A herniated lumbar disc is an imaging concept and these five words do not represent a disease. It is a degenerative change that occurs with the extrusion of the disc by unhealthy posture, resulting in a breakage of the annulus fibrosus from which the nucleus pulposus protrudes, and some patients may not have any symptoms. The series of symptoms that appear after a lumbar disc herniation are due to the compression of the surrounding nerve roots! 1, The most common lumbar pain, which often appears in the early stage, may radiate to the lower limbs if not treated in time. 2, Some patients may not have lumbar abnormalities, but instead have pain and numbness in the buttocks, thighs, and calves. 3.The degree of these symptoms needs to be differentiated. Some patients are more severe and unbearable; some patients have mild pain at the beginning, which may be aggravated by coughing and sneezing. 4, Older patients (middle-aged and elderly), may be accompanied by spinal stenosis, and indirect claudication may occur at this time. 5. In patients with spinal cord compression, the symptoms are mainly in the lower extremities, and paralysis may even occur. Since the symptoms of lumbar synostosis depend on the nerves, is there much damage to the nerves from this compression? This damage depends on the patient’s condition. The vast majority of patients only have some degree of nerve irritation rather than damage (related to the length of time), but if the protrusion is severe and the nerve is compressed for a long time, it is indeed possible to cause permanent damage to the nerve, the cauda equina nerve being a typical example. Once the patient has urinary and fecal dysfunction, please take surgical measures and treat it in a timely manner. Only after the lumbar protrusion, you can know the taste of pain. In the past, you could lie down and not sit, and you could sit and not stand. Now, you can lie down and not stand, and you can stand and not sit. I hope you usually pay more attention to protecting your waist, to know that most patients with lumbar protrusion are, due to unhealthy posture and strain, conservative is indeed the first choice, but the surgery must be operated when the two do not have absolute advantages and disadvantages, mainly because of the difference in the scope of application.
