Lumbago disease: it's a lumbago, it's a strong back pain

The abbreviated term "lumbago" is used to refer to what professional doctors call lumbago - a sharp pain that suddenly appears in the lumbar region, most often due to lifting heavy objects or an unsuccessful turn of the hull. Surprisingly, the symptoms of this disease really resemble a sharp electric shock or even a gunshot wound, the cause of which is the internal infringement of the nerve that leaves the column of the spinal cord.

Actually, the medical definition of lumbago sounds like the following: back pain, paroxysmal, caused in most cases, that is, a change in the lumbar intervertebral discs. The main sign of the onset of the disease is the pain in the lower back and in the lower back. As already mentioned, these metabolic changes cause these sensations, which often undergo intervertebral disks that collapse themselves and traumatize the nerve that passes in close proximity.

When lumbago symptoms appear just at the same time as damage is done: such are pains (not only at the site of nerve injury, but also headaches), lack of mobility or complete lack of mobility of the spine in the lumbar region. Doctors recommend that when the first sensations of stiffness and pain arise, consult for help in order to confirm the diagnosis in time and start the appropriate treatment. Research and diagnosis of the spine should be carried out as early as possible, since the cause of pain, in addition to osteochondrosis, leading to lumbago, may be a tumor that squeezes the nerve trunk.

From this disease in the main suffer male representatives who have reached the age of 30-40 years. During this period of life, any physical overstrain, a sharp temperature drop (overheating-supercooling) or a not-too-good turn of the trunk can all respond with a sharp, strong and fairly intense back pain. According to many patients who are asked to describe the manifestation of the disease, the sensations in the lower back are painful-tearing, pulsating, piercing or piercing. A person with such pain can not change the pose, straighten, since any movement only increases the pain syndrome and leads to muscle spasm in the lumbar region.

The most unpleasant thing is that the symptoms of the disease can both disappear within a few minutes, and continue for several days. Treatment of lumbago basically consists in patience, long-term stay in a state of rest (up to 5-10 days) and stable horizontal position. In this case, the pain can disappear at any time, but not completely, but "hiding" to re-emerge and intensify by sneezing, coughing and any, even the most minimal physical strain. With prolonged continuation of the lumbago, specialists should be treated, who will prescribe pain medication, sedatives and so-called novocain blockades, in which the drug solution is injected into the area of manifestation of pain.

Among other things, experts recommend that during the course of the disease, limit yourself to eating certain foods - salty, sharp and smoked, that is, those that hold water in the body. You should not abuse fat and fatty meat, even if a strong broth is prepared from it. Diet with lumbago suggests light vegetarian soups, dishes from potatoes and not too salty porridges.

Also during this period it is extremely useful to undergo some procedures: massage, which will help relieve tension from muscles, ultraviolet irradiation, diadynamic currents, and also rub the analgesic substances, for example, "tiger ointment" or camphor alcohol. In addition, we must not forget that the guarantee of health is a healthy lifestyle, so you should pay attention to special simulators that relieve the load from the spine.
