Really, in most cases, pain in the lower back due to the spine. In particular, the cause of the pain in most cases, osteochondrosis and spondylarthrosis. This is the so-called "primary" cause, the muscle-skeletal changes in pressure.
But there are a number of "secondary" reasons, not all of which, in connection with the spine itself. So, what are "secondary" causes of pain?
We will consider some of them:
- a variety of tumors (such as primary and metastatic) of the spinal column and the spinal cord;
- vertebral fractures;
- Infectious diseases, occur in consequence of lesion of the intervertebral disc and the vertebra itself;
- metabolic lesions of bone tissue (osteoporosis, osteomalacia);
- non-infectious inflammatory nature of the disease (rheumatoid Arthritis, ankylosing Spondylitis);
- acute disturbances of the spinal blood circulation, which may occur, for example during a stroke;
- Growth pain;
- Diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract (intestinal obstruction, acute atypical appendicitis);
- the reflected pain, which can occur in various diseases of the organs of the pelvis (infectious gynecological diseases, renal colic)
As you can see, the cause is not always in the spine. Some pretty serious diseases can also cause such pain. However, in this case, the pain of the reflected and often pain in the lower abdomen and back, so that the diagnosis easier.
There is also a reason of emergence of pain. So, often enough the lower back hurts during pregnancy, particularly in the later stages, when the load on the spine is very large, and he is forced to "bend" more than usual. In addition, if the pregnancy is the focus of the people shifts and increases the weight, all the "heavy burden" on the spine.
Lumbodynia, we most often
The most common Problem, a lumbago – pain syndrome is still developed in the lower part of the back. The reasons for its emergence is much easier and more "foolproof" than many other types of pain. In particular, the cause of low back pain in General, physical exhaustion, sudden movements, excessive physical efforts with a load on the back, over a longer period of time in an uncomfortable Position, hypothermia, colds, bruises, etc. by the Way, acts the same, the osteochondrosis can also be the cause of the lumbago.
It is within this syndrome usually chronic, in which there is a periodic alternation of relapses and remissions. In the case of relapses of the patients, the back may hurt, where the pain attacks usually acute and sudden appearance. During the Remission of the pain disappears, but for a while yet remains a feeling of discomfort in the affected Zone.
How to get rid of lower back pain?
First and foremost, one should understand that the pain can be caused by various reasons, and not always obvious. Therefore, the use of painkillers is not provide in this case, to the effect that wants to the man. In fact, these drugs do not disappear just mask the pain, but the reason of his appearance, and after the completion of the preparation of the pain.
Not to forget the simple truth – not treated the pain, and the cause of its occurrence. For example, in the case of osteochondrosis is the most important part of the treatment is not a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and pain relievers are thinking, how many. In fact, these drugs must only facilitate the patient's condition in the period of acute pain and a little bit of inflammation. The present treatment begins, after the pain went back.
