located near the shoulder bone and clavicle.The muscles responsible for the movement of the shoulder area are connected to it.There are several groups of pain types under the shoulder blade bone:

• Essentially - sharp, pulling, pulsating, sore and burning, etc.;
• By localization - from the back, middle, left, between the ribs from the back, the ribs extend toward the chest toward the chest;
• In terms of duration - debut, appear regularly, exacerbate or decrease - the value also has an attack persistence.

main reason:

• Spatula reflex syndrome (shoulder blade or shoulder pain or severe pain above it can cover the entire shoulder and part of the sternum, accompanied by tightening when the shoulder or hand rotates);
• Gastric ulcer (pain after taking medication, the pain will increase or decrease, and the left side is more often located on the left side, accompanied by heartburn, nausea, vomiting);
• osteocartilage (pain pain, accompanied by impaired visual function, dizziness, and pain in the hands);
• Intercostal neuralgia (intensified with long steps, deep breathing, coughing, severe physical exercise, sudden exercise, sneezing);
• Angina (the attack begins with pain in the middle of the chest, which spreads rapidly in the middle of the chest and below the shoulder blade on the left to the spine, below the clavicle on the left).

Which doctor should I contact?

For back pain, you should contact your neurologist.The doctor will prescribe diagnostic measures based on your clinical situation.

Osteochondrosis: The dangers of disease

The main manifestation of osteocartilage degeneration is the degeneration process of vertebrae and intervertebral disc.Pathology can be positioned on the neck, chest and lower back.

Signs and causes

Consider how pathology manifests and why it occurs.

Symptoms of osteochondrosis:

• The main symptom of osteochondrosis is pain.It can be acute and exacerbates when moving, forcing the patient to take an unnatural posture that is not harming.There is also continuous, moderate tension, dull pain.
• The feeling of fatigue on the back.
• Stocks when moving limbs.

The danger of the disease is that it is "masked" other pathology.Due to compression of nerve roots, muscle spasms occur.Usually with:

• gastritis and other gastrointestinal lesions;
• Myositis muscles;
• Angina pectoris;
• Renal colic.

In the binding lesions of several nerve roots, radical syndrome may occur.

diagnosis

The disease is diagnosed at several stages:

• Collect anatomy, study patient complaints, his disease history;
• Check the patient, assessment of gait, body position, skin condition, symmetry on both sides of the body, exercise volume, etc.;
• x-rays can be prescribed and radiography respectively;
• Computed tomography - a directional picture of one or two parts of the spine;
• Magnetic resonance imaging of neural processes, blood vessels, intervertebral discs - visualization.

Who is the neurologist he treats?

Neurologists engage in a disease of the nervous system, which is based on the invasion of nerve cells, the functions of neurons, and the functions that are weakened between them.Inflammation in the spinal cord and brain also falls into the expert area.

examine:

• The feeling of positioning in space, the coordination of movement;
• Tactile and temperature sensitivity;
• The pressure on the body by placing objects of different weights;
• The ability to stand in Roberg's posture;
• skin and tendon reflexes;
• The strength of the muscles of the limbs;
• Indicate the sample (for example, touch the tip of the nose with your finger).

What symptoms can you contact an expert?

If you have the following symptoms, you need to contact a neurologist:

• convulsions, loss of consciousness;
• Suddenly dizzy;
• Shaking, uncertain gait;
• A headache once a week;
• impaired visual function in headaches, vomiting, nausea, and blood pressure;
• vision loss (transient);
• Muscle weakness, increase, and do not recover;
• tremble on legs and arms;
• Slow reaction;
• Stiffness in the body;
• Pain in the back, arms, legs, shoulders;
• Memory deteriorates;
• Reduced skin sensitivity, tingling, and numbness;
• Insomnia or excessive sleepiness;
• perceived changes in taste and smell;
• Fear, panic, tachycardia attacks are chilling and hot for no reason.

How are neurologists and neuropathologists different?

Neuropathologists study pathological morphology and neurologists - neurological diseases.

Low back pain treatment

A list of main ways to consider treating back pain:

• Manual therapy;
• surgical treatment products (in emergency situations);
• physiotherapy;
• therapeutic block (injection of painkillers with long-term effects);
• Spinal extension - dry and in water;
• drug;
• exercise therapy;
• massage;
• Isometric relaxation of muscles.

Back pain exercise

To stretch your spine and strengthen the muscle corset that holds your posture, the following exercises are useful.If you don't have a back injury, you can perform them.

• On the horizontal bar at least 30 seconds a day.
• Lying on the gymnastics carpet.Press the shoulder blade on the floor and bend your legs to your knees.Hold your knees as far as possible until they touch the floor, then - to the left.

Important!No exercise can be done with pain syndrome.If it happens suddenly during training, you need to stop the gymnastics.

• Stand up and separate your feet and shoulders.Hands - belt.We perform circular motion clockwise and vice versa.10 times in each direction.
• "Boat".Lying on your stomach, stretching your hands straight.Next, we bend our bodies so that our chest, head and legs fall off the floor.Repeat 15 times, hovering around the highest point for 1-2 seconds.
• Stand on four limbs, straight arms, in front of your head.We fell down our pelvis and touched their heels.Repeat 10 times.
• To get close to the wall, press it on it with your pelvis, high heels, nasal neck, and shoulder blade.Stand for 1 minute, increasing the time every day until you reach 10 minutes.
• Lie on your belly, stretch your arms forward and keep your legs together.In turn, we raise a straight leg to maximum height without bending.On top for 1-2 seconds.reduce.Repeat with the other foot.Do it 10 times per leg.
