Relieve lumbago or acute back pain
Classical lumbago is an intense and acute muscle contracture. Concretely, the spine defends itself and the musculature contracts, which produces an inflammatory reaction and therefore pain in the back, generally between the 12th rib and the lower buttocks

• What drugs? "If necessary, the doctor can prescribe an anti-inflammatory or a muscle relaxant (muscle relaxants) for a period of about a week", continues the specialist. But beware, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or muscle relaxants require a medical prescription. These drugs should not be taken for too long to avoid physical habituation. In addition, they have renal toxicity and known long-term side effects (gastric toxicity such as stomach aches and risks of ulcers). They are also contraindicated for people with high blood pressure problems because some anti-inflammatory drugs are likely to modify blood pressure.


Lumbago: how to relieve a kidney tour?
More commonly called a "kidney tour", lumbago is characterized by severe pain in the vertebrae. How to relieve lumbago? Responses from Dr Anne-Christine Della Valle, general practitioner.

When the pain lasts more than 3 months, it is called chronic back pain. When it lasts a few days or a few weeks, it is called acute low back pain (lumbago).
Relieve chronic back pain
Chronic back pain or low back pain from wear can be the result of repetitive gestures or movements made by certain professions, repeated shocks, overloading or inappropriate postures.

• What to do ? When you have had back pain for more than 3 months, you should consult your general practitioner. The latter can then advise you to do an X-ray, then an MRI if necessary. Depending on the results, an opinion from a specialist such as a rheumatologist may be necessary.

The first step in treatment is to do sports rehabilitation in a physiotherapist. The goal? Teach the person to use their back correctly, define any muscle improvements and decrease the pain threshold. Flexibility and muscle strengthening exercises and massages can then be practiced according to the patient's needs.
 It is also possible to use osteopathy to reduce muscle pain. To do this, the osteopath manipulates the patient so as to unblock the joints and remove reflex contractures.
Acupuncture can also improve pain by regulating the body's energy with needles pricked in specific places.
It may be useful to readjust your driving position or your workstation (seat, position of the screen, etc.) with the advice of an occupational physician.
It may be advisable to modify your lifestyle (lose weight if necessary, practice an appropriate regular physical activity).
• What drugs? The drug treatment is done on an ad hoc basis: an analgesic such as paracetamol combined with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug can be administered over a short period to decrease pain and reduce inflammation. Often prescribed for back pain, medicines codeine or based on opioid derivatives (tramadol) have the risk of addiction, it is better to avoid taking them.

• The lumbar belt may be prescribed by a general practitioner depending on the intensity.What sport to practice?
Even if the effort must obviously be adapted, it is necessary to continue to be active in the event of back pain. The first two days, it is better to avoid practicing sports to rest your back. Then, we do not hesitate to walk a good half an hour a day and we favor a rather gentle sport such as swimming, tai chi, yoga or cycling. Be careful, a person not or not very athletic should start gradually at the risk of accentuating his back pain in the event of too intense activity. And depending on her abilities, she can gradually increase the intensity of the sport. The most important thing is not to have intense activity, but regular! The attending physician or physiotherapist can help define the right movements and those which are most suitable.

 On the other hand, it is better to avoid the breaststroke outside the water (the reverse of the breaststroke) and the butterfly stroke which accentuate the arch of the back and can ultimately deform the spine.
→ Lying on the bed, raise your legs vertically and extend your arms horizontally above your head.

To relieve heavy legs quickly, nothing like doing "feet on the wall" or passing a jet of cold water over the legs. But not only that, because the plants our grandmothers used are still relevant today. Plants were at the center of symptomatic treatments for venous insufficiency, and they still are. Among them, horse chestnut, a so-called phlebotonic plant whose effects have been the best studied. In horse chestnut, substances are found which have a protective and stimulating effect on the walls of veins and small blood vessels, and which reduce inflammation and swelling. Fragon (also called small holly) has comparable properties. The witch hazel leaves and red vine leaves are also interesting. They contain tannins and flavonoids, which also gives them veinotonic and protective hair effects. The...
