I believe that most people have experienced low back pain, some people have mild symptoms, rest for a while, and some people have severe pain, pain to the point of not being able to bend, can not move, and even can not get out of bed, what should be done? Many people choose to buy some painkillers to eat, and after a few pills in the stomach, the pain is relieved a lot. So is this approach desirable? Waist pain to take painkillers, in the end it does not work? I think it is still necessary to talk to you about this knowledge.
If you have back pain, can you take painkillers?
Of course, you can, but the premise is that you must find out the situation of your low back pain, and you can't blindly take painkillers!
At present, severe low back pain is often caused by small joint disorders, acute lumbar disc herniation, acute lumbar sprains and other causes. If the patient's friends have low back pain in these situations, and the pain is unbearable, the body is painful as soon as it moves, and it has to maintain a fixed forced position, at this time, as long as the diagnosis is clear, it is necessary to timely analgesia, so that the patient can alleviate or avoid pain.
If you find out that you have lumbar spine problems and low back pain in your daily life, can you take analgesics?
Yes, but not casually. Pain medications may be used if the patient's pain has seriously affected the quality of sleep and the activities of daily living, but not to the point where surgery is necessary. For example, pain caused by lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation or small joint disorders, so that patients can not sleep at night, can not move normally during the day, at this time we can take some analgesic drugs. However, some patients take painkillers as soon as they have low back pain, regardless of severity, which is not advisable.
Why not recommend taking analgesic medication casually or on your own?
There are many diseases that cause low back pain, and finding the cause can completely solve low back pain. Clinically, the main complaint of many patients is low back pain, but the final diagnosed disease is very different, which requires patients to go to the relevant departments of regular hospitals, let professional doctors carefully distinguish and distinguish, and clarify the cause before the correct treatment can be carried out. Of course, patients without medical foundations generally do not understand the cause of their low back pain, so it is not recommended that patients take their own medication to avoid delaying the disease.
Second, analgesics may mask symptoms, for some unclear diagnosis of low back pain, take analgesics, the doctor may not be able to judge what type of low back pain you are, which makes it difficult to diagnose and treat the disease;
Third, the pain itself is a kind of protection for ourselves, because there is pain, there is limited activity, it will be more difficult to do some actions, and this will not make the injury further aggravated, play a protective role. In this case, if the analgesics are used very casually, the pain is relieved and then exercised at will, which will lead to a gradual aggravation of the underlying cause of low back pain.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that all pain must be clearly diagnosed before analgesia. Low back pain can be taken with painkillers, but should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor, and attention should be paid to a principle, that is, you can not take painkillers as much as possible, do not abuse.
