Herniated lumbar disc buttock pain may be due to nerve root compression caused by sciatica, according to the individual condition of the general treatment, drug therapy, physical therapy and surgical treatment methods for relief and treatment.
1. General treatment: patients with herniated lumbar disc causing buttock pain should take strict bed rest, avoid frequent bending and weight bearing, avoid sitting and standing for a long time, and wear a waist cushion when going down to the ground, so as to strengthen the stability of the lumbar vertebrae.
2. Drug therapy: oral ibuprofen, celecoxib and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be prescribed to relieve pain symptoms, but also can be prescribed to use methylcobalamin, gangliosides and other nutritive nerve drugs to relieve nerve compression symptoms.
3. Physiotherapy: Pelvic traction therapy can be carried out to help reduce the pressure on lumbar vertebrae and lumbar intervertebral discs, thus improving the symptoms of buttock pain caused by nerve compression, in addition to localized hot compresses, ultrashort wave and other physiotherapy, to promote local blood circulation and facilitate the absorption of inflammation.
4. Surgery: If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery can be chosen, including total laminectomy and nucleus pulposus removal, microscopic disc removal and artificial disc replacement.
Patients with lumbar disc herniation and buttock pain should go to the hospital in time, and under the guidance of the doctor, they should have standardized treatment in time to relieve the pain as soon as possible.
