Less common view of the osteochondrosis of absolutely all the available thoracic. In this way it is considered that it is more terrible, as the symptoms of degenerative disc disease thoracic spine, often, by mistake, attributed to other diseases, for example, myocardial infarction or angina. Of each article you can learn, so if it is terrible this disease and how to treat it, as well as become familiar with images on the theme of pathology is is.
What is GOCH?
The disease is a dystrophic degeneration of the intervertebral discs of breastfeeding and of the spine.
Is of the chest of the division of the 12 vertebrae. It is less mobile and is protected muscle corset. Due to these properties, the osteochondrosis is considered as the most rare pathology is is.
However, taking into account the universal tendency to an increase in the prevalence of osteochondrosis, all common are converted in the episodes of degenerative disc disease with localization in the division.
For a deeper understanding of the essence of the GOCH, invite you to familiarize yourself with the code of the disease and its forms of icd-10.
The specificity of this part of the spine?
Low mobility is related to its anatomical characteristics of the connection of the vertebrae with the ribs and the sternum provides the possibility of generating quite mobile and a system which less suffers injuries and external actions.
Statistics has shown that the low load in this department provides support to the emergence in him of any kind of complications is left to pick very rare. But their appearance is not something extraordinary, for example, the failure of the posture and the curvature can be certain causing the conditions that lead to the emergence of diseases of the spine.
The causes of the
The fundamental cause of GOCH are dystrophic changes in tissues, and the complication metabolic of the action due to the poor diet and the fool of load on the intervertebral discs m? s.
Often chest of osteochondrosis is formed as a result of sitting too long in the is uncomfortable touching pose, with the presence of scoliosis, forming uneven load on the spine.
The manifestation of Dorigo is expressed court further reinforced by the pain, has a look of a sudden heart attack. In addition to the restriction of the mobility of the back may appear difficult to breathe.
When dorsalgia pain, localized in the area of the affected units, with a long relatively weak gave and is accompanied by the difficulty of the activity in the lumbar-feeding or in sheyno-breastfeeding departments of the spinal column.
The degree of
The doctor distinguish 4 degrees of the disease:
- Occurs due to the rupture of intervertebral disc, caused an abrupt movement or a huge burden. The patient in this period feels a strong pain in the spine and the tension of all the muscles.
- Diagnosed when there is signs main of the intervertebral discs (the bulk of up to 5 millimeters) and the presence of the unsustainable intervertebral of a post. Should be be be careful consideration of diagnosis, to identify this stage of the disease.
- It is characterized by frequent feelings of pain, difficulty of breathing, small violations of the activity of the heart and headaches. In addition, there is high possibility that the intervertebral hernia.
- It is considered as the most dangerous to human health. When it comes to the appearance of osteophytes that compress the spinal cord and its nerves.
The symptoms of the
Later we will have all the most important things about the symptoms in different stages.
In the beginning of the
In the first period of the disease entirely to itself does not express. Often, even very expressed pain syndrome come from the neurological disorders (nausea, "crosshairs" in the eyes, etc), that the patient is not linked with issues of the back.
The pain in the chest
It is observed in the area of the heart, the chest, the back, on the side, in the upper part of the abdomen. The discomfort is aggravated when you inhale and exhale, the movement. You can smell the numbness of the left hand, and interscapular area.
The feeling of tightness
Pain between the shoulder blades from time to time, accompanied by sensation of shortness of breath. Doctors recommend not to panic and to take and determine the beat of your pulse.
In the event that the heartbeat is not greater than 100 beats per minute, the probability of pathology is the activity of the lungs or of the heart is very small.
Reflections of the syndromes
Reflects the tension paravertebral muscle is observed when dorsalgia, often asymmetrical, more expressed on the side of the convexity of the deformation.
The syndrome of the front of the chest wall. The onset of pain is a consequence of the reflected by the effort and degenerative change Sterno-klyuchichno-mastoid muscle, starting at your sternum.
