Pain after a stroke is a fairly common situation. About 10% of stroke patients suffer from pain in various parts of the body. The intensity of pain after a stroke ranges from moderate, causing some discomfort, to such severe pain that it can even interfere with the body’s recovery.
Depending on where the pain that occurs after a stroke is located, its symptoms vary. If pain after a stroke is observed on one side of the body, most often on the extremities (pain in the arm after a stroke, pain in the leg after a stroke) - this is one of the typical symptoms that a part of the brain such as the thalamus was affected by the stroke. This type of pain after a stroke is classified as central. Patients give it different characteristics: burning, boring pain, shooting. Thalamic pain can also vary in intensity; stroke patients often have to take medications to calm the pain.
However, central post-stroke pain occurs not only when the thalamus is affected: as practice shows, it also appears in situations where extrathalamic structures are affected. Many scientists agree that this type of pain is caused by post-stroke dysfunction in almost any part of the human brain. Most often this happens when the visual thalamus and caudal parts of the brain, as well as the parietal cortex, “suffer”. And not every time the visual thalamus is damaged, pain is observed.
Pain after a stroke can be aggravated by various factors: movements, heat or cold, emotions. However, for some stroke patients, the same moments can, on the contrary, ease the pain after a stroke, especially with regard to heat. There are other neurological symptoms in which central post-stroke pain occurs: with hyperesthesia, dysesthesia, a feeling of numbness, changes in the sensation of heat, cold, touch, vibration. A special perception of temperature, tactile sensations, and vibrations is a characteristic “bell” when diagnosing central neuropathic pain after a stroke. Studies provide the following results: more than 70% of patients complaining of central post-stroke pain do not feel a difference when the temperature ranges from 0 to 50 °C. Also with neuropathic pain, allodynia is observed - unnatural painful sensitivity of the skin. It is observed in 71% of stroke patients.
Pain after a stroke can occur when any muscle group is immobilized. This pain occurs as a result of peripheral lesions.
A typical situation is shoulder pain after a stroke. It can appear when the brachial plexus is damaged, the muscles of the shoulder girdle are tense, and subluxation is observed in the shoulder joint. As for the latter, it occurs in the early post-stroke periods before the actual muscle pain after a stroke. Its cause is weakened muscles, their low tone, due to which the articular capsule gradually overstretches under the weight of the arm and subsequently leads to incorrect position of the head of the humerus.
Muscle pain after a stroke - muscle spasms - occurs in stroke patients in the first time (a month or two) after a stroke and associated cerebrovascular accident. These pains occur due to progressive muscle spasticity.
Representatives of the fairer sex are more likely than men to experience groin pain. This is explained by the fact that the organs of the reproductive system are located nearby. This article will tell you why women experience pain in the right groin. You will be able to find out the main causes of this condition. It is also worth saying how this disease is treated.
Before mentioning the main causes of this condition, it is worth saying that it is not an independent disease. Pain in the groin on the right in women always indicates some kind of process. It can be pathological or functional. It is almost impossible to make a diagnosis on your own. However, a woman can fully appreciate the nature and intensity of the unpleasant sensations. They can be piercing, cutting, pulling or sharp. Pain in the groin on the right side of a woman can radiate to the abdominal cavity, leg or lumbar region.
Treatment should be carried out only after consultation with a doctor. In some cases, no correction is required at all. It is worth noting that you cannot take painkillers on your own. This may somewhat dull the main symptom and give an incorrect clinical picture. If a problem arises, especially when the discomfort increases, you should contact a doctor for help. Let's look at the main causes of pain in the right groin in women and find out methods of treating them.
Pain in the right groin in women often occurs during ovulation. In this case, the process occurs precisely in the ovary, located on the corresponding side. This symptom occurs approximately in the middle of the menstrual cycle. However, in some cases there may be early or late ovulation.
In the first phase of the cycle, the follicle grows and fills in volume. Having reached its peak, the formation ruptures and the female gamete emerges from it. All this is accompanied by an increase and stretching of the ovarian walls. This process can cause pain in the groin on the right side of a woman. Most often it has a pulling or aching character. It is present for several hours or days. After ovulation, everything goes away abruptly. The woman notes that there is no more pain. There is no treatment in these cases. Only sometimes can a doctor advise a patient to take antispasmodics. These include the drugs “Baralgin”, “Nurofen”, “Paracetamol” and many others.
Pain in the groin area (right) in women may be due to the fact that the next menstruation will begin soon. Also, the sensations persist in the first days of bleeding. Doctors call this condition algodismenorrhea. The intensity of the unpleasant sensations may vary. Some women simply complain of minor discomfort. Other representatives of the fairer sex are forced to lie in bed and take painkillers.
Treatment of this phenomenon consists of first finding the cause of the pain syndrome. It is often a feature of the female body and only goes away after the birth of the first child. Doctors recommend taking medications to relieve spasms if necessary. These include “No-shpa”, “Papaverine”, “Drotaverine” and so on. Progesterone correction is also often prescribed, including the medications Utrozhestan and Duphaston.
