Every person at least once in their life from time to time with back pain. Most often, this symptom does not cause any concern and independently passes. But there are times when ignoring it is not so simple. Back pain on the right may indicate a more serious disease than the usual physical strain. In each case, to prevent the disaster, it is necessary to analyze all possible causes of back pain, and if needed, seek medical help.
The first reason. Awkward position while working
The asymmetric position of the spine during operation, the tension of some muscles to the detriment of others or even just too long "sit-down" mode – this can lead to regular back pain after work.
Solution. To avoid this, a chair in front of a Desk must have enough hard seat and a straight back. Sit on it exactly, keeping your back straight, without bending the shoulders without tilting head down. The table height is chosen so that its arms bent at the elbows at a 90° angle. If you wear glasses, they should not force you to bend to the table or, conversely, to tilt the head back.
The house is also necessary to avoid "dangerous" awkward postures and movements. Do not wash in the tub, bending over it in a knot: use a basin, which should not be lower than the elbows. It is not necessary to wash the floors "in the crab position" (bent) – only MOP, with a fairly long handle. If you can't reach somewhere, better get down on your knees.
In the bathroom is attached to the wall of the handle. Mounted over the bathtub and near the toilet, it allows you to sit down, stand up and get out of the water without undue stress on the back muscles. At the same time will not slip on slippery tile or enamel.
If you brush your teeth and wash your face, do not stand over the sink, bending the back. Better to sit on a stool or to lift the sink in the bathroom at the same optimal height for your elbows.
The second reason. Back gets tired of the overload
It is reasonable to give the back some rest when fatigue had not yet manifested in full force. Even if the comfortable position, the muscles that are stuck in the same situation and reduced tension in the end will push on nerve endings and cause discomfort.
Solution. If the fatigue caused by long standing or sitting, the rest is primarily in changing posture. The task is to relax muscles. This is good to lie down, lift the legs. But if this is not possible, quietly walk five or six minutes.
The reason for the third. The back muscles are weakened and struggle to cope in the upright position
The back muscles need to be regularly trained to support the spine without effort with age in the sedentary way of life is becoming increasingly difficult.
Solution. The easiest way – walking. If you have not walked, start with half an hour to not excessively tired. Will help special gymnastics complexes for back muscles, yoga, swimming is not for speed, but for fun, Aqua aerobics. But with the simulators need to be handled very carefully – they can give unwanted hard load.
The reason for the fourth. Discomfort is an uncomfortable posture with the night while sleeping
The bed should be comfortable, allowing the muscles to relax. If they do not rest in the night, keeping the same bending of the spine, which they had to "keep" the day the pain can appear in the morning.
Solution. Sometimes the pain in the lumbar back helps just a pillow or cushion – helps to eliminate bending of the spine, which causes back muscles to tighten, and they rest for the night. If your back hurts regularly, not to dispense with orthopedic mattress – it successfully removes the load from the back. Not worth saving, it is better to buy the product, proven quality. It is possible to check that the mattress is not fake: put it on a big plastic bottle of mineral water and sit down on distance of 30-35 cm from it. The bottle should not fall. There are also anatomical, the receiving mattress. They perfectly relieve muscle, albeit very expensive. However, they are not appointed for sleep and not for very long lying down.
The fifth reason. Heavy bags
A sudden or excessive strain on the spine are the worst affected intervertebral discs: they are compressed, sometimes pressing on nerve roots. The pain of hell, and it is better to consider at once that such experiments are not for you.
Solution. Rising from the floor weight, it is impossible to do it overnight, with straight legs. Then the entire burden falls on the lower back. In front of the heavy object should sit down, straighten the back and so, with a straight back, gently, "take the weight". If you need to bend, legs should be slightly bent at the knees. Lean on straight legs also dangerous for the lower back. Will reduce the risk of a special elastic belt that supports the lower back. If not managed to prevent pain, will have to be treated long enough to take pills, painkillers, rubbing the sore spot ointments. Better to do it after consulting a neurologist. Help physical therapy, and massage – not in the first days of exacerbation, and a few days later.
The reason for sixth. Pregnancy and childbirth
In women during pregnancy and childbirth, the load on the spine increases by 2-4 times. Then the grown up baby firmly hangs all the time on mom. And year usually it is 12-14 pounds. Not surprisingly, spin does not stand up.
Solution. During pregnancy it is necessary to wear a support bandage style which is better to discuss with a specialist. And after childbirth should not be ignored, bandages, and sometimes a special belt that secures the lower back. They, by the way, it is good to use in almost any physical work. When carrying out any domestic duties, especially with a baby in her arms, young mothers useful to hedge using a special elastic straps that are slightly pulled back shoulders.
The reason for seventh. Back pain during menstruation
The location of the internal organs due to the increase in the size of the uterus is changed, consequently the muscles, usually supporting the sacrum and the back, to strain beyond what is felt as discomfort. But if swollen uterus or other organs put pressure on roots of spinal nerves, it can be very severe pain. If the added load on the muscles and ligaments associated with long walk (especially high heels) or athletic exercises, the back does not stand up to the end of the day.
Solution. In the critical days pity yourself, don't exercise, limit motor mode. It is also important to wear comfortable shoes without heels and, if possible, 2-3 times a day to take a horizontal position at least 5 minutes. It is also important to drink plenty of fluids, and if there is a tendency to edema, in this period, take the infusion of bearberry.
The reason for eighth. Hypothermia of the feet
If in a day or two before you walked barefoot on the cold floor or the ground, went out in thin tights and light shoes, the pain may be associated with inflammation of the ovaries or pyelonephritis. Here without serious intervention the gynecologist, or nephrologist is not enough. If the pain added a sharp sensation when urinating – possible cystitis.
Solution. If you have previously had inflammation of the ovaries – signal most likely came out because the pain in the lower abdomen can move in the lower back. Will have to go to the gynecologist, who will prescribe antibacterial treatment, suppositories or tablets that you need to take a week and a half or two. For the future, consider that in cool weather, need to dress warmer, it is better to prefer pants and closed shoes.
