In fact, in the majority of cases, the pain in the lower back due to the spine. In particular, the cause of the pain in the majority of cases are osteochondrosis and spondiloarthrosis. This so-called "primary" causes, which are caused by musculoskeletal changes.
But there are a number of "secondary" causes, not all of them are connected with the same spine. So, what are the "secondary" causes of pain?
Let's look at some of them:
- a variety of tumors (both primary and metastatic) of the vertebrae and of the spinal cord;
- vertebral fractures;
- infectious diseases, which may occur damage of the intervertebral discs and vertebrae themselves;
- metabolic destruction of bone tissue (osteoporosis, osteomalacia);
- non-infectious inflammatory diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis);
- acute, disorders of the spinal blood circulation, which, for example, occur when stroke;
- growing pains;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (intestinal obstruction, atypical appendicitis acute);
- reflective pain, which can occur in different diseases of the organs pelvic (infection of gynecological diseases, renal colic).
As you can see, the reason it is not always in the spine. Some serious diseases can also cause similar pain. However, in this case, the pain is reflected in the nature and very often a pain in the lower part of the abdomen and the back, and so the diagnosis is easier.
There is also another reason for the pain. So that, often, a pain in the lower back during pregnancy, especially in the later stages, when the load on the spine is very great, and he is forced to "bend" more than usual. In addition, pregnancy shifts the center of gravity of a person increases weight, although this also carries a "heavy burden" on the spine.
Lbp, what we find more often
The most common problem is lumbago – the pain that develops in the lower part of the back. Its causes are much simpler and "more harmless" than many other types of pain. In particular, the cause of the lbp is usually physical exhaustion, rapid movement, excessive physical effort, with the stress on the back, for long periods of time, in an awkward posture, hypothermia, colds, wounds, etc. However, the same low back pain, also can cause lumbago.
Therefore, for this syndrome mostly chronic, in which there is an alternating periodic relapses and referring. In the recurrence of the patient can be very back pain, pain tends to be sharp and abrupt, that appear attacks. During the remission of pain is removed, but some time, maintaining a sense of discomfort in the affected area.
How to get rid of pain in the lower back?
The first thing that must be understood is that the pain can be caused by several reasons, and not always obvious. Therefore, the use of analgesics in this case will not give the effect that the person wants to. In fact, these drugs only mask the pain, but the cause of its appearance does not disappear after the action of the drug, the pain returns.
We must not forget a simple truth – we must not treat the pain, but the cause of its occurrence. For example, osteochondrosis most important part of the treatment does not non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and pain medications, as many people think. In fact, these medicines only to relieve the patient's condition during the period of acute pain and a little relieve inflammation. The real treatment begins after the pain has receded. - Massage, physiotherapy, diet is the treatment that allows to avoid the recurrence of the disease.
Do not try to guess on your own, for what can hurt the lower back. The best solution is to take a painkiller and to go to the doctor if the pain is tolerable. If walking due to the severe pain syndrome is difficult, it is best to call the doctor at home.
The doctor, the completion of the primary examination, will prescribe additional magnetic RESONANCE of diagnosis to establish the details of the disease, which can be associated directly with the disease of the pelvis.
