There is no need to panic, but it cannot be taken lightly, and a series of orderly measures should be taken when it is suspected that it has a direct spinal disease.
First of all, be aware of your symptoms. There are typical manifestations of direct spinal disease, such as chronic back pain, which tends to be severe in the morning when it wakes up, accompanied by a marked morning rigidity, which may alleviate post-activity symptoms, but the scope of spinal activity is gradually limited as the disease progresses. In addition, external ecstasy, such as hips, knee joints and symptoms of eye inflammation, such as iris, may occur. Further action is required if some of the symptoms described above are present, especially if they last for some time and do not show significant signs of improvement.
Next, medical attention should be provided in a timely manner. Regular hospitals are chosen, preferably with a specialist in rheumatological immunization. At the time of the visit, the doctor is given a detailed description of his or her symptoms, including the part of the pain, its nature (in the form of sting, blunt pain or acid pain), its duration, and whether there are aggravating or mitigating factors. For example, informing the doctor whether the pain is increased after the break, whether it is reduced after the activity and whether it is related to weather events, details are crucial for the doctor ‘ s diagnosis.
In general, doctors conduct a full medical examination, focusing on the activity of the spine, such as whether the movement of bends, backslids, bends, etc., is restricted, and whether the joints are swollen and swollen. At the same time, a series of laboratory tests will be arranged, the most important of which is HLA-B27. Although HLA-B27 positive does not necessarily mean that it is a high-relationship spinal disease, it is a high-prevalence among people with a high-relative spinal disease and has important reference value for diagnosis. In addition, inflammatory indicators such as erythrocyte deposition (ESR), C Reacting Protein (CRP) will be examined, which tend to rise during disease activity.
In addition to laboratory tests, visual examinations are essential. The X-ray is a commonly used initial screening tool, which allows for the observation of pathologies in the gill joints, such as fuzzy joints, bone damage, changes in joint faults, etc. Further CT or MRI tests may be needed for patients with less explicit early diagnosis, which can show more clearly the gill joints as well as the nuanced pathologies of the spinal column, helping to detect pathologies at an early stage and improving the accuracy of the diagnosis.
While waiting for the results of the examination, it is important to maintain a good mental attitude and avoid excessive anxiety and stress, as emotional factors may also have an impact on the symptoms of the body. At the same time, care should be taken to rest, to avoid overwork and intense exercise, and to prevent an increased burden on the spine and joints. However, bed rest cannot be kept in place for long periods, and appropriate activities can maintain the flexibility of the joints, such as simple stretching exercises.
If it is finally diagnosed as a direct spinal disease, the doctor is actively involved in the treatment. Treatment programmes typically include drug treatment, physical treatment and rehabilitation, and exercise. In the area of drug treatment, there is a common use of inflammatory anti-inflammation drugs for the relief of pain and inflammation; rheumatism drugs, which control the progress of the condition; and the use of biological agents may be required in serious cases. Physical therapy such as heat dressing, massage, acupuncture can help to relieve pain and muscle stress. Rehabilitation is essential for maintaining the functions of the spinal column and joints, such as swimming, yoga, etc., which enhances muscle strength and improves joint activity.
If you suspect that you have a direct spinal disease, you must treat yourself calmly, actively engage in medical treatment, cooperate with examinations and treatment, and, through scientific management and intervention, effectively control the condition, improve the quality of life and live in harmony with the disease.
