A complex of injections of B vitamins for back pain

To maintain normal hemoglobin levels, a balanced diet is necessary. Excessive nervousness, pale skin, poor appetite and fatigue may indicate anemia and a lack of vitamin B12 in the body. In this case, additional use of special medications is indicated.

What vitamins help with osteochondrosis?

One of the contributing factors in the appearance and progression of osteochondrosis is an unbalanced diet and improperly dosed physical activity. And if degenerative changes are already visible on an MRI of the spine or make themselves felt by back pain, a feeling of numbness or tingling in the extremities, a neurologist can prescribe vitamin therapy for you - injection or drip administration of B vitamins. A regimen of vitamin injections is developed individually depending on your needs , complaints and health status of each patient. So, to maintain muscles and muscle corset, injections of vitamin B6 are given. This vitamin is also needed for the normal functioning of the nervous system, so when there is compression of the nerve roots, it is advisable to use drugs containing pyridoxine. Vitamin B1 injections have a positive effect on the functioning of the entire central and peripheral nervous system. Especially injections of this vitamin are beneficial for improving the functioning of the nerves responsible for nutritional processes in tissues. A neurologist will prescribe a course of vitamin B12 injections for the prevention and treatment of demyelination (the process of destruction of nerve cells and damage to the nerve sheath). In addition to B vitamins, vitamin D is sometimes prescribed for degenerative changes in the spine. Vitamin D or calciferol is a vitamin that determines the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in the body. The positive effects of vitamin D are still being studied. Thus, D-vitamin therapy is even used to prevent the development of cerebral atherosclerosis and slow down the aging of the body. The form of taking this vitamin is through the mouth (orally). These vitamins are produced in oil and water solutions. Thus, by undergoing inexpensive complex treatment with vitamins for osteochondrosis, the patient can reduce or completely eliminate symptoms such as:

• numbness in the limbs;
• tingling or nagging pain in the arms and legs.

Indications for use

Understanding cyanocobalamin what it is, it is used in the complex treatment of various diseases in order to enhance the effects of basic drugs. This allows you to overcome dangerous diseases in the shortest possible time. As a monotherapy, the drug is usually prescribed to prevent anemia.

Vitamin B12 injections are indicated for complex therapy of various liver diseases. Thanks to them, it is possible to achieve good results in the treatment of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc. Injections can improve the condition of patients with Down syndrome. The drug is always included in the complex treatment of diseases of the nervous system and skin diseases.

Vitamin b12 in ampoules is often taken for preventive purposes. It is important when prescribed in high doses

• Biguanides for diabetes mellitus.
• Para-aminosalicylic acid for tuberculosis.

Vitamin B12 in ampoules is prescribed to prevent the occurrence of its deficiency in pathologies of the stomach and intestines, when the absorption of cyanocobalamin is impaired. Most often the need for this arises in the following cases:

• After resection of part of the stomach or small intestine.
• With the development of Crohn's disease, in which lesions appear on the walls of the intestine.
• For malignant neoplasms of the pancreas and intestines.
• With radiation sickness.

Vitamin B12 in ampoules, the price of which is available in a pharmacy, should be taken for vitamin deficiency. It will help strengthen the body's defenses against frequent colds. Since a deficiency of the substance in the body affects the condition of hair, nails and teeth, cyanocobalamin is prescribed for cosmetic purposes.

B vitamins in the form of injections

B vitamins can be taken by mouth or orally, as well as parenterally or by injection. In order for the body to take the maximum dose of vitamins, neurologists recommend injecting them. Injections are usually performed in the gluteal muscle. You should know that vitamin injections are somewhat painful, so it is best to do them in a medical clinic. The treatment course of vitamins is 10-20 injections.

If you have such an opportunity, it is best to take vitamins by injection for medicinal purposes, since their bioavailability or absorption by the body is higher when administered by injection.

For neurological problems, it is vitamin injections or droppers that are used, since it is necessary that the maximum possible amount of the drug enters the body and immediately begins to act by combining with blood proteins. As already noted, the most important vitamins for spinal health are B1, B12, B6 and B9. To prevent diseases of the central nervous system with food, a person can consume them if he adds the following products to his diet:

• B1 (thiamine) is found in chicken, liver and grains.
• B6 (pyridoxine) is found in eggs, shrimp, oysters, tuna, ham, chicken, minced beef and lamb, liver, cottage cheese, cheese, and nuts.
• B9 (folic acid ) contains greens, bananas, avocados.
• B12 (cyanocobalamin) contains salmon, liver, lamb, shrimp, sardines, cod, tofu, kelp.

Terms of use

Use the medicine in the form of injections in accordance with the doctor’s recommendations. For the prevention of anemia and vitamin deficiency and for complex therapy of various diseases, the most commonly used dosage is up to 500 mcg/day for 1-2 weeks.

When treating diseases of the central nervous system, the duration of treatment is a week. In this case, 200 mcg is administered for the first three days, then 300 mcg for 4 days.

