Back pain is the most common reason to see a doctor. The reason for their occurrence can be both diseases of the spine and diseases of the abdominal or chest cavity, a long stay in one position or strong physical exertion. Often, the cause of the onset of pain can be established only by analyzing the nature of this pain. Sometimes, in addition to collecting the anamnesis and otomra of the patient, special additional examinations are necessary. The treatment of such pains depends on the cause of their appearance and is selected strictly individually for any patient.
Most often, back pain is transient in nature and does not require any special treatment. Often, we independently apply an ointment for back pain, without understanding the causes of its appearance. However, sometimes pain can appear due to infection, tumor, vascular insufficiency or fracture, and this requires not self-medication, but the indispensable intervention of a specialist.
With ankylosing spondylitis, patients experience chronic lower back pain. Most often, this disease affects men aged 30-40 years. With this disease, small joints suffer, which in the spine connect separate vertebrae. With ankylosing spondylitis in humans, the spine begins to lose elasticity, becomes brittle. Pain in ankylosing spondylitis is usually moderate, mild, felt mainly in the lower back, aggravated at night in the supine position, reduced by day, in the second half. In ankylosing spondylitis, an anti-inflammatory ointment for back pain is used (Diclofenac, Ibuprofen). Diagnosis and treatment of this disease is carried out by vertebrologists, orthopedists, neuropathologists.
Typically, with radiculitis, back pain appears very suddenly. Such pain is always piercing (shooting), sharp and captures both the back and limbs. Often with radiculitis, back pain occurs after hypothermia, weight lifting, intense physical exertion. With radiculitis, compression of the nerve structures of the hernia in the intervertebral disc begins. Most often, sciatica occurs in the lumbar region, in the lower back, in this case it gives pain to the leg.
Often such pains appear with various diseases of the abdominal cavity organs. The main diseases of the internal organs that can provoke back pain include peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, renal colic, urolithiasis, etc. Often the back pain that accompanies diseases of some internal organs can easily be confused with back pain with spinal problems. So, with an ulcer of the duodenum or stomach, and also with pancreatitis, as a rule, pain occurs in the lower back, which is accompanied by heartburn, nausea, and sometimes vomiting.
With renal colic, severe pain occurs in the side. The patient also begins to complain of frequent urination, abdominal pain, and nausea. However, if we use an ointment for back pain with such diseases, then they will not give the desired effect, and lost time can lead to sad consequences. Thus, the medicine for back pain should be prescribed by a doctor.
It must be borne in mind that in order for a person to get rid of back pain, it is necessary to cure the underlying disease, which led to its occurrence. In addition to treating the underlying disease for back pain, anti - inflammatory drugs, painkillers and muscle relaxants are used.
Anti-inflammatory drugs that are used to treat back pain are made in the form of tablets, gels, ointments and injections. However, with a stomach ulcer, an ointment for back pain is used, since tablets with this disease can have a negative effect.
Muscle relaxants are used to reduce spasm. They reduce muscle tension, reduce back pain and help to facilitate exercise physiotherapy. In this case, Midokalm is most often used.
