Basic information] Male, 60 years old [Type of disease] Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation [Hospital] The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University [Date of consultation] May 2021 [Treatment plan] Medication (acetaminophen tablets, methylcobalamin tablets) + Physical therapy (acupuncture, pelvic traction therapy) [Treatment cycle] Hospitalization for 10 days, with regular follow-ups [Treatment effect] Improvement in condition, pain relief I. Initial consultation Patient, male, 60 years old, reported that after lifting heavy objects 2 days ago, he experienced radiating pain in the right lower limb, affecting the right buttock, the back of the right thigh, and the front of the right thigh, and that the pain worsened after activities, but was relieved when he was resting in bed. She took painkillers on her own (the name of the medicine is not known), and the pain was reduced, but recently it worsened again, and the effect of conservative treatment with painkillers was unsatisfactory, so she came to the clinic. Outpatient examination showed limited activity of the right lower extremity, bilateral lower extremity muscle weakness, mild depressed edema, and decreased sensation; right intervertebral foraminal compression test was positive; sciatica was present in supine belly test; MRI examination showed degenerative changes in the lumbar vertebrae; disc bulging and protruding in L1/2 and L3/4 and spinal stenosis at L3/4 level; and disc bulging and spinal stenosis at L2/3, L4/5, and L5/S1 and spinal stenosis at L4/5 level. L2/3, L4/5, L5/S1 disc bulge and L4/5 level spinal stenosis, so the initial diagnosis was lumbar disc herniation, and the patient was admitted to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. After the patient was admitted to the hospital, according to the patient’s condition, and after communicating with the patient and his family, it was decided to adopt conservative treatment considering the patient’s age and the recent onset of the disease. Firstly, oral acetaminophen tablets for analgesia and methylcobalamin tablets for nerve nourishment were given; together with acupuncture and moxibustion at kidney, large intestine, Taixi, Sanyinjiao, Kunlun and other acupoints, as well as pelvic traction, to increase the width of the intervertebral space, alleviate the nerve stimulation, and improve the uncomfortable symptoms; and secondly, the time of bed rest could be increased appropriately during the period of pain in order to reduce the pressure of lumbar discs, which was helpful to improve the symptoms of local pain and edema. After 10 days of systematic treatment, the patient reported that the pain in the right lower limb and the right buttock was reduced, and there was no obvious aggravation of pain after a walk, and the edema of both lower limbs disappeared, which indicated that the treatment program was effective, and the patient was agreed to be discharged from the hospital. The patient followed the doctor’s instructions for regular follow-up, and the results of follow-up were not abnormal, and there were no signs of aggravation of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, so the conservative treatment had a good effect. After the treatment, the patient’s pain was reduced, and the smile on his face became more obvious, and I was also happy for the patient’s improvement. I also instructed the patient to return to the outpatient clinic for follow-up every three months after discharge, and if the results of the first three examinations were not abnormal, to have a follow-up once again at an interval of half a year; and to continue to take acetaminophen tablets and methylcobalamin tablets; diet can be properly supplemented with calcium and high quality proteins, and you can eat more milk, eggs, shrimp and other foods; and in addition to emphasize with the patient that in his daily life, he should not carry heavy objects, and he should avoid working with heavy loads, In addition, we emphasized that patients should not carry heavy objects in their daily life, and should avoid heavy work, long-distance trekking, etc., and need to increase the rest time, so as not to aggravate the lumbar spine lesions and increase the difficulty of treatment. V. Personal Insights For patients with lumbar disc herniation, the simple use of pain medication cannot be cured, and may even lead to aggravation of the condition. For example, the patient in this article, in the presence of lumbar pain symptoms, did not choose to go directly to the hospital, but to take pain medication on his own, which ultimately led to an aggravation of the condition and the ineffectiveness of the pain medication. Therefore, if there is low back pain, should be timely under the guidance of a doctor for treatment, generally can be used oral medication, acupuncture, massage, traction and other methods of treatment, the effect is better, in addition, daily rest and proper maintenance, but also on the lumbar intervertebral discs have an important role, but at the same time need to pay attention to the conservative treatment can only alleviate the symptoms of discomfort, there is no cure, so the follow-up follow-up is also very important! Therefore, follow-up visits are also very important.
