Lumbar disc herniation refers to outward protrusion of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc. When the condition is mild, only lumbar pain usually occurs, and when the nucleus pulposus protrudes and compresses the tactile fibers and proprioceptive fibers, symptoms such as numbness in the extremities such as numbness in the legs and feet will occur. Generally, it is necessary to surgically peel off the protruding nucleus pulposus of the disc, so as to improve the symptoms, and the majority of the patients can alleviate the symptoms, and the prognosis is good.
Most of the patients can get relief from the symptoms and the prognosis is good. You need to go to the hospital as soon as possible for treatment of numbness of limbs after lumbar disc herniation, and prolonged untreated may lead to aggravation of the symptoms, which may lead to paralysis of the lower limbs in serious cases.
