It is believed that this disease does not respond to the treatment and held himself. But in reality, everything can be much more difficult. What can be the causes of pain in the back, and which of them require medical attention?
The load
Approximately 85% of cases of chronic or sporadic back pain associated with excessive loads on the kidneys. Don't be surprised: even if you do not exercise, do not drag the serious and not dig in the grooves night after night, the muscles of his back still experience day-to-day of the surge. When you feel, for example, in front of a monitor, they have to maintain the greater part of his body. Therefore, doctors recommend to those who work outside of the table, since you can't "deeper" to sit in the chair, leaning on his back.
However, the diagnosis of the "back fatigue" nobody would. As a general rule, mild pain in the back lead to the "null cases" (this may be temporary damage to the muscles or ligaments) and trying to calm and the correct posture in the chair. If the pain does not pass after 2 weeks, or recur with regularity, it is worth asking your doctor to do a more detailed survey.
A compression fracture of
According to data from the American medical association, is diagnosed in approximately 4% of patients with back pain. A compression fracture is the fracture of a vertebra, often present in older people and sufferers of osteoporosis. In this disease the bones become less dense and can break under the pressure of the mass of the body. Therefore, fractures as a result of an injury in this category are not included. Thus, the patient may notice, as it will break yes vrtebra to talk about this, only acute nagging pain.
Treated of these fractures strict clothing regime and of the complex of drugs, in order to reduce the pain.
The hernia of the intervertebral discs
Intervertebral hernia is a fairly common problem, more common in people after age 40 (although it can be diagnosed and at an earlier age). The cause — degeneration of the muscles and the connective tissues. With age your spine as if it "sits" — the vertebrae are pressed ever closer to each other, the discs of the spine flattened and protrude beyond the spinal column. The result is the same compression nerve roots, causing a sharp pain in the lower back and legs.
As a general rule, the location of your pain can help your doctor, where you can place an inguinal hernia. But to confirm the diagnosis and accurately determine the location of the hernia, usually, is performed by a magnetic resonance imaging resonance scan (mri).
Spondylolisthesis
This state occurs in 5-7% of the population, but are diagnosed much less frequently (more often in the chronic low back pain, people simply do not pay attention). When the spondylolisthesis leg of one of the vertebrae (such as the rule of the 5th lumbar) is deformed, so that the vrtebra "creeps" at the bottom, bulging at this a forward or backward direction. The plot corresponding to the spinal column becomes in the ladder and not in the post.
The symptoms are the same — the pain in the lower back, sometimes on the buttocks, and rarely may occur in the lower extremities. Towards the vrtebra can compress the loins of the nerves, which leave the spinal cord, which causes the pain tolerance of sensations.
The Disease Behtereva
Another name for this disease is ankylosing spondylitis. It is found mainly in men, both older as well as young men. Women represent less than one-sixth of all patients.
Primarily manifested by pain and stiffness in the low back, pain the pain in the area of the hips, constant tension in the muscles of the back. Causes inflammation of the joints and the ligaments of the spine. It is a chronic and progressive disease, that is to say, is joined to the lumbar spine, the inflammation spreads to the neck and chest. In addition, over time, can affect the connective tissues of the internal organs, the cardiovascular system, kidneys, lungs and even the eyes. However, this disease is very rarely — your "put" around 0.35 of the patients.
The cancer
Approximately 0.7% of the patients with complaints of pain in the back, in consequence, are detected as cancerous tumors. This can be a cancer, initially localized in the area of the spinal column, or the same tumor, metastatic from other organs. As is evident from the statistics, these cases are very rare: usually the cancer "take" of other symptoms, and if you don't have cancer earlier, back pain is unlikely to presage the terrible diagnosis.
A defeat of the spine
One of the more rare causes of back pain (0,01%). As a general rule, the infection does not begin with the spinal column, and reaches to the waist through a flow of blood from other parts of the body — urinary channel, for example. As other conditions of the defeat, is often accompanied by an increase of the temperature. However, the combination of 'the bad back + heat", does not mean that you are infected with the spine. The common flu, for example, can cause the same symptoms.
