How to relieve leg pain from a herniated disk

Herniated lumbar disc leg pain can be relieved by bed rest, Chinese medicine, medication and surgery. 1. Bed rest: the human body lying down due to the role of gravity is no longer vertical down like upright, so it will reduce the pressure on the lumbar spine, thus relieving leg pain. 2. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Patients with lumbar disc herniation and leg pain can take TCM massage, acupuncture and moxibustion treatment to relieve leg pain. 3. Medication: patients with herniated disc and leg pain can take oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen extended-release capsules, celecoxib capsules) under the guidance of a doctor to relieve leg pain. 4. Surgery: Patients with herniated disc and leg pain can take surgical treatments, such as spinal endoscopic nucleus pulposus removal, to improve the lumbar intervertebral disc space, so as to relieve leg pain. Patients with lumbar disc herniation and leg pain should consult a doctor in time, improve the relevant examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and choose the appropriate treatment under the formal guidance of the doctor.
