What to do if the fiber ring ruptures

The fibrous ring is a structure of the intervertebral disc, and the nucleus pulposus may protrude after the rupture of the fibrous ring, which may cause compression of the surrounding nerve roots and cause cervical spondylosis or lumbar disc herniation. After the rupture of the fibrous ring, the local magnetic resonance examination will be improved in time to determine the degree of disc protrusion. If the disc protrusion is not very obvious, no special treatment is needed, and it is enough to pay attention to the usual habits of life, such as avoiding long-term prolonged standing and sitting, repeated bending, straining and heavy physical labor. Avoid prolonged fixed inactivity of the neck, such as playing with cell phones and computers for a long time, working at a desk, etc. If the nucleus pulposus protrudes significantly after the rupture of the fibrous ring, causing low back and leg pain or neck and shoulder pain, it can be treated with painkillers, such as lofen-tiene extended-release tablets, and can also be combined with physical therapy such as traction. In severe cases of rupture of the annulus fibrosus leading to obvious protrusion of the nucleus pulposus, surgical treatment should be considered if necessary.
