What is the pain under the left vertebra?

When the human body has health problems, various discomforts will occur. When pain occurs in different parts of the body, symptomatic treatment should be given instead of blindly. Some people often experience pain under the left rib cage. Sometimes the pain can be relieved by rubbing it with the hands, but sometimes the pain is severe. So what is the disease that causes pain under the left rib cage? Pain means that there is a problem with a certain organ, so it depends on which organ the pain is located.

1. "Pain under the left ribs" is mainly caused by compression of the kidneys and colon, as well as nerve disease. If there has been no major change in bowel movements since the onset of the pain and sleeping posture can be ruled out, intercostal neuralgia should be considered. Treatment takes time. You can try Voltaren ointment. If the pain is like a needle, it may be intercostal neuralgia, which is generally not a problem. If there is tenderness or dull pain, it may be caused by accidental trauma. If there is only pain but no local redness, swelling or bruising, it will get better after a period of time. If the pain is unbearable, you can use some external medications such as Yunnan Baiyao for treatment. Of course, you can also ask a local old Chinese medicine doctor to make Chinese herbal wine for treatment. If there are symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain, and no history of trauma, you should consider whether it is costochondritis and it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. Although this disease is not directly related to gallstones, some patients have experienced symptoms related to gallstones. The specific situation can only be clarified after understanding the symptoms.

2. Description of gallbladder stones . In the early stages of gallstones, biliary colic generally does not occur. If the stones are large, they are not likely to cause obstruction and there may be no obvious symptoms for a long time. Sometimes, you may feel upper abdominal distension or dull pain after a meal, which is mostly related to eating greasy food. Symptoms such as heartburn, gasping for air, bloating, and indigestion are common, which can be easily misdiagnosed as "stomach disease" or "hepatitis". If the stone particles are small, they will drift with the bile and become lodged in the neck of the gallbladder, causing severe biliary colic accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If the position of the lodged stone changes and the obstruction is relieved, the biliary colic will be relieved. There is no infection in the early stage of the disease, so there is no chills or fever. When infection and obstruction occur, the gallbladder may become suppurated, gangrenous, or even perforated. Acute attacks mostly occur after a full meal or greasy food. When lying flat, gallstones can easily slide into the cystic duct and cause obstruction, so some patients may have attacks at night. If the patient changes his or her body position at this time (such as sitting up or sleeping on the side), the stone will loosen and slide back into the gallbladder, the obstruction will be relieved, and the pain will be reduced or disappear. If gallstones are not treated for a long time, they will inevitably cause pathological changes. In addition to the increase in the number of stone particles, complications such as cholecystitis, gallbladder polyps, gallbladder atrophy, gallbladder porcelainization, and even gallbladder perforation and cancer may occur. It is recommended that you detect and cure it early. If hepatobiliary stones are discovered early, they can usually be cured in one or two courses of treatment. If they are left untreated for a long time, the only option left for treatment is gallbladder removal.

3. Diet. The diet should be light, and avoid greasy, fried, flatulent, spicy, hard, grilled, indigestible (such as rice dumplings, moon cakes, rice cakes, etc.), high-protein, high-cholesterol, high-fat foods, etc. Drink plenty of boiled water (3000ml/day), rest early (before 10:30 pm), do not overwork, do not sit for a long time, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, maintain an optimistic attitude, exercise appropriately, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
