Symptoms of the disease

The lumbago attack can begin because of the presence of a lumbar hernia or a sharp displacement of the vertebrae. There are cases of its occurrence because of a congenital defect of the spine or overstrain of the muscles of the waist.

Lumbago can be provoked by a prolapse of the disc located between the vertebrae. The peculiarity of acute lumbago is that a person can not straighten up, and freezes in an unnatural position. Relief comes at the moment of lying on a hard mattress. In our section you will find all the most important information about the treatment of this disease.

The duration of an attack can vary from a few minutes to several days. Those who had a seizure stopped as sharply as they had started, they say that they felt that "something has come to its place".

Often, with lumbago, the pain syndrome except the sacrum region extends to the buttock with a "lumbago" in the leg. This means that the sciatic nerve is pinched. In the people such an attack is called lumbago with sciatica.

Symptoms

Painful syndrome with lumbago with sciatica can be of different intensity. In chronic sciatica, pain is blunted and pulling. In the acute stage, the pain is very sharp and strong. The most painful point is the lower back. Then it spreads over the back of the leg through the buttock, and in some cases reaches the foot.

With lumbago with sciatica, in addition to pain, skin pruritus and loss of sensitivity of the skin of the buttocks and legs may appear. The motor ability of the spine in the lumbar region is limited. Over the inflamed sciatic nerve, the pallor of the skin is noted. Sometimes the temperature rises and chills occur against the background of deterioration in overall well-being. In the acute stage, urination and defecation may be difficult.

Causes

The spine protects the spinal cord and nerves, serves as a support for the body. Numerous muscles of the body are attached to it. It also serves as a shock absorber due to its structure and the presence of intervertebral discs having a cartilaginous structure filled with a peculiar jelly. Between all the vertebrae having a bone structure, there is such a cushioning layer.

The appearance of lumbago with sciatica is associated with several objective causes:

• old age (with increasing age, the walls of the spine wear out, microcracks appear, the discs become thinner);
• overweight;
• heavy physical labor.

If we consider a separate vertebral-motor segment, then over the years, the load experienced by the spine due to the vertical position increases. When walking gradual cartilage disc is injured, there are many microcracks.

With increasing age, it loses moisture, loses its elasticity gradually, the body of vertebrae and intervertebral joints grow. And over the years, vertebrae completely lose the disk and begin to touch each other. All this leads to the appearance of pain in the lower back.

Types of lumbago with sciatica

This disease can differ from the time duration of occurrence and the scale of localization.

1. The chronic form of lumbago can last a very long period with further deterioration of the condition.
2. While the acute form arises spontaneously, against the backdrop of a seemingly perfectly healthy spine.

Lumbago, which arose with sciatica, can affect one part of the spine and one leg, and can spread to the entire lower back and be felt in both extremities.

Medication

To alleviate the condition of the lumbago patient with sciatica, which has arisen due to osteochondrosis of the spine, several groups of drugs are used.

First, it is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. These include Voltaren, Arthrofen, Nurofen, Diklafinak, Metindol, Movaliz and others. There are a lot of such funds at present.

Doctors recommend using this disease in this disease, as they alleviate pain, and also remove aseptic inflammation and swelling, which are necessarily present in lumbago with sciatica. They can be taken even without the appointment of a doctor.

Remember!Steroid drugs are prescribed only by a doctor.

At the second stage of treatment, a medicinal group is used to remove muscle spasms (for example, Midokalm), since spasmodic muscles do not provide an opportunity to restore the motor function of the spine. Muscle relaxants relax the muscles.

Third, to relieve the depressed state of a person, antidepressants are used, which remove the negative consequences of the duration of the course of the disease, since the chronic form can last for years.

Treatment with folk remedies

This disease is called a disease of summer residents. It can occur if there are intervertebral hernias or there are congenital anomalies of the spine. If there are cutting pains in the form of a sweep in the lumbar region, which are given in the leg, then you can take some measures to calm them.

It can be such procedures: currents of Bernard, ultraviolet irradiation, diathermy, ionization with novocaine, lithium, iodine.

Some note a noticeable relief at the first application to the lumbar "mesh". It is applied with a cotton swab soaked in a mixture of ammonia and iodine (the preparations are combined in equal amounts).
