I blew my back. Symptoms in women, men, treatment

In women, quite often there is pain or discomfort in the spinal column. This is observed if the back is blown, there are accompanying deviations from the internal organs. Symptoms of the disorder depend on the degree of its neglect. Treatment involves a preliminary examination, which allows you to prescribe the optimal drugs in each case individually.

Causes of pain

The most common cause of back pain is considered to be in a draft for a long time. Cold air acts on the back, provoking vasospasm and inflammation of the nerve endings. This leads to pain and limited mobility.

There are other reasons that can provoke pain:

• The patient has a history of severe osteochondrosis. With this disease, the vertebrae are displaced as a result of thinning and gradual destruction of the intervertebral discs, which leads to compression of the nerve endings. The pain may worsen after a long stay of patients in rooms with low temperatures or outside.
• Inflammatory muscle pathologies that provoke pain, which intensifies after hypothermia.
• Diagnosis of chronic radiculitis. The symptomatology is aggravated with exacerbation of the disease and provokes severe pain, which extends mainly to the lumbar region.
• Overwork, as well as constant tension of the back muscles due to the patient's professional activity. At the same time, constant muscle tension leads to pain and inflammation in the nerve tissues.
• The presence of a curvature of the spinal column in a person. This leads to an incorrect distribution of the load on all muscles and the appearance of discomfort.
• Tumors of the spinal column or herniated discs that cause severe pain.

Some pathologies of the digestive tract can also cause pain. For example, with an exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, discomfort can be given to the region of the thoracic spine. In acute heart disorders, the pain also spreads to the entire spinal column, which worsens the general condition.

Common signs when the back is blown

A blown back (symptoms in women can manifest in different forms and degrees of severity) is a common problem among patients of different sex and age. Symptoms differ depending on which part of the back is affected. However, there are general manifestations characteristic of any localization of the lesion focus.

In the lumbar region

Discomfort in the lumbar region appears against the background of any disease in this area. In this case, the patient has a rather pronounced pain, affecting not only the affected area, but also the adjacent areas.

The condition is accompanied by limitation of movements, increased pain when changing body position. When tilting, the patient speaks of pulling discomfort, the inability to quickly change the position of the body. One of the common signs is considered to be quite pronounced pain in the limbs, which increases with bending or prolonged sitting.

In the area of ​​the shoulder blades

When the spinal column is affected in this area, the pain often spreads to the entire back. If the patient has a blown back, severe pain is localized precisely in the area of ​​the shoulder blades, which indicates the presence of concomitant neurological abnormalities. When lifting the upper limbs, pain is noted, the patient cannot lift weights and perform even simple household manipulations.

In the thoracic region

Symptoms of the thoracic spine can be acute in women and men. If the patients have a blown back, the signs almost do not differ from those that appear when the area of ​​the shoulder blades is affected.

Patients talk about pain of varying intensity, discomfort when performing household manipulations. In the case of damage to the thoracic spine, the symptomatology extends to the sternum area, some patients take it for heart pain.

Blown back and neck

With damage not only to the lower back or other part of the back, but also to the cervical spine in the patient in most cases, there is pain that extends to the entire back, as well as when other parts are involved in the pathological process spine.

However, accompanying symptoms are pain in the neck, manifested when:

• head movement;
• slopes;
• prolonged muscle tension.

Patients may also be bothered by:

• headaches;
• dizziness;
• fluctuations in blood pressure indicators.

These manifestations are associated with impaired blood flow to the brain.

With temperature

When joining the pain of body temperature, we can talk about the infectious or neurological origin of the pathological condition. A common symptom is pain that spreads to the back, joints, muscles, and the entire body.

Moreover, in patients:

• chills are observed;
• lack of appetite;
• headache joins.

Kidneys hurt

If the patient has a blown back, the pathology is not necessarily associated with muscle and nerve tissue disorders. Often, the manifestation occurs after hypothermia against the background of exacerbation of kidney disease. Discomfort in this case is concentrated mainly in the lumbar region, can be given to the thoracic region, the lower abdomen.

All muscles ache

With prolonged hypothermia and being in a draft, pain may appear not only in the back, but also in all the muscles of the body. Usually, in this case, there is an increase in body temperature and the appearance of symptoms of a cold.

A common symptom is severe back pain, which increases when a person has chronic pathologies of the spinal column and peripheral nervous system.

