What are the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation?
Symptoms of lumbar disc herniation: 1. Patients with low back and leg pain have obvious pain after strenuous work, exercise, sprain and contusion, and the reasons are unknown. After a long period of pain, the pain gradually aggravated, mostly persistent dull pain. At first, the range of pain is relatively wide, and it will gradually concentrate below the waist, and the pain will radiate to the legs. Some simple activities may aggravate the pain, and the pain will be obviously relieved when the patient stays in bed. The patient has tenderness point, percussion pain and radiation pain in the waist, muscle spasm may occur in the waist, and the function and range of motion of the lumbar spine are limited to some extent. In severe cases, lumbar scoliosis and low shoulders may also occur. 2. Leg pain usually occurs after low back pain. Many patients will have leg pain after a period of low back pain. Many patients mistakenly think that it is simple leg pain, but in fact it is caused by lumbar disc herniation pressing the corresponding nerves. Some patients have difficulty walking because of unbearable pain. The pain feels different. The daily life of severe patients will be greatly hindered, and the pain will radiate to the calf, even the instep and toes. 3. Patients with numbness of lower limbs generally feel numbness of lower limbs, chills in legs and toes, and sometimes a burning sensation. The former generally has lower limb pain, while the latter generally appears at night. 4. Muscle Relaxation With the aggravation of lumbar disc herniation, muscle strength will be weakened, which is manifested as muscle relaxation and instability of lower limbs or feet, which seriously affects patients' walking ability and hinders them from standing and walking. 5. Many patients will have lumbar scoliosis, tilt to one side and limp severely. The longer you walk, the more serious your lameness will be, and it will be relieved after rest. The main cause of this phenomenon is lumbar spinal stenosis.

Symptoms of lumbar spondylosis are usually seen in hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum or congenital spinal stenosis. When the trunk is stretched backwards, it will pull the spinal cord and nerves backwards, which will fold the posterior ligamentum flavum and produce the spinal cord, forcing the nerves to be compressed and causing pain.

If the above symptoms appear in daily life, it is suggested that patients can take local massage, physical therapy, hot compress, massage, acupuncture and other methods. And take some drugs that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dredge meridians, dispel wind and cold, and nourish nerves, such as Peng's Yaotukang. It is also very helpful for the recovery of the disease. In addition, patients should adjust their diet structure, eat more nutritious, light and digestible high-protein and high-calcium foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement the required nutrition. However, patients can also take proper physical exercise to enhance their resistance and immunity and build up their physique. However, don't exercise excessively, which may cause physical injury. Regular life, going to bed early and getting up early, paying more attention to rest and ensuring adequate sleep are very beneficial to the recovery of the disease. Do not eat cold, spicy and greasy food, quit smoking and drinking, and drink plenty of water.
