Three minutes to understand why back pain?

Lower back pain patient: Doctor, recently I have unbearable lower back pain, I can’t turn over when I lie down, and I can’t get up in the morning, what do I need to do? There are many causes of low back pain, including lumbar muscle strain, lumbar vertebral osteophytes, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, kidney disease, reproductive system disease, etc. It is recommended to consult a doctor for further examination. It is recommended to consult a doctor for further examination, such as ultrasound, X-ray, etc., to rule out kidney stones, ureteral stones, or other reproductive system diseases. Have you recently suffered any trauma? If you have recently suffered a traumatic injury, it is advisable to go to the hospital for an X-ray to check whether there are any problems with the lumbar spine or spinal bones (e.g. fractures). If you have not suffered any injury, this condition is most commonly seen in lumbar muscle strain, due to prolonged sitting or sitting in an incorrect posture, as well as sports, heavy lifting and other acute or chronic lumbar muscle injury, resulting in pain or inability to turn over Lumbar muscle strain is mostly treated conservatively, and it is recommended that the main focus of bed rest, the mattress can be appropriately hard to give the lumbar region with adequate support, and at the same time to give a hot compresses, traditional Chinese medicine, physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, and so on. If the pain is serious, you can take oral or topical pain relieving drugs such as Cilopodium capsules or Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, etc. Meanwhile, pay attention to keep warm and avoid catching cold. If the situation doesn’t get better in 2-3 weeks or so, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time for a further MRI examination. Lumbar spine MRI can find out whether the lumbar disc is herniated, whether it presses on the nerves, and whether there is degeneration of the intervertebral disc. Lumbar disc herniation can be treated conservatively first, such as absolute bed rest, physical traction, Chinese medicine physiotherapy and other methods, and at the same time, appropriate medication can be added, generally can effectively control the symptoms. If after 2-3 weeks of standardized conservative treatment, the symptoms still do not improve, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time for surgical treatment. If surgical intervention is needed, there is no need to worry too much. Because the specific surgical methods need to be considered according to the patient’s condition, age, underlying disease, degree of physical difficulty and other circumstances. It should be noted that with the development of modern medical technology, lumbar spine surgery has become a very common technique, and this type of surgery is developing in the direction of less trauma, quicker recovery and less cost. In particular, the development of spinal endoscopic technology in recent years has led to a wide range of minimally invasive techniques for the lumbar spine.
