What is the acute attack of lumbar disc herniation

The acute attack of lumbar disc herniation refers to the sudden appearance of nerve friction and compression when the herniated disc is active, causing sudden edema of the nerve and significant lumbar pain and persistent radiating pain in the hip and leg. After this symptom occurs, you should first rest in bed to avoid aggravating the condition with strenuous activities of the lower back and avoid aggravating the symptoms caused by the pressure and stimulation of the nerve. When resting in bed, you can apply heat to the lumbar area to promote blood circulation, release muscle spasm, and promote the decreasing of nerve edema, which is very helpful to reduce the symptoms of acute disc herniation. Timely application of dehydrating drugs, nerve-nourishing drugs and additional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain, promote the decreasing edema, promote the recovery of the compressed nerve, and reduce the clinical symptoms caused by the acute attack of lumbar disc herniation. If necessary, lumbar traction and lumbar braking can be added to reduce the pressure on the nerve roots, which is very helpful for the relief of acute attack pain. If, after the above standard treatment, the patient’s acute symptoms are not relieved within a short period of time, he or she must go to a regular hospital in time to improve the MRI of the lumbar spine to clarify the cause and then choose a further reasonable treatment method so that the acute symptoms can be relieved in time and effectively.
