Back pain: main reasons than treating

Back pain is a symptom familiar to many.Pain syndrome is often a constant person of a person for a long time.Sometimes the shift requires freezing in one position without the ability to move, which urgently requires drug anesthesia and a course of medicinal blockade in the future.

Description of the disease

By origin, pain in the back is divided into 2 groups:

1. Pain caused by pathology of the spine.
2. Pain in diseases of other organs.

Various pathologies cause different types of pain:

Acute back pain.

The pain syndrome lasts several minutes or hours.Painful manifestations are observed with cough, movement, during sneezing.

Chronic pain.

Continues for a long period of time.In the vast majority of cases, it is slightly manifested, which is aching.

Pain to the limb.

There is a severe pain in the back, which is transmitted to other organs (thigh, buttocks, lower leg).

Varieties of Localization Pain

Pain manifests itself:

• between the shoulder blades;
• along the spine;
• in the lower back;
• In the muscles.

The pain between the shoulder blades

It is very common.It can be stupid, aching, shooting.In most cases, pain between the shoulder blades does not cause anxiety.In rare cases, interlopter pain syndrome warns of the presence of a serious pathology. The pain between the shoulder blades is most often:

1. Improper posture;
2. Long stay at the computer;
3. Injuries, tears of the shoulder joint;
4. Spine fractures;
5. Scoliosis;
6. Osteoarthritis in the joints;
7. Acid reflux;
8. Shingles;
9. Infringement of the nerve;
10. Malignant tumors.

Pain under the shoulder blade often occurs due to injury.Heart diseases also often provoke interlopath pain.

Pain in the spine

Most often, pain causes dystrophic processes in the spine:

• Osteochondrosis.Chronic pathology that affects intervertebral discs.The disease is considered the main cause of pain in the back;
• Spondylosis of arched joints.Chronic disease with a characteristic formation of bone growths on vertebral bodies.Pathology can provoke the immobility of the back;
• Spondylitis.Inflammatory pathology of the spine that destroys the bodies of the vertebrae, which leads to deformation of the spinal column;
• Intervertebral hernia of the disk.Rupture of the spinal disk due to injury or broken nutrition.The pain syndrome is caused by infringement of the nerves of the protruding part of the disk.

The back also hurts due to the instability of the spine, expressed by its abnormal mobility, increased amplitude of movements.

Low's pain

Important!Often, lumbar pains mean the presence of the pathology of the spine.

Pulling back pain is caused by diseases of the internal organs.Women complain of lower back pain during menstruation. The most frequent causes of lumbar pain are diseases and injuries of the spine.

The most severe lower back pains cause: arthritis, tuberculosis, epidural abscess.The pain syndrome in the lower back is caused by malignant neoplasms of the spinal cord.

Muscle pain

The back area is covered with muscles that have the ability to change in size, causing pain. Bol is caused by muscle strain, which is typical for employees of offices that are most of the working time in the same position.Athletes, tourists are included in another risk group.Especially often, muscle pain syndrome manifests itself in athletes.

An incorrectly performed massage often causes muscle soreness.Muscle pain often provokes myositis, which develops as a result of severe overheating of the body and rapid cooling.

Pain in the muscles of the back can manifest itself for causes of anatomical disorders.The asymmetry of the spine often leads to scoliosis.Asymmetry is also caused by shortening of the lower limb, flat feet.

The causes of pathology

There are various causes of back pain.

Pregnancy and childbirth

Women's back pain during pregnancy is a very frequent occurrence.Starting from 2 trimester, pain in the spine and lower back arise due to an increase in the fetus, which changes hormonal background and metabolism.

Inflammation of the spine is most often caused by chronic spondylitis, in which the vertebral bodies are deformed, the bodies of the vertebrae are destroyed.Inflammation of the vertebrae, sharp pain in the back are observed with an illness of ankylosing spondel.The inflammatory process also accompanies osteomyelitis.

