Lumbar disc herniation is mainly due to the degeneration of various parts of lumbar disc, especially the nucleus pulposus. Under the action of external factors, the annulus fibrosus of intervertebral disc ruptures, and the nucleus pulposus protrudes from the rupture or from the back or spinal canal, which leads to the stimulation or compression of the adjacent spinal nerve roots, resulting in a series of clinical symptoms such as lumbar pain, numbness and pain of one or both lower limbs. Patients can generally take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, which can relieve pain and other discomfort. You can also take nutritional nerve drugs, such as mecobalamin and vitamin B, to protect nerve tissue. In addition to drug treatment, traction, massage, massage, physical therapy and other treatment methods can be selected according to the situation. If the symptoms are not relieved after conservative treatment and the condition is aggravated, surgery can also be performed.
It is suggested that patients choose a hard bed at rest and stay in bed absolutely when they have an acute attack, so as to avoid fatigue aggravating their condition.
