Back and leg pain, is the modern city white-collar workers are used to the old problem. Sitting in front of the computer for too long, the body always maintain the same posture, the lack of exercise, naturally easy to make muscle stiffness strain, such a reason seems to understand everyone. In order to stretch the waist and legs, some people in the pain is difficult to endure, simply to play badminton, shuttlecock, but did not expect the pain increased, to the hospital doctor’s diagnosis is: lumbar disc protrusion, not suitable for such sports! According to physiological medical tips: the intervertebral disc is a fibrocartilage disc between the upper and lower vertebrae of the spine, consisting of cartilage plate, fibrous ring, nucleus pulposus three parts. In young people in their twenties, the water in the intervertebral disc has begun to decrease and gradually degenerate. As we age, once the annulus fibrosus is cracked, pain-causing substances will be released. If you carry and move heavy things at this time, it is easy to cause the rupture of the annulus fibrosus, and the nucleus pulposus will protrude through the rupture and compress the nerves, which will lead to numbness and even incontinence of the lower limbs. In addition, due to the reduction of intervertebral disc water, the normal relationship between the related small joints and ligaments is also changed, causing inflammation of small joints and producing back pain. Sudden onset of pain due to acute activity The clinical symptoms of lumbar disc herniation are severe lower back pain and sciatica on one side. Some people start with lumbar pain only, and then gradually one side of the lower limb becomes numb; some people have lower limb pain and numbness first, and then lumbar pain occurs. The pain often radiates to the buttocks, thighs, outer calves and soles of the feet. Coughing, sneezing, and straining during bowel movement can aggravate the pain and leg numbness, and the pain is also aggravated when the lower back is moved. Resting in bed with the knees bent often reduces the pain. Individuals with severe pain are forced to adopt a particular bed position to relieve the pain. The common causes of lumbar disc herniation are postural strain injury of the lumbar spine, excessive loading of the vertebral body, such as heavy physical labor and weightlifting, which causes early degeneration of the lumbar disc due to excessive loading; long-term bending workers, when carrying and extracting heavy objects, which greatly increases the pressure in the intervertebral disc and easily causes rupture of the fibrous ring; long-term vibration is another important cause of disc herniation, such as automobile and tractor drivers; in addition In addition, there are some causes of disc herniation, such as acute trauma that causes the muscles of the low back to lose protection, and the sharp activity of the low back may also prompt the sudden appearance of pain. All sports are prohibited during the attack period Whether or not a patient suffering from lumbar disc herniation can play sports depends on the condition. The purpose of sports is to prevent the onset and worsening of lumbar disc herniation, not to cure the disease. As long as there are symptoms of an attack, all sports must be banned and treated in a hospital. If the symptoms improve and the physical condition is more stable, you can participate in sports appropriately, but slowly and with proper control of the amount of activity, in a gradual manner. Do not exercise suddenly and strenuously, and choose the sports program. In the initial stage, you should choose sports with relatively less lumbar activity and load, and take protective measures such as wearing a wide belt or waist circumference when exercising. Swimming, backward walking, Bubas ball sports are more suitable for patients with lumbar disc herniation, but should pay attention to the use of correct posture, and adequate warm-up preparatory activities before exercise, exercise time should not be too long, exercise in a certain time interval, in order to avoid excessive fatigue of the waist. Older people, can go to the hospital rehabilitation department to learn waist gymnastics is also a good choice. The shuttlecock, soccer, weightlifting and yoga waist and leg movements are prone to joint dislocation and should be (absolutely) avoided.
