Treatment of heel spur with dimexide

Today spurs are one of the most common problems that force patients to consult a doctor. The main symptom is the strongest pain in the affected area. The main location of the spur is the heel and sole of the foot. In these areas, redness develops gradually, an eminence appears, a growth of the damaged area. If you feel the foot, the damaged area will be much hotter than the rest of the foot. People often compare this pain with piercing the legs with nails. There are many ways of eliminating this problem, in particular, dimexide is used  with a calcaneal spur.

Treating heel spurs at home

Self-medication can not be done. Only then can you achieve positive results in treatment, and most importantly - do no harm. Only conservative treatment can be used at home. In most cases, this is an etiological treatment. But also often use symptomatic treatment, which is aimed at eliminating symptoms, alleviating the condition, and removing the pain syndrome.

Very effective local treatment, which uses ointments, creams, various medications. Widely used therapeutic exercise, which allows you to normalize blood circulation, eliminate stagnant phenomena. Of the drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the main means, which are aimed at reducing vascular permeability, removing the inflammatory process. Also these drugs improve blood circulation, normalize lymph exchange, act as blockers of inflammation.

Also used chondroprotectors, which allow to restore anatomical structures and physiological functions, eliminate inflammation in the joints, ligaments. This accelerates the regeneration of damaged tissues.

Apply special ointments, intended for the treatment of spurs on the legs. They stimulate tissue repair. The mechanism of action of these ointments is simple: spur growth stops or slows down. It should be rubbed into the skin as long as the ointment is not absorbed completely. The duration of therapy is 1-12 months.

Many homeopathic ointments contribute to the removal of inflammation. Herbal extracts give fewer side effects, effectively relieve swelling.

Dimexide with cracks on the heels

The main purpose of this drug - to have a local effect. In the blood they do not penetrate, there is no suction, so it is considered relatively safe. In addition, it provides a local anesthetic, has the ability to repair damaged tissue, prevent the development of the infectious process. But rather quickly destroys the microflora, which tends to fill the wound surfaces. This is a good prevention not only of the local infectious and inflammatory process, but also the generalization of infection and the development of sepsis, bacteremia. Therefore, the drug is widely used against cracks, wounds on the surface of the skin.

Does dimexide help with a calcaneal spur?

It significantly improves the quality of life, because a person with a spur almost always experiences severe pain, practical can not stand on his feet. In addition, that it relieves acute pain, also has a warming and therapeutic effect. This contributes to a gradual resorption of inflammation, fragmentation of deposits. This is a good warming agent. As you know, warming contributes to faster recovery. The drug raises the local temperature directly at the site of inflammation, eliminates stagnation, facilitating the resorption of seals and deposits. Its action is long, so the effect is fairly stable. Eliminates spasm.

There are several ways of applying. Some use it as a means for foot baths, adding a few spoonfuls of concentrated solution to a tub of hot water. It is important to ensure sufficient heat and steam, so it is recommended to put your feet in a basin of water and completely wrap your feet, up to your knees with a thick towel and a warm blanket. If the water starts to cool, you need to pour hot water to such a state that the legs could be in this water, but felt tingling, and it was hot. The procedure with the addition of hot water is repeated 3-4 times. After this, completely wipe the feet is not recommended. You need to gently pat them and put on warm woolen socks (preferably from natural wool). It is better to go straight to bed, so it is recommended to perform the procedure at night, before going to bed. You need to wrap your feet with a warm blanket, do not open it.

Pharmacodynamics

The drug is applied to the skin, to the focus of inflammation. Moreover, it has the ability to be actively absorbed by both damaged tissues and normal. It is deposited in pathological tissues, gradually penetrating to the bone growth or compacting. Then there is its active absorption. The main effect is the inactivation of hydroxyl radical groups. At the same time, metabolic processes are substantially improved, the state of cells and tissue metabolism are normalized. The products of decomposition do not accumulate in the tissues, but are discharged outside. Thanks to the activation of local immunity, T-killers are activated, which recognize the bone growth as a foreign agent and begin to develop antibodies against it. As a result, its fragmentation and gradual resorption occur. As the metabolism increases, the excretion processes are also at the required level, so the tissue remains easily outward, and the remains of the necrotic seal dissolve. In addition, it is possible to achieve sustained analgesia. This is achieved due to the fact that the drug binds to the receptors responsible for the perception of pain and temporarily blocks them. Thus, the signal to the brain about pain is not perceived and not transmitted. Antiseptic action can prevent the development of the inflammatory process, prevents the active multiplication of bacteria, affecting their reproductive apparatus, mobility. Most often it destroys the bacterial cell wall, resulting in a bacteriostatic or complete bactericidal effect (depending on the dosage of the drug and the duration of treatment).

Pharmacokinetics

The basis of the drug is its ability to penetrate through biological membranes and natural skin barriers and provide the necessary action. The active substance has the ability to accumulate in inflamed tissue. Gradually, as necessary, the substance penetrates into the main focus of inflammation and has the necessary effect. Most often it is built into the metabolic chain and has a local effect on the basic biochemical processes in the tissues.

How to dilute dimexide with calcaneal spur?

To dilute, use distilled water or saline (or the remedy that the doctor prescribed). Let's consider on a concrete example.

If you need to get a 10% solution of Dimexide, this means that 100 ml of the solution should contain 10 ml of dimexide and 90 ml of the agent used for dissolution. Similarly, to prepare 40% dimexide solution, take 40 ml of dimexide and add water to 100 ml.

Compress with calcaneal spur with dimexid

The most effective way to apply dimexide is precisely the compress. The advantage of this method is that it additionally heats the heel, resulting in a favorable soil for resorption of seals, activation of metabolic processes.

It is not difficult to make a compress. To do this, you need to prepare a remedy. It must necessarily be diluted, since it is sold only in the form of concentrate. Dilute usually five times with distilled water, or another liquid that the doctor appointed. Then they take gauze or bandage, add about 5-6 times, moisten in the prepared solution. Place on the affected area. From above necessarily put a layer of cellophane or a plastic bag. This will provide a "greenhouse effect" and will allow the lower layer to always remain wet, and accordingly, active. Then another layer is applied from above - from the usual fabric. It will absorb condensation and moisture. On this layer a thick layer of woolen material (scarf, or scarf) is applied. It must ensure reliable heating.

Dimexide with novocaine with heel spur

Novocaine is an excellent remedy that not only effectively relieves pain and enhances the effect of many other drugs. Accordingly, it enhances the action of dimexide. Works well in the form of lotions on the affected area. To prepare lotions, dilute the working solution. It is impossible to name the concentration and the regimen for the use of drugs, since only a doctor can select them, individually for each patient. There is no common, universal scheme. In order to prescribe a schedule and choose the dosage, you need to look at the results of the tests. In this case, both laboratory indicators and images are important.

In the prepared solution, moisten gauze, folded in 5-6 layers, as it is done for the compress. Then it is evenly distributed on the affected area. The layer should be uniform, it is better to wrap it around the entire heel. A thin layer of dry cloth is superimposed on top, it is better to use linen or cotton cloth. The compress should be kept for at least 40 minutes, so you need to choose a free time when you do not need to rush anywhere. On the leg, you can put on a sock, which will fix the lotion. It is recommended to lie down while lying down, while putting your foot up, on the wall. This will normalize blood circulation, accelerate metabolic processes. Accordingly, the effect will come faster, the spur will more actively resolve.

Treatment of heel spur with dimexide and diclofenac

Diclofenac is an excellent anti-inflammatory and anesthetic, so it is often prescribed for the treatment of calcaneal spurs. The dosage of substances is determined by the doctor individually for each patient.
