It is easy to cause lumbar disc herniation aggravation. Compared to sit and stand when the lumbar intervertebral discs to bear the load to be smaller, about the equivalent of the body’s gravity, but if a long time standing will also cause lumbar intervertebral disc herniation aggravation, lumbago, leg pain, leg numbness aggravation. So lumbar disc herniation no matter what position to avoid a position too long, more than 1 hour to change position appropriately, do lumbar stretching movements, relax the muscles of the waist or lie down for a while.
