This is a very typical clinical manifestation of lumbar disc herniation. The questioner should have visited a hospital and had the results of an MRI and CT imaging of the lumbar spine. In this type of lumbar disc herniation, we need to give the patient lying down, braking the lumbar spine, and performing lumbar traction, supplemented by acupuncture and physiotherapy, etc. On top of that, we should also give the patient medications to reduce nerve root edema, including mannitol and sodium heptaerythroside in the acute stage; in the chronic stage, we can give oral medications such as Mizarin and Veritin to treat the symptoms. It should also be supplemented with pain-relieving drugs, including Nisong, Xilabao, Loxone, etc., and nerve-nourishing drugs, including rat nerve growth factor, adenosine cobalamin, methylcobalamin, etc., for symptomatic treatment. If non-surgical treatment is ineffective, and the symptoms continue to worsen, along with numbness and pain are significantly aggravated, and seriously affect normal life, it is necessary to go to the hospital and perform surgical treatment such as intervertebral foraminoscopy and nucleus pulposus removal as appropriate.
