Whether the lumbar herniation can work or not depends on whether the symptoms of lumbar herniation are in the acute stage. If the pain in the lumbar region and the radiating pain or numbness in the lower limbs are more serious in the acute stage, this condition requires strict bed rest and cannot be worked. Because in the process of activity will certainly lead to increased irritation and extrusion between the herniated disc and the nerve root, resulting in increased local edema which is not conducive to recovery. In addition, after the acute symptoms of the lumbar region have significantly improved, it is possible to consider getting out of bed to stand, and it is necessary to wear a lumbar girth for effective protection of the lumbar region, and to gradually increase the amount, time and scope of activities in the process of getting out of bed, and gradually transition to normal work. However, avoid bending and lifting heavy objects at work, twisting the waist, sitting for a long time and squatting for a long time, otherwise it may lead to further aggravation of lumbar disc herniation.
