Sciatic pain or "lumbago"
Particularly painful is the sciatic syndrome (sciatica): It can be seen that there are sudden, very severe [url=http://pt-mike.com/the-lowdown-on-lower-back-pain-causes/]upper back pain left side[/url] that pull unilaterally down to the leg. The starting point is the area of ​​the lumbar spine (LWS), because it is acutely blocked. Also numbness and tingling in the toes are described.
Reason for this is a root irritation of the sciatic nerve (sciatic nerve), commonly referred to as a trapped sciatic nerve or a "lumbago", in the technical language of lumbago (lumbar syndrome or lumbago). A disease is not such irritation of the nerve, even if it expresses itself very painfully; It usually disappears after a few days. However, if it hurts for more than a week in the cross, or if you are unable to cope with your daily routine, for example as a result of paralysis symptoms, then you should go to the doctor.

Sometimes they are confused and sometimes they are also related: the herniated disc and the lumbago. But while a trapped sciatic nerve usually gets better without major therapy, this will not happen with a herniated disc. In any case, a treatment is needed here , in many cases even an operation.
However, a herniated disc can be indicated by a "sciatic pain", ie the radiating pain down to the thigh. In general, however, it depends on where the Diskusprolabs (Latin) occurs along the spine, so the pain is quite different. Most commonly, the lumbar spine is affected, which is why the confusion with the sciatic nerve syndrome is possible. This is called a lumbar disc herniation.
A herniated disc occurs when nerves are squeezed in the back due to overload or extreme stress because the disc slips between the vertebrae. An extremely violent, usually stinging, persistent pain is the result - depending on whether the nerves or nerve roots are involved -, it can lead to paralysis and sensibility disorders.
Low back pain is familiar to most of the adult people. Reasons for this are often incorrect or overstressing of the lumbar area, sometimes also diseases such as vertebral arthrosis. To effectively fight back pain, you need to know what the cause is.
But what almost always helps you: targeted exercises to strengthen the back, for example, with the Thera-Band, the relaxation of overstrained muscles using massages and a back-friendly posture, among other things by special seat cushions. If the pain persists for a long time and is penetrating, go to the doctor to avoid undetecting a possible herniated disc.
