What are the misconceptions about the treatment of back and leg pain

  There are many causes of low back pain, most of which have long duration, variable symptoms, easy to repeat, and many treatment methods. If there is a lack of knowledge, it is easy to enter the misunderstanding, not only spend more money, but also no improvement in the condition. In some cases, the treatment is delayed and the patient is left with no money. Pain doctors remind you of the following points: 1, some patients think that back and leg pain is very common, pain does not kill people, unwilling to do detailed examination, paste plaster, take a few tablets of medicine, resulting in a long time diagnosis is unknown, the treatment is not targeted. If you have a disease, you will not be able to change one trick, and only when you remember to go to a regular pain specialist, you will become a big disease.  2, the examination means mistaken for treatment measures, such as lumbar intervertebral disc herniation mainly manifested as sciatica, must take lumbar spine X-ray, CT, magnetic resonance or lumbar spinal canal imaging, etc., in order to make a clear diagnosis. Some of these tests are more expensive, but at best they are for diagnostic purposes only, not for treatment. Some patients or family members, however, think that the disease has not yet seen a lot of money to check, laboratory tests, rather than treatment, the hospital or doctor is very opinionated.  3.Eager to get immediate benefit, shallow. For example, patients with back and leg pain sometimes need to make once a week treatment, and need to treat more than 3-5 weeks to see results. Some patients have only done it once or twice, and when they don’t see the effect, they lose confidence and give up the treatment. If they turn to another hospital to try a new method, they may not be able to persist and end up halfway.  4.Neglect basic treatment and proper rest. Most of the back and leg pain is a disease of the motor system. The principle of treatment requires exercise, relaxation and rest, but some people think that not going to work is rest, so they sit all day watching TV, playing mahjong and playing cards, which is more tiring than going to work and increases the burden on the lumbar spine.  5, misled by advertising, effective and cure confused with the wrong choice. For example, some therapeutic instruments, through the electromagnetic or heat effect, can make the back and leg pain temporarily alleviated, indeed effective, but far from the standard of cure, as an adjunctive treatment measures are not bad. But once you stop using it, you will be back to your old ways.  6, superstition recipe secret formula. Modern medicine sums up the experience of previous generations, absorbing the essence of Chinese and foreign, and constantly exploring and researching to reach the top. And the exchange of information, instantly, there are very few prescriptions left on earth. The so-called pick from the trail not to the wilderness, how many generations of ancestors and grandchildren, or passed on to the master in the mountains, or prisoners seeking pardon, the death penalty to offer the formula, and so on, are largely fabricated, can not be trusted. It is best to go to a professional hospital for medical consultation.  7, after cure without protection, resulting in recurrence. In addition to tumors, deformities and other causes. Most of the back and leg pain occurs due to strain and injury, after recovery, attention must still be paid to prevent re-injury. If you fail to do this, the symptoms may recur or even worsen, and the previous work will be lost.