The pain increases when the load on the muscles of the ribcage, turning the head and body.
The compression
Represents a strong and sudden outbreak of pain, so referred to as "the centre", which is manifested in the interscapular place and is able to appear at any time. Directly the time of the seizure, the patients are presented as "dagger blow, followed by a sudden spasm in your back muscles.
In addition to pain, manifested as difficulty breathing and a substantial limitation of the freedom of movement. What is a complication of degenerative disc disease selected newspapers can last up to several weeks.
That dangerous syndrome root?
The osteochondrosis, which is formed with a syndrome of root, it is always accompanied by pain. When this pain spasm, I feel it in the chest, is often similar to angina. But unlike her, the pain factor you can not eliminate the reception of the vasodilator of the drug and the interruption of physical activity. Every movement of the trunk, and, in addition, the cough and the strong deep breathing cause a significant increase in the pain.
General signs of root of the osteochondrosis of breastfeeding and the division, in addition to pain prostrelov, are considered to be the peresias partial or absolute to referred to referred to lack of sensitivity and the modification of the reflexes suhozhilnih of the tissues identified in the neurological process of the survey. In addition, this syndrome may be accompanied by loss of hair, edema of the extremities, lividity of the skin.
Symptoms in the subacute phase
After the sharpening begins subacute step in the process of breastfeeding and of the osteochondrosis. The pain and difficulty of breathing remain, however, are much less active. The person no longer looks for the convenience of the location of the body in that they do not feel discomfort.
The duration of subacute period of up to 2 weeks. If you meet all the health units of the assignments is weakened, for that is the lack of posts of the symptoms. The failure mode leads to new exacerbation of osteochondrosis.
The remission
In the remission phase may appear small not comfortable feelings to the change of weather or after hypothermia. A sharp pain occurs only when the osteochondrosis 2-4 severity level due to the instability of rotation or tilt of the body.
Psychosomatic diseases
Let's see psychosomatic diseases of the cough.
Why is it the cough?
In case of the pathology is in the spine of the cough is accompanied by pain in the throat, in the greatest measure of a side. In the beginning your doctor's expression resembles that of angina. In advanced stages of the degenerative disc disease that is very irritating feelings become permanent, is more acute in the night.
Neurological signs, such as headache, dizziness, the fog in the eyes, blurred vision, tired feeling, shortness of breath, appear to displacement of the intervertebral discs, when compressed, the nerves and the arteries.
These feelings can be felt in the stomach area and, in consequence, the man turns to the study of the liver, pancreas, etc, without thinking that the cause of the pain – the osteochondrosis of breastfeeding and of the division. In the case of a combination of some forms of chondrosis – cervical and thoracic, the people may complain of foreign body sensation in the throat, which becomes very marked after exercise or after the stay in is uncomfortable touching posture.
Of vegetative components
This can be:
- the dryness and flaking of the skin in the area independent of the innervation of the nerve;
- local failure of the sweating and thermoregulation (also in the area of innervation);
- chill of limbs, the fragility of the nails in the legs;
- the pain which simulate diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., gastritis, ulcerative disease of the stomach, cholecystitis, and so forth);
- pains in the kidneys, which in reality are not related to the pathology is renal (no changes in the urine and ultrasound);
- pain in the heart area, similar to those of angina and even myocardial infarction.
If it is the spasm and vertigo?
When osteochondrosis is observed spasm and dizziness.
What affects pathology is of is of the vertebrae, can with it, increasing the pressure?
When the osteochondrosis can be diagnosed also increase the pressure. As well as in the division is found the artery, a clip that influences the pressure.
Can you warm up the body in the steam bath in case of increase the HELL?
Turkish a slight pressure is not lost. During the 3 and 4 of the vapor phase of the hypertension, is forbidden, because it leads to death. The 1 and 2 stage of hypertension, target organ was not damaged, so that the visit to the toilets is acceptable.
