Hello, I'm glad to answer your question, the main symptoms of lumbar disc herniation are back pain and sleepy soreness, pain in the lower limbs, and in severe cases, numbness.

Although patients with lumbar disc herniation have obvious symptoms in the lower limbs, the root problem is still in the lumbar spine, so the treatment should start from the lumbar spine.

According to my more than ten years of experience in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, are from the lumbar spine to the thighs and calves, ankles, soles of the feet, step by step downward, at the beginning of the ankles and soles of the feet is not obvious, after treatment, there will be a foot appears to be swollen and painful, swelling and discomfort, etc., a lot of people feel that it is the symptoms aggravated, in fact, it is a good thing, indicating that the condition is lighter because the lumbar vertebrae is the root cause of the disease, the lower the more lighter.

I treated a patient with a herniated lumbar disc a few years ago, over seventy years old, nearly thirty years of herniated lumbar discs that had recurred several times, and went to his home because he was an acquaintance, and moved around with two branches because of the pain in his lower extremities. After three treatments, the pain in the lower limbs disappeared, but the tops of the feet were badly swollen, but after half a month of recovery, the swelling disappeared and all the symptoms disappeared.

Now a lot of treatment methods are treating the symptoms but not the root cause, painkillers, hormone drugs, creams, etc., can only relieve the condition, cover up the condition, and in the end, the roots of the disease more and more serious, is really a bit self-deceiving.

In fact, the treatment of disease always need to have a discharge port, only from the feet of the disease gas out, in order to solve the problem fundamentally.

It's like a big tree with withered branches, if you just spray water on the branches, you definitely can't save it, only by watering it thoroughly and fertilizing it at the roots, it can slowly recover.

That's why, if you understand a little bit about the recovery process of a herniated disc, you won't have to worry about it anymore.

It's not.

1, lumbar disc herniation is divided into acute and chronic phase.

In the acute stage, the nucleus pulposus is pressed to the outside of the fibrous ring, to the nerve root on the side, or to the cauda equina and sciatic nerve, resulting in low back pain, buttock pain, launching pain and numbness from the back of the thighs and calves to the feet, so in the acute stage, many friends are unable to turn over, walk, and self-care of life is seriously challenged. However, after the acute stage, the fluid flowing out of the nucleus pulposus dries, and it does not compress the nerves any more.

2, lumbar disc once herniated is not recoverable, that is, the protruding part can not return to the original position, what we can do is to make it no longer painful in the future. Most people are seldom born with lumbar herniation. The causes of lumbar disc herniation are, wrong body posture, wrong walking gait, joint jamming, imbalance of muscle strength and myofascial tension, overweight, and crooked pelvis (anterior tilt/posterior tilt/rotation). Therefore, to solve the fundamental problem, we must adjust the structure of the body, or next time, we may be the herniation of other positions.

3, the solution, starting from the walking posture, many people walk is the external eight, the outside of the foot, the outside of the calf and the outside of the thigh myofascia is very tense, friction between the joints, the muscles of the buttocks are flaccid and sagging, abdominal flaccidity, especially the buttocks on both sides of the depression, can not maintain the stability of the body posture. Correct walking posture, heel-first landing - the outside of the foot - the forefoot, fully landed, the toes to the knee, the knee to the pouch in front of the hip bone (anterior superior iliac spine), the three-point line.

Herniated lumbar disc legs and feet do not hurt so much, is the disease is almost over? Many patients with lumbar herniated discs will have this experience, although the pain is unbearable when they are sick, but the pain will be relieved after resting for a while, and even the same as normal people. Does this mean that the lumbar disc herniation is almost recovered? So, whether the lumbar disk can be self-returned, and whether this disease can be cured?

Can a herniated lumbar disc go back?

