The various back pain and discomfort lately, not only the elderly, but also young people. Explains what is the position of a sharp decrease in the motor activity, decreased immunity, an unhealthy lifestyle. As a result they are suffering all the vital organs of the human including the spinal column.
Unlimited access own countrymen to medicines even more aggravates the situation, instead, to do sports and constantly monitor their health, most of the people take pain killers and on their treatment ends. As a result, with time, there are major problems, the treatment of the disease over a prolonged time and is much more expensive. Back pain, down the leg, can become a cause of disability with a partial or total loss of ability to work. But even in minor cases, lower considerably the quality of life of the patients.
Because there is the lower back pain, pain that radiates to the leg
Without understanding the causes of the disease it is not possible to take adequate decisions. And the cause of the formation of pain can be understood only after that will clear the structure of the lumbar spine.
Often, the cause of this pain is swelling bundle of nerves coming from the spine. The nerves are in a certain shoulder, it allows to move on foot. Swelling highly compresses the nerves, are constantly working and sending signals to the pathological degree in the brain. Reacts upon them, and to reduce to a minimum the risks of further nerve compression of the opening makes the movements painful, in this way it attempts to block the development of the disease.
Triggers a mechanism of self-preservation of the body, man does it hurt to walk, try to spend more time in a state of rest. Peace gives the opportunity to the body to eliminate swelling and restore the vertebrae in a physiological condition. Accordingly, decreases or disappears entirely with swelling, the nerves are not blocked, worrying signals to the brain do not arrive, it does not send the pulses of pain, the patient can move without problems.
But it only happens in those cases, when the body through the mobilization of internal resources able to eliminate the cause of the edema without medical assistance. Unfortunately, it is not always the case, often without special treatment bloating does not pass. There are a lot of diseases, in which occurs the clinic.
The compression of the nerve endings
In the spine there is a large number of spinal roots, with their compression occur pain syndromes. Very often such a phenomenon has been observed in patients with osteochondrosis. The increase of the disease increase the sensation of pain, in more complex cases it is difficult to every movement.
Table. Forms of the disease
| The form of the disease | Clinical description |
|---|---|
| Muscle-toned | The nerve endings irritated the surrounding tissues, which because of various processes are changed. Tissue occupy the space where the nerve endings, which becomes the cause of the pain. Often the pains are aching in nature. |
| Vascular | Unpleasant sensation appear due to the development spasmodic syndrome. Muscle spasm can be caused the development of degenerative disc disease. The attack is sudden without apparent reason or appears after embarrassing rotations of the trunk, lifting weights, etc. there Are external causes – long stay in the same position, failed the strong rotations of the trunk, the lifting of excessive weight. |
| Taken | The foot not only hurts, but it numbs, stop tingling, you can feel strange the cold or heat. The case of long periods of pain, accelerates the heart rate, the skin of the face pales. |
| Mixed | The diagnosis is very frequent, in this description, the doctors have resorted to the inability to determine with precision the causes of the sore. |
What are the factors that increase the risk of disease
The back pain, which is transmitted in the lower leg, called sciatica. The disease has no clinical specificity, in a first moment it lets you do only the preliminary results.
There are several factors that increase the risk of disease
- Stay long in the foot, especially if the shoe has high heels. In this case, the lumbar hotel unnaturally bent, the load on the vertebrae increases, moderate intervertebral disks do not survive to load and change its configuration. By increasing the outer diameter of the sheath to shrink the nerve fibers that exit from the spinal column. The doctors recommend that you to predict the weather for the rest of the spinal column, sit down, change shoes, make a small charge to strengthen the muscles of the back. A strong muscular system, standing for a long time to maintain the weight of a person, because of what decreases the load on the vertebrae.
- Pregnancy and excess weight. During pregnancy not only increases the weight of a woman, but unnatural and bend the vertebrae. If in this period you carefully follow the advice of doctors, all unpleasant sensations disappear after the delivery and only.
- Professional sports activities or heavy physical work. The load must be agreed with the individual capabilities.
- The defects of the pathology, and the development of the vertebral column. As the disease may grow and reach the critical values. The curvature of the spine often occurs due to calcium deficiency in a growing body. It is absorbed by the body only in the presence of vitamin D, which is formed under the influence of ultraviolet rays. Conclusion – mobile lifestyle, regular and long staying in the open, significantly reduces the likelihood of disease.
- Protrusion of the intervertebral discs, hernia, deforming the lower back pain. These diseases often cause the onset of back pain, that give way. Just after the birth of their symptoms most of the patients are sent to hospital, and only there learns of his true diagnosis.
