Pain at the junction of buttocks and waist

The connection between the buttocks and waist is the lumbar spine, which is an important part of the human body. Lumbar pain is generally an important manifestation of lumbar disease, which is related to factors such as people maintaining a certain posture for a long time or excessive labor of the patient. There are many treatments for lumbar spondylosis, among which the more effective and common ones are medication, physical therapy, blockade therapy and surgery. Below we will introduce the relevant knowledge about lumbar spondylosis in detail.

1. What is the pain at the junction of the buttocks and waist?

The soreness, stiffness and pain at the junction of the waist and buttocks should not be taken lightly. This symptom is a manifestation of lumbar spondylosis, and is also related to long-term waist fatigue, surfing the Internet, local degeneration, etc. It is generally because the waist is often in a flexed or extended position (long-term desk work, lifting heavy objects, staying in one posture for a long time, etc.), and the waist muscles are over-fatigued to form lesions, blocking the meridians, causing poor blood circulation, and causing spasms in the muscles and nerves of the waist and legs, causing soreness, stiffness, and pain in the waist and legs, thereby causing lumbar spondylosis. It is best to use the method of external application of traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, because this method of treatment is the safest and most effective, and it is not easy to relapse after the symptoms are relieved or the disease is cured.

1. Drug therapy:

Taking medicine, getting injections, and applying plasters are all drug therapies. Drug therapies mainly have the effects of anti-inflammatory, detumescence, analgesic, and blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The main ones include: aspirin, indomethacin, ibuprofen, ibuprofen, fentadol, analgesic, and voltaren (antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory drugs), tramadol, fordine, pethidine, and tamoxifen (analgesics), dibazole compound danshen injection (vasodilator), prednisone, dexamethasone, (hormones), vitamins B1, B12, E, C, adenosine triphosphate, inosine (vitamins and nutritional drugs), central muscle relaxants, diuretics and dehydration drugs, etc. As far as the pathogenesis of lumbar disc herniation is concerned, drug therapy is not a cure. It can only relieve symptoms and temporarily reduce the patient's pain. The effect will be more obvious in the early or acute stage of the disease. However, all drugs have toxic side effects to varying degrees and are not suitable for long-term use. It can only play a supporting role.

2. Physical therapy:

Massage, acupuncture, electrotherapy, cupping, laser, ultrasound, paraffin therapy, etc., these therapies are also mainly based on anti-inflammatory and analgesic, blood circulation and blood stasis removal. They only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, and it is difficult to cure the disease.

3. Block therapy:

Injecting medication into the painful area and around the nerve roots is called blockade. It mainly plays the role of anti-inflammatory, analgesic and improving blood circulation.

4. Surgical treatment:

It is mainly used for those whose life, work and rest are seriously affected and for those who have not responded to non-surgical treatment. Surgery changes the original tissue structure of the human body and is a invasive treatment. The patients are in great pain. The surgery destroys human tissues and causes changes in their structure, which can easily increase the pathological changes of other tissues. For example, some patients may easily develop degeneration of other lumbar discs or varying degrees of bulging or protrusion some time after the surgery. They may also be prone to nerve adhesion or numbness and loss of sensation in the legs and feet, and are especially prone to bone hyperplasia or vertebral instability. Therefore, surgical treatment can only be used as a last resort. Lumbar disc herniation is to some extent a self-limiting or self-healing disease, and conservative treatment should be used as much as possible.

5. Traction therapy:

Traction is one of the most effective measures to treat lumbar spondylosis. Through the principle of mechanical action and reaction, traction is applied to the lumbar spine to widen the intervertebral space, thereby achieving: A. Reducing the pressure on the intervertebral disc, promoting the retraction of the intervertebral disc, and relieving the stimulation and compression on nerve roots and other tissues. B. Eliminate inflammation and promote blood circulation. C. Relieve muscle spasms and improve local blood circulation. However, the traditional traction method is performed in bed and can only be performed intermittently twice a day. Every time the patient gets out of bed to go home or exercise, the retracted nucleus pulposus will be compressed and protrude again under the pressure of the upper body gravity, causing all previous efforts to be wasted and repeated attacks.
