Leg pain caused by compressed lumbar disc is usually treated conservatively first, such as physical therapy, medication, etc. If the effect of conservative treatment is not good, then surgery should be considered. Conservative treatment for lumbar disc compression includes bed rest, reducing the time of working at the desk and avoiding bending activities to reduce the burden on the lower back. Meanwhile, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be taken orally under the guidance of the doctor to alleviate the pain, such as ibuprofen, celecoxib, etc., and nutritive nerve medication, such as intramuscular injection of adenosine-cobalamin can be given as well. In addition, lumbar traction therapy can also be carried out under the guidance of the therapist, which is effective in treating the increase in the intervertebral disc space and relieving disc herniation. If the results of the above conservative treatments are unsatisfactory, or if the patient cannot tolerate the pain caused by the conservative treatments, and serious functional limitations such as foot drop and abnormal urinary and fecal functions occur, then surgery should be actively carried out in order to completely relieve the nerve compression. It is recommended that the patient should consult the doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions, do not blindly use medication.
