This issue also carries the name of sciatica. Many people are very lightly refer to this problem, taking into account that "maybe more and leave", actually, the symptom is a serious cause of concern, and an immediate visit to your doctor, if you need to, of course, expensive of your health.
If you're after a physical effort or hypothermia feels pain in the lower back, that "give" in the leg – not worth the wait, when the pain held your own, this may not happen. And if the pain and passes – it is almost certain that reappears in the form of recurrence at every opportunity. So do not tighten the solution to this problem.
Normally, the pain appears unexpectedly, you can appear with one side of the waist, or two (but rarely happens). Very soon the pain travels in a leg, it becomes difficult to straighten, the movement and the load can cause pain. Get up in the pain the leg becomes almost impossible, the man begins to take care of her, trying to protect themselves from the pain. It seems that it is not too cute – feet, is usually found slightly bent, led her towards one side or forward, the body a little inclined.
Such a state can continue almost indefinitely. The periods of relief change relapse, but get rid of the pain completely independently, applying only the "popular" of the tool and the recommendation of the internet is virtually impossible. A simple means to get rid of the pain in a certain period of time is "the posture of the embryo", but it is useless, the council, if the pain reaches you in a public place. The house will simply lie on the healthy side, to lay hold with the hands and tighten to himself the injured ankle. When this is very advisable to take medications for the pain.
But this is only a temporary measure, to be able briefly to remove the pain. If you are sick of the spine to the right or to the left is the reason to consult a doctor immediately.
What is sciatica?
Under such a concept imply syndrome, low back pain, the pain "gives" in one or both legs. The cause almost always is the high physical load or hypothermia. The nature and the location of the pain is not very clear – the pain can be so strong and weak, that hurts, you can be more expressed in the lower part of the back and in the leg.
It manifests itself in the lower part of the back pain can vary, each of these ways has their clinical manifestations:
- muscle-tonic. In this case, is characterized by the occurrence of spasm of the lumbar muscles, the strong restriction of mobility in the lumbar region of the spine, the curvature of the spine (kyphosis, scoliosis, etc);
- vegetativno-vascular. In this case, in parallel with the burning pain comes the numbness of sore legs (in most cases – of the feet. Can you be more cold to the touch, it heals, it will seem more clear. To this form are characteristic also of the sensation of cool or warmth. Cool may be due to the increase of the energy of the vessels. Also when you change the horizontal position to a vertical one occurs the pain;
In this situation, you can also combine immediately, the three forms of the sciatica. Can last for years and years, of the sharpening change the remissions, but the disease will not be the same. Has the sciatica, and a kind of "sister" - the sciatica, which may also manifest itself in such situations. It usually manifests itself with pain in the buttock area or in the hip, which can occur in the foot and leg.
The cause of the pain – radicular syndromes
The variety of the shapes and of the location of the pain, the cause is almost always the same: sciatica, resulting from degenerative disc disease. Often, headaches in the lower part of the back leading up to the attacks of lumbago, lumbodynia and sciatica.
As already mentioned earlier, the main cause of pain in the lumbar-sacral department of the spinal column is the mechanical pressure on the nerve endings, which appears as a result of the loss of intervertebral disc (herniation of the spine). In consequence, it alters the circulation of the blood in the affected by the department, develops inflammation, it causes inflammation.
In case of irritation of spine, arising as a result of the displacement, intervertebral disc, you may experience pain of a different nature, clumsy, pain, cutting, tearing, stabbing. Directly the onset of pain usually precedes the clumsy movement, back injury, the elevation of the severity of the shaking, the strong inclination or rotation of the trunk (especially with the load), the long-term use in the awkward bent position, etc
Normally the pain occurs suddenly, first on one side of the back (rarely – once for both sides), in some cases, the pain may occur in the joint of the hip or the buttock. Through a short period of time (usually 5-7 days) the pain of the lower back and extends to the leg, at the same time that constitutes an important obstacle to straightening the affected limb. The person begins instinctively to "save" sick of finitude, which protects the load. For example, when walking, the person stops stepping all over the whole foot, in consequence, appears limp when walking, the affected foot almost always remains in folded state and is carried towards the sides or forward, away from the base load.
The easiest way to get rid of in a moment of distress, as we have already said, is the "posture of embryo" - being on the healthy side, shrink the stomach the injured ankle. If the pain extends into both legs, the patient have to be in the back, pulling towards yourself both legs bent. Turn round on the belly of a person can not the pain in this case, is suddenly strengthened.
Very characteristic is the increase of pain with absolutely any move, whether walking, rotate the torso, or just an attempt to get out of bed. Even the conversation, coughing, or sneezing can increase the pain. In some cases, the pain becomes so strong, that prevent the person to sleep. In consequence, the person has a depression for the state, may develop a depression. That is why often, people with spine problems, it is prescribed appointment with the psychologist.
Often pain syndrome caused by compression of roots of the spinal cord, is accompanied by disorders of sensibility: the decrease or increase of painful sensitivity, the patient's foot, can appear a feeling of burning, numbness, contraction, cooling, the feeling of crawling "chills", etc
What is also very unpleasant pain in the lumbar-sacral department of a backbone, the irradiation to the leg, it almost always returns in the form of recurrence. If, of course, do not complete the treatment, but in this case, the person should know some rules and meet certain standards. The main cause of relapse act colds (roc), hypothermia, intense exercise, etc
The tool of first aid in this situation, almost always is an effective anesthetic drug. But this is only temporary, the tool that disguises the pain, without the assistance of a physician in this situation, you can't pass up. It is almost certain doctor to prescribe the serious treatment that includes the reception of special funds, the limitation of activity, massage, therapeutic exercise, etc
