This problem is known as sciatica. A lot of people very lightly relate to such a problem, considering that "may be more and will cease", in fact, this kind of symptom is the anxiety and immediate visit to a doctor if you, of course, costly to your health.
If you're after a physical effort or hypothermia you feel pain in the lower back, which "give" in the foot – is not worth waiting, when the pain will take place itself, this may not happen. And if the pain and will almost guarantee that it will appear again in the form of recidivism at every opportunity. Therefore, do not over-tighten the solution to this problem.
Usually, the pain occurs unexpectedly, it can appear on the one hand the kidneys, or two (but that rarely happens). Very soon, the pain moves to the foot, it is more difficult to straighten, and movement of the charge of causing severe pain. Stand on the sore leg is almost impossible, the person begins to love him, trying to protect her from the pain. It has the air of not-too-cute – foot is usually found in a somewhat folded state, cleaned side or in front, the chassis is tilted a bit.
This state can last almost indefinitely. The times of ease will be replaced by relapses, but get rid of the pain completely by yourself, by applying only the "popular" of the tools and of the recommendations of the internet is almost impossible. The simplest way to get rid of the pain over a period of time is the posture of the embryo", but it is useless, the board, if the pain is the sentence to you in a public place. The house you can just lie on the health side, to bind the hands and apply it to him-even an ankle injury. It is very advisable to take painkillers.
But it is only a temporary measure, able to briefly take the pain away. If you have contracted the lanyard to the left or right – it is a reason to consult a doctor immediately.
What is sciatica?
Under such a notion involves the syndrome of the low back pain, in which pain "gives" in one or both legs. The reason is almost always an increase in physical activity and / or hypothermia. The nature and location of the pain is not very clear – the pain can be both strong, and weak, dull, it may be more pronounced than in the lower back and in the leg.
Can be found in the lower back of the pain can vary depending on the form, each of these forms has its clinical manifestations:
- disorders musculo-tonic. In this case, characterized by the appearance of spasms of the lumbar muscles, a strong limitation of the mobility of the lumbar spine, curvature of the spine (kyphosis, scoliosis, etc);
- vegetative-vascular. In this case, in parallel with a tingling pain appears numbness of the leg (in most cases – walk. It may become cool to the touch, the more healthy, seem more pale. For this form characterized by a sensation of chill or heat. Sensitivity to cold may be due to increased tonus of the blood vessels. Also when you change the position of the horizontal to the vertical the pain occurs;
In this situation, can also combine all three forms of the sciatica. In this case, it may last for years, the widening will be replaced by remissions, but the disease will not pass by itself. There is the sciatica, and a kind of "sister" - the sciatic nerve, which may also occur in such situations. It usually manifests itself pain in the region of the buttock or the thigh, which can lead to foot and the tibia.
The cause of the pain syndrome radicular
With all the variety of the shapes and the location of the pain, the reason is almost always a sciatica, appeared as a result of the degenerative disease of the disc. Often by pain in the back above the crises, lumbago, low back pain and sciatica.
As I've said earlier, the main cause of the pain, lumbo-sacral lumbar is a mechanical pressure on the nerve endings, which appeared to be the result of the disc herniation (herniation of the spine). As a result, the movement was ravaged by the department, the inflammation develops, occurs swelling.
In case of irritation of the nerve root, has arisen as a result of the displacement disc can produce pain of a different nature – dull, cutting, tearing, shooting. Directly onset of pain is usually preceded clumsy movement, contusion of the lumbar, the rise of the severity of the earthquake, the strong tilt or rotation of the trunk (in particular with the load), the long-term employment in the uncomfortable position of bending, etc
Usually, the pain occurs suddenly, first with a share of the size (rarely both sides), in some cases, pain can appear in the joint of the hip or the buttock. Through a short period of time (usually 5 to 7 days) of pain with the lower back stretches on one leg, she is seriously reached to straighten the affected arm. The person begins the instinct to "protect" the patient of finitude, of the protection of the load. For example, during walking of the person stops walking on the entire foot as a whole, the result is a lameness at the walk, paralyzed from the leg is almost always in the folded state, and it is cleaned to the side or in front – away from the main load.
The simplest way to get rid of on the time of the pain, as we have already said, is the pose of the embryo" - lying on the healthy side, is counted in the stomach of the injured leg. If the pain extends on both feet, he falls ill, lying on his back, pulling him with both legs bent. Turn on the belly of the man will be able to more the pain in this case, significantly increase.
Very characteristic is the sharp increase in pain during the entire movement, whether walking, torso rotation, or simply an attempt to get out of bed. Even the conversation, coughing or sneezing may increase the pain. In some cases, the pain is so severe that prevent the person from sleep. As a result, the man appears depressed state of the, may develop depression. This is why, often, people with problems with the spine of supplementation with a psychologist.
Often the syndrome of the pain caused by the compression of the nerve roots of the spinal cord, with disorders of sensitivity: the decrease or to an increase in sensitivity to pain, the patient's leg may appear a burning sensation, numbness, shrinkage, cooling, the sense of crawl "chills", etc
What is also very uncomfortable the pain, lumbo-sacral, lumbar, entrusts the foot, almost always in the form of the recurrence. If, of course, has not been full of treatment, but in this case, the person must know certain rules and conform to certain standards. The main cause of recurrence play the cold (IRA), hypothermia, intense exercise, etc
A means of first aid in such a situation, almost always, is a pain medicine. But this is only a temporary means, anti-circles of pain, without the help of a doctor in this case, don't do it. Almost certainly the doctor will prescribe you a serious treatment, which include the receipt of special funds, limitation of activity, massage, physiotherapy, etc
