How to treat herniated lumbar vertebrae that can’t straighten their legs

A herniated lumbar disc often compresses the nerves causing the leg to be unable to straighten. In this case, you should seek medical attention to detect the herniated area through x-ray film and CT, and cooperate with conservative treatment and surgery to alleviate the treatment. Meloxicam and diclofenac sodium can be taken together. 1. Conservative treatment: The patient can lie on a hard bed, and cooperate with massage, massage, acupuncture and pulling treatment to relieve the pressure on the intervertebral disc and promote recovery. If the pain is intolerable, Meloxicam and diclofenac sodium can be taken to relieve the pain, and the medication should be prescribed by the doctor. The above drugs may cause chest tightness, nausea, headache, edema and other adverse reactions. 2. Surgery: If the effect of conservative treatment is poor, it can be treated by minimally invasive intervertebral foramenoscopy or open surgery according to the results of imaging examination. In case of lumbar disc herniation accompanied by leg pain and leg extension problems, one should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of the disease and then treat accordingly.
