Nearly one out of every two people over the age of 16 to 18 years, regularly complains of sore back. In recent years the problems of steel are typical, even for teens, and the frequency of the complaints of the adults in the back pain grows and grows. When a doctor directs only one-fifth of them. Others prefer to "deal" with the forces of its own, leaning on medications for the pain and with the hope that the discomfort will be held to themselves.
Each would be worth to determine, so the back pain in your specific case, since this symptom is facing serious health problems.
The causes of painful sensations
The relatively young and healthy people, back pain usually from the problem of overloading. If they are the cause of dorsal pain, with complaints that doctors are directed 85% of the patients. It is not necessary to be a weightlifter, do physical labor in force the professional specificity, or be an enthusiastic country-garden work, to have back problems. Standing to be in the same position, for example, the use of the computer, provides the tension, that becomes the cause, why it hurts your back. The recommendations of the doctors lean on the back of the chair and him in his inside have reasons weighable. Heavy shopping bags that are transferred from a supermarket to the house, you can give the same effect.
Diagnosis of the back fatigue" in medical terminology does not exist. The pain you have mild nature, "null causes" and are peace treaties, and the correct operation of the seeding. More attention been given, if the feeling does not subside within two weeks, are accompanied by additional symptoms, or have a certain periodicity. To determine why the back is hurting, you need a hardware serial of the research and consultations of doctors of different specialties.
A compression fracture of
If we are to believe the data of the world health organization, up to 4% of the age of the patients, in whom the severe pain of back, suffering a compression fracture. Under this diagnostic involves the crack that is formed in vertebra without particularly strong external influence. This fracture occurs in older people; between young people of the age group he will tend to patients of osteoporosis of the spine. Decreased density of the bones is not opposed to gravity. The fracture may occur even under the influence of the own weight of the patient, and he did not notice it; only to note that the back hurts me, why is not clear. For this reason, the compression fractures of the traumatic consequences are not.
What to do if you suffer from back pain because of the damage, in detail, explains the doctor. The situation saves of rest, strict bed rest and medication course, able to reduce the pain.
The problem from the side of the spinal column
The osteochondrosis
It is a chronic disease, it can affect people of any age, social status, and sex. During the development of osteochondrosis of the height of the intervertebral of the unit is reduced, decreases the mobility of an entire department of the vertebral column, with the time appear the complications, not only for part of the range, but also on the part of the internal organs.
Spondylolisthesis
This disease suffer up to 7 % of the population. And here is a diagnosis of spondylolisthesis is quite rare: many of the sick until the last moment ignored the signs of acute pain arising in the lower part of the back. In principle, the disease can affect any department of the spine, but most often affects the fifth vrtebra back. Your foot is deformed, so that it begins to repere which is under him, bulging to the east towards the front or back. In a figurative sense, when the spondylolisthesis the spine ceases to resemble that of the post – it's more like the ladder.
The disease manifests itself in the fact that constantly suffers from back pain, the pain can spread on the buttocks, in some cases, in the lower extremities. However, if the disease is not too much is running, the feeling of not too sharp, which allows users to ignore.
Ankylosing spondylitis
He himself – the disease behtereva. Mainly affects men, and of any age. The female patients represent only 16 and 17 %. When spondylitis is swollen joints of the ligaments; the disease is of progressive character. It usually begins with the back, but if there is no response, that is to say, proper treatment, sufficiently extended quickly into the chest, and then – and cervical segments. That is to say, it will affect the entire back, if it hurts the waist, suddenly and all over the body is not left on the side.
The first symptoms are stiffness, lower division of the trunk, accompanied by the pronounced armbar syndrome. Note the tension of the entire spinal column from the muscles, which is permanent and not until the end of the falls, even during long periods of rest. Almost all patients suffering with pain on my thighs; with the time, the disease behtereva affects the connective tissue disorders of the cardiovascular system, the lungs and the kidneys. In medicine, describes cases, in which spondylitis were affected, even the eyes.
The herniated disc
This pathology of the intervertebral discs is very common. Most often the problem faced by the older people of 40 and more years, but it can also develop much earlier age. Contribute to the development of a hernia of the intervertebral discs can:
- the excess of weight , that in the last few years is the most common factor that causes;
- heavy physical work or training with weighting;
- the injury of the relevant department of the spine;
- prolonged sitting (especially if the place of work organized correctly, with the breach of orthopedics recommendations);
- triggers of the disease: dysplasia of the hip in childhood, scoliosis, osteochondrosis.
The mechanism of development of the hernia consists in the degeneration of tissue — like connective and muscle. It is not compatible with the muscularis of the cast in the spinal column begins to sink, discs simulat and squeezed by the border of a post. In consequence, the patient very painful back, especially in the time of weightlifting or turning in inclinavit is position. The pain is also reinforced through sneezing or coughing, bold, or unusual movements. Among the symptoms — numbness, tingling, or wattage of the feet, the crawling of him "goose bumps" and the others that are not too pleasant sensations.