Aching pain in the groin on the right side in women may occur due to abnormal bowel movements. In this case, the patient notes an increase in the urge to defecate or, conversely, their absence. Often this pathology is accompanied by additional manifestations: nausea, vomiting, flatulence, belching, lack of appetite or fever.
Treatment in this case is most often symptomatic. So, for constipation, the drugs Duphalac, Gutasil, Fitomucil, Senade and others are prescribed. If a woman complains of diarrhea, then doctors recommend taking Imodium, Levomycetin and maintaining an appropriate diet. In addition to symptomatic treatment, a course of beneficial bacteria is often prescribed. They help improve digestion and prevent problems such as bowel movements. Similar drugs include “Linex”, “Baktisubtil”, “Acipol” and others.
A nagging pain in the groin on the right in women can be caused by the formation of adhesions. They often appear after surgery, with untimely treatment of inflammation and endometriosis. In this case, neighboring organs stick together, and thin films are formed between them. All this leads to displacement of intestinal loops, ovaries and fallopian tubes. Because of this formation, a woman experiences severe discomfort and pain.
Adhesions in a woman’s pelvis can be cured in two ways: surgical and medicinal. In this case, the choice depends solely on the severity of the pathology and the cause of its occurrence. In case of surgery, laparoscopy is preferred. In conservative therapy, medications such as Longidaza and Lidaza are chosen. They are complemented by physiotherapy.
A cutting sharp pain in the groin on the right in women can appear due to pathology of the urinary system. Often, it is the right ureter that suffers. The thing is that this is how the excretory system works. The right kidney in humans is located slightly lower than the left. If bacteria and pathological microorganisms are present in the bladder, then cystitis begins over time. The disease manifests itself as cutting pain when urinating and discomfort in the right side of the groin.
Treatment in this case should always include antibacterial therapy. However, before prescribing any medications, it is worth conducting a sensitivity test of microorganisms. The most frequently chosen drugs are Amoxicillin, Summamed, Flemoxin, Vilprafen, and so on. At the same time, the patient is prescribed diuretics, for example, Furosemide, Veroshpiron and others.
Severe pain in the groin on the right in women occurs if an ectopic pregnancy occurs. In this case, the fertilized egg is often implanted on the side where ovulation occurred. Right-sided ectopic pregnancy is also characterized by spotting bloody discharge from the genital tract, a small increase in human chorionic gonadotropin, and the absence of a fertilized egg in the uterine cavity during an ultrasound examination. It can arise for many reasons. These include adhesions, inflammation, pipe obstruction, and so on.
Treatment in this case can only be surgical. The patient should be hospitalized as soon as possible and undergo laparoscopic surgery. In some cases, laparotomy may be necessary. The manipulation is carried out under general anesthesia. The shorter the pregnancy, the more likely it is that a woman will preserve her fallopian tube.
A woman may experience nagging pain on the right side due to the appearance of a tumor on the ovary. In most cases, such cysts are benign. There are functional and non-functional growths. The first type does not require any intervention and most often goes away on its own. Nonfunctional cysts can sometimes be amenable to hormonal correction, but most require surgical intervention.
If the pathology is malignant, then, undoubtedly, an operation is performed to remove the cyst. Sometimes amputation of the entire ovary is required. After this, the woman is given a course of radiation and chemotherapy.
A pulling or cutting pain in the groin area on the right may be a sign of inflammation. In this case, the pathological process can affect the ovary, fallopian tube and uterus. Doctors call such conditions by the following terms: adnexitis, metritis, salpingitis and endometritis.
Treatment in such cases should be started as early as possible. Otherwise, the woman may face serious complications. Most often, correction involves the use of immunomodulatory drugs. These include “Likopid”, “Interferon”, “Isoprinosine” and others. In addition, antimicrobial therapy is prescribed (Terzhinan, Naxogin, Metronidazole). After treatment, measures must be taken to restore the vaginal microflora.
Often pain in the right groin occurs due to the formation of a hernia. It occurs as a result of weakening of the pelvic muscles. The consequence of this is the prolapse of the intestinal loop into the resulting fistula.
A hernia should always be treated. Otherwise, the intestinal loop becomes compressed and the blood stagnates in it. All this leads to serious complications. Most often, the pathology is corrected surgically. This is by far the most effective method. Many chiropractors offer their services for hernia repair. However, such treatment is not always successful.
You now know the main causes of pain in the right side of the groin in a woman. Remember that if a symptom occurs, you should contact a specialist as soon as possible. You may need urgent treatment. Don't self-diagnose. Your diagnosis may be wrong. The consequence of this will be incorrectly selected correction and complications. Use the services of doctors, get treated correctly and be healthy!
