The recent network buzzword “lying flat”. Lie flat people claim: let the outside world a hundred flowers bloom, our heart is always unperturbed. This cultural phenomenon is also a non-violent non-cooperation of some young people to life outside the mainstream path of overtime, promotion, earning money and buying a house. So, today we discuss whether lumbar disc herniation needs to lie flat. Lumbar disc herniation, the attack up when the lumbar pain, leg radiating pain, there are over the electricity-like numbness pain feeling, can not turn over, legs sometimes always feel cold. So let me share a few important suggestions: First of all, you need to take strict bed rest during the acute phase. Because at this time, you have a herniated disc, resulting in edema of the surrounding tissues, compression of the nerves in the intervertebral foramen, pain is very obvious, and movement is limited. Then, at this time, the pressure of the disc in a standing position is the standard 100, the pressure of the disc when lying down is only 25, lying on your side 75, while sitting is 140, bending is 150, lifting heavy objects is 220, bending and sitting lifting heavy objects is 275. the greater the pressure on the lumbar disc, the more severe the edema is and the more severe the compression symptoms are. Is it true that patients with lumbar discs should not sit if they can lie down and not stand if they can sit? This is true in the acute phase, but not in the recovery phase. There is a reason called “use into waste”, which simply means that the lumbar muscles will atrophy if they are not used all the time, and the support will decrease, which will also increase the pressure on the disc. Therefore, during the recovery period when the pain is gone, it is recommended to exercise the lumbar back muscles, which is why it is not recommended to use the lumbar girth during the recovery period.
