What to do if back fasciitis is unbearable

When the pain of back fasciitis is unbearable, it should be relieved as soon as possible through rest, hot compress, medication and appropriate rehabilitation exercises. If necessary, seek medical help to prevent the condition from worsening.

1 Causes of back fasciitis

The main causes of back fasciitis include long-term poor posture, excessive exercise or strain, and cold stimulation leading to fascial inflammation. Maintaining certain movements for a long time, such as working at a desk or overusing muscles, will increase the risk of fascial damage. Failure to keep warm in a cold or humid environment may cause local inflammatory reactions. If not intervened in time, local inflammation may cause persistent pain or even limited movement.

2 Specific methods of pain relief

1. Rest and hot compress: Avoid strenuous exercise, rest more, and let the damaged muscles and fascia recover. At the same time, hot compress 2 to 3 times a day, 15 minutes each time, can effectively promote blood circulation and relieve pain and stiffness.

2. Drug treatment: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium can temporarily relieve inflammation and pain. You can also use topical analgesic ointments such as Voltaren ointment under the guidance of a doctor. If the pain persists or worsens, you should consult a doctor in time to adjust the treatment plan.

3. Rehabilitation exercise: Appropriate gentle stretching exercises, such as cat stretching and shoulder and neck stretching exercises, can enhance muscle flexibility and reduce local muscle contracture. However, it is important to avoid excessive stretching or running and jumping exercises to avoid aggravating inflammation.

3. Life care and preventive measures

Pay attention to maintaining the correct posture in daily life, especially when standing or sitting for a long time, change your body posture frequently to avoid long-term muscle tension; strengthen the back muscle group training, such as through yoga, Pilates and other activities to improve muscle endurance and flexibility; pay attention to keeping warm in winter, especially the back muscles to prevent cold, strengthen the body's resistance, and avoid local poor blood circulation. Adjust the working environment, such as using ergonomic desks and chairs, can reduce the uneven force in daily life.

If the pain persists for more than a week, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever and limited mobility, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor will perform examinations such as MRI to clarify the problem and further develop a treatment plan based on the cause.

The pain of back fasciitis not only affects daily life, but may also develop into a chronic condition. Professional intervention and lifestyle adjustments based on your own situation can effectively relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence. If the situation is serious, please seek professional medical help in time to avoid complications.