In the human body, the hip joint (HJ) is the most powerful, since it takes on the largest and most prolonged load. Its task is not only to withstand the weight of most of the human body, but also to provide movement and maintain balance. That is why even minor problems with it can cause a lot of problems and seriously complicate your life. If a person begins to experience any serious pain in the hip joint, treatment should begin immediately. But first, it’s worth understanding what risks it is exposed to, and, accordingly, what nature the resulting pain may be.
First, a few words about the structure of the joint. It is formed by the head of the femur and the socket of the pelvis. The head of the bone is covered with cartilage tissue, which provides soft gliding. The articular cavity is deep, so that it also includes most of the femoral neck.
The most obvious type of damage is, of course, traumatic damage. Each of us has heard the phrase “femoral neck fracture.” This type of fracture is most common in the hip joint, since the neck is the narrowest part of the femur. Such an injury is extremely dangerous, especially for older people - they are at greatest risk of getting it, since osteoporosis often develops with age, in which bones lose strength and density.
Less obvious reasons why the hip joint hurts are non-traumatic lesions. They can be associated with many factors and indicate the development of various diseases: arthritis, osteoarthritis, infectious arthritis, tendon inflammation, etc. As diseases develop over time, complications begin due to degenerative changes in the articular surfaces. In most cases, this is expressed in cartilage damage, damage to periarticular structures, and a decrease in the amount of joint fluid.
TBS is the strongest and most powerful in our body. Violations in its work lead to serious consequences
If there are no obvious external causes of pain in the hip joint, but, nevertheless, there is constant discomfort and the trend does not change, then there is a high probability of a developed disease. Let's try to list the most common pathologies and by what signs they can be identified. Of course, only a doctor can carry out a qualified diagnosis, but the symptoms of the disease will help you navigate and make it clear what you need to be prepared for. Treatment is individual in each specific case; you will learn more about therapy in the relevant articles on our website (links below).
This is a typical and very common problem among older people. In old age, the whole “set” of degenerative, dystrophic and inflammatory processes in the joints is often observed, and the hip suffers almost first of all. In such cases, the leg hurts, painful sensations are observed in the groin area, which radiate to the front or side of the thigh and can reach the knee. When leaning on the leg while walking, the symptoms intensify. A sharp pain “shoots” when the patient tries to get up from a sitting position.
Deforming arthrosis is a very common pathology, affecting mainly middle-aged people. It can develop unnoticed, but the first signs appear in the very early stages of the disease. You may begin to experience pain in the left hip joint, or the right hip joint, or both at once. Pain sensations develop gradually as the stages of the disease progress (there are only three of them). Serious discomfort begins already in the second stage. Then the patient complains of pain when standing up, turning the body, starting to move - which radiates to the knee and groin area. The muscles in the affected area are in constant tension even during sleep: this is why pain in the hip joint is often observed at night.
The trochanteric fluid bursa is located above the prominence of the femur. When it becomes inflamed (i.e., bursitis), pain occurs in the outer part of the buttocks. If you lie on the affected side, the pain intensifies. Inflammation of other fluid bursae of the hip joint (iliopectineal and sciatic) also occurs, but the trochanteric bursa suffers most often.
This disease affects people whose activities involve constant intense physical activity, especially athletes. With tendonitis, the hip joint hurts greatly during active movements and heavy load on it. With a light load, pain may not be observed at all.
We talked about the treatment of bursitis and tendinitis here.
Infectious arthritis can be caused by influenza viruses, staphylococcus, streptococcus and others. In such cases, the disease develops rapidly. Fever begins, and swelling is observed in the area of the affected joint. Acute pain in the hip joint is observed when moving or even touching the affected area.
Slightly different symptoms are observed with tuberculous arthritis, which most often affects the hip joint. In this case, the disease makes itself felt gradually. At first, a person begins to experience mild pain when walking, radiating to the middle part of the thigh or knee. As the disease progresses, the hip is limited in movement in all directions, and the affected area swells.
Hip diseases can also be hereditary. In this case we are talking about Legg Calve Perthes disease. It mainly affects boys at an early age. This pathology is unilateral in nature, that is, there is pain in the right or left hip joint. Often the disease can begin to make itself felt with pain not in the hip joint, but in the knee.
Aching pain may not be directly related to the disease of the joint. The cause may be various types of neoplasms in muscle and bone tissue. Depending on the nature of the tumor (benign or malignant) and its location, the nature of the pain can also be ambiguous.
To summarize, we consider it necessary to once again warn about the dangers of self-medication. It is often unclear what to do with painful attacks, how to treat them, but the thought of going to the doctor comes last. Based on the nature of the pain, you can only roughly orient yourself and begin to prepare (including psychologically) for qualified diagnosis and treatment.
At the top of the comments feed are the last 25 question-answer blocks. I answer only those questions where I can give practical advice in absentia - this is often impossible without personal consultation.
For several years now I have had mild pain in both my left hip joint and my right. Both don't hurt at the same time.
