Because of this, blood circulation of the nerve fiber is disrupted, its chronic oxygen starvation occurs, and tissue swelling appears. As a result, nerve cells become particularly sensitive to all kinds of adverse effects. Even the most insignificant external or internal factors can worsen the condition of unfavorable tissue. This is manifested by a pain in the spine, which signals a danger. What to do with radiculitis, find out in the article on "Medicamentous treatment of lumbar radiculitis".
So, the main sign of sciatica is pain. Its place directly depends on the place of spinal injury. It is accepted to distinguish cervical, shoulder-scapular, thoracic and lumbosacral radiculitis. With cervical radiculitis, there are severe pains in the neck and occiput, worse with coughing and any head movements. A person with cervical radiculitis can feel dizzy, hearing worsens, and a staggering gait appears. With lumbar radiculitis, there is a sharp pain in the neck, occiput, shoulder, shoulder blade and hands, which is amplified by turning the head, moving the hand, coughing. With chest radiculitis, there are bouts of severe pain in the intercostal spaces, which seem to encircle the chest. In the lumbosacral, the most common form of radiculitis, there are severe pain in the lumbosacral region, buttocks with recoil in the thigh, shin, foot, groin. Pain increases with movement, especially during walking and slopes. In this case, hip joints suffer, too, since the innervation of the vessels feeding the structures of the hip joints is impaired.
Infectious radiculitis (their possible causes - cold, flu, rheumatism) arise in connection with the presence of pathogens in the body. The cause of symptomatic radiculitis is the damage to the roots caused by the pathology of the surrounding tissues, in the first place - the tissues of the spine. If you do not start on time to treat sciatica, then it can take a chronic form. In this case, any metabolic disorder, infection, careless movement or even nervous stress will provoke an attack of radiculitis every time, that is, cause a sharp pain in the back. Such seizures will be repeated very often. With catarrhal diseases we deal mainly with toxic damage, with intoxication. In addition to intoxication, various disturbances of acid-base balance are possible, which changes the blood composition towards acidification. All this can cause disorders and pains in the lumbar region, where the discs are thinned, and ganglia that have a triple vascular wall appear between the vertebrae. With intoxication and edema, these membranes are compressed, and the blood flow slows down. In these places, more toxins accumulate, acid radicals (local acidosis arises) and, naturally, hypoxia occurs. Against the background of changes in the body's environment - acidosis - a lot of histamine acid is formed, which leaves the interstitial space and causes painful sensations.
This again is due to the fact that sluggish, subacute sciatica already takes place: he once was, and then calmed down. In acute respiratory infections and influenza, radicular syndromes become more acute and worse. At the same time, as the sore spot swells, the lower back binds and pulls down the roots. As a result of their irritation can be reactive pain in the hip joints, breaking pain in the sacrum, coccyx. The cause of these pains is radicular changes. If the normal blood supply in the lumbosacral region, normal blood flow in the root region, if there are no factors predisposing to delaying toxins, then radicular changes may not occur, but lumbar radiculitis will arise: muscles will accumulate more toxins, as a result of their action and struggle for life there are formed slags (oxymosphoric acid, ketone bodies), which will cause painful sensations. Radical, including radicular, syndromes in acute respiratory infections and influenza affect the weak points of the body, where there is a predisposition to the corresponding pathology: the blood flow has broken, there are adhesive processes, vertebral displacements that cause compression syndrome. With compression syndromes in the local area, the same changes occur in the abdominal cavity as a result of conglomerates, adhesions, lymph node involvement, and inter-node nodes. As a result of squeezing the vessels, toxins can accumulate there, a toxic process can develop; conglomerates that already occur are capable of increasing; new ones can be formed. Thus, the infection and the accompanying intoxication can lead to lumbar radiculitis. These diseases are not very severe, their medication is easy, but if you do not do the necessary therapy right from the beginning, the pathological process can go far.
Treatment:
1. Hot shower, hot drink (due to this the body temperature rises). Increasing the volume of circulating blood improves its flow; the liquid dilutes toxins, so intoxication decreases; in addition, toxins are released to the outside with sweat.
