Lumbar osteochondrosis is one of the most common forms of underlying disease, in fact osteochondrosis. Lumbar osteochondrosis, whose symptoms are evenly determined by men and women, manifested in the form of pain concentrated in the sacrum area, reflected in their symptoms and in the lower extremities, which is often defined by patients as "lumbar nerve pinching".
The general description
Most often, the form of osteochondrosis suffers against the backdrop of back injuries and a sedentary lifestyle, namely, automatically in the risk group, if possible this disease, people whose professional activity implies the loads affecting the back. And these are not just office workers who, of course, belong to this group, but also to the moving, builders, service workers (waiters, for example), drivers, etc.
An important role has been assigned to the inheritance factor in the context of considering thoracic osteochondrosis. Here, not many, not some, but about 60% of probability is present in the presence of a disease in the nearest relatives. The rest of the external environment has the effects of factors, which, on one scale or another, affect the back.
Lumbar osteochondrosis, like its other forms, characterize the pain of the various severity that may hurt, arise after sleep or with prolonged findings in the same position (with prolonged landing, standing), as well as shots and acute. In the last version, they arise as a result of a long -term acceptance of a not very appropriate position, while at the same time in such a situation in such a situation of implementation of actions aimed at bending, thus excluding such a position together with the load, provided with it. In fact, the pain arises as a result of the pinch with the proper effects of the nerve roots, as well as the irritation of the nerves on the spinal column, the irritation of the ligaments and muscles (concentrated within the intrigue frame, that is, the actual nerve regulation of the area, its control) and edema.
It is important to note that in an isolated form, this type of osteochondrosis is extremely rare, and therefore most often the course of the disease is combined with natural symptoms in cervical osteochondrosis, we will already consider it in our other article.
The general and early symptom, important for all forms of osteochondrosis, as we have already noticed, consists of manifesting the pain, which in this case is determined by a specific localization, that is, the pain in the lower back. The spread (radiation) of the pain can be marked in the hips and buttocks, as well as in the feet (from their outer surface).
The term used to determine osteochondrosis in a more detailed version (degenerative-district lesions), important for the intervertebral disc, actually implies an important complex of pathological states in its variety, directly associated with different types of spine structures (spinal columns), namely discs and osteophists. The same problems that are directly related to the disk loss consist of its extension and discogue pain. Osteochondrosis screws and concentration field.
Extension for lumbar osteochondrosis
The protests in this area of interest to us develop more often, moreover, are the extensions that cause the pain in the lower back. The middle region itself, given its location and features, is mostly subject to the emergence of certain functional problems.
This means, when considering this statement on the one hand, it can be distinguished that our gravity center directly refers to the Middle Department, namely, it is precisely that an important part of the Loads accounts. When considering, on the other hand, it can be noted that a considerable amplitude of movements again falls into this lumbar region. Given this, the greatest tendency to damage (as well as extensions of interest to us) is in discs concentrated in the lumbar region. In addition, we must not forget that changes in discs in this and, of course, in other areas, occur, including in the background of age -related degenerative processes.
Remind our readers what extensions themselves are. Connecting the discs to each other on the back is provided by the cartilage -based wheels. The main components of the intervertebral disc are a lifestyle and a fibrous ring, through which the fixation is provided within the spinal cord frame. The impact of certain factors and conditions provokes the possibility of breaking this ring, in the background of which, on the other hand, the prolongation of the nucleus occurs. As a result of this process, hernia develops. In terms of extension, it is already developing as a result of a similar course of process, but without the simultaneous rupture of the ring - in this case it is simply subject to thinning, and not a break, because the essence lasts directly through the ring. Indeed, this extension is defined as extension.
As for the symptoms of extension, it manifests as follows:
Mostly, conservative treatment is applied to the lumbar disc extension. Meanwhile, significant in the development of extension are often associated with severe, resistant treatment symptoms, in this case, you can no longer do without surgical intervention.
Lumbar osteochondrosis: symptoms
Pain in this form of osteochondrosis manifests itself in different variants of intensity. So it can be painful pain, which manifests mostly after sleep or after a long landing, and there may be pain and acute pain in their manifestation. At the same time, the manifestation of the latter is often observed at the time of occupation of an unpleasant position without the ability to adjust. Any variant of pain is directly related to the impact on nerve endings, with muscle edema, their irritation and with pinches, which undergo nerve roots. The pain is also associated with the irritation of the lumbar lumbar lumbar in the area of intrigue of its nervous ending.