Painful sensations initially occurred only in a lying position. But the right joint has recently begun to hurt a lot, aching during
going down the stairs. On each step, as I carry it, my legs sway, and when I lean on my leg, they let go.
A year ago I went to the doctor, they did an x-ray, and found nothing. Everything is okay. Same with blood. I do not know what to do?
Hello, Sergey. The best information test is an MRI, get one. It won't hurt in an empty place. The development of gonarthrosis is possible.
Hello, I’m 14 years old, I fell hard on the floor while playing volleyball, now I’m limping and my hip joint hurts, it hurts to sit, I also play football, what should I do?
Hello Alex. The first thing you need to do is go to the clinic and see a traumatologist. The doctor will examine you and may order an x-ray. Only then will it be clear how to treat and what to treat. Don't delay.
Hello, I am 44 years old and recently I began to experience pain in the area of the left hip joint on the front side of the groin. The pain is dull and not severe, and only when I put my weight on this leg, there is no pain in any lying position. Standing on the other leg, the patient can make any movements freely, but as soon as I transfer my weight to it, the pain immediately begins, I walk with a visible limp. The pain has been going on for more than 2 weeks and is gradually getting worse.
Hello Svetlana. Whatever pain appears, this indicates the development of the disease. Without examination and x-rays, it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe adequate treatment. See an orthopedic surgeon for a clinical examination.
Good afternoon While lying down, aching pain appeared in both hip joints. When I lie on my back, the pain goes away, but discomfort appears in the lower back. I am 40 years old. What can you recommend?
Hello Tatiana. Without examination and x-rays, it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe adequate treatment. See an orthopedic surgeon for a clinical examination. Osteochondrosis is possible.
Hello. My hip joint on my right leg hurts only when I turn my leg to the side, that is, if I swing to the side, it hurts a lot; otherwise, when walking or crossing my legs, there is no pain. I didn’t notice it before, but it’s been hurting for the last 2 months. What could it be? This? .Thank you
Hello Irina. I am writing to you the same thing as to others. Well, you can’t make a diagnosis without examination and x-rays. The same pain can occur in a variety of diseases. Therefore, do not delay, no one will prescribe treatment for you via the Internet, and go for an examination with an orthopedist.
Hello. Two months ago, during an exacerbation of a lumbar hernia, I gave myself an injection of diclofenac. Apparently, it was unsuccessful, a lump and hematoma appeared, pain appeared along the sciatic nerve, and the next day the thigh became numb. Gradually all the symptoms went away, but pain remained in the hip in the area of the greater trochanter. MRI of the TS did not reveal any inflammatory processes; the diagnosis was “signs of initial manifestations of bilateral coxarthrosis.” Only one leg hurts, the pain is dull, it intensifies with pressure, it feels like a bruise, lying on my side is uncomfortable. The skin in this area has changed in color and has become slightly mottled, but it is not noticeable. There is no swelling. The temperature in the joint area is not increased. I apply troxevasin and traumeel. Tell me, could this be a consequence of an unsuccessful injection and which specialist should I contact for treatment? Or it will go away on its own (as the doctor who interpreted the MRI said).
Hello Maria. It should go away on its own, but apply ointments until you quit. But the initial manifestations of coxarthrosis need to be treated immediately. This disease cannot be completely cured, but it can be slowed down. To do this, you need to contact an orthopedist and ask for a comprehensive treatment, which must include chondroprotective drugs.
Hello, I wanted to ask, my right leg has been hurting for 3 months now, that’s where the piriformis muscle is, that’s where they give the injection, there’s a vein or something in some sciatic vein, when I touch it, grt grt some sounds, maybe it’s a cold on the nerve? I have one there. Hurts
Hello, Ereke. Without an examination, I can only advise you to visit a neurologist.
Hello. I’m 42 years old, three days ago, while running (I urgently needed to bring my husband a key), my right leg gave out and I fell. Today the same thing happened. Afterwards, I had pain in my hip, but it goes away quickly. I want to ask, what’s wrong with me? Please help.
Hello, Victoria. This may be a sudden disruption of blood circulation in the lower extremities or a malfunction of the motor nerve fibers. Diseases such as diabetic polyneuropathy, obliterating endarteritis, spinal diseases, strokes/micro-strokes also lead to similar symptoms. If the whole point is a disease of the spine, for example, then the whole point is that it is the nerve fibers coming from the spinal cord that are responsible for the movements of the legs, emptying the bladder and rectum. If one of the nerve trunks is damaged, paralysis and other disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system may develop. As you can see, there are many reasons for sudden numbness in the legs. Try drinking 1 tablet. Trental 100 mg 2 times a day and Escusan drops 12 drops 3 times a day until you see a doctor and receive a treatment prescription. You also need to massage your back and legs. Contact your therapist first. He will prescribe the necessary tests, then refer you to a specialist if you suspect a particular diagnosis. More likely. You need a neurologist.
