If you go to a doctor or no opportunity, people start diagnosing themselves.As a result, we think that the back hurts, and later, but with the doctor, it turns out: the reason is still in the stomach.Or vice versa: We write out pain problems with guts, although the question is, on the contrary, it is in the back.We asked a neurologist that diseases can be "disguised" for back pain.There were a lot of options: it is better not to ignore the consulting with an expert.
Back pain: What could be the reason
Pain in the rear rear parts is divided into radicular (striking or inflammation of the roots of the spinal cord), unsolvable pain and specific skeletal muscles and specific, associated with other specific problems.
Unrecords include Verdebrogen Lumbalgia - This is the pain in the lower back connected to your spine.That is, a person has a pathological muscle tension in the lumbar area, while the spine has a defeat of lumbar or sacral roots.It is most often the protrusion, hernia, "explains the doctor. - Unreliable pain are due to other degenerative changes, arthrosis, pain occurs in the small joints of the spine that cause pain in the lower back.
Back pain can also be due to the pathological muscle tone (myofascial pain) is only muscular tension.
What do these pain can be confused
There are a number of other diseases, which is why you can feel your back pain similar to the above.However, the real reason will be completely different.Such cases include:
- the departure of spinal metastases;
- reflects pain in some diseases of gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, hoses;
- Metabolic diseases (such as osteoporosis);
- The pathology of female genital bodies;
- Pyelonephritis (kidney infection);
- Bladder related problems (cystitis).
Separately, it is worth noting that back pain can be associated with the pathology of the lungs.Especially, due to pneumonia, "expert emphasizes.
It seems to be back pain, but in fact it is light.Therefore, consultation with a doctor, primarily neurologist, is important to verify problems.
The neurologist will check if your back really hurts or this symptom is still associated with other diseases.
As then determine what exactly hurts
As we have already mentioned, it will not work on a diagnosis without a doctor.But you can try to take the type of pain by our nature - you have to listen to your feelings for it.
For example, when you lie in bed, feel the pain, get up - go away.It's more like myofascia syndrome.If the back hurts, but "gives" in the leg, then it prefers to radically pain.Does back pain decrease or intensify during urination or menstruation?Most often the bladder is the cause.If the pain feels mainly after you ate or emptied bowels, probably, probably, the reason should be sought in the gastrointestinal tract, says a neurologist.- Pain processing more often indicate problems with pancreas or consequences of herpes.
The doctor will determine the cause of the patient examination, after which, if necessary, make various examinations.They include radiography, tomography (or CT or MRI), electronicui, if it is necessary to determine the degree of damage to the roots of the spinal cord, ultrasound of internal organs, ultrasounds about the woman.
Of course, it is worth doing the blood test, "the doctor adds. Depending on different indicators, you can see the image: If the liver enzymes are not normal, if the urine is not normal, then it can be an indicator of inflammation.
Neurologist says that according to his experience, people "retreat" with diagnostics very often and as a result of making a lot of pathologies that could be avoided by timely examination.
If the pain syndrome lasts more than three days, this is an opportunity to go to the doctor.If the pain radiates on your feet then you have more and more you have to apply for neurologists.Women with such simultaneous symptoms as a change in body temperature, pain during urination, menstruation, should be further visited by gynecologists.There are patients who also write acute appendicitis for lower back pain, although there is no time in this case to see how to seek medical attention.
