Can you work after your lumbar protrusion symptoms have subsided?

Lumbar protrusion generally refers to a herniated disc in the lumbar spine. After the symptoms are alleviated, simple tasks can be performed, but care should be taken to avoid inappropriate sitting postures and heavy work. Lumbar protrusion is caused by the herniated disc compressing the nerves, resulting in back pain and leg numbness. If the symptoms of lumbar protrusion are significantly reduced after recuperation, you can start simple work. However, you should not do heavy work, or it will cause recurrent episodes of lumbar disc herniation. Especially bending over to hold objects, bending over to carry heavy objects, etc., will have a serious impact on the lumbar disc herniation and cause further deterioration. After recovering from lumbar disc herniation, you still need to pay attention to rest. Usually also need to pay attention to do not sit for a long time, appropriate exercise, which can prevent further deterioration of lumbar disc herniation. Patients with lumbar disc herniation should seek medical attention as soon as the discomfort symptoms appear.
