This problem is also known by the name of sciatica. Many people are very with reference to this problem, whereas "hurt and stops" are, in fact, such a symptom is a cause of serious concern and immediate a visit to a doctor, if you have certainly expensive for your health.
If you are after a intense physical exercise, or hypothermia feel the pain in the lower back, that "give" in the leg – not worth the wait, when the pain will pass by itself, may never happen. And if the pain and you will almost guaranteed will again appear in the form of recurrence on each occasion. Then do not over-tighten the solution to this problem.
Usually the pain occurs unexpectedly, it can appear to be a part of the back, or once with two (but this rarely happens). Very soon the pain will move to the leg, it becomes difficult to straighten, the movement of the load and cause severe pain. Take pain in the leg becomes nearly impossible, the man begins to love, trying to protect themselves from the pain. It seems all this is not too good – the foot is usually slightly bent, removed to the side or forward, the body slightly tilted.
This can continue almost indefinitely. Periods of relief take turns to relapses, but to eliminate the pain in full autonomy, by applying only the "people" the tools and recommendations from the internet is virtually impossible. The simplest means to get rid of the pain for a certain period of time is "the pose of the embryo", but is useless advice, if the pain has arrived in a public place. The house itself is only possible to lie on the healthy side, clasp hands and my wounded leg. Is advisable to take painkillers.
But this is only a temporary measure, can temporarily relieve the pain. If you are sick of low back or left or right – is an opportunity to consult a doctor immediately.
What is sciatica?
Under this concept implies the syndrome of low back pain, where the pain is "dona" in one or both legs. The cause is almost always the more physical activity or hypothermia. The nature and location of the pain is not easy, the pain can be strong and weak, in pain, may be more pronounced as in the lower back and leg.
It manifests itself in the lower back pain can vary in shape, with each of these forms has its own clinical manifestations:
- muscle-toned. In this case, is characterized by the appearance of spasms of the lumbar muscles, the drastic limitation of mobility in the lumbar area of the spinal column, curvature of the spine (kyphosis, scoliosis, etc);
- stand-alone vascular. In this case, in parallel with a stabbing pain numbness sore feet (in the majority of cases – the foot. You can become more cold to the feel, sound, seem more clear. This form is characterized by the sensation of cold or heat. Cold can be caused by an increased tone of blood vessels. Also when you change the position from horizontal to vertical occurs the pain;
In this situation, can also be combined in a time all three forms sciatica. In this way, you can last for years, aggravation alternate remissions, but the disease does not resolve. There is the sciatica, and a sort of "sister" - lombosciatica, which can also manifest itself in these situations. Usually manifests itself with pain in the area of the buttocks or hip, which can give the foot and calf.
The cause of the pain – radicular syndromes
With all the variety of forms and the location of the pain, the cause is almost always a sciatica, introduced as a result of degenerative disc disease. Often the pain precedes an attack of lumbago, lumbodynia and sciatica.
As already mentioned above, the main cause of pain in the spine lumbosacral is mechanical pressure on the nerve endings, is born from prolapse of the intervertebral disc (herniation of the spine). Consequently, the circulation of blood in the department concerned, develops inflammation, edema.
In case of irritation of the back, created as a result of displacement of the intervertebral disc, you may experience pain of a different nature – dull, aching, cutting, tearing, stabbing. Directly onset of pain is usually preceded by a clumsy, injury to the lumbar, the increase of the gravity of a shot, a strong inclination or rotation of the trunk (especially with the load), a long work in the uncomfortable position flexed, etc.
Usually the pain occurs suddenly, in the first part of the lumbar (rarely – once on both sides), in some cases, the pain can appear as hip or buttock. Through a short period of time (usually 5-7 days) of pain with the lower back stretches on one leg, while it is a serious obstacle to straighten the affected limb. The man begins to instinctively "love" sick of a limb, protecting it from the load. For example, when you walk a person stops moving forward on the foot for the whole, the result appears limp when you walk, awesome for the foot is almost always in the folded state and is removed to the side or forwards – away-from-base load.
The easiest way to get rid of the time of grief, as we have already said, is "laying the embryo" - lying on the sound side, draw it to the stomach, the leg wound. If the pain extends over both legs, the patient should lie down on your back, by pulling towards yourself both legs bent. Turn around on his belly a man is not able – the pain in this case considerably increased.
Very characteristic is the sharp increase in the pain during any movement, whether by foot, rotate the torso, or just an attempt to get up from the bed. Also the conversation, coughing or sneezing can help strengthen the pain. In some cases, the pain becomes so strong, that prevent a person to sleep. Accordingly, a person is shown the state of depression can develop depression. This is because often the people who have problems with the spine, is prescribed an appointment with a psychologist.
Often the pain caused by compression of the roots of the spinal cord, accompanied by disorders of sensibility: the diminution or the increase of sensitivity to pain, in the diseased leg may appear burning, numbness, and retraction, the cold, creeping feeling of "chills", etc.
That is also very frustrating – pain in the spine, lumbosacral, pain that radiates to the leg, almost always is returned in the form of recurrence. Unless, of course, is not complete treatment, but in this case, the person must know certain rules and meet certain standards. The main cause of relapse to sustain colds (ARI), hypothermia, heavy physical activities, etc
Means of first aid in such a situation, it is almost always effective an anesthetic drug. But this is only a temporary expedient, corrector pain, without the help of a doctor, in such a situation, can not do without. Almost certainly, the doctor will prescribe a treatment serious, who will enter the receipt of special funds, limitation of activities, massage, physiotherapy, etc.
