Acute lumbar disc herniation can lead to muscle pain around the hip joint, and there are generally two situations.
1. During the acute period of lumbar disc herniation, the lumbar region and lower limbs will show radiating pain. Due to the pain, the patient will change the posture to relieve the pain, which may lead to the aggravation of the muscle stress around the hip joint, causing pain and discomfort or muscle strain and other conditions.
2. A herniated disc can irritate or compress the nerve root, which may lead to impaired blood circulation and blood oxygen supply to the myofascia and soft tissues around the hip joint, causing excessive friction in the hip joint leading to inflammation and pain.
If lumbar disc herniation acutely causes pain in the muscles around the hip joint, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time.
