If there is pain in the muscles of the back, for several reasons. The back of the people from the neck to the sacrum completely with the muscles, and experienced a great deal of physical stress. So hurt why the dorsal muscles?
Pain and crunch in joints, with time, can have severe consequences - local or complete limitation of movement in the joint up to the time of disability. People, bitter experience, in order to cure the joints and enjoy the natural resources that the recommended by the rheumatologist.
Diseases of the spine
They suffer 85% of the population of the earth. The vertebrae, intervertebral discs, are affected to a mark, Trunks, back, nerves of the spinal roots of the nerves, veins, arteries, capillaries, ligaments, muscles. The most common diseases: osteoarthritis, Spondylitis, ankylosing spondylitis, Arthritis, osteoarthritis, and scoliosis.
The enemy of the spine
Osteochondrosis is a chronic disease of the spine, leading to degenerative damage to, and destruction of bone tissue, intervertebral discs, vertebrae animals, the articular cartilage by:
- a hereditary predisposition;
- a wrong diet;
- overweight;
- traumas;
- A lack of exercise;
- unnecessary burdens;
- Stress and other.
Due to the anatomical Transformation of the spine, pathological mobility restricts nerves, soft tissues, medulla, nerve roots, and vessels.
Muscle Ache Occurs.Symptoms:
- Faults in posture;
- decreased mobility in the vertebral joints (the inability to erect at 100%, turning the head);
- Decrease in skin sensitivity, numbness, tingling.
For relief of the amended spinal muscles reflexively tensing (contraction). With the time constant voltage other pain – muscle provoked. Character and localization of pain They relate to the scope of the spread:
- In the case of cervical intervertebral disc degeneration, when the compressed veins and arteries, the pain paroxysmal, burning, throbbing. Localization often one-sided – the neck, the other part of the head.
- In the case of osteochondrosis, the symptoms of other diseases (internal organs, for example), pain or acute nature, as in the case of myocardial infarction, or gradual, incremental, similar to a pneumonia, but the absence of cough and fever. more often than not resembles Inter costas area concentrated in qui, in the area of the shoulder blades and the upper part of the abdomen.
- In the case of osteochondrosis of the lumbar pain in the muscles of the loin of a sudden, with shot. Aching muscles of the lumbar and foot baths, with devotion in the abdomen and the pelvis.
In the complex variant, in the case of inter-growth vertebrae, pain is reduced or disappears.
Additional Symptoms
When cervical osteochondrosis, apart from the fact that the pain in muscles and back and neck pain, are symptoms of lack of oxygen: dizziness, nausea, migraine headache, decreased alertness, sensitivity of the arms and the shoulder girdle, shortness of breath, limitation of mobility of the neck. In adults a sudden loss of consciousness, in complex variant – paresis and paralysis of the arms.
In the case of the osteochondrosis — cough, "lump" in the throat, difficulty swallowing, inclination, hand sign, high blood pressure, pain in the heart area.
In the case of lumbar osteochondrosis — feeling of numbness of the skin, paresis and paralysis of the legs, in men, difficulty urinating and erection, in women – menstrual disorders.
To treat what doctor to diagnosis
Because of the similar with other diseases, the patient's symptoms to go to an internist, cardiologist, gastroenterologist. It takes time, complications provoked. The competent doctor, and a neurologist.
2-Diagnostic Procedures:
- Laboratory: General and biochemical blood tests;
- Instrumental: x-ray images of the spine in 2 planes, MRI, CT and biopsy with microscopy.
According to the results of the studies, the possibilities of medical techniques. The treatment of osteochondrosis If it is muscular pain in your back, the treatment is conservative and surgical. Conservative:
- The drug treatment. Appointed at the time of the crisis. Be NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, hondoprotektory, Vitamin B, E, angioprotectors, glucocorticoids, biogenic stimulators.
- Physiotherapy. Thanks to further electrophoresis, acupuncture, magnetic field therapy, movement therapy etc, the healing process goes faster.
- The Spa Treatment. Effectively in Remission.
- Diet. In the time of the crisis, smaller portions need to eat 5-7 times during the day, so grilled by boiled and steamed food. Drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day.
In inefficacia methods of surgical interventions: removal of inter-vertebral hernia lead to either the intervertebral disc Substitution with a silicone implant (prosthesis).
Diseases of the internal organs
Sometimes the muscle pain occurs on the background of diseases of internal organs:
- Gastro-intestinal (ulcers disease stomach and duodenal ulcers, perforated ulcer, pathology of the intestine);
- Pancreas (chronic inflammation of the pancreas, chronic pancreatitis);
- Gall bladder (acute cholecystitis);
- Liver (Colic);
- Respiratory Organs (Pneumonia, Pleurisy, Bronchitis, Tuberculosis);
- Genitourinary system (Prostatitis, renal colic), gynecological diseases (uterine fibroids, inflammation of the uterus, endometriosis);
- Cardiovascular diseases (myocardial infarction, Angina pectoris, coronary heart disease, aneurysm of the Aorta).
Kind of pain, concentration
In the case of diseases of the digestive tract, the pancreas, the gall bladder and the liver acute pain, localization – stomach, right side, with irradirovaniem in the lower back and collarbone, just underneath the shoulder blade. In the case of hepatic colic with pain in the right shoulder, the shoulder blade, the neck, the stomach. In the case of the inflammation of the prostate gland to rest pain.
In the case of diseases of the genitourinary system, gynecological and aching muscles, the back pain. Severe pain in the abdomen and genitals, diffundit in the back of both sides against the background of the hurried desire to urinate, testifies to renal colic.
In diseases of the respiratory organs on the background of the heat pain diffundit in the back, shoulder blades, and deep in the chest, scelesto cough.
