Osteochondrosis of lumbar spine is a disease that is a special form of spine. Patients with such illness complain about fatigue quickly, back pain, legs, limiting movement activities. For osteoarthritis, there is a deformation of the interatorebral disc, with their height reduction, dysplasia and Coracoid the growth of the vertebrae. When diagnosis on X -ray, Dischanks can be visible.
The deformation of cartilage tissue during the development of joints is a complex process, including changes in biochemical and blood vessels. First of all, the fibers are destroyed, due to the result that pulpose is put into it. As a result, the torn fibrous ring and hernia of the disk are formed. In this case, lower ball segments and lower Lover people suffer the highest load. The hernia of the plate, tightening the spinal cord or its roots, becomes the cause of back pain, responding in the leg.
The strongest sciatica in the human body is formed by the roots of the spinal cord. It is them, as well as lower lovers, stimulated with osteoarthritis. From the Latin name of sciatica, related to this, the second name of the disease has been formed - Ishias.
Due to the structure of cartilage fabric, intervertebral plates, are special cartilage structures, no longer can perform all their functions fully. This leads to the loss of flexibility and mobility of the spine. The processes, at the initial stage of the disease, only affects the intervertebral disc, gradually applies to the vertebrae itself.
Radicolite Discogen, considered one of the most common symptoms of osteoarthritis, is found in most of the fifth people over the age of 30 in the world. At risk, people of working age are often at risk. Osteochondrosis loses its ability to participate in active activities and often cause defects.
Symptoms of lumbar osteoarthritisThe main symptoms of lumbar osteoarthritis are serious back pain. However, in addition to this sign, there are some others. Therefore, patients with this disease quickly tired, complaining about headaches, fatigue and discomfort. Annomption at the back does not allow you to choose a convenient place for sleep, so your body cannot relax and recover completely after the end of the day. Losing power forced patients to minimize physical activity and avoid pain. This leads to the fact that over time, he is unable to perform even simple actions, for example, to provide his own family needs.
Problems in the work of the genital system can also be one of the symptoms of lumbar osteoarthritis. They appear in the form of pain in the kidney area. In patients with osteoarthritis, urination is interrupted, the unexpected appearance of nonsense discomfort is possible. This leads to the instability of the vertebrae, due to the deformation that is not fixed by the disc. The load on the spine causes the movement of the lumbar part from sacrum when the gravity of the force is in contact with it. Such a process leads to damage to internal organs, problems in their work. In women, ovaries, appendages and uterus are often affected, and the potential is disturbed in men.
Osteochondrosis is characterized by an increase in the sensitivity of the leg, including stops, hips and lower legs. They are cramps that can lead to complete loss of pulse. The skin of the patient with osteoarthritis is very dry, flaky and covered with geese in uncomfortable areas. In pain, sweat is disturbed.
All symptoms of osteoarthritis can be classified into the following groups:
Rook syndromeThe thinning of the intervertebral disc leads to the loss of stable vertebrae. Having become mobile, they begin to uncomfortable and squeeze the blood vessels and nerve roots with sharp movements and heavy physical efforts. This process minimizes pain in the lumbar region, but they continue with new vitality in the nerve is compressed. The pain is acute and drilling. The most discomfort is shown in the lower legs, thighs, feet and buttocks. The uncomfortable feeling makes the patient change the appearance, based on the opposite side of the nerve.
When the nerve roots are stimulated for a long time, inflammation, swelling, venous stagnation and their poisoning occur. The pain applies to muscles, ligaments. It is the most acute in physical activity moments, especially if it is done without warmth right after sleeping or resting state. The pain is often accompanied by increased sweat, replacing the feeling of chills.
The manifestations of piercing syndrome also include tingling, numbness and loss of sensitivity. The muscles have lost their voices, so the patient cannot tolerate long -term physical activity, for example, going down and lifting the stairs, quickly tired. The functions of the pelvis are broken in particularly serious cases. In this case, even the appearance of paralysis and paresis is possible.
Magnetic syndromeNear nerve roots are blood vessels, compressed during deformation. At the first stage of development of bones and joints, the arteries are squeezed periodically, but then a contracting has a constant characteristic. In this case, a Lome answer occurred, the patient had to stop and rest by long walking.
Closing blood vessels leads to the fact that pelvic organs do not receive the necessary nutrients. This causes pain inside the hips, Perineum, and the buttocks up to their paralysis.
Vertebra syndromeUnder the influence of pain, ischemia and psychiatric syndrome, the skeleton of patients with osteoarthritis is deformed. A person began to bend his back, he had pelvis and spine, weak muscles, atrophy. All of these changes affect the gait, which is adjusted depending on the pain area, becoming stressed and uncertain. Gradually, the entire musculoskeletal system is exposed to osteoarthritis and the discs continue to collapse.
Pain syndrome (pain for lumbar osteoarthritis)The discomfort and discomfort in the back are the main symptoms of osteoarthritis. The nature and power of pain vary depending on the development stage of the disease.
At first, it was only felt in the waist area at the time of increasing the voltage of joints, muscles and ligaments, meaning when performing exertion. It can also be continuous pain. But with the development of osteoarthritis, acute pain or change occurs even when sneezing, cough.
