Content
The blockade is the introduction of injection into the joint. In this case, the drug is administered into the shoulder joint. In this article, we will tell you how, and using which drugs, the shoulder joint is made.
Blockade for arthrosis of the shoulder joint: What are they doing?
The most interesting thing is that the blockade uses not only for arthrosis, but even with a huge number of other diseases. Among them are stretching of muscles and ligaments, arthritis, bursitis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondel and other ailments. The main advantage of this manipulation is that the drug is administered not through the blood, but directly into the place in which painful symptoms are felt, that is, in this case, it is the shoulder joint. Indeed, it is this place that is quite often subjected to arthrosis due to the fact that it is mobile.
Quite often, this happens in people who work in specific conditions. Often this happens with the employees of the mine, often in weightlifters and people who are busy with heavy physical labor. The blockade allows in a short period of time to reduce the pain syndrome or to get rid of it for a rather long time.
That is, there is no need to do injections, introduce non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs into the muscles or other drugs in Vienna. Because it needs to be done stably several times a day. The blockade can relieve pain for up to one month, possibly even longer, depending on the drug administered.
How and how is the blockade performed with arthrosis of the shoulder joint?
The drugs that are used for the blockade are selected by the doctor, depending on the severity of the disease and the patient's health, the presence of chronic diseases in him.
Preparation options:
- If, together with arthrosis, severe inflammation of the joints, boletus, arthritis are observed, then in this case non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs, as well as ordinary analgesics, are often used to relieve pain. Most often, lidocaine, novocaine and diclofenac are injected. The injection can not be made directly into the joint, but near it, in the synovial in a bag or in bone tissue. It all depends on the severity of the disease, and its manifestations. Also often, in order to reduce inflammation, relieving pain, corticosteroids, that is, hormonal drugs, including diplomatic span, are taken into the joints.
- In addition to these drugs, chondroprotectors are often administered. This is really important with arthritis, because inside the synovial bag is not enough lubricant fluid, thanks to which the joint can work normally. Accordingly, with arthrosis, chondroprotectors are most often introduced into the joint area in order to slow down the destruction process and restore its work. But not only these funds are used to introduce into the shoulder joint. Very often, the doctor chooses combined drugs, often administered no-shpu or vasodilating drugs. But these drugs are mainly used to improve the transportation of nutrients, as well as the influx of the main components to the joint and to enhance the therapeutic effect.
- Homeopathic preparations can sometimes be injected. But this is done in very rare cases only when all other injections did not give the expected results.
- A lot of information exists relative to blockade by Diprospan. This is a hormonal drug that acts in stages. It instantly helps to eliminate inflammation, and also does not allow intraarticular liquid to go beyond the synovial bag. It is worth noting that this drug is effective only for relieving pain. He in no way heals the joint, and does not help its restoration. Accordingly, this tool is used for arthrosis as a variety of analgesic drug. Most often, the medicine is used only if no other drugs helped. That is, non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs are ineffective.
Doctors note that Diprospan should be used only in extreme situations when other methods of treatment do not give any effect. Because it is a drug that treats, but over time contributes to the progression of the destruction of the joint and cartilage, bone tissue. Accordingly, it is best to do such injections not often, no more than 4 times a year. Patients, in turn, note that the effectiveness of the blockade decreases with the number of injections. That is, the more often such a blockade is made, the less effective it is.
Reviews about the use of blockade
Patients about the blockade were divided. Indeed, many people help to reduce pain, as well as restore motor activity. But many who have not noted the effectiveness of such treatment at all. It all depends on the stage of the disease, as well as related ailments. The fact is that people with autoimmune diseases, as well as diabetes mellitus, do not recommend such injections. Because they can significantly affect the further health of the patient, as well as cause a lot of side effects.
Reviews:
Eugene 45 years old. They made a blockade with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, due to the fact that there was a bruise. Against this background, arthrosis began to develop and progress. Indeed, the medicine helped relieve pain and the joint mobility improved. Now I can work freely with my shoulder, as well as my hand. Raise it quite high.
Olga, 55 years old. I suffer from arthrosis for several years. I tried a lot of things, this is not my first blockade. The most effective was the blockade using Diprospan. Although I did not want to do it for a long time, because I read that the drug is hormonal and not completely harmless. But besides this injection, nothing helped. All the same, my shoulder hurt a lot, I could not raise my hand and perform ordinary household chores. With Diprospan, the situation really improved significantly. Now I can freely do not very hard homework.
Oleg, 60 years old. I suffer from arthrosis due to the fact that half my life worked in the mine as a passer. The first symptoms began to feel at the age of 48. I suffer quite a long time ago, the pain often worries, and the hand also works poorly. But with the blockade, the situation really became better. Several drugs were injected to me at the same time. This is no-shpa, as well as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Sometimes the doctor introduced Lidocaine and Novokain. This really helped to get rid of pain for a long time, and at least somehow live a normal life.
The blockade is sometimes the only way to relieve pain and return the affected joint to life.