Pain in the back on the left side, spreads to the left Hand and the neck, bears witness to the pathologies of the cardiovascular System.
Accompanying Symptoms
Torture nausea, heartburn, vomiting, hyperhidrosis. The muscles of the abdominal wall is compressed, it makes the belly hard.
Mechanical Damage
The most common cause. You Will Receive:
- Athletes in Training due to an incorrect calculation of the force of gravity or weight;
- Children with excessive mobility;
- Divers when hitting the water;
- pregnant women;
- Young mothers when raising the child;
- when lifting or increased physical activity;
- in the case of intensive movements;
- in case of a fall, especially with the height on the back or landing on the feet, which can be obtained by clamping ring injuries of the spine;
- in the case of mechanical shocks from the outside with a blunt object, pressure wave, etc.
Main symptoms: pain in muscles along the spine and at the site of injury back it swells, it. Due to injury of the vessels, a hemorrhage in the coming effusions, soft tissue, bruises and blood.
The type of pain, localization
Damages because of injury to the spine can lead to dull, diffuse pain at the site of injury, without a clear Definition of the concentration. In the event of damage to a rupture of the ligaments without displacement or fracture of the spinous processes, the pain is acute, focused in the area of the spinous and transverse processes, at the turn – in to the injured area of the plant.
Additional Symptoms
In the case of injuries in the chest area — the loss of sensitivity in the extremities, ataxia, pain in the heart when inhaled.
To whom can I turn to for diagnosis
You must stomatologist in the office hours of the trauma, even if the damage seems low. Consequences of violations may occur later.
Visual inspection, anamnesis, study of the course of the disease, is carried out by the CT, radiography. According to the results of the diagnosis, further treatment neuro lead surgeon and semper. The recommended treatment If there are only insignificant damage to the bed rest, the use of anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointments and gels. Gradually bed rest replace the small loads, trying not to be overloaded.
Helminthiasis, in particular echinococcosis
Rare Cause. Hydatid disease – a parasitic disease, caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus. The infection occurs:
- in case of contact with animals — carriers of worm;
- during the consumption of contaminated faeces of the animals, vegetables, fruits, berries,;
- with water from natural sources, the worm eggs.
With the blood in the body, affects the internal organs form a-chamber capsule in the Form of cysts cysts in the bladder up to 10 liters of liquid-containing up to several kilograms, form a year. Overgrown cysts lead to a gradual destruction of the affected organ, to atrophy. Rupture of cysts may cause anaphylactic shock.
The cause of the muscle pain of the back is used most often, echinococcosis of the spinal cord or kidneys.
The type of pain, location
The early-stage asymptomatic. The growth of cysts will change the Situation.
In the case of echinococcosis of the spinal cord of the contracture of the bladder of the body and the vertebral arch and the spinal cord appears to be sharp rest pain in the concentration in the breast area, increase in the time of energetic movements. The mobility of the spine decreases, just muscles thickening back cover, the shape of the roller, while the Palpation of the spinous processes of the spine are painful.
Accompanying Symptoms If this Helminthiasis of the spinal cord feels pain in the extremities. In the case of echinococcosis of the kidney — fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, malaise. In a later stage be added to, renal colic, and aggravation of the renal pelvis inflammation, difficulty in water, disturbance of mobility of the kidney, Tumor palpable round shape, in the region of the hypochondria. The treating physician Often people turn to allergists, therapists, neurologists, infektsionistam that you will not bring any relief.
The treatment is a surgical procedure, the doctor is a neurosurgeon.
Diagnosis of Helminthiasis
The main methods are:
- KT. The identification of tumors in the vertebral channel.
- Myelography. The inter-cavernous channel of the spine-contrast medium images (myelography).
- The analysis of the blood . The reaction of passive hemagglutination.
Applicable Treatment
So, what to do if you aching back muscles? Treatment of the vertebral canal is the removal of compressing vertebral arch (laminectomy), emptying of the bladder, the outer shell, remove the processing cavity is 2.5% iodium solution, then with salt is sodium thiosulfate.
Cysts infected kidney removed, if necessary, a resection, or nephrectomy. After the surgical treatment for the prevention of pollution antihistamines appointed.
Autoimmune diseases
One of the worst reasons. Autoimmune Myositis – inflammation of the striated muscle, arising from the perception of their cells by the immune system of the muscle fibers to threaten the health of pathogens and destruction of your connective tissue membranes. Affected muscle (local Myositis) or more (Polymyositis). When the skin is touched, then it is Dermatomyositis. Autoimmune Myositis occurs even on the background of the existing systemic diseases: rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus erythematosus, scleroderma.
The main symptoms are muscle weakness, tension and swelling of the muscles, the pain in the muscles, the restrictions on the freedom of movement – ill is increasing difficult to get out of bed, keep.
The type and location of pain
The pain is dull, not intense. Reinforced in the case of temperature fluctuations, movements. In individual cases, disappears altogether. Focuses in the area of the affected muscles.
In Additional Symptoms.
The possible local increase of the temperature. In pascebantur neck muscles and swallowing difficult, thoracic muscles and diaphragm — cough impedes respiration.
In the case of Dermatomyositis, the skin edema is. Purple-red spots or nodules, that itch strongly. To whom can I address myself, as diagnosed Autoimmune Myositis is diagnosed and the doctor-rheumatologist. Investigation of the diseased, the clarification of the existing complaints and the presence of systemic diseases. Electromyography Assigned.
Methods of treatmentthe treatment involves the use of:
- steroidal anti-inflammatory hormones;
- Immunosuppressive agents, to suppress the reaction of the immune system;
- extracorporeal treatments, hemosorption, plasmapheresis;
- NSAIDs.
In acute diseases intravenously Vitamins and anti-toxic solutions. After the relief of the disease in General, therapeutic massages and physiotherapy prescribed.
