The back pain is familiar to almost every person. It is difficult to find the person who has not known what it is extremely unpleasant symptom. Sometimes, we just need to sit in an uncomfortable position for a certain time, to bring up the discomfort in the lumbar region of the spine. But this is not a serious problem, but simply the consequence of an extended period of time in an uncomfortable position. And here is expressed the back pain is almost always a reason is the reason to go to the doctor. Is not always the diagnosis will be expected, indeed, osteochondrosis only one of the possible problems, back pain.
Why the evil of the kidneys and what to do in such a situation is not difficult to guess. The doctor establishes a diagnosis and identify the cause of the onset of the pain, once you begin the treatment.
The pain syndrome – primary and secondary
Understand why a lot of the kidneys, it should not be forgotten that the causes of this pain amounted to dozens, and the amateur will never be able to determine the true source of problems.
In general, the medical classification is divided in primary and secondary pain syndromes, which can affect the lumbar region.
The primary syndrome of the low back pain occurs as a result of musculoskeletal disorders changes. It is he who is the cause of the vast majority of cases, the onset of back pain, the lumbar region. The most significant reasons degenerated changes in the different sectors of the spinal column:
- osteochondrosis, which represents the defeat of the bones and connective tissues, this disease is dying of nature. When it affects the disc between the vertebrae and the adjacent vertebrae, begins to develop a chronic disease of the spine.
- the inflammatory disease is a form of osteoarthritis, the disease affects the joints between the vertebrae, which are responsible for the mobility of the spine, or articulationes synovial.
Secondary pain syndrome has much more variety of the causes of onset of pain:
- scoliosis, which represents the curvature of the spine, as well as other diseases of the growth;
- a variety of inflammation, having the nature of non-infectious. For example, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatism, etc;
- the tumor was located at the level of the vertebrae, the spinal cord or in the spatium retroperitoneale, no matter it is primary or caused by metastasis;
- the fracture of one or more vertebrae. This is perhaps one of the biggest causes of pain in the lower back;
- different infectious diseases, which lead to injuries of the vertebrae and the discs between them (tuberculosis, brucellosis, etc);
- heart disease, in which occurs a serious breach of the vasculature of the spinal cord. In this case, it may also have the feeling that the ills of the kidneys;
- the diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. For example, acute appendicitis with atypical by a stream, an obstruction of the intestine;
- often, the pain in the lower back can be reflected from the nature. This problem can occur when some diseases of organs located in the pelvic region. For example, the renal colic, venereal diseases (gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, uréaplasma, adnexite – all these diseases are the apparent cause of the pain in the lower back).
What is acute and chronic pain
The pain in the lower back also subdivide into acute and chronic, which can be caused by a variety of problems and diseases, such as nerve endings and the spine. Often observed and internally displaced persons, the pain occurs the spread of the pain to other organs, which are much more deeply. In other words, it seems to the man that hurt the kidneys, but in fact, the problem in any other part of the body. But most often in the lumbar region is projected pelvic pain, pancreas, kidney, colon, or tumors, that are behind the peritoneum.
Usually, people do not know what to do, if the evil at the bottom of the back. But of course, that not to do so – it is self-medication . The causes of pain are varied, making the correct diagnosis can only specialist, and a continuous application of analgesics, (considered by many to be the treatment) can still do more harm.
The reasons of occurrence of the acute painBefore determining what to do, when it hurts lower back, all serious doctor first installs the cause of the onset of the pain. The reasons may be different, but most of them one way or another connected with the spine.
One of the most simple and harmless of the causes of acute pain by the stretching of the muscles. In this case, the source of the pain are the muscles long during the crisis. If this problem, pain is rarely "gives" in other parts of the body, but rather strongly restricts the mobility of a person. This cause is very common, often they are confronted with the athletes and people whose work is related to different physical activities.
Injuries to the spine can be the cause of low back pain.
Other common, but much more serious on the consequences of the source of the pain is a fracture of the spine, especially if it is compressed fractures of the vertebrae. Most often this occurs when the attempts of falls and other injuries on the back. But if a person is sick of the disease of the endocrine system, osteoporosis, Paget's disease, or there is a tumor in the spinal region, the fracture can occur and imperceptible to the patient, as they say, "unexpectedly". And no one, not even to understand when this fracture occurred.
Not less unpleasant situation in case of which there appears the acute low back pain is an offset of the discs between the lumbar vertebrae. The symptoms of this problem are severe pain in the lower back which greatly limits mobility. The more often the pain occurs due to compression of the nerve roots. The signs of this compression are:
- sensitivity disorders;
- the disappearance or a significant decrease of calcaneus reflex;
- the absence or reduction of the intensity of patellar;
- unilateral radicular pain.
One of the bad trends of this problem, it is that this shift can cause a pathology in the vertebrae. As a result, the pain below the waist, can disrupt the function of the rectum and the bladder. The location of the pain above the waist is also possible in some cases.
The acute pain in the back may appear to be the result of osteoarthritis of the joints between the vertebrae of the spine. In this case, the cause of the pain is used to the compression of the nerve root to exit the spinal canal, by itself disk between the vertebrae is left intact. This syndrome usually occurs due to an increase in upper and lower facets between the bones of the joint, then narrows between the vertebrae hole.
Uneven defeat of the area of the spine is a serious illness, causing severe pain in the lower back. This disease requires urgent diagnosis and immediate treatment, and recommended for all high efficiency measures, up to the time of surgery, the main is to quickly eliminate compression of the spinal cord.
The disease of the hip joint is also often the cause of acute pain in the back. They are characterized by pain, steer in the lower part of the back, in the legs at the knees.
Causes of chronic pain in the lower back
One of the reasons for the onset of chronic pain is changes the spine. When the disease occurs the change of lumbar vertebrae. Ultimately narrows the canal of the vertebral column, and bony growth begins to put pressure on the nerve roots. A throbbing pain may be accompanied by numbness and weakness in the legs, as well as other neurological symptoms. In all cases, it will be necessary to a full investigation, the outcome of which will be installed at a definitive diagnosis.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic disease is a systemic disease of the joints, can also be the cause of the chronic pain. It manifests itself тянущими back pain, appears and develops rapidly curvature of the spine in the thoracic region. The first symptoms are the limitations of the mobility and reduce the movements of the thoracic cage during breathing.
Often cause pain back and cancer and metabolic disorders. But benign tumors can cause chronic pain, which will not be accompanied by neurological symptomatology.
Osteomyelitis may also cause dull pain in the lower back, the pain may be very long.
The area of distribution of pain – the dependence of the disease
When the defeat of the pelvic organs usually appears on the lower back pain. The reason for this can be endometriosis, for example. Men are pains may appear during the chronic prostatitis.
The different renal diseases cause pain on the стуках of the vertebral column and the ribs.
Problems of the digestive tract (tumors of the duodenum or of the stomach, the pancreas, the disease of a hollow organ) cause pain in the area of segments T10-L2.
Lower back is sore also when the chronic disease of the colonic mucosa and colon tumors and disease of the intestine.
The pain in the lumbar region and the chest can also occur with the beams of the aorta.
Conclusion
As you can see, the back pain can appear in many diseases. When this very often, the person does not expect that the problem is not "where it hurts". So, even if you have a sore kidney, and from time to time – do not pull, contact your doctor . With a disease easier to cope at an early stage, but not when it will be in a state of abandonment and carry a mass of complication.
