ICD-10 Code - Tumor of the spine (M42)
Lumbar osteosarcoma is a degenerative-dystrophic lesion of the spine. This spina bifida is one of the most common diseases in modern medicine. In both women and men, the disease can cause temporary disability, as well as disability.
Lumbar osteosarcoma has a chronic course, with an exacerbation stage.
Origin of disease
Medicine does not give clear reasons that can cause such a disease in both women and men. Therefore, we can conclude that the disease is multifactorial. The most common theory of the development of the disease is a process of systematic tension of the musculoskeletal system, non-physiological muscle tension, as a result of which the vertebral segments are overloaded, blood circulation is poorer. As a result, the discs degenerate, leading to lumbar spondylosis.
The following causes that lead to the development of the disease in women and men are no less common:
- The cause lies in endocrine and metabolic disorders.
- Causes, including a genetic predisposition to the disease.
- Causes stem from micro-trauma, as well as autoimmune disorders.
- The cause is associated with pathological processes of internal organs.
People who are most susceptible to lumbar spondylosis are those who have had a back injury or who lead a sedentary lifestyle.
Symptoms of the disease
Medicine will name the following symptoms, which manifest in different degrees of the disease in both women and men:
- 1 degree.You can note the manifestation of pain that causes nerve endings to be irritated. There are symptoms of local, acute or dull pain in the lumbar spine. Often the pain appears elsewhere and is called a reflex. The following symptoms may also be noted: impaired circulation of the extremities and ligaments, as well as internal organs. As a result of impaired blood circulation, there are symptoms of pain in the area where the ligaments are attached to the bone. Seals in this area are also noted. There are symptoms of pain in the surrounding partition, spreading to the lower extremities. The functioning of the urinary system may be disturbed.
- 2 degrees.You may notice symptoms of discomfort in the lumbar spine, constant muscle fatigue.
- 3 degrees.There are symptoms associated with lens syndrome. Such symptoms due to lens syndrome include a violation of the sensitivity of the affected area. Symptoms associated with lens syndrome do not appear immediately. At the onset, symptoms are manifested by sensitization, burning, tingling. Then there is numbness, until complete loss of sensitivity. Symptoms associated with lens syndrome cause motor system dysfunction, including paralysis and muscle atrophy. In addition, symptoms associated with lenticular syndrome are manifestations of pain, localized along the length of the leg. In addition to the signs with lens syndrome, there is a violation of the sensitivity and motor function of the lower extremities.
- 4 degrees.Pain symptoms with lens syndrome are less pronounced. At the same time, the range of motion of the spine is limited.
Basic treatment
The doctor makes a diagnosis based on the results of the diagnosis. MRI, ECG, ultrasound, and other studies will help establish the correct diagnosis. You will also need to have an X-ray examination.
How to treat lumbar osteonecrosis in women and men? Lumbar osteosarcoma involves a complex and lengthy treatment process. As a rule, such treatment works in the advanced stages of the disease, when there are multiple condyle or herniated discs.
Treatment should be selected and performed strictly individually in each case.
Treatment of muscle spasms should be carried out with the help of drugs - muscle relaxants.
Medicine has determined that treatment with muscle relaxants, along with the use of NSAIDs, physical therapy, and massage, contribute to a faster recovery.
Lockdown as a remedy
Blockade in osteonecrosis involves injecting the drug into the affected area. Treatment with methods such as blockade will provide immediate pain relief. Blockade includes local anesthetic drugs.
Treatment in such a way as novocaine blockade is the most common in modern medicine. To relieve pain, blockade is performed every three days. It may also be noted that osteoclast blockade is the safest treatment.
The blockade, in general, does not cause side effects, since the effect of the drug is local. It is possible to carry out treatment with a method such as an indefinite blockade, with each exacerbation of the disease.
In addition, to relieve pain, blockade is used to reduce inflammation, reduce swelling, and improve metabolism. To prolong the therapeutic effect, a method such as blockade should include several drugs at once (Novocaine and corticosteroids). The blockade should be performed by an experienced physician.
Proper nutrition is the key to health
For osteosarcoma, as with any other disease, nutrition needs to be balanced, low in calories, rich in vitamins and minerals.
The diets of both women and men should be rich in collagen, which acts as protective chondroprotectors.
Yeast and aspic fish are saturated with this ingredient. If you include meat with jelly in your diet, you can significantly improve the condition of your connective tissues. In addition, nutrition should include a sufficient amount of fluid intake to maintain the condition of the tissues in the intervertebral disc.
There is another diet for people with osteonecrosis. Which type is appropriate for each specific case, the treating doctor will determine.
Hoop as a means of prevention
A tool like a hoop has been known since the time of our parents. Washers are used to improve health and maintain shape. You can cycle both at home and in the gym. The most important advantage is the availability of gymnastics and simplicity.
But treating with a method like a hoop has its downsides. Before turning the ring, you need to consult your doctor. If there is a lumbar hernia, do not twist the ring. If the thoracic spine is diagnosed, preventive exercises can be performed.
If you twist a healthy person from osteoporosis, you can improve the function of the back muscles. In addition, the sealing ring contributes to the active functioning of the vertebrae, which is an excellent preventive measure.
In summary, it is worth noting that if you twist the ring with lumbar osteonecrosis, the entire load will be poured on the affected area. The bracelet may ease the pain, but after a while it will return with greater force.
Hirudotherapy as a treatment for osteonecrosis
It is possible and possible to cure diseases with hirudotherapy! Leeches have a healing effect on the human body. Due to the activity of leeches, painful manifestations are reduced, the therapeutic effect of consumed drugs and physical education is enhanced, and the patient's recovery is accelerated.
Treatment by applying a leech is a beneficial effect of the enzyme produced by it. One such enzyme is secreted with the help of leech saliva.
During treatment, the doctor applies a leech to the affected area. The leech bite penetrates the upper layer of the skin, secretes saliva into it, which can cure thrombosis, prevent blood clotting, and accelerate biochemical processes. In addition, the action of a leech is aimed at strengthening the walls of blood vessels, as well as their dilation.
Medical leeches are completely sterile. To cure a leech nest, you need to follow the sequence of actions - the duration of the first two treatments with leech nests lasts no more than thirty minutes. The third session involved the presence of a leech on the body for an hour. The wound after the leech is not treated with anything, and after the leech is removed, the patient should not lie on his back. This is necessary to prevent bleeding.
It is possible to cure osteonecrosis in both women and men with 10 courses, between which you need to rest for 5 days.
And the most important rule: a timely visit to the doctor will help avoid negative consequences.
