I accidentally flashed my waist and said something.

Whether it's a thin waist or a squat posture, if you exercise or work improperly, you may accidentally flash your waist.

Severe low back pain followed, and the taste was really bad!

"Flashing waist" is actually an acute lumbar sprain.

In fact, "flashing waist" is a folk saying, and some people call it "shocking waist", which belongs to acute lumbar sprain and is a common trauma in life. It is caused by different degrees of tearing and bleeding of muscles, fascia, sacroiliac joints and ligaments in the back.

The waist is one of the more flexible parts of our spine, and its mobility is second only to that of the neck. Can be used for flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation and other activities, but also bear a certain weight. Therefore, the lumbar soft tissue bears more tension and has more chances of injury.

When we are careless at ordinary times, we suddenly start to exercise with waist load (such as carrying heavy objects) or bend over and turn around, or our waist posture is improper during labor and exercise, and the waist load is too heavy, which often causes acute lumbar sprain.

In addition, some congenital deformities, such as facet joint asymmetry or sacral fissure, are more prone to lumbar sprain due to uncoordinated lumbar movement or weak lumbosacral ligaments and muscles.

How painful can "flash" be?

Usually, acute lumbar sprain will immediately lead to severe pain in the lower waist or lumbosacral region (some cases have no obvious pain at that time, but it is obvious after several hours or the next morning), which is persistent, knife-shaped or tearing, and can be aggravated after exercise, but can be alleviated after rest, but can not be completely eliminated.

Cough, talking loudly, abdominal exertion and turning over can all lead to aggravated pain.

At the same time, the pain and reflex spasm of the injured muscles often cause the waist to be stiff, the activity is limited, and the spine leans to the painful side. Patients can't even move their bodies, so they need more hands to support them, so as to avoid more severe pain caused by activities, which is very painful.

Is there any way to relieve the pain of "waist flash"

Once the waist flashes, correct and timely treatment can not only quickly relieve the pain and speed up recovery, but also avoid or reduce the occurrence of chronic lumbar muscle strain.

1. Proper rest is necessary.

You must choose to lie on a hard bed and rest. You can put a thin pillow under your waist to keep the physiological curvature of lumbar lordosis, so that the lumbar muscles are in a state of relaxation and rest, which is conducive to the rehabilitation of damaged parts.

Try to avoid behaviors that may aggravate pain. Serious cases need about two weeks' rest.

2. Pay attention to the order of cold compress and hot compress.

After acute lumbar sprain, apply cold compress within 1 ~ 2 days, and apply cold compress to the waist with towel to promote the contraction of ruptured small blood vessels to stop bleeding. Physical therapy such as hot compress can be performed after 3 ~ 4 days to promote hematoma absorption.

3. Go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

It is an appropriate way to go to the pain department of the hospital for diagnosis, rule out fractures and disc herniation, and accept local injection therapy or myofascial trigger point therapy.

It has a good effect on acute lumbar sprain, lumbar disc herniation, and lumbar muscle trigger point acupuncture. Usually 1 4 times is a course of treatment, and some patients are cured after 1 time. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as ibuprofen and celecoxib, can also be selected according to the situation, and narcotic analgesic drugs can also be selected when severe pain occurs.

Local physical therapy (such as ultrasound, infrared rays, pulse waves), manual massage, cupping, etc. can also relieve the symptoms of acute lumbar sprain, and can also be used in combination with dog skin ointment and tiger bone ointment.

It is worth mentioning that if the condition of "waist flashing" is serious, or there are symptoms such as pain and numbness in the calf or foot, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to rule out fractures and disc herniation. It is not appropriate to massage casually to avoid aggravating the injury.

To prevent waist flashing, you should understand the following five points.

1. Pay attention to back muscle exercise: always do "arch bridge" (supine, with head, shoulders and feet as fulcrums, chest and waist standing up) or "swallow" (prone, with chest and abdomen as fulcrums, head, shoulders and lower limbs raised).

2. Master the correct labor posture: when carrying and lifting heavy objects, try to make the chest and waist straight and the hips and knees bent. When you get up, take the lower limbs as the main strength, and then take a step after standing firm.

3. Strengthen labor protection: When doing heavy physical labor such as carrying, lifting, moving and lifting, you should use a belt to help stabilize the waist and spine, enhance abdominal pressure and enhance muscle work efficiency.

4. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest: try to avoid heavy physical labor with insufficient intensity and avoid working in a bent position for too long.
