And what should I pay attention to in my life? The diagnosis should be a clear herniated disc in lumbar 5 sacral 1. This disease is a common disease, the initial onset, if only the symptoms of pain and numbness, no muscle strength loss and urinary and bowel dysfunction, you can temporarily choose to conservative treatment, such as acupuncture, physical therapy, nerve nutrition, and even small doses of short-term application of hormone therapy, combined with adequate bed rest, the symptoms can generally be significantly relieved within a few weeks. If the MRI shows heavy nerve compression, massage and orthopedic treatment are not recommended, as they may aggravate the nerve damage. If conservative treatment is ineffective or if symptoms worsen, recurrent attacks can be treated by removing the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc of the segment. After daily life, pay attention not to engage in heavy physical labor, change bad habits, such as playing mahjong, operating a computer for a long time, watching TV, etc. The second is to pay attention to the cold, cold is also one of the important triggers. Low back muscle exercise is possible, through the lumbar back muscle exercise can reduce the lumbar spine to bear the force of about 30%, can be said to wear the muscle “waist circumference”, is beneficial to your disease, but in the acute period, there is still pain is not recommended to exercise, to wait for the pain disappeared after 2-3 weeks can gradually start to exercise the lumbar back muscle. Only surgical treatment will have an immediate effect. Conservative treatment including acupuncture, physiotherapy and traction have several courses of treatment to be carried out before there is a significant improvement, while a combination of multiple conservative treatment methods is feasible. Don’t be anxious, there will be improvement after 1-2 courses of treatment. If the symptoms are aggravated or new symptoms appear during the treatment process, communicate with the treating physician in time to adjust the treatment.