Specific symptoms in women

A blown back (symptoms in women are often associated with the reproductive organs) is one of the most common causes of pain in the lower abdomen. This is due to the fact that with hypothermia in patients, inflammation is observed not only of the nerve endings in the back, but also of the pelvic organs.

The specific symptoms of this disorder are:

• violation of the menstrual cycle;
• stitching sharp pains in the lower abdomen;
• the appearance of atypical vaginal discharge.

Quite often, a woman has pain in the bladder area, which increases with urination. There is also an increase in the urge to urinate, an increase in body temperature.

With a long course of the pathological condition, various complications from the kidneys and organs of the reproductive system join.

Symptoms in men

Men are much more likely to suffer from pathologies of the spinal column, which is associated with physical exertion due to professional activities and intense engagement in heavy sports.

However, there are specific symptoms, in addition to pain, that can worsen the course of the disease in men. After prolonged hypothermia and exacerbation of chronic pathologies, not only pain is observed, but also a deterioration in sexual function. Erection problems and increased urination.

In many middle-aged and elderly men, inflammation of the prostate gland is noted, which aggravates all symptoms, leads to difficulty in urinating and stagnation of urine in the bladder.

Differential diagnosis

To determine the exact cause and degree of neglect of the condition, patients undergo a diagnostic examination. Experts note that the most important is the identification of differences and signs of diseases that have a similar clinical picture.

Diagnostic method	Peculiarities
General inspection	The first stage of diagnosis, which helps the doctor to preliminarily separate different diseases from each other. The specialist listens to the patient's complaints, determines the localization of pain, palpates the affected area and identifies other areas in which pain is present. This makes it possible to exclude certain diseases, for example, to separate kidney pathology from diseases of the spine, or to confirm the presence of two diseases. Quite often, the percussion method is used, in which the doctor taps the lumbar region with the edge of the palm of the hand. With increased pain, kidney pathology is suspected.
Ultrasound of the pelvic organs and kidneys	This method is also used to exclude or confirm pathologies of the reproductive system or kidneys. If any deviations are found during the study, additional treatment may be prescribed.
Clinical and biochemical blood test	It is always prescribed to determine the general condition of the patient and the presence of abnormalities on the part of the internal organs. Quite often, the method helps to see the signs of pathologies that provoke back pain.
X-ray of the spinal column	This is one of the most common diagnostic methods in which the sections of the spinal column are studied. This is necessary to determine the localization of the affected area or to exclude the presence of diseases of this part of the musculoskeletal system.
MRI	This method is used in the absence of results from the use of other diagnostic methods. It helps to accurately determine the lesion and the cause of the pain. The method is considered one of the best for differential diagnosis.

After receiving the diagnostic results, the specialist prescribes treatment depending on the specific pathology.

Medication treatment

A blown back (symptoms in women and men may differ depending on the origin of the disorder) is one of the most common complaints among middle-aged and elderly patients. In this case, hypothermia is considered only a predisposing factor, while the main cause is any disease. Doctors prescribe remedies from different groups to improve the condition.

Warming ointments

To improve blood circulation in the affected area and relieve pain, it is allowed to use ointments with a warming effect.

The most effective of them:

• Capsicam has analgesic and pronounced warming properties. It contains camphor, as well as other components. The drug has a vasodilating and local irritant effect, which helps to eliminate pain and blood flow to the affected area. The agent is applied 2 times a day with a thin layer on the affected area, the treatment lasts up to 10 days.
• Apizartron has a warming, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect due to the presence of bee venom in the composition. The ointment is applied in a thin layer on the affected area, rubbed gently, the manipulation is repeated 2 times a day for no longer than 7 days in a row. The product stimulates recovery processes and accelerates recovery.
• Nyatox also has warming properties, but it has an effect due to the presence of a viper in the venom. The drug stimulates tissue nutrition due to blood flow, and also relieves pain, promotes deep tissue heating. Apply it no more than 2 times a day and no longer than 7 days in a row. In this case, the layer should be thin, it is necessary to rub the product lightly.

Such funds are used in the absence of kidney pathologies. They are prescribed only by a doctor based on diagnostic data.

NSAIDs

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are considered the best for pain relief, but they only help get rid of the symptom, while the anti-inflammatory effect is weak. Most often, drugs are used in tablet form, but injection drugs can also be prescribed if the symptoms are acute and require help quickly.

