It is possible for a patient with a herniated lumbar disc to experience renewed pain after a closed injection.
The closed injection is usually only for acute pain patients, can play a temporary role in pain relief, but after the effect of the drug wore off, it may recur again.
Lumbar disc herniation is an irreversible disease, the main reason is that the herniated nucleus pulposus presses on the nerve root, resulting in low back and leg pain, and once herniated, it is impossible to repair it. Any conservative treatment can only improve the symptoms to a certain extent, but it cannot cure lumbar disc herniation fundamentally. For the acute stage of pain, temporary pain relief can be achieved through closure to improve clinical symptoms.
Herniated lumbar discs need systematic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Conservative treatment can be given first, with acupuncture, traction, and medication, such as methylcobalamin capsules and diosmin tablets, and surgery can be given if the conservative treatment is ineffective.
