The loin hurts: why and what to do?

Muscle fatigue at the end of the day is quite a natural process, especially if the day was associated with heavy physical labor. Most often fatigue hurts the lower back, the muscles of the arms and legs. But there comes such a time when a person starts to notice that the loin hurts and is at rest, while walking the pain intensifies and gives it in the hand, then in the leg. It is becoming more difficult to bend, it is almost impossible to relax the back muscles, even when lying down. The pain is intensified, making you think about it throughout the day every minute, then stops completely, which leads to the oblivion of a recent painful process.

So, most often, many diseases start and go, which for a long time manifest themselves only as back pains. Until the pain becomes permanent and intense, a person does not pay attention to them, continuing their usual activities. In the meantime, a tragedy is being created inside the body, which is then known as "suddenly" and diagnostics begins, prolonged treatment, elimination of complications and gradual rehabilitation.

The waist hurts? What could it be?

When the lumbar pains to establish the true cause giving such a symptom, it is very difficult, especially relying only on the patient's complaints. It is necessary to know what kind of lifestyle a person leads to, what is inclined, what chronic diseases are, what drugs are taking, whether there is a genetic predisposition to endocrine and other types of diseases. To make an accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to conduct an analysis of a number of special instrumental studies, to trace the causal analogies of these results and the available data obtained in the patient's interview.

There are cases when back pain testified about a whole complex of diseases and it was not a single diagnosis but a complex list of diagnoses reflecting multiple disorders in all organs and systems of the body. Similar results are often found when a patient seeks a doctor with only one complaint for back pain.

To consider pain a natural manifestation can not always be, of course, there are such situations, for example, a wound, a burn, a bruise, which, naturally, will be accompanied by pain, but to ignore, even in situations with examples, pain for a long time is impossible. Any pain, sooner or later leads to the detection of serious damage to internal organs by pathogenic microflora or inflammatory processes, destructive degeneration. The most frequent causes that lead to the appearance of pain in the lower back are the problematic organs of the abdominal cavity, the small pelvis and the disease of the back itself. Let's name all probable causes, following on a course of an arrangement of bodies, moving in a top-down direction: 

• problems with the respiratory system. With pulmonary pleurisy, the lower back often hurts. The pain is due to the fact that the accumulating fluid in the pleural region of the lungs leads to an increase, they begin to press on the underlying organs, the muscular framework undergoes a tension that extends to the muscles of the waist. Prolonged non-passing hypertonicity causes severe muscle pain; 
• diseases of the digestive system, in particular, ulcers of the duodenum and stomach. Ulcers not only in the acute stage of inflammation give lumbar pains, but also in a state of remission, may manifest as persistent cramping pains in the affected organ and aching pain in the lower back; 
• Many endocrine diseases for a long time do not show themselves in any way, except for low back pain. This "secrecy" greatly complicates the diagnosis of this type of disease, because even professionals from medicine do not always manage to link lumbar pain with the endocrine system. A similar pattern is often observed in the detection of secondary osteoporosis; 
• inflammatory processes in the pancreas. The development of pancreatitis leads to the appearance of sharp and acute pain in the left side, in the hypochondrium, with irradiation in the lower back or pains surrounding the environment; 
• if the lower back pain, then you should pay attention to the liver. The development of cholelithiasis passes with a marked symptomatology, including pain, with localization in the lower back; 
• inflammatory and infectious diseases of the urinary system. Here and all kinds of kidney disease, kidney stone disease and cystitis, men should not rule out prostatitis; 
• acute and chronic processes in the organs of the reproductive system. In women, often lumbar pain can signal the presence of endometritis and adhesions in the small pelvis, abdominal cavity, myomas and other benign neoplasms on the uterus and in its cavity, ovarian cysts give pulling pains in the side and waist; 
• tumor formations with localization in different parts of the body also cause back pain.

In this list there are only the most common diseases that have a lumbar pain in their symptomatic complex. However, this is not all the reasons why the lower back may hurt. The back, like the shield of our body, also has many structural components, entirely or partially composed of muscles. Even problems with the cartilaginous tissue can cause intense pain. Let us now consider the causes of spinal pains associated with the musculoskeletal apparatus of the lumbar region: 

• fatigue or overstrain of the lumbar muscles (as a result of the natural process); 
• hernia of intervertebral discs; 
• presence of osteochondrosis and osteoarthritis in the lumbar and lumbosacral regions; 
• stretching of the muscles of the lumbar region; 
• trauma of the spine.

Having looked through the given lists of possible causes, as a result of which the loin hurts, it becomes obvious that independent attempts to get rid of unpleasant sensations in the back - just do not make sense.

What if the lower back pain?

There is already a banal phrase, stating that before beginning any treatment, a detailed diagnosis is necessary. Many people in spite of everything, still continue to act independently, choosing methods of treating a patient with a back on the principle "once it helped, it will help me too." Once again I would like to ask you to pay attention to the list of reasons given above, it clearly shows that treatment is impossible until the cause is established.

Do not apply hot or warming compresses, if the lower back pain, in order to relieve the pain, the cause of this pain may be an inflammatory process, for example, in the kidneys, but the patient does not know about it. Another thing, if it is a question of the lumbar myositis. Here the hot action of the compress will be very useful.

One has been relieved by the short-term use of a vodka compress, and the other takes a long time to take strong painkillers, and the pain still worsens and the feet, after each attack, become "wadded."

If, for some reason, there is no trust in the treatment of modern medicine, the profiling clinic should be treated at least with a diagnostic purpose. Modern diagnostic devices are able in a short time to detect all the disorders that are present in the body. With the support of laboratory methods of research, up to genetic analysis, the diagnosis should be made unmistakably.

To select the most optimal method or course of treatment, having the results of the survey, you can visit several specialists, in different clinics and medical centers. Having thus received multiple opinions on the diagnosis, recommendations for treatment, one can see an objective picture of how and why the waist hurts, understand the mechanisms of pathology development and choose the most suitable specialist that inspires confidence to you, with whom the success of treatment will be guaranteed .

Until diagnostic measures have been taken, use alternative medicine methods or experiment with your own medicinal prescriptions is not worth it. Applying not appropriate medicines, it is possible not so much to provoke the development of side complications, how much to "lubricate" the picture of the real cause, which can further complicate the process of setting the right diagnosis.

It is important to remember, as a sign - since the back is hurting, it means that a meeting with a doctor is not far off.
