General information about mositis
Mositic doctors call the states in which the lesions of the muscle tissues occur due to the impact of certain adverse factors, such, for example, as injuries, toxic lesions, inflammatory processes. Myozitis is characterized by inflammatory processes occurring in one or simultaneously in several skeletal muscles. The inflammatory process can happen in the neck area, chest, backs. Multiple inflammations in different muscle groups are called polyimosit. If the disease affects not only muscle tissue, but also skin covers, then it is called dermatomyosis.
Why Miositis occurs?
As reasons that can provoke myositis, doctors call:
- Transferred infectious diseases - angina, rheumatism, flu, lupus erythematosus.
- Parasitic infections - echinococcosis, trichinosis.
- Local infection Staphilococci, streptococci and other microbes.
- Consequences of injury.
- Frequent and prolonged stresses leading to hypertonus of skeletal muscles. The protective reaction of the body during the next nervous stress is muscular abbreviations. Gradually growing resistant muscle spasmodes, which leads to inflammation.
- Long stay in uncomfortable for muscle groups Pose.
- Strong supercooling.
- Muscle tension due to frequent cramp.
Often, myozit accompanies people of such professions as typist, PC operators, drivers, pianists, violinders. All these people are constantly involved in the work of the same muscle groups.
Symptoms of Mosita
Depending on where inflammation proceeds, a person has a nunning pain in the muscles of the neck, chest, back, legs, hands. So, with the cervical mosite of a person torment pain in the neck area, shoulder belt, the occipital part. In the muscles, the tension is felt, the ethnicity of the muscles is visible, when they feel sick places, you can notice the nodules, seals. Sometimes marked and redness of the patient. When the weather changes, the pains can increase. During the movements of pain, they also give more about yourself, the disease is increasingly progressing, then the restriction of the mobility of nearby joints is joined. Growing weakness in muscles, it can lead to their atrophy (partial or complete).
Types and types of myositis
Depending on the nature of the flow and the reasons that led to the disease, my sum is divided into
- professional;
- traumatic;
- cold, infectious, parasitarian, toxic;
- acute and chronic;
- Ungvented and purulent.
Depending on the area where the muscles are amazed, my sum is divided into cervical, chest, lumbar ..
Perhaps the most common of myositis, it is cervical. After all, our neck is constantly experiencing a colossal load. And with a combination of adverse factors (irregular posture, hypothermia under the flow of air from air conditioning, nervous stress, long stay in one position) and lead to the appearance of pain. Sometimes besides the neck, pain is felt in the temples, the back of the head, shoulders, ears. It is difficult for a person to raise his head, to be in such a position. If inflammation goes further, it applies to the muscles of the larynx, pharynx, esophagus, then it can entail disorders in breathing, swallowing food.
For lumbar mositis, pain in the muscles of the lower back, seals in them, determined during palpation (provenation).
With polyimositis more expressed muscle weakness than pain. First, it is difficult for a person to make ordinary movements, for example, climbing the stairs, then it becomes more and more difficult and harder to hold the head in a vertical position. Under the progression of the disease, muscle atrophy occurs participating in chewing, swallowing, respiratory process.
With a dermatomyositis on the skin you can first notice the rash of red or purple color on his hands or in the top of the body. Possible chills, the temperature rises, there is a weakness. Then there is a decrease in body weight. Muscles from elastic turn into a flabby.
Diagnostics
To correctly diagnose, do not confuse my opinion Osteochondrosis, In addition to inspection, the doctor prescribes x-ray research, finds out whether degenerative lesions have, whether the mobility of the vertebrae has been preserved. The patient is given to the analysis of blood, with a certain antibody and the increased activity of some muscle enzymes will be detected in it. There is another diagnostic method - electromyography.
Recommendations for treatment
After the diagnosis, the identification of the causes of the disease immediately proceed to complex treatment, which includes different methods, for example, physiotherapy, at which muscles and nerve endings occurs. Analgesics are prescribed for pain relief. More doctors recommend rubing in sore places anti-inflammatory, warming ointment (capsicles, Ben benge, long-cream cream, diclofenac) or stick plaster nanoplast forte. If my sum is caused by parasites, antiparasitic means are issued.
With purulent mosite shown Antibiotics, In some cases, jets are opened, the wound drain is constantly washed with antiseptic solutions. In the first days, a complete peace is desirable, lack of loads for sick area. Essential to eat vegetable dishes, fruits, cereals products. Good results give qualified massage (relaxation and spot), classification of physical education under the supervision of a specialist. Other Methods - Reflexotherapy, acupuncture Manual and magnetic vacuum therapy. Houses on sore places advise to bind wool shawls or scarves. You can carry out rubbing with essential oils (lavender, eucalyptus, mayoran, geranium.
Our site warns: if my sum is purulent, then physiotherapeutic procedures and massages are contraindicated.
But the funds offered by traditional medicine:
- Remove pain and inflammation in muscle fibers will help cabbage leaves. Two sheets need to be laid out with ordinary shopping soap, sprinkle drinking soda a bit, impose on the night of an affected place and fix it first by a golk or bandage, and then woolen handkerchief.
- Rub sick places for the night with such a composition similar to the consistency on sour cream. For rubbing, it will be necessary to confuse the egg yolk, a tablespoon of home apple vinegar and a teaspoon of turpentar. Then the place of inflammation also insulate.
The treatment of myositis must certainly be carried out under the supervision of the attending physician. If it is carried out correctly, the pain attacks go through 7-14 days, during which time there is inflammation, the muscle tone is normalized, their nutrition, the motor activity is gradually restored.
To warn my sum, try to avoid overvoltage of muscles, injuries, supercooling, drafts. Put the correctly, follow the state of immunity, carry infectious diseases in time.
