The magic pill for back pain

▶ ️If your back hurts right now and you are reading this post – congratulations, you have already started treatment – and it is called patient education, if you understand the benignity of pain and are not afraid to continue your daily level of physical activity and not lie in bed – recovery will come faster!
⠀
🔺You need to understand a simple rule – for most people with back pain, the cause is nonspecific, that is, the pain is not caused by a specific disease that can be identified – most often it will be musculoskeletal pain.
⠀
🔺 Less than 1% will have a serious systemic cause (such as a tumor or infection)
⠀
🔺 Less than 10% – less serious specific cause (fracture, disc herniation)
⠀
❗️Radiculopathy (disc herniation) is a specific cause of pain! Let’s talk about it and https://pillintrip.com/ru/medicine/lustral separately.
⠀
🔺The second important principle is that nonspecific pain will eventually go away EVEN without treatment❗️
⠀
▶ ️Therefore, we place the main emphasis on non-pharmacological methods for back pain therapy!
⠀
These methods have a weak or moderate level of evidence in research – therefore, the choice depends on the patient’s capabilities (including financial), and on the availability of the method.
⠀
🔺 Spine exercises, dry heat, massage. And even chiropractic and acupuncture can help🤷♂️
⠀
▶ ️Medicine methods of treatment – pain relievers and muscle relaxants and https://pillintrip.com/de/medicine/azitrox-500mg. It is even recommended to confine oneself to painkillers in general, and use muscle relaxants as a second-line drug.
⠀
Do you see vitamin B here? No! That’s right, and I can’t see! 🤷♂️
⠀
🔺If you have CHRONIC back pain (> 12 weeks) – an additional mechanism is added to the formation of pain sensation, associated with the rearrangement of the perception of pain stimulus in the brain (central sensitization).
⠀
Imagine if you hold your hand over the fire for 12 weeks and then turn off the fire – the hand will continue to hurt, but not due to the action of the fire itself, but due to the reconstructed mechanism of perception of pain impulses in the brain.
⠀
▶ ️In order to act on this additional mechanism of pain, we use antidepressants or antiepileptic drugs.
