What Is Fibrositis?

Myofibrositis is a series of clinical symptoms and signs that appear due to cold, humidity, and chronic strain caused by edema, exudation, and fibrosis of myofascial or muscle tissue. Fascia, myometrium, ligament, tendon, tendon sheath, periosteum) and subcutaneous tissue. The disease is a common orthopaedic disease with a high incidence and it is more common in young adults. It occurs in lower back, hips, neck and shoulders, and it mainly manifests as pain, swelling, muscle tension, abnormal posture and dysfunction.

Causes and causes of myofibertitis

Damage
Major or minor injuries can cause this disease. Such as injury during exercise or injury during work, acute damage to muscles, fascial tissues, or bones and joints, and scarring after tissue fibrosis gradually causes extensive pain.
2. Cold and humid
There are many cases in winter or spring. If you sleep on a wet, cold floor at night, back pain may occur in the morning.
3. infection
Some viral infections, such as influenza and measles, can cause soreness in the lower back.
4. mental stress
Pain makes the patient nervous, which increases muscle tone and even spasms, creating pain-spasms-pain loops, forming a vicious circle and aggravating pain.
5. Related to rheumatism
Patients with rheumatism have low back pain after rheumatic fever, and fibritis is also present in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Clinical manifestations of myofibertitis

Symptoms
Mainly manifested as diffuse blunt pain in the lower back, especially in both sides of the lumbar muscles and above the diaphragm. Back pain, chills, numbness of the skin, muscle cramps, and dyskinesias. Pain in the morning, light in the day, regaining weight in the evening, prolonged inactivity or excessive activity can induce pain, a long course of disease, and attacks due to fatigue and climatic changes.
2. Signs
At the time of examination, the affected area had obvious localized tenderness points. Touching this point could cause pain and radiation. The pain disappeared after injection with procaine pain points.

Myofibrosis

1.X-ray
Check that there are no exceptions.
2. Magnetic resonance (MRI) examination
A strip-shaped long T 1 long T 2 signal can be seen subcutaneously at the lower back, with a clearer boundary, which is a signal of exuding fluid.
3. Laboratory inspection
Anti-O or ESR is normal or slightly higher.

Diagnosis of myofibertitis

1. Local pain, chills, numbness, muscle spasms and dyskinesias.
2. Pain often occurs in the early morning, which is reduced or disappeared after activity or heat compress.
3. There are obvious local tenderness.
4. Pain disappeared after injection with procaine pain points.
5. X-ray inspection is normal.
6. Magnetic resonance (MRI) examination, strip-shaped long T 1 long T 2 signal can be seen under the skin of the lower back, the boundary is clearer, and it is an exudate liquid signal.
7. Laboratory tests for resistance to "O" or erythrocyte sedimentation rate are normal or slightly higher.

Myofibertitis Treatment

General treatment
Eliminate the cause, pay attention to keep warm, apply local heat to prevent cold. Pay attention to rest during the acute phase.
2. Drug treatment
Anti-inflammatory analgesics (such as indomethacin, ibuprofen, and fenpyridine. The use of corticosteroids should be strictly controlled), and vitamins (vitamin E and B 1 have a certain effect on primary myofascitis). The effect of using traditional Chinese medicine is very good.
3. Closed therapy
2% proludin due to 4 ~ 15ml, 25mg of enhanced Songlong, closed the pain point. Once a week, 3 to 5 times is a course of treatment. Can be 3 to 4 consecutive courses, most cases can be cured.
4. Chinese Medicine Law
Traditional Chinese medicine is combined with hot compress and massage to treat, and the effect is stable and ideal without recurrence.
5. Other
Physical therapy and massage treatment.

Prevention of myofibertitis

In life, protection and prevention should be the mainstay. Treatment should be completely eradicated to prevent recurrence. Effective treatment methods combined with physical therapy and massage can make patients return to normal life quickly. Pay attention to keeping warm every day and applying hot compresses to prevent getting cold. Pay attention to rest during the acute phase.
