How long does it take for a herniated lumbar 5 sacral 1 to return to normal?

Lumbar 5 sacral 1 herniation takes at least three months to return to normal. Lumbar disc herniation is caused by increased pressure on the lumbar spine due to lumbar trauma or sedentary lifestyle, rupture of the annulus fibrosus, and herniation of the nucleus pulposus compressing the nerves. The patient manifests as pain in the lumbar region with limited movement, and in severe cases, it may be accompanied by leg pain, leg numbness, and inability to walk. Because the herniated disc compresses the nerves and causes edema of the nerves, so if you want to relieve the pain, you need to wait for the edema of the nerves to subside gradually. In the meantime, you can apply the drugs of dehydration, swelling and nerve nourishment, such as methylcobalamin injection or sodium hepatic saponin, mannitol, etc. You can also take oral lumbar pain capsule to relieve the pain. The main thing is that you need to rest in bed for one month, avoid getting out of bed during this period, and after one month you can wear a girdle to go down to the ground, and most of the symptoms of herniated disc can be recovered through three months of recuperation. In addition, within three months of the lumbar disc herniation, patients avoid sitting and standing for a long time, avoid heavy physical labor, so as to be able to recover well.