Many patients and friends have questions in their mind, can the herniated lumbar disc go back by itself? In fact, once the lumbar disc protrudes, it is very difficult to go back, which is determined by the structure of the lumbar disc. Lumbar intervertebral discs are located in the human body between two adjacent lumbar vertebrae, by the outer layer of the annulus fibrosus and the middle of the nucleus pulposus, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation refers to the nucleus pulposus breaks through the surrounding annulus fibrosus, protruding to the outside of the situation. Therefore, if there is a lumbar disc herniation, it also means that the lumbar disc peripheral fibrous ring structure has been damaged, which is intertwined and complex structure of the annulus fibrosus, there is no blood flow, its own healing ability is poor, once destroyed, there is no way to restore the original, even if it is barely scarred healing, strength will be much worse. If the nucleus pulposus does not completely break through the annulus fibrosus, it is possible that the herniated disc can be partially retracted through bone manipulation and traction, but as long as the nucleus pulposus continues to protrude when weight is put on it, there is very little chance that it will remain retracted for a long time. In addition, since the annulus fibrosus is divided into many layers, sometimes the nucleus pulposus is already jammed in the annulus fibrosus of different layers, which is also difficult to be retracted. Therefore, instead of thinking about how to retract it, we should think about how to stop aggravating the herniation.

Herniated lumbar discs don't hurt as much in the legs and feet, is the disease almost over?

As mentioned earlier, since it is difficult to retract a herniated lumbar disc, why is there no back pain or leg pain after treatment? In fact, the causes of lumbar disc herniation leading to back pain and leg pain are very complex, and compression of the nerves is only part of the reason. Lumbar disc herniation produces lumbar spine loosening, instability, lumbar muscle strain, as well as herniation itself leads to inflammation stimulation is the main cause of low back pain; the cause of leg pain, not only may be the herniation of compression of the nerves, but also may be the process of intervertebral disc degeneration released inflammatory substances caused by "chemical irritation of the nerve radiculitis", or the nucleus pulposus stimulates the body to produce "autoimmune neurogenic", or "autoimmune". Autoimmune radiculitis" is also caused by the release of inflammatory substances during the degeneration of the disc, or by the irritation of the body by the nucleus pulposus. Therefore, the herniated lumbar disc leg and foot pain is not so, this does show that the disease is getting better, the treatment of the right way, but does not mean that the "herniation" recovery.

Can a herniated lumbar disc be cured?

In fact, if randomly selected people on the street do lumbar spine CT, many people have lumbar disc herniation, but the vast majority of these people do not have uncomfortable symptoms, and work and life is the same as normal people. Therefore, even if a herniated disc is diagnosed, there is no need to worry too much about whether the herniation can be recovered and whether the condition will worsen. In most cases, the symptoms of herniated lumbar discs will be relieved very quickly through conservative treatment, and sometimes the condition will not flare up for years or even more than a decade. In the clinic, doctors will also recommend various methods to protect the lumbar spine to relieve the symptoms, from this aspect, lumbar disc herniation can be cured.

In short, the lumbar disc herniation now waist pain legs do not hurt, on the foot a little soreness shows that the treatment effect is good, but must not forget the pain, life also need to pay attention to the protection of the lumbar spine.

Original is not easy, get more interesting and useful medical science knowledge, welcome to like attention!

Hello, I am glad to answer your question! I am Zhuang Ping, director of the rehabilitation and physical therapy department at Xiyuan Hospital in Haidian District, Beijing.

A herniated lumbar disc can compress the nerves in the lower extremities, legs, and feet. Depending on the location of the herniation the nerves compressed are different. If your back and leg pain due to lumbar herniation is no longer severe, and you only have sore feet, this is not necessarily a sign that you are almost recovered.

A herniated lumbar disc is a rupture of the annulus fibrosus that causes the tissue inside to spill out and fail to return. Therefore, the only treatment is to control the spillage, reduce the pain, soothe the tendons and promote the recovery of the tissues and nerves.

If the low back pain due to lumbar bulge compression of the nerves is alleviated, ruling out a paralyzing effect of the medication, it is likely that the symptoms of the lumbar bulge have improved during this phase of the process.

Lumbar protrusion is also divided into acute and chronic, acute lumbar protrusion after experiencing severe pain, compared to chronic lumbar protrusion pain will produce the illusion of much less pain.

So whether the lumbar protrusion is getting better or not still need to talk to the doctor in time and understand all aspects of the situation to define.

I hope you find this helpful! Feel free to ask me any questions~

What a good thing! I am so happy every time I see a patient recover or have this improving trend!

