In full move, you raise a heavier cardboard than foreseen and all to-stroke, an electric discharge paralyzes you the leg. You have just been hit by a sciatica. Discover the essential on this "tour of kidney." Of the symptoms while passing by the reasons and the hold in charge, discover the essential on the sciatica. An infernal painThe pain seems to leave from the buttock, reach the thigh then, the leg and finally the foot. Finally, a stiffness of the column can stop the victim from bending forward. Sometimes, the suffering doesn't pass the knee and the factor triggering the crisis is not always identifiable. The pain is increased by the efforts, the cough or the sneeze. The pressures and strengths of bending culminate in the low of the backbone. Such are the symptoms of the sciatica or lombosciatique. Thus, the nerves the more often touched are those of the fifth lumbar root and the first sacred root. They form the nerve sciatica that descends along the leg until the foot. It is this attack of the nerve sciatica that is at the origin of these infernal pains. This pain follows a very determined journey depending on whether it is the fifth lumbar root or the first sacred root that are irritated: - Lombosciatique L5: the lumbar pain continues on the external face of the thigh and the leg, cross the back of the foot and win the big toe;
- Lombosciatique S1: the lumbar pain continues on the buttock, the posterior face of the thigh and the leg, and passer-by by the sole of the foot, reached the small toe.
Thus, the sciatica can entail several symptoms: cramps, pains or behind the thigh, irradiations to the foot, unrest of the sensitivity or the m uscular strength. Of the signs that the patient must know with precision to give the description of it to the physician. The most frequent reasonsTo the origin of the sciaticas, one finds several reasons: - At a young person, a hernia discale is the main reason. It is about a change of the lumbar disk enters two vertebras. This rupture of cartilage is going to drag the compression of the nervous roots.
- Among the subjects of more than 50 years, the sciatica can be due to a narrow lumbar channel, that results from a confinement of the nerve endings in a too small space.
More rarely, the reasons can result of: - A spondylolisthésis that is a slip of a vertebra in relation to the situated rightly below vertebra;
- A tumorous or infectious origin.
A recovery the most often spontaneousEight to 9 times on 10, the sciatica heals spontaneously in 6 to 8 weeks. Thus, it is only when the treatment medical rhumatologique proves to be insufficient (anti-pains, anti-inflammatory, infiltrations.), that an operation can be considered. Only some symptoms must drive to consult without delay: urinary unrests or beginning of paralysis of the foot for example. Outside of the these treatments, one finds the lumbar belt. it permits to decrease the pressure on the sick disk and avoid the micro-movements of the rachis that make enlarge the hernia and increase the compression of the root. The infiltrations serve to instiller a very weak quantity of cortisone to the contact of the root irritated by the hernia discale. The recidivisms are uncertain. Two vertebral disks and four lumbar nervous roots can, on one whole life, to provoke a sciatica. However, the quality of recovery of the first sciatica associated to the prevention decreases the risk. Finally, a strict rest is guided by the intensity of the pain. However, a too prolonged systematic rest is considered notably like ominous because of the laxity of the abdominal strap 2009-04-27
