Our body is a vulnerable and delicate thing. Increasingly, not only among the elderly, but also among young people, it will shoot, then it will stab. Jokes are bad with health, and all problems arising with him must be solved as efficiently and promptly as possible. One of these problems, by the way, quite common, are wandering pains in the joints. What is it and how to deal with it?
What does wandering pain mean?
First of all, get acquainted with the term. What do they mean when they talk about wandering pain?
The synonym for the verb "wander" is such words as "wander", "wander". Wandering through the forest - wandering between trees and paths, looking for a way out, but not finding it. And so the pain in the human body wanders - and cannot find a way out. In other words, it is a periodic pain that suddenly appears and disturbs its owner, it also goes out spontaneously and without reason, so as not to remind itself for some time, and then reappear with renewed vigor. Also, such pains are sometimes called migratory - because they do not stay in one place, but move, "migrate" throughout the body.
The causes of vagus pain throughout the body are not reliably known to patients, or even to doctors. Many representatives of the science of Hippocrates are completely baffled by this phenomenon. Some are inclined to believe that neuralgia is hidden behind all such things. It’s worth a try ...
Where wandering pains may occur
Throughout the body - as already noted above. And depending on which organ they appeared in, it is possible to diagnose a particular disease. The most common wandering pain in the joints - we will come back to this issue later. In addition, such an ailment can also seize the back (in this case, it involves pinching the nerve endings of the spinal column, which causes circulatory disorders and spasms of nearby muscles), and the abdomen (usually caused by diseases of the internal organs - hepatitis, pancreatitis and the like), and the head (it’s important to understand what part of the head we are talking about here: in the back of the head (most often the pain is there), wandering pains can be the result of pinching of the cervical nerve, which, in turn, is due to wasps theochondrosis, myositis and other similar unpleasant sores; pain is less common in the frontal part of the head, but if it does happen, it can signal a brain infection, commonplace osteochondrosis, pressure, and even a tumor.
Is vegetation to blame?
It has already been mentioned above that many doctors believe that neuralgia is the cause of vagus pain. At the same time, some seriously recommend visiting a psychotherapist - they say that he alone can accurately fix the problem. And that's why.
Many of us know firsthand the nuisance of vegetovascular dystonia: blurred eyes, sharp headaches, dizziness to fainting, lack of air, pressure drops, heart palpitations, heart pain, and so on. It turns out that the autonomic system is subdivided into two, which have different, or rather, opposite functions: one accelerates the heartbeat, the other slows down, one increases the pressure, the other lowers - and so on. According to supporters of the theory that we are now setting out, our well-being is normal when these two subsystems of the vegetative system exist in balance. As soon as vegetation begins to “play pranks”, and as a result of a malfunction between these subsystems, the balance is disturbed, the person’s state of health sharply worsens, including wandering pains. And you can go around a lot of specialists for a long time and methodically, do different procedures, take tests to find out, for example, why your head hurts so much sometimes. All doctors will only begin to shrug - because in all respects the person will be healthy; and only the therapist can draw the right conclusion and find the necessary comprehensive treatment.
How to relate to this theory is a personal matter for everyone, but then we will look at other probable causes of wandering pains in the legs, arms, and other joints.
Joint pain: what, why, and why
Wandering pains in the joints and muscles, perhaps, cause the greatest discomfort - neither to bend, nor to bend, any movement causes pain. There may be several reasons for this, but before talking about them, you need to identify the signs accompanying these pains.
Signs of vaginal pain in joints and muscles
The signs of such diseases should primarily be attributed to their inflammatory nature. They are stronger in the morning than in the evening, and if you give a load - they will pass. This applies to both joint pain and muscle pain. These unpleasant sensations can last from several hours to several days in a row, and usually disappear, as already mentioned, without a trace, as abruptly as they appeared.
All these signs indicate unpleasant diseases such as arthralgia or arthritis. We give a brief description of the one and the other sore.
Arthralgia and Arthritis: Similarities and Differences
What arthritis, what arthralgia is damage to the joints, however, there are significant differences between them. If a person suffers from arthritis, this can be recognized by the additional symptoms that accompany the disease: redness, swelling of the tissues, lack of working capacity for this joint. Arthralgia does not have such signs - on the contrary, there are no pronounced symptoms of the disease, as well as any changes on the x-ray. Also, arthralgia usually affects one joint, while wandering pains in several joints indicate the development of arthritis. In addition, arthralgia often appears as the first bell, a precursor to arthritis - however, in fairness it should nevertheless be noted that this does not always happen: sometimes, if no changes in the joints with arthralgia occur, it remains simply by itself, an independent disease .