Clarifications and changes to the treatment regimen are possible only in accordance with the doctor’s recommendations. It is not recommended to decide on the use of cyanocobalamin on your own, since the treatment regimen is determined by the doctor taking into account the patient’s condition and age. For children, the maximum daily dose should not exceed 400 mcg, and for adults 1000 mcg.

Injections are most often given intramuscularly. But sometimes the medication is administered subcutaneously or intravenously. Injections into the spinal cord are also prescribed to treat certain diseases. Such procedures can only be performed in a hospital setting.

Compatibility of B vitamins in injections

B vitamins are antagonists, therefore, if you are prescribed drugs separately, and not in a complex, ready-made drug, they should be injected every other day. Otherwise, their effectiveness is lost. It is for this reason that B vitamins cannot be mixed in one syringe. Complex solutions work a little differently. Currently, pharmaceutical companies have learned to produce complex preparations of B vitamins, which contain special stabilizing substances that prevent the antagonists in the ampoule from being destroyed.

Vitamin B12 in neurology

A person should especially monitor the level of vitamin B12 in his body. The fact is that it is an important metabolic substrate for various biochemical reactions in the body. For example, this vitamin serves for the synthesis of red blood cells, enzymes, methionine acid, nucleic acids, and activation of blood clotting. The body takes vitamin B12 from food, and some of it is also produced by special bacteria in the intestines. The body's daily need for this vitamin is very small, but it is essential for the process of hematopoiesis and the healthy functioning of the central nervous system. B12 has the ability to accumulate in the human liver in reserve, so its deficiency is a very serious symptom of diseases such as anemia, damage to nerve tissue or polyneuropathy, stroke due to excess homocysteine ​​in the blood. If a person, for one reason or another, begins to lack vitamin B12, he suffers from systematic weakness, shortness of breath, loss of sensation in the limbs, a limping gait, “cotton leg” syndrome, memory deteriorates, and chilliness in the arms and legs may occur. Often the tongue is an indicator of a lack of vitamin B12 in the body. In a patient in such a situation, the doctor may observe a smooth, bright crimson, varnished tongue with atrophy of the papillae. In neurology, B12 deficiency leads to the fact that the nerve roots of the spine do not receive enough nutrition, and degenerative changes occur in the myelin sheath of the nerves. Due to a lack of vitamin, the membrane is poorly formed, the nerves begin to transmit information incorrectly, that is, they conduct impulses poorly, as a result of which a person loses sensitivity in the legs and arms. The consequences of an acute lack of vitamin B12 can lead to the development of paresis and complete paralysis. These are of course extremes, but still... Insufficient levels of vitamin B12 can also lead to stroke. This occurs due to excess levels of homocysteine ​​in the blood. As a result, the inner linings of the arterial vessels begin to collapse, and cholesterol begins to integrate into these lacunae, forming an atherosclerotic plaque. As a result of this, blockage of first small and then large vessels occurs, thrombus formation and, as a final result, myocardial infarction or stroke.

Vitamin B6 and carpal tunnel syndrome

Sometimes it happens that a person wakes up with a feeling of numbness in the fingers. Neurologists call this condition tunnel syndrome. The cause of this disease lies in the wrist area, where there is a special canal (tunnel) through which the median nerve passes. It innervates the second, first and third fingers of the hand, and thanks to this nerve, these three fingers sense and carry out movements. In people with a certain type of activity, when the load is placed on the hand or the work is accompanied by vibration, the transmission of impulses along the median nerve is disrupted, and the fingers become numb as a result. To treat carpal tunnel syndrome, the doctor may prescribe a course of vitamin B6 injections and physical therapy. Using a needle, a drug containing B6 is injected directly into the tunnel, as a result of which inflammation, numbness and pain go away. Typically, for carpal tunnel syndrome, 3 to 5 injections are given, and such therapy has a very long-lasting effect.

How to measure your B vitamin levels?

A deficiency of B vitamins can occur due to a number of reasons:

• nutritional deficiencies due to a strict vegetarian diet;
• problems with the absorption of vitamins in the intestines due to atrophy of the mucous membrane or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• helminthiasis;
• Smoking and alcohol also reduce the level of B vitamins in the body.

Vitamin B17 and cancer treatment

Recently, scientists in search of a cure for cancer are increasingly paying close attention to vitamin B17 (amegdalin), which is found in flax seeds, millet and fruit seeds. Medical debate about the benefits and harms of this substance in the treatment of oncology does not subside. There are a number of studies that suggest that vitamin B17 helps in the fight against cancer. This opinion is shared by a number of medical specialists (American Dr. Krebs and Edward Griffin, Italian Dr. Guidetti), who consider cancer to be a disease caused by a lack of certain elements in the body. They claim that daily consumption of 7-10 apricot kernels prevents the development of cancer. And if cancer has already developed, then with dosed use of vitamin B17, tumor development decreases and the formation of metastases is stopped. But at the moment there are no generally accepted clinical studies confirming the therapeutic effect of vitamin B17 in the treatment of cancer. There are also a number of statements by the American oncologist Lester M Crawford that there is no scientific evidence that drugs with vitamin B17 (for example, laetrile) can cure cancer. Moreover, he believes that B17 is a dangerous compound that contains the deadly component cyanide. But, despite the skepticism of official medicine about the ability of vitamin B17 to help treat cancer, doctors do not give up attempts to study B vitamins as a promising group of substances in the treatment of cancer. Now active experiments are being conducted with vitamin B1.

