I fell and got a ct that showed a herniated disc in my lumbar spine, what should I do?

Lumbar disc herniation is the degenerative changes of lumbar discs, generally has nothing to do with trauma. A fall and ct shows that the lumbar disc has herniated, and the lumbar disc has changed before the trauma. Commonly used treatment methods include general treatment, physical therapy, drug treatment and surgery. 1. General treatment: strict bed rest, lumbar protection, reasonable diet. 2. Physiotherapy: Acupuncture and massage can promote local blood circulation and relieve symptoms. Pelvic traction is also a common treatment method. 3. Drug therapy: when accompanied by pain, non-steroidal analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium can be used; when accompanied by neuroedema, dehydrating agents such as mannitol can be used; when accompanied by muscle tension and spasm, muscle relaxants such as chlorzoxazone can be used; short-term use of glucocorticosteroids such as dexamethasone can be used to fight inflammation and swelling and alleviate the symptoms. 4. Surgery: If the symptoms are serious and the cauda equina nerve is compressed, you can choose surgical treatment such as nucleus pulposus removal. If you fall and do ct to show that the lumbar disc is herniated, you should improve the examination, exclude other original conditions such as fracture, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor. The above drugs should be used reasonably under the guidance of a doctor to avoid self-medication.