Hello. Yesterday before going to bed, I felt pain on the right thigh, radiating to my leg. I slept fine at night. In the morning, the same thing, closer to lunch, the pain went just above the tailbone, I feel cold in this place and aching pain. What could it be, or just a blow? .
Hello, Natasha. Pain in the hip is dangerous, as it can be the first signal of extremely serious diseases of the spine or hip joint. In this case, pain sensations can be different. You may feel a slight tingling sensation or severe nagging pain. It all depends on the type of disease. The cause of pain is diseases such as osteochondrosis and various other problems with the spine, coxarthrosis, arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, the presence of inflammation and tumors. An examination is required. Contact an orthopedist and neurologist, get an x-ray and blood tests.
Good afternoon. I am 29 years old, 5 months pregnant. Yesterday I went for a walk during the day - everything was fine, in the evening I fell asleep with the window open and open, perhaps I was blown away, this is an option. At night I couldn’t sleep because my right hip was hurting so much and it suddenly became painful to walk. The pain comes from within. I don’t understand whether it was true that my hip could have caught a cold when the window was open, or whether it could somehow be connected with my position. What can be done in my case? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Hello, Victoria. It could get windy, especially if you were a little sweaty. You can carefully massage the thigh muscles, apply cabbage leaves, or honey.
Hello, I would like to get advice from you. I play soccer. Periodically there is pain in the hip joint (it hurts a little to walk, it hurts to do some exercises). Previously, the pain somehow went away on its own, sometimes it just worked out and everything became normal, but I am very worried about the fact that this happens. Can you suggest anything about this?
Hello, Vladimir. Pain in football players is a common occurrence. The reason is heavy loads, constant tension. Without x-rays and examination, it is impossible to judge for sure whether a disease has developed or whether it is an overload factor. But pain will not appear out of nowhere. If you want to completely get rid of this, in any case you need to take an x-ray to check and undergo an examination by an orthopedist and receive comprehensive treatment. But for now the legs need to be given a complete break, at most this is a little physical education. Most often, football players suffer from ligaments and menisci.
Good day! I'm 30 years old, I move a lot. I began to notice that after a long walk the right hip joint began to ache when moving, after a long period of rest, the sensations disappeared and were repeated if I walked for a long time again. For example, I’m lying down after a long walk, I lift my leg, there is a painful sensation, but if I help with another, there is no pain at all. When riding a bicycle, no sensations arise, regardless of the intensity and style of riding. Unfortunately, due to circumstances, there is no opportunity to turn to specialists. Maybe you can tell me something, thanks in advance!
Hello, Ivan. Often such symptoms are accompanied by the development of coxarthrosis. And in your case, the cause may be prolonged stress while walking. All joints have their own margin of safety. Over time, due to overload, diseases may appear. Also, the reasons may lie in disruption of the functioning of internal organs, pathology of the spine, etc. Without knowing the exact diagnosis, it is impossible to give advice. It can be advised to greatly limit walking, get a massage (it’s better to have it done by a specialist), apply ointments, alternating, for example, Diclofenac with Voltaren.
Hello, I’ve been working out in the gym for 18 years, half a year ago I started having pain in the pelvic area on the right, at first it only hurt in the evening when I came home, and I didn’t move much during the day and it didn’t hurt. In the evening it is difficult to sit down and stand up, the first steps are difficult, at first there was no pain in my right leg, now it does, sometimes I feel pain when I sit. It doesn’t hurt when I move, It hurts when I still walk where my feet are cold, The pain is acute
Hello, Pasha. There are hundreds of reasons for such pain. Also, you may be giving yourself too much stress. If the pain and discomfort are constant, you need to take an x-ray. Contact an orthopedist, therapist or traumatologist.
Hello. I wrote to you yesterday. Oddly enough, today I feel much lighter and almost move as always. If this continues, then tomorrow I will completely forget that this happened to me. How should we perceive this? What was it? Could the weather have had a bearing? Since before that night it was very warm and the sun was shining, but in the evening and at night it changed a lot with wind and snow with rain, down to sub-zero temperatures.
Leonid, some people are really affected negatively by sudden weather changes and all their joints can ache/ache. However, this is not considered the norm. We need an examination.
Hello! I am 36. In the evening, discomfort appeared in the hip joint on the right side. I didn’t give it away at first because I’m actively interested in sports, particularly hockey. But all night I suffered with pain like a toothache. By morning the pain subsided, but when walking there was a very noticeable pain in the hip joint. Just recently I received a strong blow to the thigh, which dried out my leg for a couple of days. Could this have something to do with it?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Hello, Leonid. Everything is interconnected, so get an X-ray, or better yet an MRI, undergo a consultation and examination by a traumatologist or surgeon. This condition will not go away on its own; research is needed.
