First, backache is also the most common symptom.
The second kind, sciatica, is pain along the sciatic nerve and radiation pain.
Third, the pain in the groin or the anteromedial thigh is generally caused by high lumbar disc herniation and 234 lumbar disc herniation.
The fourth is intermittent claudication, which is often considered as a symptom of aggravated lumbar disc herniation, and even a part of it is a symptom formed after spinal stenosis.
Fifth, cauda equina syndrome, this time manifested as central lumbar disc herniation, when there is a huge protrusion, it will compress the cauda equina nerve below the nearby plane, and there will be corresponding cauda equina nerve symptoms, such as perineal numbness, constipation, dysuria and so on.
Sixth, the other is that the patient will feel cold in the affected limb, pain in the coccyx, and even edema in the calf.
2 lumbar disc herniation exercise method How to exercise lumbar disc herniation, the principle of lumbar disc herniation exercise is to strengthen the exercise of lumbar muscles. There are five specific methods:
The first is single bridge and double bridge;
The second is Yin Fei, a classic self-rehabilitation training for patients with lumbar disc herniation;
The third is to lift your legs alternately on your back;
The fourth is the popular flat bracket, which is relatively safe and easy to use, but it needs long-term persistence, otherwise the average person will go up in half a minute and come down in one minute; The fifth point is crossing, which is a bit like yoga airplane movements.
In addition, erector spinae's training should also be strengthened. Erector spinae is very important for the rehabilitation of lumbar disc herniation. If erector spinae is activated, the stability of lumbar spine will be improved to a higher level, and the tension caused by superficial muscle compensation will be relieved. Finally, lumbar disc herniation, no matter which method is used for training, should be adhered to for a long time. This is a persistent problem. It is impossible to fish for three days and dry the net for two days.
3 How to treat lumbar disc herniation? The first is conservative treatment, which was first adopted and the clinical effect is very good.
The first point, including general treatment, is that once you have lumbar disc herniation, when it attacks, you must first stay in bed absolutely. Stay in bed for three weeks. After three weeks, you can get up with your waistline. Don't bend over to pick up things for three months.
Second, continuous traction. Continuous traction is mainly to enlarge intervertebral space, reduce intervertebral disc abnormality and enlarge intervertebral foramen.
The third point is physical therapy, massage and massage, which is basically to relieve muscle spasm and then further reduce the pressure on the intervertebral disc.
Fourth, it is closed in the tray.
The fifth is the chemical dissolution of nucleus pulposus.
If conservative treatment is ineffective, or symptoms worsen during treatment, surgical treatment should be considered. At present, there are two ways of surgical treatment, one is traditional surgical treatment, and the other is minimally invasive treatment. As for what kind of treatment can be used, it is up to the surgeon to decide. However, no matter which treatment method is adopted, as long as the indications are selected correctly and the doctors' level is high enough, they will basically receive good treatment results.
4 what should I pay attention to in lumbar disc herniation? In fact, patients with lumbar disc herniation need to pay attention to many things in their lives, which are as follows:
First of all, keep the correct sitting posture. As we said, we should sit up straight when we walk. Don't be askew, let alone sedentary.
Second, we should properly strengthen the training of back muscles. After the strength of the back muscles goes up, the lumbar spine will be stable, and then the load on the intervertebral disc will be reduced. The actions you can usually do are single bridge, double bridge and swallow.
Third, it is best to lie on a hard bed when sleeping. When lying in bed, you can add a thin pad at the waist and a soft pillow under the knee joint. The purpose is to keep the knee joint and hip joint flexed to a certain extent, so that the muscles of the waist can be fully relaxed.
Fourth, it is best to wear a waistline. The function of the waist line is to brake and protect the waist, so that the range of motion of the lumbar spine is limited to a certain extent, which is conducive to consolidating and treating lumbar disc herniation.
Last but not least, in real life, patients with lumbar disc herniation must maintain a correct posture and try not to increase the load on the lumbar spine, otherwise it will easily lead to the recurrence of lumbar disc herniation and the aggravation of symptoms.
