Dull pain in left side of waist

There are many reasons for pain in the left side of the waist. Because there are internal organs, bones, and muscles here, the cause cannot be determined based on this large range alone. Stones, kidney disease, lumbar disc herniation, and lumbar muscle strain can all cause pain. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an examination to determine the cause. This article also talks about the relevant knowledge of lumbar muscle strain. Let the editor introduce the situation in detail below.

Overview of Lumbar Muscle Strain

Lumbar muscle strain, also known as functional low back pain, chronic low back injury, lumbar gluteal muscle fasciitis, etc., is actually a chronic damaging inflammation of the lumbar muscles and the fascia or periosteum of their attachment points. It is one of the common causes of low back pain. The main symptoms are swelling and pain in the waist or lumbosacral area, which recur repeatedly. The pain may vary with climate change or the degree of fatigue. For example, it may be aggravated by daytime fatigue and relieved after rest. It is a common clinical disease, a frequently-occurring disease, and has many causative factors. Over time, it can cause muscle fiber degeneration or even small tears, forming scars, fibrous cords or adhesions, leaving long-term chronic low back pain.

Causes

Lumbar muscle strain is a well-known lumbar disease, which is actually a chronic lumbar strain. It is mainly caused by two reasons. One is that after an acute lumbar sprain, it is not treated promptly and reasonably, resulting in the formation of chronic traumatic scars and adhesions of the lumbar muscles, which weakens the strength of the lumbar muscles and causes low back pain. Another reason is long-term, cumulative lumbar trauma.

treat

You can choose some anti-inflammatory analgesics to treat aseptic inflammation (any one of Voltaren oral tablets, ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, Tylenol, etc.). If the pain is more obvious, you can take an anti-inflammatory suppository at night, place it in the anus, and apply musk bone strengthening ointment on the above-mentioned tender points (the third transverse lumbar bulge and the place equivalent to the buttocks muscle injection). As I mentioned earlier, the most fundamental reason for this type of patient is that they sit for a long time and do not pay attention to the stretching exercises of their waist muscles, which causes the chest and waist muscles to be in a state of tension for a long time. Therefore, I designed an easy and effective chair exercise to stretch the muscles of the waist and back.