Hello, question, I have been running for 1.5 years, but for the last 4 months pain has appeared somewhere in the upper part of the sartorius muscle and appears only in the morning, getting out of bed, or throughout the day if the leg has been in a straight, horizontal position. But then, when I get up, my leg seems to move around and the pain goes away. Having given up running, the problem did not completely go away; ointments such as beep-relief and diclofenac do not provide any healing properties. So is it about TBS? And which doctor should I contact?
Hello, Denis. Apparently the problem arose while you were jogging and it remains. You can’t determine which one, what’s the matter, via the Internet. You need to be examined by an orthopedist or traumatologist.
Hello! I’m 21. After looking after my nephew (little) for a week and picking him up, my back pinched and it was painful to step on my left leg. Now six months have passed. It hurts to walk, lift my legs, move them, it hurts to walk more than 20 meters - my leg starts to hurt in the hip joint. I took 2 courses of anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as muscle relaxants, but nothing worked. They did a CT scan and a dynamic MRI - after six months, according to the pictures, the joint even became better, but it still hurts. The pictures show that there are 2 small holes in the joint up to 7 mm, but the doctors said that this should not be the cause of pain. What would you recommend?
Victoria, find a good experienced massage therapist. Let him massage his back and leg muscles.
Hello. The upper part of the pelvis hurts on the right side, it feels like a cold, aching pain. When I press with my hand it seems to go away for a while. The pain is mainly felt in a sitting position and lying down. Whatever it could be. The pain appeared suddenly and appears more often in the upper parts of the pelvis and a feeling of cold.
Hello Anton. Among the many possible reasons for such a change in well-being, the main thing can be highlighted: a decrease in sensitivity due to impaired blood circulation and nerve conduction. But the basis for it can be a variety of diseases, such as: the formation of bone growths at the edges of the vertebral bodies, peripheral nephropathy, degenerative disorders in articular cartilage (osteochondrosis, spondylosis), etc. The cause of the feeling of cold in the back with osteochondrosis can be called irritation nerve endings in the spinal column due to deterioration of the intervertebral cartilage. Reduced sensitivity in spondylosis occurs as a result of compression of the nerves. With vascular pathology, the supply of nutrients to the spinal column is disrupted, and the sensitivity of the back is reduced. Peripheral neuropathy disrupts the conduction of nerve impulses along the spinal cord, hence the feeling of cold.
However, nervous overexertion, prolonged sitting (blood circulation is impaired), and excessive physical activity are often causes of unpleasant sensations. As you can see, Anton, there are a lot of reasons and not all are listed. You need to consult a neurologist and orthopedist; you may have to take an x-ray of the spinal column.
Hello. My left hip joint has been hurting for about 3 months now. The pain occurs after sitting, I cannot straighten up. I went to a traumatologist and they sent me to a surgeon. The surgeon sends me to a neurologist. There is a hernia in the lumbar region. And I haven’t been able to cure a heel spur for three months now. When I took medicine for the spur, the hip subsided. After treatment, both the heel and hip hurt again. Who should I go to, see a neurologist or surgeon again?
Hello Maria. For pain in the hip joint, you need to take a combination of the following drugs: chondoprotectors, mineral and vitamin complexes (Theraflu, Structum, etc.), muscle relaxants that reduce spasms that appear during pain, NSAIDs: (Diclofenac, Idomethacin, etc.), means to improve microcirculation. They relieve swelling and hypoxic manifestations in the affected area. Diuretics are also often necessary (to reduce swelling in the inflamed area, if such a factor is present).
Physiotherapeutic measures also play a huge role in the treatment of hip joint diseases. They are carried out after the removal of acute inflammation and severe pain.
Electrophoresis has proven itself well, with the help of which it is possible to create a high concentration of drugs directly in the affected area.
Medical bile is quite effective for heel spurs. Medical bile for heel spurs relieves burning pain and promotes resorption of the thorn.
If you have pain in the hip joint, you need to see a neurologist.
After a long walk, aching pain occurs in the right thigh, radiating to the groin and spreading along the lateral side of the thigh. My leg is going numb. The pain subsides after a night's rest. Six months ago, an x-ray showed DOA of the right hip joint. The new doctor describes the new X-ray image differently: no convincing signs of coxarthrosis were identified, suspicion of exostoses of the body of the iliac bone and the subtrochanteric area of the right thigh. Tell me, what's wrong with me?
Elena, your symptoms are really similar to osteoarthritis. The most accurate description is provided by MRI.
Hello. I’m 42 years old, if I walk quickly, or under load there is pain in the hip joint that I can’t walk further, I stand and then walk again. If I just stand or walk 20 meters, then there is no pain. What could this be?. Thanks in advance .
Hello, Sergey. The same symptoms can cause a variety of diseases. A clinical examination and radiography are required. Possible development of coxarthrosis.
Try traditional methods of treatment, for example, baths with pine branches, sea salt (1 kg), adding honey (2 tbsp.) and Jerusalem artichoke. After taking a bath, you need to apply a lard compress to the affected area. The course of treatment is approximately 12 - 14 days.