Common effective remedies:

• Meloxicam - solution for intramuscular administration with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The course of therapy with such a drug lasts from 3 to 7 days, it helps to eliminate pain and stop the progression of the disease. It is administered intramuscularly at 1.5 ml per day.
• Ketarol not only helps to relieve pain, but also has anti-inflammatory properties. Tablets are taken 2-3 pieces per day at regular intervals, treatment lasts no more than 5 days.
• Dicloberl possesses pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, helps to quickly eliminate symptoms and prevent their recurrence. 3 ml of solution is injected intramuscularly to the patient per day, therapy is continued for 3-5 days.

Such drugs are allowed to be used in the absence of severe pathologies of the digestive tract.

B vitamins

A blown back (symptoms in women are often acute) is a common problem among patients who spend a lot of time outdoors or in rooms with low temperatures. B vitamins are prescribed in order to improve the conduction of a nerve impulse with a neurological origin of the disease.

Usually, the course of therapy consists of the administration of NSAIDs in the form of solutions, as well as the intramuscular administration of pyridoxine and cyanocobalamin. In this case, the scheme involves the alternation of funds. On day 1, pyridoxine is injected in an amount of 1 ml, on day 2 - cyanocobalamin in the same dose. The course consists of 5-10 injections of each vitamin and 5-7 injections of NSAIDs.

Novocaine blockade

With severe pain of neurological and inflammatory origin, novocaine blockades are made in the spine. In this case, Novocaine can be used at a concentration of 0.5% or 2%. The area of ​​greatest pain is determined by palpation. Then 1 to 5 ml of solution is injected using a syringe.

The patient is in a prone position. After manipulation, it is recommended to adhere to bed rest for 2-4 hours. Such blockades are carried out no more than 203 days in a row and no more than 1 time in 3 months.

Treatment with folk remedies

Therapy with home formulations can be effective in the absence of accompanying deviations, as well as mild pain.

Bodyagi powder

Powder purchased from a pharmacy is used for compresses. It should be diluted with water. The procedure will require 20 g of powder. Water should be added gradually, stirring until a thick homogeneous mass is formed. After that, the agent is distributed on the skin at the site of the lesion, left for 1 hour. Manipulations are carried out for 5-7 days in a row, once a day.

Interior fat with horsetail

Homemade ointment should be prepared from the lard and dry crushed horsetail. For 50 g of melted lard, you need 20 g of dry raw materials. After mixing, the composition is in the refrigerator for 24 hours. After that, it is allowed to use it, treat the affected area 1 time per day, fix it with film or cellophane, leave it overnight. The course consists of 10 sessions.

Dry compresses with salt

Repeat the manipulations 2 times a day for 10 days.

Physical exercise

The set of exercises for each patient is selected individually, but there are several universal exercises, which include in almost every program:

• Tilts of the trunk forward in a sitting position with straightened and connected legs. Repeat 5 times.
• "Cat" - arching and arching of the back in the position on the hands and knees. In this case, the arching is done on exhalation. Repeat 5-7 times.
• Rocking on the back with the knees pulled up to the chest. A prerequisite is the girth of the knees with your hands. Swinging is performed for 10-20 seconds.

These exercises have contraindications, they are performed only in the absence of acute symptoms, signs of a hernia.

Physiotherapy

The most effective methods of physiotherapy are magnetotherapy and electrophoresis. The first method involves exposure to a magnetic field, the second - by electric impulses.

The course of treatment with such methods lasts 4 weeks. In this case, sessions are carried out 3 times a week. Their duration is 20 minutes. The procedures are carried out only under the supervision of a physician and in the absence of acute violations, contraindications. Physiotherapy is often combined with the use of folk remedies or medicines.

Consequences and complications

If left untreated, patients develop complications. The likelihood of self-healing is quite low.

The most common complications are:

• Compression of nerve endings.
• Loss of sensitivity of certain areas of the skin.
• Deterioration in mobility, decreased performance.
• Complete destruction of the intervertebral disc.
• Displacement of the vertebrae.
• The spread of inflammation and pain to other parts of the spinal column.
• Rapid progression of the underlying disease.
• Accession of complications from the internal organs.

To prevent complications, it is recommended to consult a specialist in a timely manner and undergo therapy.

In women and men of different ages, symptoms of the spinal column are quite common. Usually they appear if the back is blown, complications join. Timely diagnosis and treatment will allow you to quickly eliminate symptoms and prevent the aggravation of the condition.
