The symptoms of osteoarthritis may be very typical when it is literally impossible to make a mistake, but may be similar to other diseases. They must be distinguished from symptoms of spinal cord tumors, coronary heart disease (CHD), diseases of the stomach, pancreas Diabetes and pancreas - the things you need to know   and liver.

Cervical osteochondrosis

What are the symptoms of degenerative disc disease are the most common? Of course, radicular. It is also the symptoms of exacerbation of degenerative disc disease. Radicular syndrome - a group of symptoms that appear when squeezing the spinal nerves. Depending on to which the spinal cord is pinched back, radicular develop different symptoms of degenerative disc disease. Also characteristic symptoms of tension in osteochondrosis - increased pain when active movements due to the tension of the nerve trunks.

With cervical osteochondrosis Cervical osteochondrosis - the lot of office workers   radicular syndrome is manifested by severe pain in the neck, in the cervical vertebrae in the interscapular region. Maybe join a headache and pain in the eye socket. When squeezing the nerve root of the third vertebra may occur pain in the ear and a violation of the sensitivity of the language. Pain in heart attacks and heart speak about infringement of the spine of the fourth vertebra. Violation of movement in the hand (it is difficult to raise my hand, something she do) - a sign of infringement of the spine of the fifth vertebra, severe pain in the neck, extending to the shoulder blade, arm and thumb - the sixth in the index and middle finger - the seventh, and the little finger - eighth.

Symptom relief is manifested in a sharp increase in pain not only in the pan and tilt of the head, but also when chewing and speaking.

Thoracic osteochondrosis

If the infringement of spinal nerve roots of the spine radicular syndrome manifests itself most often by the type of intercostal neuralgia with aching or sharp shooting pains along the intercostal spaces. Patients feel that the chest "squeezed hoop" breathing becomes shallow - because of the pain the patient is afraid of deep breathing, sneezing, coughing, avoid any movements. Provoking the emergence of such pain is most often a long stay in a fixed position forced.

Radicular syndrome may also manifest itself in the form of severe back pain. The symptoms of osteoarthritis of the back - aching, not too intense or sudden, sharp, limiting the mobility of the chest.

Infringement of vegetative fibers root causes that when breast osteochondrosis, pain in the heart Pain in the heart - always consult a doctor , Seizures, tachycardia, constantly changing blood pressure, stomach pain.

Lumbosacral osteochondrosis

Radicular syndrome in the lumbosacral osteochondrosis is most characteristic manifestations.

The attack of osteoarthritis - the main symptoms: violent pain (lumbago) burning, dagger character that appears in the spine and the patient does not straighten up, if it is in a bent position. Very strong pain may last from a few minutes to several hours, extends deep into the tissue, it causes an increase in skin sensitivity or numbness in the lumbar region. The cause of lumbago is most often awkward movement.

Aching pain intensity at most colds occur, they usually last from several days to several weeks or even months. Such pains are usually one-sided, and give to the sacrum and leg.

Sometimes patients ask how symptoms of osteoarthritis of the coccyx? The fact that osteoarthritis of the coccyx does not happen, because the tailbone - a small fused bones in which there is no intervertebral discs. But the pain in the coccyx in osteochondrosis of the lumbosacral spine may be - a condition called coccygodynia. Coccygodynia can wear very stubborn, greatly reducing the quality of life of the patient.

Symptoms of advanced osteoarthritis

Widespread called osteochondrosis, arising from degenerative changes in several parts of the spine, and sometimes in all its departments. Depending on the degree of involvement in the disease process of a division, and manifest the main symptoms.

Common osteochondrosis Osteochondrosis - learn how to properly distribute the weight   runs hard, often leads to the patient's disability, and even complete immobility.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis should be promptly identified and treated, the only way to stop the progression of the disease. The main treatment for degenerative disc disease is a therapeutic exercise.

Sirdalud - a drug that helps to relieve spasms of skeletal muscles. These cramps are always accompanied by diseases of the spine and large joints, sometimes they themselves are always painful and increase the pain caused by the underlying disease.

Features sirdalud action on the body

Sirdalud is a centrally acting muscle relaxant, meaning it relaxes the skeletal muscles. The mechanism of action sirdalud associated with decreased release of nerve cells (neurons) neurotransmitter amino acids (e.g., glutamic acid), which stimulate the transmission of nerve excitation in the synapses of the central nervous system, in particular in the synapses located in the spinal cord. Synapse called the place of transition from one nerve cell to another, which is transmitted through the nervous excitement with special chemicals called neurotransmitters. Pulses of nervous excitement not reach the skeletal muscles and the muscles relax. Sirdalud has also some analgesic activity which is enhanced by the combined treatment with analgesics.

Sirdalud is rapidly and almost completely absorbed when administered in the intestine and enters the bloodstream. Maximum concentration in blood reached after 1 - 2 hours, it acts on average for 6 hours. Sirdalud decomposed in the liver into inactive components and then output mainly in the urine.

Suitable sirdalud as acute sudden spasm of skeletal muscles, and at long spastic conditions caused by chronic neurological diseases. At this dose the patient his physician individually selected and can be gradually increased significantly compared to the conventional therapeutic dose. It should be borne in mind that high doses of the drug increases the risk of side effects.

Which diseases appoint sirdalud

Sirdalud is assigned at any diseases of the spine and joints, which are accompanied by a spasm of skeletal muscles. This spasm is a reflex - so the body protects the painful area of ​​the injury. But the spasm of pain increases and promotes the formation of abnormal movements or severely restricts the movement. After removing the painful spasms of skeletal muscles the patient's condition improved significantly. Especially effective centrally acting muscle relaxants in the complex treatment of neurological patients.

Apply sirdalud with sudden acute lumbago, when there is compression of the spinal nerves. In this case, the removal of muscle spasm contributes to the partial withdrawal of infringement and reduce pain. Good help sirdalud at the cervical and lumbar syndrome.

In chronic neurological diseases that are accompanied by prolonged muscle spasms, such as multiple sclerosis Multiple sclerosis - whether in remission? , Cerebral palsy, sirdalud also able to improve the state of partially removing the muscle spasm. This reduces pain and allows the patient to produce some of passive and active motion.

Protective muscle spasm usually occurs after operations on the spine and large joints (eg, hip). In this case, the removal of muscle spasms in the background sirdalud promotes more rapid recovery of body functions after surgery.

This is contraindicated sirdalud

Sirdalud not indicated for children, as there is no experience of using this drug in children. You can not assign sirdalud women who breastfeed, as some of it is excreted in milk and may have a negative effect on the child's body. Not applicable sirdalud with severe liver disease in violation of their function - in this case, the drug can not completely degraded in the liver. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity of the components and sirdalud.

Not worth the risk and apply sirdalud with severe kidney disease in violation of their function - in this case, the drug appears very slowly and may come his overdose. If necessary, sirdalud given to patients with kidney disease in specially selected doses.

When pregnancy sirdalud prescribed only when absolutely necessary, as clinical trials in pregnant women were not conducted. But in animal studies adverse effects on the fetus have been identified.

Negative side effects sirdalud

Sirdalud can produce negative side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, Dizziness - if the ground is slipping from under his feet , Hallucinations, lethargy, weakness, sleep disturbances Dreams: how to understand our dreams   and concentration, abnormal liver function, lower blood pressure Blood pressure - dangerous if his swing? .