The digestive tract and disease
When thoracic form of osteochondrosis pain in the intestine appear when jamming roots in the area of 8-9 of the vertebrae (it disturbs the innervation of the digestive tract).
Painful impulses from nerve endings to the spinal cord intestinal to the road, increase your peristalsis. Person uneasy sensation of swelling, pain, cramps in the area of the duodenal ulcer.
Angina and disease
The thorax has many nerve fibers, and several of the main plexus, after irritation of the pain appears. Otherwise, the disks of the column to be narrowed, leading to pinching of the nerve root in the division of the vertebral column and, in consequence, the pain simulating a heart attack.
Other common symptoms
The violation of the sensitivity in the hand: to make themselves more "cool", I feel cold, for they "face goosebumps".
In certain variants of the signs of the degenerative disc disease of breastfeeding and the division seem to the panic attack (fear, palpitations, sweating). In combination with the pain behind the sternum (breastbone) this may be a symptom of a myocardial infarction, for this reason, it is best to take the medicine a vasodilator and call an Ambulance, which will make the ekg.
Interruption of the activity of the digestive system: frequent exacerbation of gastritis, constipation, abdominal distention, periodic discomfort in the stomach, periodic diarrhea – with no margin for error in the diet.
Dorigo
Dorigo is sudden and sharp pain. Occurs when a person is found in a particular posture for a long time, and then the sudden change of her. You can appear shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing, the muscles poorly controlled.
Dorsalgia
Dorsalgia is a stretch chronic pain, which is not expressed, brings the patient experiences discomfort.
Arrhythmia
Of damaged in any degree of spinal roots passes painful impulsatsiya several national authorities, in particular, and in the heart. When this resulted in the emergence of the symptoms of the various options of arrhythmias, however, the most frequent of them is the arrhythmia (optional spasmodic cordial reduction) or sinus tachycardia (uniform frequent the beats of the heart).
The diagnosis
The diagnosis is fairly complicated. This is because this form of the disease has no obvious specific features specific degenerative disease of the spine, and that goes with the health of the manifestations of the pathologies of the internal organs.
When you separate the diagnosis of degenerative disc disease of breastfeeding and the division must focus its attention on the symptoms of diseases of the internal organs. When it occurs, and the inefficiency of the special treatment must pass differential diagnosis, it with precision can help to determine a pathological process.
The detection of the disease, which led to the appearance in the chest area of the pain syndrome, begins with the collection of the history.
When this specialist with the highest precision known the nature of unpleasant sensations and the cause, was to them before. This can help supposedly to establish the diagnosis of a patient can be chest of osteochondrosis. Followed by by step will be individually and survey of the affected area. This offers the possibility of detecting the presence of an intervertebral hernia.
When it receives indirect evidence of the formation of breastfeeding and of the osteochondrosis, the medical laboratory blood tests. This type of study is considered necessary, as it indicates the presence in the body of the inflammatory process accompanying the degenerating degenerative current in the spinal post.
But, for that to the maximum correction establishing the underlying cause of the onset of ailments in the chest, to determine the degenerative disc disease, in development, on average, the department of the vertebral column, must be completed:
- Laboratory studies and diagnostic tools (ecg, ultrasound, x-rays).
- Neurological inspection.
- Magnetic resonance imaging, which allows to determine not only the presence of intervertebral hernia, but to what extent will surprise degenerationism the action of the nerve endings.
- X-rays in 2 projections.
The treatment of the
Only a holistic approach to treatment will give you the opportunity of ending up with absolutely all the features of osteochondrosis, suspend, or all of to stop their spread in the health of the discs and the vertebrae. When the pathology is is 1-2 degree apply conservative forms of therapy. For the osteochondrosis of 3-4 level is inherent to the formation of large hernias. To eliminate compression of the blood vessels, and spinal roots, it may be necessary to surgical treatment.
