Can a herniated lumbar disc get better with medication?

Lumbar disc herniation medication can help patients to relieve symptoms and achieve the purpose of improvement, but can not achieve the purpose of the root cause. Lumbar disc herniation is generally due to lumbar degeneration caused by the nucleus pulposus of the lumbar intervertebral disc protruding and compressing the nerve root, causing the patient to experience lumbar pain, lower limb pain, numbness, limited mobility and other symptoms. Patients can use anti-inflammatory pain relieving drugs such as celecoxib and neurotrophic drugs such as methylcobalamin to help patients relieve symptoms and achieve the goal of improvement. The treatment of lumbar disc herniation requires comprehensive treatment, including general treatment such as bed rest and wearing a waist cuff, physical therapy such as lumbar traction and heat application, anti-inflammatory and pain relieving drugs, neurotrophic drugs, etc. Surgery can be considered when the above treatments are ineffective or when the symptoms worsen. Herniated lumbar intervertebral discs cannot be cured or completely improved by medication alone, so it is recommended that patients should seek timely and complete relevant examinations and then undergo further treatment. The use of drugs should be in accordance with medical advice.
