The first slipped disc is usually a warning shot, but sometimes it is life-threatening. You absolutely have to know when you need to see a doctor as soon as possible, i.e. in an emergency, and when you need to rest and relax. There are really many possible reasons why you are suffering from back pain. One of them is precisely this slipped disc, which everyone has probably heard of before, and someone in your extended family or circle of friends has probably had it too. Very often, but it must also be said: the problems and pain do not come from the intervertebral discs. What is a slipped disc? In order to understand a slipped disc, we should first look at how the intervertebral discs are constructed and where they can be found. Our spine consists of several vertebral segments, between which the intervertebral discs are located, a total of 23 in number. The intervertebral discs each consist of two parts. Inside is the core, which consists of a gel-like mass and water retention, also known as jelly. This core is surrounded by a fibrous membrane. Together, these parts act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae and evenly distribute the pressure caused by movement, for example. Signs of a slipped disc? The most common symptom is of course pain, which is classified according to duration, quality and location. Pain is acute if it lasts less than 6 weeks, subacute if it lasts between 6 and 12 weeks, and chronic if it lasts 12 weeks or more. The pain itself is often described as stabbing and shooting, and depending on where the slipped disc occurs, it can radiate to other parts of the body. If the slip occurs in the cervical spine, the pain can radiate into the arms, for example, while broken discs in the lumbar spine can also cause pain in the legs. Aside from the pain, there are also other possible symptoms such as discomfort, tingling, numbness, loss of muscle function, reduced reflexes and neurological loss of function. You should be particularly careful if you notice that the pain suddenly subsides but paralysis in this area increases. This can mean that nerves are dying. ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With “Video Visit Dr. Weigl” you have found the current and medical-scientific channel that describes topics relating to pain, #medicine and #health in an understandable way but based on facts, guidelines and studies. ▬ Even more videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Typical signs of diabetes: https://bit.ly/DiabetesAnzeichen_Video Bad mood or even depressed?
