Untreated numbness in the lower back and legs usually does not heal on its own. If the patient can actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, leg numbness symptoms can be gradually recovered. Numbness caused by lumbar herniation is mainly treated with medication and surgery.
Numbness in the legs of patients with lumbar disc herniation is usually caused by the compression and stimulation of the local nerve roots. Generally speaking, by applying muscle relaxing drugs such as epirubicin hydrochloride and chlorzoxazone, and by applying nutritive drugs such as B vitamins and methylcobalamin, the damaged nerves can be restored. Combined with rehabilitation exercises, leg numbness can be improved to a certain extent.