Vitamin B deficiency

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is a water-soluble vitamin, one of the most famous of the entire B group. Vitamin B1 deficiency is quite common because it is heavily consumed by the body. This is an essential vitamin that is involved in energy metabolism. It normalizes the activity of the central nervous, cardiovascular and endocrine systems.

Vitamin B deficiency

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a water-soluble vitamin. In pharmacies it is often sold in the form of ampoules with a solution. The fact is that this vitamin, like vitamins B1, B12, C, can be isolated and made into a solution. It is worth noting that this vitamin is not synthesized by the body; it comes only from the outside.

Indications for the purpose of the study

Vitamin B12 is the common name for two chemical variants of the cobalamin molecule (cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin), which are converted into active compounds in the body.
Sometimes vitamin B12 is understood as a combination of the four most studied forms of chemical varieties of cobalamin containing cobalt (cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin).

In the literature, vitamin B12 usually means cyanocobalamin, since it is in this form that a significant part of vitamin B12 enters the human body.

The vitamin B12 molecule is the largest of all vitamin molecules and the only one in living nature that contains a metal atom (cobalt).

Vitamin B12 is the only vitamin that is synthesized in nature exclusively by microorganisms and deposited in the liver.

Cyanocobalamin enters the human body with food of animal origin, and its main sources are animal liver, fish, eggs and dairy products. Vegetables and fruits do not contain vitamin B12.

Cobalamin levels depend on how much of the vitamin comes from food, how much is excreted, and how much is consumed by the body.

With a balanced diet, a person receives from 5 to 15 mcg of vitamin B12 daily. The daily requirement for vitamin B12 for adults is from 2 to 3 mcg/day, for children – from 0.3 to 1.4 mcg/day. During pregnancy and lactation, the body's daily need for vitamin B12 increases to 7.6 mcg/day. After the cessation of vitamin intake into the human body, its deficiency (up to anemia) develops over several years. The incidence of vitamin B12 deficiency in the age group over 60 years is 40%.

Absorption of cobalamin occurs in the intestine in the presence of a specific enzyme - intrinsic factor of Castle, which is synthesized by the cells of the gastric mucosa. Vitamin B12 supplied with food binds to this enzyme, and the resulting complex interacts with the receptors of the cells of the ileal mucosa. During absorption, the complex disintegrates - vitamin B12 penetrates through the wall of the small intestine into the bloodstream, where it binds to a transport protein that delivers it to consumer cells. Unclaimed cobalamin accumulates in reserve - mainly in the liver, but also in the spleen, lungs and kidneys.

Vitamin B12 is involved in the maturation of red blood cells, in the processing of homocysteine, the metabolism of folate, vitamin D, cholesterol, etc. Thanks to vitamin B12, blood cells, mucous membranes, and skin are renewed.

With vitamin B12 deficiency, an ineffective type of hematopoiesis develops: red blood cell precursor cells grow but do not divide, resulting in the formation of small numbers of giant red blood cells. Megaloblastic anemia develops.

Vitamin B12 deficiency causes changes and damage to neurons in the brain and spinal cord, which can result in physical, neurological and mental disorders.

In medicine, cyanocobalamin is used to treat anemia, polyneuritis, multiple sclerosis, radiculitis, and normalize lipid metabolism. It has been established that the administration of high doses of the vitamin significantly reduces the progression of atherosclerosis in the early stages of the process. In pediatrics, vitamin B12 is used to treat low birth weight newborns.

The use of B vitamins can reduce the content of homocysteine ​​in the blood, which damages the walls of blood vessels, making their surface loose. Cholesterol and calcium are deposited on the damaged surface, forming an atherosclerotic plaque. Elevated homocysteine ​​levels increase the risk of thrombosis. For a 2.5 μmol/L increase in plasma homocysteine ​​levels, the risk of myocardial infarction increases by 10% and the risk of stroke by 20%.

Thus, the following indications are distinguished for determining the level of vitamin B12:

• diagnosis of anemia;
• diagnosis of vitamin B12 absorption disorders;
• monitoring vitamin levels during a strict vegetarian diet;
• diagnosis of congenital forms of vitamin B12 deficiency;
• monitoring the level of vitamin B12 during the treatment of neurological and mental diseases, in oncological practice;
• age over 50 years;
• after surgical interventions on the gastrointestinal tract (gastrectomy, extensive resections of the small intestine).
