The difference between suprapopliteal neuritis and lumbar disc herniation mainly lies in the different symptoms, causes, and treatment measures. 1. Symptoms: Both epiphyseal neuritis and lumbar disc herniation will have the symptoms of lumbar pain and limitation of lower limb movement. However, the pain produced by suprapatellar neuritis is usually not over the knee. On the other hand, lumbar disc herniation can lead to sciatica, which in turn leads to radiating pain. When the disease flares up, some patients may even experience pain in the calf and the back of the foot. 2. Etiology: gluteal epiphyseal neuritis is mainly caused by cold, followed by immune system diseases, external impact, etc. may also induce this disease. The causes of lumbar disc herniation include long-term stooping labor, pregnancy, genetic factors, inflammatory stimuli and so on. 3. Treatment: The treatment of gluteal epithelial neuritis is mainly based on anti-infective treatment, and common medications include ibuprofen, nimesulide, etc. Secondly, it can also be combined with medications such as methylcobalamin, vitamin B1, etc., to promote the recovery of the nerves. In contrast, although lumbar disc herniation also requires the use of drugs to reduce inflammation and analgesia. However, if the condition is serious and conservative treatment is not effective, surgery should be considered. Common types of surgery include spinal endoscopic nucleus pulposus removal and hemilaminectomy. Although there are many differences between the two diseases, both will cause problems to the patient’s life, so it is necessary to seek medical treatment as soon as possible and according to the doctor’s instructions.
