Meet Miosit

Causes of the development of myosita

Myozit is inflammation of muscles, manifested by pain and muscle weakness. Sometimes in the subsequent affected muscles atrophy. The reason for the development of myositis may be infections (flu, chronic tonsillitis), parasitic diseases, toxic effects.

In violinists, pianists, typist, chauffeurs, the work of which is associated with the voltage of individual muscle groups, or in a long time working in an uncomfortable pose of myozit - a professional disease. It may also arise after excessive cooling or tension of muscles, strong muscle cramps during swimming.

Purulent myositis can be a consequence of injuries or complication of intramuscular injections, if infection has been introduced into the muscle.

Acute myozitis arises suddenly during acute infections, after injury, sharp muscle tension.

Chronic myozit can be the outcome of an acute or complication of any infection. Muscles of the neck, lumbar region, chest, calfs are amazed more often.

Signs of Mosita

The disease is manifested by local pains whose intensity increases. Pains are sharply enhanced at the voltage (reduction) of affected muscles, as well as when they feel. The appearance of swelling, sometimes - leaning the skin. In severe cases, the temperature rises, the headache appears.

At the mosite of chewing muscles, jaws convulsively compressed, the muscles are strongly tense. Pain becomes sometimes so strong that a person is not able not only to chew, but also to talk. Pain in the compacted muscles is intensified not only when driving, but also at night, at night, when changing the weather.

In light cases, pains usually pass in a few days, however, with the action of such adverse factors, such as cooling or excessive physical stress, frequent recurrences of the disease are possible.

Treatment of Mosita

At the beginning of the disease, peace is needed, with the damage of the muscles of the back, legs, abdominal wall - compliance with beddown. As a rule, patients with myositis are treated at home, but a visit to the doctor (therapist, a neuropathologist, and in severe cases - and to the surgeon) is desirable. Usually prescribe painful agents, with purulent mositis - antibiotics.

Under the purulent mositis, surgical intervention may be needed: the opening of the washing with the subsequent drainage of the wound and washing it with antiseptic solutions.

At the mosite, dry heat is shown (by a woolen handkerchief), physiotherapeutic procedures, array of affected muscles.

At home, stroking and rubbing the muscles using the diluted essential oil of eucalyptus, lavender, mayoran, pine or rosemary will help heat and relax the affected muscle fibers, stimulating local blood circulation. With a purulent mosite massage contraindicated, since the kneading muscles can lead to the spread of infection.

On the feasibility of massage in each case, you must consult with the doctor. In addition to the prevention, increased loads on individual muscle groups, hypothermia, long stay in an inconvenient posture, traumatic damage should be avoided.
