What are the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation?

Lumbar disc herniation is mostly caused by lumbar trauma and chronic strain, which is manifested as low back pain, aggravated during activities, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as numbness and pain in lower limbs. Hang up an orthopedic department in time and do an X-ray examination of the lumbar spine. Lumbar traction, massage and acupuncture can be used for treatment. It can also be treated with local lumbar support, prescription, medicine, plaster and other drugs. Secondly, exercise properly, avoid heavy physical activity and have a proper rest.

First, low back and leg pain:

Most patients with lumbar disc herniation have a history of trauma, cold or overwork. At the onset, patients often show different degrees of waist pain, ranging from dull pain to soreness. Patients with severe lumbar disc herniation are often difficult to turn over in bed. Low back pain gradually eased or subsided after bed rest. After a few days or weeks, I gradually feel radiation pain in one lower limb, and my low back pain is aggravated when I stand, walk, cough, sneeze and urinate forcibly.

Second, low back pain:

This kind of pain occurs before or at the same time as leg pain. The pain is mainly in the lower waist or lumbosacral region. The pain is mainly caused by the stimulation of the outer layer of fibrous ring and sinus nerve fibers of posterior longitudinal ligament after lumbar disc herniation. The pain of lumbar disc herniation is deep and difficult to locate, generally dull pain, tingling or radiation pain.

Third, simple lower limb pain:

What are the common symptoms of lumbar disc herniation? Simple lower limb pain and discomfort is rare in lumbar diseases, but it can still be used as the first symptom in some chronic degenerative lumbar diseases. Some middle-aged and elderly patients with lumbar disc herniation can come to see a doctor because of numbness, pain or stagnation of their lower limbs. If the cause is only found in the lower limbs, it is often fruitless, resulting in misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation.

Four, muscle paralysis:

What are the typical clinical symptoms of lumbar disc herniation? Lumbar disc herniation can cause nerve paralysis or muscle paralysis for a long time, and some can also cause intermittent claudication, scoliosis and scoliosis. These phenomena can easily bring a lot of inconvenience to patients with lumbar disc herniation, and some even lose their motor ability.

Five, spinal movement is limited:

When the waist is normal, its range of motion is 900 degrees forward and 300 degrees backward; The left and right lateral flexion is 200-300 respectively; Turn left and right by 300 each. When the lumbar intervertebral disc protrudes and the spine flexes, the anterior part of the intervertebral disc is squeezed, the posterior space is widened, and the nucleus pulposus moves backward, which increases the tension of the protrusion. At the same time, the nucleus pulposus moves up and pulls the nerve roots, causing pain. When the waist is stretched back, the protrusion is also enlarged, and the folds of ligamentum flavum protrude forward, so that the nerve roots are squeezed back and forth to produce pain, so the pain limits the activity of the spine.

Six, intermittent claudication:

Intermittent claudication means that patients feel the onset or aggravation of low back pain with the increase of distance when walking, and are forced to stop, squat and rest before walking. Intermittent rupture is caused by spinal canal or nerve root canal stenosis. When walking, the congestion of nerve root aggravates the factory stenosis or hinders the blood supply of kidney root, which can cause spinal canal stenosis or lateral recess or nerve root canal stenosis.
