What medications are effective for herniated discs in the lumbar spine

Lumbar disc herniation with symptoms of nerve compression can be relieved by taking oral decongestants, pain relievers, and nutritive nerve medications. Lumbar disc herniation may cause a series of symptoms of nerve compression (mainly low back pain, leg pain, accompanied by numbness in the lower limbs) due to the compression of the herniation. Most of the symptoms can be relieved by conservative treatments. The main forms of conservative treatments can be oral decongestive medications such as Myzolene (to reduce the compression of edema), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief (celecoxib, etc.), and oral nerve-nutritional medications (Vitamin B12, methylcobalamin, etc.). These drugs can relieve symptoms to some extent, but the use of drugs should be under the guidance of a doctor.