Strengthening of the lower back in the form of osteochondrosis under consideration was observed during coughing and sneezing, including with the body made by the body (especially with prior tendencies).
Lumbar osteochondrosis can also occur, in addition to back pain, also in the form of sensitivity disorders marked in certain areas (skin, lower half of the body, leg muscles). Weakening of the tendon reflexes in the legs or their complete disappearance is also not excluded. As a rule, it is osteochondrosis that provokes the development of bending in the lumbar spine.
Based on a specific plane of current curvature, osteochondrosis is being divided into the following types:
The point of the roots belonging to the spinal cord as a result of the development of osteochondrosis within the frame of the lumbar region is often determined in the form of a number of specific disorders, namely, defecation or urination, violations associated with sensitivity to the genitals or perineum.
As a rule, pain appears (and worsens also) as a result of the effect produced during physical exercise. The painful response in this case can be observed after this load, and after some time from the moment of exposure. Basically, patients' complaints about this topic have been reduced to the appearance of dull and painful pain in the lower back, and in some cases it gives in the foot, which is defined as lumbalgia. Moreover, complaints of the appearance of pain in the leg may arise with its strengthening at the time of trying to raise something severe (lumbago) may arise. The same is true for sneezing and coughing, swinging on, changing the position occupied by the body, and a long stay in the same position of the body.
As a result of the worsening of the disease under consideration, there is a constant and pronounced tension by the back muscles, which manifests itself in the inability to perform actions aimed at regulating or movement. Anydo movement is associated with increased pain. In addition, even with a harsh time of the patient in cold conditions, he has an acute lumbar pain (which is also defined as a "background").
Symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis also appear as follows:
As the most unpleasant complication that occurs against the background of osteochondrosis, the volatility of the vertebrae can be distinguished, in which the disk ceases to properly adjust the vertebra. This, in turn, provokes "sliding" when exposed to the gravity of the lumbar region from the sacrum to the load given in Lumbar. As a result, not only unpleasant violations can develop, but violations are dangerous and related to the work of the internal organs. In particular, the genitourinary system "suffers", this manifests itself in men in the form of problems with power, and in women - in the form of problems related to supplements, uterus and ovaries.
Manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis
In accordance with the fullest classification, a number of specific syndromes that are important for lumbar osteochondrosis are distinguished. In particular, these include syndromes as follows:
We emphasize in a nutshell, which are the listed syndromes.
LumbalgiaIn particular, it means a type of chronic pain, which is gradually arise after a long -term adoption of an unpleasant position with a body or after a long decrease, as well as after exposure to the body and a specific area after physical activity.
LumbagoIt manifests in the form of an acute lumbar pain, characterized as a "background", mostly lumbago occurs at the moment of weight lifting or with an unsuccessful movement. Sometimes lumbago is also observed after coughing or sneezing.
Diseases associated with lumbar osteochondrosis
Lumbar osteochondrosis occurs not only in combination with the pain and other symptoms listed, but also in combination with some characteristic diseases of the internal organs.
So, about 30% of patients with an important clinic for lumbar osteochondrosis, note the presence of some liver -related problems or gastrointestinal tract functions. The fact is that the presence of a particular disease of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas or liver provokes, along with impulses of pain, blood vessel and muscle and spasm tension, as a result of which there is a state of oxygen hunger with the simultaneous development of the body of the body. The deterioration of the process occurs with a violation of metabolism, which is natural in this type of disease.
In addition, as we have already noticed earlier, back pain can provoke the development of diseases in the pelvic organs. Women may encounter a disease such as inflammation of the supplements (which is defined as adnexitis), and men, on the other hand, experience all the "charm" of the prostate, that is, inflammation of the prostate gland.
Manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis are also associated with pushing phenomena in the pelvic area, which develop as a result of the above diseases, including chronic colitis, hemorrhoids and constipation.
Treatment
Mostly the treatment of osteochondrosis is multicomponent and quite complicated in its implementation. Mostly all measures of therapy are reduced to the following points:
Determining the disease requires, first of all, compliance with bed rest for patients. The main recommendation for this part is a difficult/difficult sleeping place. Extremely expressed in manifestations, attacks predict the need for a minimal motor load and in an early contact for the respective specialist. The appearance of symptoms that indicate the potential importance of lumbar osteochondrosis requires an appeal to a neurologist.