Processes medications
In the treatment of breastfeeding and of the osteochondrosis apply medications of different substances clinical-pharmacological companies. In the initial phase, tools are used for the intravenous administration to quickly provide to the medicinal action. After a few days of injectable solutions replace, tablets, ointments, patches.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
Nsaids have aroused analgesic, anti-inflammatory, decongestant impact. Locate strong pain will grow grow to the intramuscular administration of solutions.
For the removal of small, shameful feelings between the shoulder blades, apply tools for the development of the application. And with minor aches and pains of well-resolved nsaids by mouth.
Muscle relaxants
For the removal of the muscle spasms produced in response to a large amount of pain, apply to muscle relaxers.
Chondroprotectors
In pathology it is of level 1, course the adoption of chondroprotectors promotes the renewal of damaged units. In other types of medications are prescribed to improve the exchange of substances in the affected sector of the spine, the prevention of the progression of the disease.
Preparations of vitamins of group B
Vitamins are introduced in the drugs of the schema of patients with pathology is of is of any level of severity. Its use helps to increase the blood flow, improvement of the activity of the peripheral nervous system, the resumption of trophic and innervation.
The set of vitamins of the category B exerts a good influence in the degenerative disease of the nerves and the musculoskeletal system.
Physiotherapy
In the treatment of breastfeeding and of the osteochondrosis apply magnetotherapy, lazeroterapiya, uhf-therapy, sinusoidal currents, shock wave therapy, with appliques of diesel and ozokerite. When the flare-ups are performed are to electrophoresis, phonophoresis with corticosteroids, anesthetics, vitamins of the category B, protective cartilage.
Massage and manual methods
The massage contributes to the solution of pain between the shoulder blades, relaxation spazmirovannah of the skeletal musculature.
The osteochondrosis therapeutically effective of all types of traditional massage, vacuum, acupuncture, connective tissue.
In house conditions massage comfortable using an electric massager with a long handle.
Gymnastics and physical therapy
When the osteochondrosis 1 level per day of most important most important lessons of the physical culture medical, give you the ability to move without the use of medications. The treatment is carried out by the maintenance of the muscles, improves the vascularization of tissue-nourishing elements. In other variations of the gym and the constant activity can help to inform the inclusion in the destructive process healthy of the vertebrates of the pieces, continue with the remission phase.
Exercises at home
Exercises in a standing position:
- leans forward, lifting alternately bent legs;
- inclinations towards the alternatively hands;
- leans forward, trying to touch with the hand opposite of the foot.
The number of repetitions — 10 to 12 times in 2-3 approach.
For the exercises in the supine position you need a sports rug or a aggregate of two times that of the blanket:
- being in the belly to lift the legs and arms at the same time;
- lying on the back for lifting the upper part of the body, stretch the hands to the feet;
- lying on back straight 1 leg, do the other, trying to touch the knee to the floor.
Each session should be done 7-10 times.
Folk remedies with the chondrosis
Decoctions and infusions of pharmaceutical plants, ointment, alcohol, and oil of the friction, the packs neurologists allow you to use after the execution of the therapy.
The home remedies that are used for the removal of minor ailments between the shoulder blades, sometimes they will appear already after the exercise. Apply to the roots of celery, and sunflower, you can also make the ointment.
Feature of therapy at the time of aggravation
The treatment involves:
- the location of the local symptoms of pain medications and pain relievers, for internal use;
- the bed rest;
- toe corset for fixation of the vertebrae.
In the event that the worsening of the heavy, you should call an ambulance. In the case of hospitalization in the hospital doctor watch the state of the patient and request that necessary, medications.
How to remove the heart attack?
The pain in the recurrence period of breastfeeding and the osteochondrosis is acute, piercing, so you should provide first aid. Ill have to calm down, put on a hard surface, the concealment of the warm blanket. In the case of which the repetition is accompanied by rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, high anxiety, it is necessary to call the doctor. To relieve the pains allows for the adoption of any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication.