Or, mix 200 g of footstep roots with 400 g of lard and boil for 10 minutes. Cool. Rub the resulting ointment into the skin until the pain disappears.
Hello! I am 13 years old. Yesterday I was skiing and fell on my right side, after 4-5 hours I felt pain in my right buttock, and if I lie still, there is no pain. Sutra also felt pain in her hip joint. Also, the pain sometimes radiates to the groin area and does not decrease when walking.
I'm sure it's an injury, but should I see a doctor?
Hello Lisa. Of course, you need to see a doctor, and you also need to get an x-ray.
Hello, I have aching pain in my right pelvis, especially at night. I noticed that the pain is already repeating for the third time in six months. Not so much during the day, but it aches a little. It doesn’t hurt when walking, only when sitting or lying down. Today it started to ache at 4 o'clock in the morning, I still couldn’t fall asleep, even when turning to the other side. I am 48 years old.
Hello, Bibigul. Often, pelvic pain is a consequence of neurological disorders and a manifestation of stressful situations (pain of a psychogenic nature). Also, the cause may be gynecological pathology, menstrual irregularities, damage to the hip joint, various acute and chronic conditions of the digestive and urinary organs (obstruction, the presence of kidney stones, etc.), malignant processes. As you can see, there are a lot of reasons and they are all different. We need to get examined. Contact your therapist and gynecologist first.
Hello, I'm 13. I do athletics. At the next competition (that day I was running and jumping) I felt pain in my hip joint. After the pain accompanied me only when running, I turned to an orthopedic traumatologist. He says “your leg function is good, I don’t understand why it hurts.” After examination by a doctor, rare but mild pain appeared when walking. The doctor said that most likely it was due to the heavy load, I needed to take a break. After 2 weeks, I came to the appointment again, because the pain continues when I run, the doctor examined me again, in the end she doesn’t know what I have, because the pain does not occur during any actions. But only when running.
The doctor prescribed Traumeel ointment. She said that everything would definitely work out. But what if it doesn’t work?
Hello Christina. At your age, hormonal changes and increased growth occur; the circulatory system does not always keep up with bone growth. Hence, with excessive loads, additional pain may appear. No one can judge in advance whether it will pass or not. Follow your doctor's recommendations and reduce your exercise for a while, drink more clean water (at least 2 liters per day), take Calcium D3. The menu includes more fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy products, and cereal porridges.
Pain in the area of the left kidney can be bothersome not only with a disease of this organ, but also with many other conditions. Pain on the left in the spine area can be caused by diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and spleen. To establish for sure that they are associated specifically with the left kidney, it is necessary to perform diagnostic studies. But sometimes simple tests are enough to help determine the cause of the pain and contact a specialist in time.
Kidney pain can be caused by different reasons and manifest itself in different ways. For example, with renal colic, they always occur either on the left or right in the lumbar region of the back, last several hours and are difficult to relieve with painkillers and antispasmodics. With pyelonephritis and glomerulonephritis, they are aching in nature and occur after hypothermia or physical exertion. Pain in the lumbar region in men is more often associated with physical activity and occurs in the evening or at night. Such varied symptoms cause difficulties in diagnosing renal pain. Let's consider this issue in more detail.
If your left kidney hurts badly, there may be different reasons. One of the most severe pain syndromes manifests itself in renal colic. It manifests itself in a painful attack with acute ureteral obstruction. This condition may be caused by a tumor or adhesions. The passage of foreign formations (clots or stones) through the narrowed ureter causes its obstruction, resulting in the development of renal colic. The reason for its development is also an increase in pressure in the kidney as a result of the reverse reflux of urine. The kidney begins to swell and increase in size, which is hampered by the dense fibrous capsule in which it is located. As a result, the internal renal structure is compressed, which also leads to increased pain.
Renal colic is considered one of the diagnostic criteria for urolithiasis. Its symptoms manifest itself in unilateral pain in the left kidney, or in the right kidney, difficulty urinating, and increased body temperature. The pain radiates to the lower back, to the left hypochondrium, to the solar plexus and along the ureter to the groin area. When the kidney on the left side hurts, intestinal motility decreases and the abdominal wall is tense.
A suddenly developing condition, when the kidney on the left hurts, requires immediate hospitalization. This condition may be caused by renal artery thrombosis. A blood clot that gets into it blocks its lumen and causes severe pain, high blood pressure, fever, nausea, vomiting, dyspeptic disorders and anuria. The pain is girdling in nature and reaches such intensity that the patient may lose consciousness.
First of all, attention is paid to the nature of the pain syndrome. A correctly collected anamnesis, as well as additional research, will help with this:
Ultrasound of the kidneys and urinary tract is one of the effective hardware diagnostic methods for urology research.
