Lumbar muscle strain can be judged by self-testing based on the pain characteristics, but the results of self-testing may not be 100% accurate, so self-testing is not recommended.
The main symptom of lumbar muscle strain is lumbar or lumbosacral distension, pain, pain recurrence, can change with climate change, but also with the degree of exertion. It generally manifests itself as aggravated by exertion, aggravated by bending and lumbar activities, and alleviated by rest. Lumbar activities are usually not significantly limited, usually not accompanied by obvious leg numbness and other lower extremity symptoms.
The symptoms of lumbar muscle strain are similar to those of lumbar degenerative diseases such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spondylolisthesis, so it is not recommended to determine the cause of the disease at home. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and determination by a professional physician.
Once you experience any of the above discomforts, you should go to the hospital in a timely manner, and the doctor will determine the cause of the disease and make a diagnosis based on the examination results, and then provide targeted treatment.
