Leg pain caused by a herniated lumbar disc compressing the nerve root can be treated with medication and surgery as well as nursing care. 1. Medication: Lumbar herniation compresses the nerves, thus causing edema of the nerve roots and deterioration of the nerve conduction, which leads to pain in the leg muscles innervated by the nerves. Patients can take oral ibuprofen, celecoxib and other drugs under the guidance of the doctor. 2. Surgery: If the symptoms of leg pain are not relieved through medication or there is no effect, patients can undergo minimally invasive herniated disc removal surgery in order to relieve the pressure on the nerve root and relieve the pain. 3. Nursing treatment: patients are recommended to take more bed rest in daily life, mainly braking, limiting the movement of lumbar vertebrae, traction, physiotherapy and other methods of treatment can also be used. Usually pay more attention to keep warm, avoid cold, avoid repeated bending activities. Leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation compressing the nerve root is recommended to determine the treatment plan under the guidance of a physician to avoid blindly using drugs.