Treatment of renal colic is aimed at relieving pain. If the symptoms of pain suggest this pathology, then help can be provided even before the ambulance arrives in the form of a hot bath, which will reduce spasm and severe suffering. But, this procedure is contraindicated in other pathologies associated with pain in the kidney on the left. What to do if there is pain in the left kidney if it is associated with urolithiasis? Before the specialist arrives, the patient can be given antispasmodics and analgesics (spasmalgon, baralgin, etc.). But it is worth remembering that pain relief can significantly complicate diagnosis, since the symptoms will be erased. Medical care for renal colic should be provided in a specialized hospital by urologists.
Chronic kidney diseases are accompanied by enlargement of the organ and cause moderate pain. Why does the left kidney hurt in diseases such as chronic pyelonephritis, nephroptosis, or glomerulonephritis? The causes of pain are related to the characteristics of the course of these diseases.
Aching pain occurs in chronic pyelonephritis, pyelitis, tuberculosis, hydronephrosis, polycystic disease and other renal pathologies. It occurs in the morning and can be combined with signs of gastrointestinal dysfunction - nausea, vomiting, dyspeptic disorders. With glomerulonephritis, the inflammatory process develops very quickly and is accompanied by pain, swelling of the face in the morning, and a decrease in the amount of urine excreted, which contains blood. With hydronephrosis, dull, bursting pain is concentrated in the lumbar region. With pyelonephritis, pain in the kidney area is characterized by constant presence. The kidney hurts on the left, or on the right, or on both sides. In addition to pain, pyelonephritis is characterized by swelling of the face in the morning, increased body temperature and signs of intoxication.
A nagging pain is characteristic of nephroptosis (prolapse of the kidney). It occurs after heavy, prolonged physical activity in an upright position of the body (lifting and carrying loads). If you take a horizontal position of the body, the pain goes away.
Nephroptosis may cause pain in the area of the left kidney
The initial stage of nephroptosis is treated with conservative methods:
After the operation, the pain associated with the prolapse of the kidney disappears.
Constant nagging pain in the area of the left kidney occurs with hydronephrosis, when the organ increases in size due to excess urine. The discomfort does not go away when changing body position. It is accompanied by symptoms of toxicosis - nausea, vomiting.
Hydronephrosis is treated surgically. Preparation for surgery is aimed at relieving pain, reducing blood pressure and inflammation in the kidney. The operation consists of restoring the patency of the urinary system and plasticizing the structural tissue of the pelvis.
Pain due to tumors in the kidneys is not permanent and causes some discomfort in the lumbar region, either on the left or on the right. A malignant tumor of the left kidney can be either an independent disease of the organ or a cause of metastases from other organs affected by cancer. At first there is no pain, but as the tumor grows there may be unpleasant pain when palpating the kidney.
Pain occurs when the tumor reaches a large size
Pain from a cyst occurs when the tumor reaches a large size and puts pressure on the kidney and ureter. Pain in the left lumbar region can radiate to the right hypochondrium and stomach.
For small cysts, no treatment is required. But if the tumor grows and puts pressure on the kidney and other organs, then it is removed using one of the surgical methods:
For cancer of the left kidney, abdominal surgery is performed to remove the tumor, the organ damaged by it, and metastases. After surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal, immune and gene therapy are performed.
Aching pain that occurs against the background of atherosclerosis of the renal vessels. They occur periodically and are not intense.
The symptoms are very similar to hypertension, as they are accompanied, in addition to pain in the left side, by increased blood pressure. It is possible to differentiate atherosclerosis of the renal vessels from arterial hypertension using laboratory urine tests. They contain a large amount of protein, red blood cells and white blood cells.
Conservative methods of treating atherosclerosis of the left kidney are aimed at stopping and stabilizing the process. Antiplatelet agents, angioprotectors, antispasmodics, statins, immunomodulators, and vitamins are prescribed. Changing the composition of the diet and overall lifestyle aimed at preserving the potential of the kidneys is of great importance.
Surgical intervention is indicated in critical conditions associated with failure of kidney function. But even the surgical method does not eliminate the true cause of atherosclerosis. Therefore, the main method of treating this disease remains conservative therapy.
Atherosclerosis of the renal arteries is a dangerous disease that is accompanied by a large number of pathological symptoms, including pain.
They occur after bruises or ruptures of the kidneys. Their intensity depends on the severity of the injury and may be accompanied by a sharp decrease in blood pressure and shock due to internal hemorrhage.
Therapy for post-traumatic pain is aimed at eliminating the causes that caused the injury and relieving the pain syndrome.
The kidney on the left side of a pregnant woman may also hurt when the enlarged uterus causes its displacement.
Lower back pain on the left should not be ignored. Even if they are not permanent, you need to contact a specialist. A urologist can already at the preliminary diagnostic stage find out the nature of the pain syndrome and suggest the cause of the pathology. For a more accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to undergo a comprehensive urological examination. Treatment of pain in the left kidney almost always begins with conservative therapy. If medications and other treatments are ineffective, surgery is performed.