2. Respiratory gymnastics 1: short breath - pause - exhalation. With a short inhalation, carbon dioxide accumulates, which expands the narrowed places, oxygen comes to its "shoulders" there, all metabolic processes become stronger, energy metabolism products are quickly destroyed, for example, lactic acid decomposes into gas and water; something that has not oxidized (ketone bodies, various amino acids), is oxidized and digested by the body or excreted.
Thus, deep spastic and toxic processes are of particular importance, because they can lead to serious complications. The measures outlined above make it possible to avoid these complications. If you swallow tablets and analgesic medicines (for example, the same sallicylates that seem to relieve pain, but actually spasmodic muscles and blood vessels and reduce local inflow-outflow of blood), the swelling will not subside, and the pain will arise again and again. On the other hand, toxins accumulate in large vessels, resulting in increased arterial and venous pressure. If there is varicose veins, the use of chemotherapy will necessarily lead to negative consequences. Therefore, medicines should be of natural origin, and when using them, it is necessary to take into account those changes of toxic, vascular, nervous nature that occur in acute colds, including influenza. It is very important to quickly and promptly restore order in the body. The question arises: do toxins accumulate in the bones? The fact that the capillaries of the bones are very small, strongly wriggle, so even under normal conditions, the flow of blood in them is difficult. For example, for large overloads, athletes do not ache muscles, but bones, because muscles are supplied with blood, and blood can not pass through small convoluted blood vessels of the intraosseous structure, so there are various kinds of blood clots, microthrombi that cause pain in the bones, and more often in the subperiosteal space. In the subperiosteal space, often there are vascular pain papules, infiltrates, which are very well practiced by the fingers and are removed. Much worse, when these formations take place in the bones, it is much harder to cope with them. To ensure that an aggressive infection does not spread throughout the body, urgent measures must be taken.
Medicamentous treatment of radiculitis:
1. Drugs that relieve inflammation; painkillers and warming agents (for example, bee or snake venom, tincture of bitter pepper).
2. Visiting the bath.
3. Stretching position: the stomach on the table, feet on the floor (15-20 minutes), then rubbing with ointment.
4. Exercises for the spine.
1. Bend forward, leaning on your hands, fix the position for 15-20 seconds, then smoothly straighten. Then repeat 4-5 times.
2. Lean your hands on the table and slowly shake your pelvis.
5. Rubbing with ointments based on herbs.
6. Tough bed.
7. Complex exercises for the hip joints.
How to make rubbing correctly
Hands should be warm. On one hand pour or put a tool for grinding. Apply ointment to the affected area and gently stroke the sore spot from the bottom upwards for 10-20 minutes (with severe pain - 5 minutes). Watch for the presence of ointment on the hand, so as not to touch the affected area with a dry hand. After the procedure, the sore spot must be warmly wrapped and try not to chill. It is also useful to use compresses: the ointment is lightly rubbed into the skin, covered with polyethylene (ideally it is desirable to cover with fresh leaves of one of the plants - lilac, sage, mint or lemon balm, and top 1-2 leaves of burdock or cabbage leaves), cover with woolen cloth and fix.
