One of the misconceptions: back and leg pain is not considered a disease According to statistics, about 95% of people have experienced back and leg pain in their lifetime. The diseases that cause low back pain can involve almost all systems of the body. Some of the primary diseases of low back and leg pain disappear when they are cured, and some of them are not cured by themselves. Some patients therefore believe that low back pain is not a disease. In fact, low back and leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation is not only considered a disease, but also must be given great attention. Because this disease can not only cause back and leg pain, but also cause lower limbs numbness, cold, weakness, and even paralysis and urinary disorders, seriously affecting the quality of life. The second misconception: lumbar leg pain can not be cured The characteristics of lumbar disc herniation is easy to recur, especially for those with neurological dysfunction, the repair process is longer. Therefore, some patients and even some non-professional doctors think that lumbar disc herniation is not curable. In fact, the overall effect of lumbar disc herniation treatment is very good, with an excellent rate of about 95%. The so-called cure is not good for two reasons: one is the choice of improper method, the second is not adhere to the treatment. Some patients go to where they hear there is a new treatment, but they can’t stick to it anywhere, and end up running a lot of places with unsatisfactory results. The third misconception: superstition in a certain method There are two types of treatment for lumbar disc herniation, surgical and non-surgical. The latter has traction, massage, internal and external medication, percutaneous cut and suck, collagenase lysis, etc. It should be said that which method can also cure some patients, but which method can not cure all patients, and even in some cases, certain therapies are contraindicated. Therefore, the correct attitude is to choose the specific treatment method suitable for each patient according to clinical symptoms, signs, disease duration, and imaging examination, and not to exaggerate or superstitiously believe in a certain treatment, nor to subjectively resist a certain treatment. Myth No. 4: Misconceptions about surgery Most patients with lumbar disc herniation can be relieved or cured by non-surgical treatment, but some patients still need surgery. There are two diametrically opposed misconceptions about surgery: one is blind surgery and the other is refusal of surgery. The former believes that only surgery can eradicate lumbar disc herniation, and thus does not choose to operate as long as it is a lumbar disc herniation and as long as the patient agrees. This adds to the unnecessary economic burden of the patient on the one hand, and increases the chance of “lumbar spine surgery failure syndrome” on the other. In fact, the indications for surgery for lumbar disc herniation are very strict, and surgery is not the first choice for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. The latter amplifies the negative effects of surgery, such as nerve damage, and believes that surgery must not be done, but only conservative treatment. It should be said that some patients with surgical indications can have their main symptoms relieved after conservative treatment, but there are always some symptoms left behind that are difficult to improve, while most patients with surgical indications cannot be replaced by any conservative therapy and must receive surgical treatment, and the sooner the better, otherwise, the loss of neurological function may become permanent, therefore, surgery and conservative issues should be treated discriminately, and neither surgery should be easily, nor It should not be conservative.