When supplying blood, the spine is attacked by microorganisms that enter the bone marrow of the vertebrae.The infection can proceed from various organs: the prostate gland, bladder, intestines, with abscesses, boils.

Severe pathology is inflammation caused by purulent osteomyelitis, in which bone tissues are affected.The hematogenic way is infected if an abscess or boil is present in the body.Inflammation of the spine can develop with a knife or gunshot wound.

Congenital pathologies

Anomalous phenomena in the spine include:

• Add -on ribs syndrome;
• Clippel-Feil's disease;
• Calling of vertebrae;
• Lumbalization.

Anomalies cause pain and disorders of the nervous system.

Gastrointestinal diseases

One of the common symptoms for gastrointestinal diseases is spinal pain.It manifests itself:

• With pathologies of the pancreas.The pain will be broken into the back or is encircling in nature, intensifies after eating;
• In case of disorders of the functions of the gall bladder.It hurts under the shoulder blade on the right or in the lower back.Especially often - after eating and stress;

Less commonly, spinal infections are caused by lesions of the spine with syphilis and tuberculosis.

With the development of tuberculosis of the spine, at first, one vertebral is damaged, after which the rest are involved in the inflammatory process.In the future, the vertebrae lends itself to atrophy and decay.The spine infections are accompanied by fever.The spinal cord swells, which over time leads to the formation of a hump.The pain syndrome is enhanced.

Neuroses

Neurotic spinal pains are similar to the symptoms of lumbosacral radiculitis.The difference is manifested in the fuzzy of localization.Neurotic pain is manifested with minor injuries of the spine for a long time.The presence of severe suggestibility in a person with neurotic disorders causes back pain without external influences.

Oncological diseases

According to statistics, in 0.7 % of patients who complained about spinal pains diagnosed malignant tumors.Pain can be caused by cancer of the spine or manifest as a result of metastases.

An alarming symptoms in women may indicate gynecological forms of oncology.In men, pain can be harbingers of the development of a malignant tumor of prostate.

Oncological diseases, with metastasis from any organ into the spine, are manifested by pain that do not pass at rest.

Osteoporosis

In most cases, osteoporosis is considered as a pathology, manifested by brittle bone tissue.In fact, the pathology is characterized by the occurrence of pain.

Important!Pain in the back with osteoporosis is observed not only during loads, but also at rest.Strong manifestations of pain are rare, and only with complications, if there are cracks in the bones.

Pathologies of the heart

Scoliosis

The main symptom of scoliosis in addition to curvature is pain.Pain can be strong or mild, but constant.Pain manifest in the early stages in the lower back.

In time, the not taken measures contribute to the progression of the pathology, in which the growth of bone tissue occurs.It is very important to correctly diagnose the disease, differential diagnosis, the exclusion of concomitant pathologies makes it possible to prescribe adequate therapy.

Spinal injuries

According to WHO (World Health Organization), annually 500 thousand people receive spinal injuries.In most cases, this category includes athletes who, due to damage to the spinal cord, become disabled.It was established that the cause of disability is not only damage, but also not adequate first aid, incorrect actions of specialists, improper rehabilitation.

Radiography

It makes it possible to evaluate the condition of the patient's bones.The method is necessary to identify arthritis, fractures.

MRI and CT

Research reveals problems in the bone and soft tissues of the spine.MRI images are more accurate in comparison with the received images in computed tomography.

Bone scanning.It is prescribed for suspicion of malignant growth in bones, as well as with osteoporosis.

Electromyography.The study makes it possible to confirm the nervous compression with stenosis of the vertebral channel.

Laboratory tests

Blood tests should be taken to determine the presence of an infection, presumably causing pain.

Treatment

Within the framework of drug therapy, painkillers are prescribed to relieve pain in the back, which significantly reduce the quality of the patient's life.Drugs for back pain are divided into 2 groups: narcotic and non -narcotic.
