Recurrence of lumbar disc herniation is a recurrence of a herniated disc after months to years of surgical treatment of the original herniated area, and is usually referred to as a simple nucleus pulposus removal surgery (including minimally invasive removal and open fusion) rather than a fixed fusion surgery. If the nucleus pulposus is removed and fixed fusion surgery is performed, there will be no recurrence, but the fixed fusion brings about the loss of movement of the fixed motor unit and the increase of stress during the movement of the adjacent motor unit, so if one motor unit is fixed, you may not feel anything, but if more motor units are fixed, you will feel some stiffness in your back. Then why does it recur? First of all, myeloablative surgery only removes the herniated nucleus that is compressing the nerve, but not all the nucleus, so as long as there is a nucleus, there is a possibility of recurrence. In addition, although patients generally do not feel back and leg pain after nucleus pulposus removal, the disc does not become a normal disc, but is still a pathological or subhealthy state of the disc, so we recommend that you take care of and protect your disc, if you do not pay attention to living habits, work style, reasonable exercise, etc., it may protrude again. If the strength of the lumbar back muscles is not strengthened, there is a possibility that the remaining nucleus pulposus may protrude again, and the fibrous ring and cartilage end plate may be torn and avulsed, thus compressing the nerve and causing the recurrence of lumbar pain. How to prevent recurrence? The above has been said why the lumbar disc herniation will recur, then should be targeted to avoid the emergence of factors that cause recurrence, first of all, should pay attention from the awareness, and then from the action should obey their own awareness, do not do things that are not good for the intervertebral disc, do more things that are good for the intervertebral disc, so that you can avoid the recurrence of lumbar disc herniation to the greatest extent. Specific attention should be paid to the following aspects: 1, do not long-term a posture, especially long sitting on the lumbar spine is the worst, a posture best not more than half an hour. 2, in the work of the waist is best not to exert excessive force, in lifting or picking up heavy objects, it is best not to pick up or lift it with the strength of the waist, but first squat, and then support the body with the strength of the legs. 3, lumbar muscle exercise, physical therapy, self-massage, etc. Myth: Please don’t not do the surgery just because of the possibility of recurrence, because if you don’t do the surgery, the long-term pressure on the nerve will cause a lot of trouble, and it may be too late to do it again because of the sudden aggravation. In other words, “if you don’t have the surgery, the risk of paralysis will always be with you”. The chance of recurrence is very low, only about 3%, even if recurrence can be solved by surgery again, note: do not choke on it, this is a common language.