Complications and consequences
In the absence of an intervention chest of osteochondrosis may be a factor of pulmonary fibrosis, arrhythmias, vascular dystonia, the displacement in the worst of the activities of the gastrointestinal tract, the pathology is is sexual and the reproductive function of girls, and of men.
Without operational, the correct treatment of which is able to cause the follow-up of the disease:
- protrusion and herniation of breast-feeding, and of the spinal column;
- the compression of the spinal cord;
- problems with the heart, the gut, the liver, the kidneys and the pancreas;
- rape in the duodenum, peristalsis in digestive tract, dyskinesia of the gallbladder;
- intercostal postherpetic neuralgia — by the displacement of the or irritation of the intercostal nerves.
The prevention of the
Prognosis is positive with a timely detection of the disease, in the realization of complete treatment. In the case of that came the complications of breastfeeding and of the osteochondrosis, only the compliance of all the health units of the assignments will give the possibility of achieving stable remission.
As prophylaxis of the pathology is is neurologists recommended to exclude from the normal life style promoters of their cause. Is the excess weight, low motor activity, lack of vitamins and micronutrients, the excess load on the spine.
The correct position in the leisure and sleep time
Proper seating position. On upholstered furniture to be not recommended. The excess pressure on the spine can help to avoid such a state, if the housing is compatible sciatic of the hill. This can be only a hard chairs. The height of the chair should be on an equal footing with the legs. The stop must rest on the ground. Every 15 or 20 minutes you should change the position of the legs, perform warm-up exercises. Loin should be porous borders in the back of the chair. The body must keep straight.
Stand correctly to the osteochondrosis. If there is time, in the vertebral column lies a large part of the work, in particular in the kidneys.
- To help your spine to reduce the load of work, every 10-15 minutes to change the posture.
- Should be based on the 1, on the other leg.
- It allows you to walk in the place, that is to say, were it not for the column, and move.
- Sometimes it is necessary to assign is a player, stretching the arms upward and then to commit full-sigh.
These procedures are necessary to remove the fatigue of the muscles of the back, the nape of the neck, the shoulder.
As a good night's sleep?
Lying on the back with bent peruvian peruvian of the feet – to the east of the vertebrae remain physiological for them by the state, unlike the stance, when the foot of straightened – when it muscles of the lumbar area remain in the yarn.
Laying in position by the fetal – side with toned chest bent a peruvian a peruvian the feet. For comfort possible to put a small pillow under the feet. In this position the spine is extremely relaxing, and the sick feel better.
Medical advice
In each complex of the welfare of most important most important classes of gymnastics played an important role in the decision of swimming. It is very effective for the prevention of degenerative disc disease. It is possible to swim and as a medicinal method mentioned above arising osteochondrosis, but not in the moment of aggravation of the disease, only if there is no complaint about the discomfort in the spine and the extremities.
A good doctor, the result offers a novel system of the association of massage. Pain syndrome is removed similar to a massage from the first procedure.
Diet and nutrition during pregnancy
Many pain medications during pregnancy are contraindicated, for this reason, neuroscientists to give the benefit of the drugs for external use — garlands or ointments, gels and patches. In the case of that without taking tablets does not pass, their dose is considerably reduced. At the time of the gestation of the children, the main methods of the therapy of breast-feeding, and of the osteochondrosis — massage and physical therapy.
Nutritionists advise patients to abstain from meat fat, fats, soups, cold meats, domestic and cucumbers in vinegar. You should reduce the nutrition of the amount of salt, the initiator, the development of edema. Each day you should drink approximately 2.5 litres of liquid — water, vegetable juice, fruit and berry bushes of fruit, juice, compotes.
To avoid problems with the breast, the division of the vertebral column, often before the first symptoms to see a specialist. Do not self-medicate. If it is suspected of breast osteochondrosis should be a diagnosis, to have the opportunity to differentiate chest of osteochondrosis other diseases.