Osteomyelitis
It is one of the most rare of causes, which hurts my back. Such diagnosis put only 0.01 % of patients who go to a doctor. Begins osteomyelitis due to penetration into the spinal column of infection, often is found with a blood flow of urinary channel. The cunning of the disease in which it develops little by little and in silence, about his disease, the patient learns, when the back pain and raises the temperature, sometimes to dangerous indicators.
However, it is worth mentioning: if you feel discomfort in the kidneys or in the shoulders, and the thermometer confirms that you are sick, this does not mean that you have osteomyelitis. The same clinical picture occurs in many infectious diseases – the same with the flu, for example. So if it really hurts my back, what to do, you need to resolve the doctor. Otherwise, you can begin to treat the infection of the spine while it is necessary to struggle with the more familiar of the disease.
The back pain may be strong and scoliosis, and sciatica (in your case, its intensity can crescere at the rate of "unbearable"), and many other problems of the spine. If you are concerned about the question of what to do when the pain in the back, shift your attention and anxiety on the establishment of an accurate diagnosis. Only a specialist can know what course of treatment you need.
Not only the spinal column
How to get rid of back pain? Many people believe that counting can only be an orthopaedic or spine. However, this part of the body can insinuate us and about the problems with the internal organs, the vertebral column has no connection with:
- if your back hurts on the left, in the upper part of the trunk, has the pain, but sometimes rapiente nature, this symptom can be a precursor to a heart attack. In any case, with the heart clearly there has been discord, so that a visit to a cardiologist costs as quickly as possible;
- the pain that affect the kidneys and the datum usque in the leg, which often show inflammatory processes that occurs in the kidneys, or the organs, within the jurisdiction of a gynecologist. The nature of the sensations – hot, throbbing. Sometimes the pain is transmitted and adductors;
- the sensation of pain in the area between the vanes often talk about diseases of the digestive system. Some of them are given in the kidneys and the patient begins to treat non-existent had low back pain;
- the weakness of pain in the back, very dans in one of the lower limbs and growing in movement or in sitting position, you can talk about sciatica, inflammation or congestion of the sciatic nerve;
- blind, but the great pain in the shoulder, migrans in the middle of the spinal column and especially in the corners of the box or of the inspiration is the evident sign of the problems with the lungs. In some cases it will manifest cardiac disease.
If the treatment of back pain, which is recommended for most patients with vertebrate diagnostics, it is ineffective, if the intensity of the pain does not depend on its position (sitting, standing, lying down), it is likely that the problem is not in his loins, and in one of his internal organs.
In all these cases, the psychologist must prescribe the treatment. The back hurts me, not for physiological reasons, and due to the internal disorder. And until that is not resolved (or a patient with he is not going to accept), the upset cannot be resolved. Even painkillers sometimes act weaker than expected.
Therapeutic of the base
The main issue for patients is the same, sacramental: that cure? Back pain is a symptom of the need to remove, so as not to interfere with which to live and work. However, it is very limited perception of the problems. Removing the sintomatologa solves the problem temporarily. If you do not deal with a disease that led to their development, the syndrome of pain is going to come back again and again.
If the back pain caused by problems with the spinal column, usually applied to a set of therapeutic modalities, up-to-date with a particular diagnosis and needs of each patient. In he include:
- anti-inflammatory drugs nonsteroid of the series. At the same time they are released and back pains, and of ortum or generandi your inflammatory process. If the pain is severe, medications are introduced intramuscularly; in the more difficult cases that are supplemented with analgesics and psychotropic substances. As supports the drug therapy are used complexes of vitamin pills, muscle relaxers, reinforce the action nonsteroids, antihistamines. If the back pain caused by any source of the disease, is assigned a course of treatment for him – and it applies from the earliest days, regardless of the intensity of the pain syndrome;
- physiotherapy. Is assigned when the acute attack of cut, and the procedures cannot cause exacerbations no complication. Among particularly popular and effective of the impacts electrophoresis, magnetotherapy, iglorefleksoterapija. In the last few years, especially recommended by doctors hydrokinesotherapy — stimulates the stretching of the spine, which was performed in the swimming pool with heated water;
- therapeutic exercise. Without it you can not do virtually all of the diagnoses. The deformation and degradation of the spine will progress, if not regularly force you to adopt the correct position. Gymnastics should be part of the patient's life and after correcting the dorsal pains.
If the back pain is caused by the development of the disease of any of the internal organs, the scheme of treatment of a drastic change. The first stage of the same, except that you will only include medications for the pain (if the inflammation has not managed to settle in the body of the patient). In the second phase of treatment will focus on the removal of the primary pathology: the treatment of cardiovascular, digestive or genitourinary systems. This is an advantage because the back pain is not related to your pathological.
Cases psychosomatic back problems on the right can be considered more difficult for the patient. You will have to pass a comprehensive exam and to obtain the advice of a number of narrow experts, in order to cut the probability not only of the vertebrates of the disease, but also problems with internal organs. And after having a conversation (and not one) with a professional-a psychologist. In our country this doctor is perceived as something unpresentable. Unfortunately, without your help ill have to live with the fact that he constantly hurts my back: get rid of the internal problems by himself is reading the units of the sick.