Arthralgia often occurs in those people who suffer from impaired immune systems. Arthritis can be both acute and chronic. It usually worsens at night, with a smooth flow in the morning. May be a manifestation of rheumatism. At the same time, middle-aged women, from thirty-five to fifty years old, usually suffer from arthritis, and in general it is not so common. Let's try to understand why these ailments appear and, accordingly, what is the cause of wandering pain in the joints.
And if so, then we will talk about such a variety of diseases as rheumatoid arthritis. It should be treated as early as possible, because if the disease is started, inflammation can cause irreversible processes in the body, leading to absolute deformation of the joints of the hands and joints of the legs. Wandering pain in them is a serious indicator that you need to urgently go to a specialist. Otherwise, you can easily become disabled. Why does pain occur
There are several possible causes of wandering pain in the joints and muscles, and all of them are rheumatoid in nature. It can be fibromyalgia - if we are talking about muscles (chronic pain in the muscles of the whole body, often accompanied by depression, loss of sleep or poor sleep, indigestion, meteorological dependence, fatigue, apnea and other symptoms); as well as various kinds of arthritis (rheumatoid - the most frequent, reactive - the most painless, Still's disease - a child's form; gouty - starts due to metabolic problems; tuberculous; gonorrheal; allergic and traumatic) - this is the part of the joints, and systemic red lupus is a lesion of connective tissue throughout the body (a rash on the face in the form of a butterfly is also characteristic). These causes are the most common “causative agents” of vaginal joint pain, but not the only ones: various diseases of the immune system can also cause them, as mentioned earlier.
In addition, some transmitted infectious diseases can lead to such a result as wandering pain in the joints of the hands, legs, and so on. Therefore, if such pains have arisen, you should initially recall whether any of the following has been transferred recently: flu, brucellosis, encephalitis, toxoplasmosis, cysticercosis, trichinosis, enteroviral diseases.
A few words about Still's disease
I would like to say separately about Still's disease - a child's form of arthritis, because vagus pain in this case is not the main symptom that you pay attention to first of all. Here, a fever with a very high temperature comes to the fore and just in the background a migrating pain occurs. Most often the hands and feet are affected, but it also happens that the jaw is affected. A similar kind of disease is characteristic of children and adolescents from seven to fifteen years. It is interesting that the causes of the appearance of reactive arthritis are known to modern Hippocrates (usually this is a reaction to infection - usually in terms of urology or gastroenterology), but rheumatoid - not. There are only assumptions that factors such as metabolic or hormonal imbalance, trauma or overload, heredity, lack of vitamins, improper diet and lifestyle, diabetes mellitus or tuberculosis can affect its occurrence.
Diagnosis and treatment of vaginal pain in joints and muscles
How to treat such an ailment directly depends on its causes, so the sooner they are found, the faster it will be possible to part with boring pain. Basically, as a rule, physiotherapy, massage, bath, mud, special gymnastics, massage, hormonal drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, acupuncture and so on are prescribed. However, before taking any treatment, it is nevertheless necessary to accurately diagnose what kind of disease the patient “presented” with a whole bunch of “pleasant” symptoms. How to do it right?
First you need to donate blood for analysis - it is called biochemical. Then undergo an examination on an x-ray machine and check for a symptom. In fact, nothing complicated, but it is these actions that can tell the specialist what exactly is wrong with the patient’s body.
If it so happens that the disease has passed into a chronic, severe stage, and no other ways to help are no longer in a state, surgery is performed. After it, a person must undergo a spa restoration and go to a sanatorium.
Treatment with folk remedies
Yes, yes, do not forget about such methods. They are quite effective in the early stages of the disease. Of course, in a chronic, severe form, such methods will not be able to help, but, as they say, in a war all means are good.
So, you can cope with the pain with the help of a cabbage leaf heated and spread with honey. This design must be applied to the diseased joint, and then tightly wrap it on top, previously secured with a gauze or bandage bandage. It is best to do this for a future dream, so that the joint is at rest for a long time.
Also among the folk methods are a variety of decoctions: from pine, lilac, dandelion, chestnut, strawberries and the like. You can also mix ordinary chalk and kefir, put the resulting mixture on the damaged joint, just as in the above case, glue it on top and give the sore spot a rest. Well, a similar method works on the knee joints.
