Lumbar protrusion generally refers to lumbar disc herniation. Leg numbness caused by lumbar disc herniation indicates that the condition is more serious and the treatment is more difficult and cannot be completely cured, but the clinical symptoms can be relieved with active and effective treatment.
Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation compresses the nerves, and localized pain, soreness and swelling will occur in the early stage. If the local nerve is compressed by the intervertebral disc for a long time or the lumbar disc herniation recurs frequently, the symptoms of leg numbness will appear. Leg numbness caused by lumbar disc herniation is difficult to treat and usually cannot be cured completely. However, as long as you cooperate with a professional doctor for standardized treatment, you can effectively relieve the symptoms.
If the lumbar disc herniation compresses the nerves, it is recommended to cooperate with professional doctors for treatment as soon as possible to relieve the symptoms of nerve compression and avoid the condition of lumbar disc herniation from worsening. Otherwise, once the lumbar disc herniation causes leg numbness, the treatment will be more difficult.