The symptoms
The main symptom is pain and limited movement. When you change the position of the body, only the intensity increases, the reduction of the discomfort occurs only when it is full of the peace of the patient. When you walk the pain increases to such an extent that the foot is difficult to move, sick all the time pulls behind itself. If the status is running, then change the posture, the patient bends forward and a little curved.
The doctors claim that it is a benign condition and is not reborn in oncological diseases. During the timely treatment very optimistic forecast, but the progress of the disease you should avoid. Compared to before starting treatment, the less is the time needed to obtain a positive result.
At the first appearance it is recommended that you reduce the physical load and limit the number of glasses of liquid. If, within three-four days, the pain does not disappears, then it is necessary to contact a health-care facility.
Particular attention is required to treat his condition, if such phenomena have appeared after various injuries of the spine, are accompanied by a fever, redness of the skin in the lower part of the back. The deterioration of the sensitivity of the feet and the organs of the pelvis, the non-emission of urine and emptying of the colon serve as a signal for immediate, complete control of the state of health in stationary conditions.
Diagnostics
During the first visit the physician recognizes the patient on the time of appearance of the first pains, possible causes, and the dynamics of change of state. The disease is not considered to be a local disease, and requires you to treat the causes. The patient mandatory for the examinations, magnetic resonance or ct scan. Only with a clear view hit the hearth, gives the possibility to the physician to make a correct diagnosis and develop a more effective treatment regimen.
How it is hooked to the pain
Persistent or recurring pain to create a large number of problems for humans and significantly reduce the quality of his life. Treatment for the root cause of the disease is recommended only after the elimination of pain, these recommendations gives the modern world of medicine. But any manipulation of the spinal column is strictly forbidden to do without an examination at the faculty of hardware, allows the doctors to see visually impressive fireplace and make the right decision. The most modern equipment to make the three-dimensional image, which completely eliminates the risk of error. Of course, if the doctor has the professional knowledge.
Cupping is done only in a healthcare facility, in the home are introduced to two medications: a local anesthetic to relieve the pain and the hydrocortisone for therapeutic effect. Hydrocortisone relieves inflammation and swelling and promotes complete healing.
As it happens relief
- Preparation of the patient to the procedure. The patient lies down on a special table with the back upwards, iodine is sterilized in the operational space.
- A special unit is set so that the monitor was clearly visible in the area of drug delivery and the area of the pain.
- With constant monitoring of their actions, the doctor inserts in the problem place the needle of the syringe and takes the medication.
The back pain and the leg is held in a few minutes. Over the patient may be directed to pass other procedures of treatment and to live a full life.
Treatment
During an acute exacerbation of the symptoms the patient is advised bed rest, to relieve the severe pain is used different drugs. With the goal of reducing the swelling can limit the intake of liquids, if there are muscle spasms, are assigned to antispasmodics or muscle relaxants.
Unfortunately, this was the relief we rarely used. There are two reasons:
- is extremely low equipment of medical institutions with modern special equipment. For the relief need to have a new x-ray, that allows to perform all the operations online. Doctor on the monitor you not only see the affected area of the spine, but clearly controls all the movements of the needle of the syringe. If this observation does not take, great risks extremely negative consequences;
- preserved from the times of the USSR medical tradition, in which the patient pain is considered to be a natural state. In our country the anesthesiologist so far involved only during the execution of complex operations. The word anesthesia is translated as insensitivity, in developed countries, the time is used to relieve the suffering of the sick not only during operations but also during normal treatment. Live without pain – the motto of all the developed countries the clinical. Following this slogan, to them the slightest possibility of pain in a safe way to cease, regardless of their location and have generated the causes. Only in this diseased state of the indicators is followed by an additional treatment.
Physiotherapy
Medical science recommend of massage, reiki, mud, bath, vitamins, curative physical education. All the procedures help to improve the flow of blood in the direction of pathology of organs. Improvement of blood circulation, stimulates the regenerative processes of the tissues, promotes the rapid development of the muscles of the spine. But all procedures can be performed after relieving the acute symptoms of the disease.
The surgical treatment
It is used in extreme cases, when medical therapy has proven its inefficiency, or there are major risks of a sharp deterioration of the conditions of the patient. In the course of an operation damaged disks are deleted partially or completely.
Prevention
Tips do not stand out for the originality – conduct a healthy lifestyle and make a tonic for physical education or any sport. The load has to adapt, taking into account age and sex, it does not point to great results, and put the purpose of improving health. It is recommended that you constantly monitor your posture, if necessary, correct the detected deviations.
With regard to the remedies popular in the world there cases, with the help of red clay was able to completely replace damaged spinal column, no confirmation of the efficacy of tea in the birch kidneys, alleviate pain, black radishes, the juice of agave, etc. remember that the use of such funds leads to delays in time to visit a doctor, the disease progresses, the treatment requires a greater amount of time and financial resources.