Touching, as prescribed, allows you to determine the seal in the muscles. A attack of pain can last for a few days, and all of this time the patient must observe the rest in bed to minimize the uncomfortable feeling in the back. Any sharp movement, lifting weights causes discomfort.
Causes of lumbar osteoarthritisThe following main reasons for the development of lumbar osteoarthritis are distinguished:
Uneven load on the spine. According to experts, osteoarthritis is characteristic of a person like a biological species, because it is largely due to his way of life and directness. The need to maintain the position of the body in a certain position requires the continuous stress of the musculoskeletal system. The optimal load on the spine will be in a vertical position. In the position located on the back, it is the minimum, next to - a little more. But in the sitting position, the load on the lumbar spine increases significantly. The tilt of the body forward creates an additional voltage for the front side of the vertebra and spine. Therefore, it is advisable to change the position of the body, for the muscles to relax and change the load on the spine, and keep it straight.
Lower. A sedentary lifestyle, car use and public transport, spending a large amount of time with computers and TVs - all this contributes to developing problems with the spine, including osteoarthritis. A significant part of the population is lack of motor activity. A passive lifestyle leads to the fact that the musculoskeletal system is weakened. In the sitting position, the spine has to bear the maximum load, which becomes the cause of the deformation of the cartilage tissue, and as a result, the joints of the waist area. Therefore, it is important to periodically stand up and perform a set of exercises. When a person spends a significant part of the time in the bending position, the muscles are curved and sounds long and sound loss.
Physical activity is too high. Increasing movement activity, like its disadvantages, can also cause osteoarthritis. Back pain often worries about athletes who are participating in heavy athletics. This sport requires lifting weights, creating additional tension for the back muscles and stimulating the formation of Intervertebral hernia.
The posture is incorrect. In the curved position of the spine, the load on it is unevenly distributed and this leads to the deformation of the discs. The same effect is affected by improper walking. The people and the elderly fall into a risk group, because over time, the intervertence discs become less elastic, lose their ability to exercise and are more likely to be damaged.
Disability of skeletal systems and genetic trends, injuries and infectious diseases. As a rule, osteoarthritis causes congenital problems with the musculoskeletal system. In addition, the cause of the disease may be the natural fragility of cartilage. Osteochondrosis also develops as a complication after different lesions for the spine, osteomyelitis, tuberculosis.
Flat feet. In patients with flat feet, the foot set performs depreciation functions, as in the case in normal conditions. Therefore, when moving, the entire load is made on intervertebral disks, due to their rapid wear and tear.
Overweight. Additional kiogam is a source of burden to the heart and skeletal muscular system, including the spine. According to statistics, people with overweight are more susceptible to diseases.
The process of inflammation in the body. The development of osteoarthritis is facilitated by factors such as hormonal changes, problems with the joints of the spine, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, hormonal weakness, digestion and cardiovascular system.
Life. Many patients do not pay attention to their health: they move less, do not sleep enough, incorrectly eat. This leads to increased fatigue, violating psychological and stressful state. All this makes the body very vulnerable and contributes to the development of lumbar osteoarthritis.
The degree of osteoarthritisThere are 4 degrees of osteoarthritis of the waist:
The cracks appear inside the yarn, filled with a substance from the jet, causing irritation. At this stage, the deformation of the intervertebral disc is poorly manifested and manifests itself in the form of reflected symptoms. Patients may complain about heart and lower back pain. At the back of the cause of discomfort, sharp movement, lifting weights become. Depending on the characteristics, two types of pain are distinguished: Lumbalia and Lumbago. In the first case, it is stable, and in the second time it occurs suddenly;
The destruction of the yarn continues. However, there is a decrease in the distance between the vertebrae, the nerve ends are pinched. At this stage, a phenomenon like Pseudospondylisthesis of the waist area is characteristic. This is the name of the process of moving the vertebrae compared to each other, leading to pinching nerve ends and causing pain. The spine is characterized by abnormal moving ability. With bone disease at the second level, the patient complains about the discomfort in the back, in the waist area, hot and cold is felt alternating. The pain is manifested by seizures, during that time, goosebumps appear on the skin and enhance strengthening;
The last fiber ring was torn, and the coat nucleus was pressed outside. Intertevral hernia appears. The nuclear squeeze into the area of the spine canal leads to the pressing of the vessels and roots of the spinal nerves.
Spine deformation is formed by Lordosis, Kyphosis or Scoliosis. With Lordosis, the spine is converted forward. A violation of its normal position complicates a lot of work of internal organs and their systems. With Kyphosis, the upper spine is bent and the feeling of stooping back in advanced cases occurs. The side curvature is manifested in the form of scoliosis. When a patient has osteoarthritis with such a curvature of the spine inclined forward, the asymmetry becomes noticeable thanks to the blade or ribs protruding;
The final stage of osteoarthritis is the most dangerous, because the last spine is deformed, which makes the activity full of exercise. Bone growth becomes noticeable on X -ray. Although the pain does not bother patients for a while, this does not show improvement. 4 levels of osteoarthritis usually ends with defects.