What to do with pain in joints
It is important to understand that with colds, joints can also affect a relatively healthy person. However, if he has caught a cold, he is already unwell: perhaps, as a result of accumulated fatigue, immunological exhaustion, prolonged stress, the body is weakened, so the infection was activated. On the other hand, the infection can be so strong that it can even hit a completely healthy person, "bombarding" it with toxic substances. Finally, there are various kinds of periostitis - diseases associated with rheumatoid joint damage, when infections "dormant" in the blood fall into small vessels. The smallest vessels are located in the joints. There are not very strong chronic "dormant" foci with a not very active infection, resembling saprophytes. But if before saprophytes settled mainly in the nasopharynx, now they can be anywhere. This is the so-called latent infection. What are its symptoms? These are pains, deep or subcutaneous, subperiosteal; pain in the abdomen, which then appear, then disappear; headache; temperature 37.2-37.4 ° C, and sometimes a burst of temperature at 38 ° C followed by a decrease; state of fatigue. If this infection is present in the body, and more "malicious" and active virus is being introduced there, all the "dormant" foci "wake up" - in the joints, the subperiosteum. The organism is sharply weakened, because it fights both against the internal enemy and against the external, and it is difficult to fight on two fronts. Then we get such a joint reaction. When a person from time to time suffers, for example, rheumatism (and rheumatism is a defeat of the heart, its shells - endocardium, myocardium, heart valves), then for various kinds of OP3 and influenza, the rheumatoid process can be activated. But we are now talking about joint pains, and they are just related to the fact that small vessels are affected, an endarteritis occurs. If blood still somehow "squeezes" through the arteries, then in the venules (venules are small blood vessels that provide the outflow of oxygen-depleted blood from the capillaries to the veins), it lingers because they become inflamed and swell, and blood can pass through them only with increasing pressure, and the pressure in the capillary network is difficult to create. As a result, there is swelling, there is accumulation of toxic materials, and pain syndrome occurs. If you properly treat acute arthritis with swelling and redness, they pass pretty quickly. I have a lot of experience in medical treatment of these diseases, including those that are accompanied by pain in joints after injuries, squeezing.
Do not take methindol and voltarene, that is, non-steroid hormones that spasmodize the capillaries and disrupt the flow of blood. Spasmodic vessels against the background of the toxic situation in them are obliterated, that is, overgrown. There is a secondary resistance to the blood flow - the number of open capillaries decreases, the remaining capillaries under increased pressure, the blood passes more slowly and there are swelling. But the most important thing is that the less the vessels are involved, the less nutrition the tissues get, therefore the ischemic local syndrome develops, which provokes the development of microspikes (fibrosis, sclerosis) due to the fact that the blood does not get there, and lymph arrives. The process of formation of another tissue, the middle between normal and fibrosis, begins. This state lasts a long time, so we have a chance to reverse the process. I know these jelly-like infiltrates (subcutaneous, in adipose tissue, muscles, they can be anywhere: in the kidneys, in the lungs, etc.) that arise in this state. They are painful, because the receptors in them are compressed and irritated. These infiltrates are typical for chronic, sustained damage to the organism by resident groups of bacteria. Settling in the subcutaneous tissue, they form a protective envelope around themselves, so that the white blood cells do not destroy them one by one. Liquids go there less, there is a jelly-like edema, and then condensation.
Thus, the infection of joints and the occurrence of pain in them is most often associated with chronic infectious-inflammatory "dormant" processes, with a dysfunctional situation in the vessels. When another infection, stronger, enters the body, it rushes to weak spots with a depleted vascular bed. There it lingers, settles and begins to multiply. There comes less blood, oxygen, metabolic processes are slowed down there. Using the eastern terminology, we can say that there is accumulated energy Yin (cold), and there is no energy Yang, therefore the energy of Qi, that is, the electric energy, does not pass there. Biochemical, electrical, and magnetic parameters are also reduced. This situation stimulates the development of an infectious inflammatory process. This is especially true of the legs, because they have a very heavy load. Pushing blood from below, although the pressure in the veins and the negative, is still quite difficult. Moreover, we sit, then for a long time we take some kind of pose, and therefore zones of compressed veins are formed, the outflow of blood worsens, in the places located below it stagnates. And this is good for the infection, there it starts to activate.
While the infection rushes in the bloodstream, it is difficult for it to linger somewhere and settle. Infection needs plasma, which it can get in tissues, where for this there are necessary conditions. In joints, such conditions are created. Joints have articular bags (bursa), in which, due to the effect of infection, there are ischemic processes and chronic slow flaccid bursitis develop with pain in the tendons during the popliteal fossa; Seals are formed, which prevent bending and unbent joints. At first they do not even ache, but simply pull and interfere. At this stage, it is very important to just knead them. Even a single kneading sometimes leads to a full recovery, as we push the infection out of the hearth, and the white blood cells are "sorted out". In infiltration, the infection is still weaker, and it is easier to destroy it than in the blood. Under the described situation, it is very important to start working in a timely manner. Now we know how to perform medical treatment of lumbar radiculitis.
