Low back pain is a relatively common pain in daily life, in order to be able to carry out the initial self-check, Randall Kokusai Medical teaches you to distinguish which kind of low back pain it is by yourself. Low back pain can be a problem with the lower back, or it can be something else. Look at the following introduction, compared to the time when your low back pain occurs you can roughly determine the cause of low back pain. However, you probably understand their own situation, it is best to seek medical attention, their own toss, can not afford to hurt! First, self-check seven categories 1, morning pain, evening pain: sciatica, such as lumbar disc herniation compression of the nerve root. 2, morning pain, daytime light: pain caused by tissue inflammation, such as arthritis, myofasciitis, ankylosing spondylitis, lumbar muscle strain, thoracic spondylolisthesis, sometimes accompanied by upper limbs and intercostal localized radiating pain. 3.Morning back pain, or even at midnight that is the beginning of pain: similar to a myofasciitis type of syndrome, the cause is not clear, may be due to mental tension and endocrine disorders and other reasons caused by microcirculation disorders, preferred in young and middle-aged people. Waking up with pain in dreams: pain that occurs in the dead of night, often cancer pain. The pain will be aggravated if you gently knock on the painful place. 5, night pain is heavier than daytime pain: ankylosing cristitis, typical manifestations: low back pain, morning stiffness, lumbar spine activities in all directions are limited and the thorax can not move normally. 6, sleep feeling lumbar pain, get up after all right: may be lumbar muscle strain 7, bending pain or pain aggravation: mostly seen in lumbar muscle strain. Common diseases include: (1) lumbar intervertebral disc herniation; degenerative diseases: lumbar osteophytes, hypertrophic crural inflammation, lumbar spine disorders and intervertebral disc herniation; (2) lumbar triple transverse herniation: buttock pain when bending over; (3) lumbar major muscle injury: sudden right-sided bending pain; (4) lumbar disc herniation if not combined with spinal stenosis, lumbar spinal instability; standing pain, sit down on the back pain; (5) degenerative Lumbar spinal stenosis: symptoms appear and worsen when standing and stretching. Second, protect the waist four strokes 1, will bend the knees and bend the hips Some people bend over and bow their heads, the waist is twisted. “You see, orangutans, monkeys will not have low back pain, a close look at them will find that, although they are always walking catatonic, but they are bending the knees and flexing the hips.” The best way to do this is to bend the knees while bending the hips. His own usual habit is to bend his knees and flex his hips at the same time as he bends his back for sure. 2, don’t always let one side of the force in life, many people used to use one side, such as always like to use the right hand or right shoulder, long-term let one side of the pressure, it will lead to uneven stress on the waist, the muscle is easy to strain. “Many people walking the dog, used to one-handed pull, long time easy to hurt the waist.” Experts suggest that usually must keep the lumbar force balanced, exertion, the left and right sides to take turns to exert force, such as backpacks, or left and right hand rotation. 3, warm up before exercise Exercise leads to back injury patients are very common, exercise itself is a very good thing, many people sports injuries, one of the most common reasons is not a good warm-up exercise and other preparatory work. So that the body suddenly and quickly into the exercise state, it is easy to eat. So sports enthusiasts in the movement before, must remember to warm up, such as standing twisting, bending and pressing the legs, enhance the nervous system reaction ability. 4, don’t long time a posture Keep a posture for a long time, it is also easy to hurt the waist. Many people work sedentary, or like to lie on the bed or sofa to play cell phones, reading books. In this state, the back of the waist is suspended, the weight of the upper body all pressure to the lumbar spine, over time, easily lead to disc herniation. Housewives long time stooping mopping the floor, will cause muscle fatigue, reduced flexibility to stiffness. So sedentary people must stand up activities, sitting, add a cushion, so that the waist does not hang. Mopping may wish to grow the mop some, to avoid excessive bending.
