This problem is also known as sciatica. Many people are very careless with this issue, I think, "maybe bigger, longer", in fact, the phenomenon is cause of serious concern, direct a visit to the doctor, if you value your health.
If the physical exertion or cold exposure feel back pain, which "gives" up – don't wait the pain go away on its own, it's not going to happen. If the pain goes away – it's almost guaranteed will be again in the form of a relapse at every opportunity. So do not delay the solution to this problem.
Usually the pain appears suddenly, it seems, one side of the waist, or the two (but this rarely happens). Soon the pain shifted to the leg, it will be difficult to straighten, the movement, the stress is causing you serious pain. To stop, aching feet become almost impossible, one begins to nurse him, trying to protect themselves from the pain. This whole thing looks not nice in the legs are usually slightly bent, it is removed from the side, or forward, the body slightly inclined.
This condition lasts almost indefinitely. While exemption is replaced by relapse, but you can get rid of the pain completely, using only the "folk" remedies, and recommendations the Internet is almost impossible. The easiest way to get rid of the pain for a while, the "fetal position", but this is useless advice if the pain caught up to in a public place. At home I just lie on the healthy side, clasp hands, she hugged his leg. It is advisable to take pain relievers.
But this is only a temporary measure, it is still able to alleviate the pain. If a patient in the lower part of the left or right, the reason to consult a doctor immediately.
What is sciatica?
Under this concept means pain in the lower back where the pain is "give" in one or both legs. The reason is almost always increased physical stress or hypothermia. The nature and localization of pain is not unique, the pain can be strong, weak, can't wait to be stronger in the lower-back leg.
Manifests itself in lower back pain can vary in shape, while each of these forms its own clinical symptoms:
- muscular-tonic. In this case, is characterized by the appearance of the spasms of the lumbar muscles, a sharp restriction of mobility of the lumbar spine, curvature of the spine (kyphosis, scoliosis, etc.);
- vegetative vascular. In this case, in parallel burning pain, numbness in my feet hurt (in most cases, stop. Might be colder to the touch, like a healthy, then, seems to pale. This form is characterized by a feeling of chilliness or heat. Sensitivity to cold may be due to the increased vascular tone. Also, if the variable position in the horizontal to the vertical, the pain;
In this situation, you can combine all three forms of sciatica. However, it may take years to worsen replaced by temporary improvement, but the disease does not go away on its own. I have sciatica, a kind of "sister" - sciatica which can also occur in such situations. This is usually indicated by the pain, the buttocks, or thigh that may radiate into the leg, the Shin.
The cause of the pain – radiculáriszt syndromes
The various forms location of the pain, because almost all a – sciatica is the degenerative disc disease. Often this back pain is preceded by attacks of lumbago, lumbalgia, sciatica.
As already mentioned, the main cause of pain in the lumbosacralis spine mechanical pressure on nerve endings, so the herniated disc (hernia of the spine). As a result, a decrease in the blood circulation, the affected Class of inflammation swelling.
If the irritation of the spine, the resulting displacement of intervertebral disc, it can be pain of different character, dull, aching, cutting, tearing, shooting. Directly with the onset of pain is usually preceded by an awkward movement, an injury to the back, weight lifting, an eye, a sharp inclination or rotation of the trunk (especially with cargo), long-term functioning of an awkward bent position, etc.
Usually, the pain occurs suddenly, first on one side, lower back (rarely from both sides), in some cases, pain may occur in the hip or buttocks. After a short period of time (usually 5-7 days), pain in the lower back extends to your legs, although this is a serious impediment to straighten the affected limb. People instinctively "protect" the damaged limb to be loaded. For example, when walking, the person is no longer likely to occur, the entire leg as a whole, the result is a limp when walking, the affected leg is almost always half-bent position is pulled to the side or forward away from the main load.
The easiest way to time the pain, as I have said, the "fetal position" - lying on the healthy side, to draw the stomach in the extremities. If the pain spreads to both legs, the patient is to lie on your back, pull both bent legs. Turn the stomach of people don't know – the pain in this case will significantly increase.
Very characteristic is the sharp increase in pain, any movement, even walking, rotate the torso, or just trying to get out of bed. Even the speech, coughing or sneezing can contribute to greater pain. In some cases, the pain will be so great that hinder a person's sleep. As a result, the person appears depressed, depression may develop. That's why many people with back problems, make an appointment to a psychologist.
Often pain syndrome caused by compression of spinal roots, accompanied by sensitivity disorders: decrease or increase in pain sensitivity, the patient's legs seem to be a burning sensation, numbness, contraction, feeling cold, full of "needles", etc.
It is also very uncomfortable – the pain in the lumbosacralis spine radiating to the legs, nearly all the returns in the form of relapse. Unless, of course, carried out a full treatment, but in this case, people need to know the rules and follow the rules. The main reason for relapses or common cold (ARI), exposure to cold, heavy physical exertion, etc.
The first aid in such a situation, almost all effective pain medications. But this is just a temporary means to mask the pain, without help, a doctor, in such a situation, I don't. It is almost certain that the doctor will prescribe a serious treatment, which included the appointment of special fund activity limitation, massage, physical therapy, etc.