Because in life my patients have asked me the same question!This is actually a normal phenomenon after treatment! No matter what the disease is, there will be a recovery period, the length of which depends on one's physical condition, while the recovery period will be characterized by soreness and numbness in the legs.

After the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, in fact, many are neuromuscular has not been fully recovered, so there will be the phenomenon of numbness of the legs, usually before and after the treatment of the lumbar attention to maintain good rest habits, and more to strengthen a variety of nutrient intake as well as to take drugs to promote the recovery of nerves, can speed up the recovery; have the conditions of the friends can also be through the Chinese medicine of acupuncture treatment to promote the numbness of the sensation of the restoration.

If the numbness in the legs keeps occurring, it is possible to consider that the condition has relapsed to a certain extent, and at this time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an MRI or CT of the lumbar spine, and then determine whether there is a relapse based on the current situation.

For those who suffer from lumbar disc herniation, I personally suggest that if you can treat it conservatively, you should treat it conservatively, because the orthopedic techniques of our Chinese medicine are also very strong, and I hope that you can put your faith in Chinese medicine, if you treat it through surgery, you may not necessarily recover after the operation, and it will also bring about some complications, which will also affect your life seriously.

Diseases are not judged to be recovered by whether or not symptoms subside!

Moreover, lumbar synostosis is a degenerative condition, caused by day-to-day injuries, and does not result in a sudden illness or sudden recovery.

The so-called back pain and leg pain are just phase changes!

Patients with lumbar protrusion are treated clinically in stages.

Symptoms are more serious, the pain is intense acute attack period, this time is the most painful to the majority of patients, because this pain will lead to people walking inconvenience, can not live and work normally, in addition can not be effective treatment, can only be analgesic quiet, waiting for the acute attack period. (Special advice: do not take any so-called exercise during this period, otherwise it is likely to add fuel to the fire, making the condition more serious.)

And the patient is now painful calf, can only represent the acute attack period of the past, now should be the chronic phase, the condition is still no change, just temporarily did not affect your life and work, this stage is the best treatment period.

If lumbar protrusion has been diagnosed, then it should be treated formally!

Disc lesions are generally categorized as bulging, herniated, prolapsed, or free, with each increasing in severity.

The treatment of patients with herniation, it is already necessary to consider the possibility of surgery, but it is not a necessary measure, it should be determined by the patient's imaging data combined with the history and symptoms, after all, the lumbar region is a more serious place, once a serious lesion occurs, the most common place of influence is the lower extremities, the lower extremities will have varying degrees of pain, numbness.

If the patient is only waist, lower limbs abnormal, then the situation is relatively optimistic, do not rule out the possibility of conservative treatment, but need to be particularly vigilant: "urinary and faecal function, sex life" whether there are changes, once the lesion compressed to the cauda equina, will make the patient urinary and faecal dysfunction, sexual disharmony and other situations, this kind of patient's situation is more serious, can not be recovered through conservative treatment, need immediate surgery. The situation is more serious and cannot be recovered through conservative treatment, and requires immediate surgery.

I hope my answer helps you!

If there's anything you don't understand, comment and private message me!

Lumbar pain is not necessarily caused by lumbar disc herniation, mostly lumbar muscle strain, if the lower limbs are accompanied by symptoms of radiating pain, then it may be nerve root symptoms caused by lumbar disc herniation, it is recommended that lumbar MR, combined with the clinical examination for further diagnosis [handshake].

If it is after rest and a period of treatment, the symptoms are much reduced compared to before, it means that your tightness of the lumbar muscle groups has improved, but it does not simply say that it is almost recovered, it is very likely that you do not have the slightest symptom after a period of time, but as long as the over-exertion, the lumbar weight bearing or over-exertion will lead to recurrence of the condition, and if you want to be completely cured, you still need to solve the problem of tightness of the lumbar muscle groups.

Herniated lumbar discs may be present in everyone after degeneration from the age of about twenty, but the reason why some people have symptoms and some do not is that the tightness of the external muscle groups is not the same, and the tightness of the muscle groups can be resolved by means of poultices, floating needles, and collapsing impregnation with Chinese herbs, and they will gradually recover.

Let's start with how it was treated

Beginning symptoms Imaging information

What kind of treatment was used?

Most of the lumbar disc herniation can be cured by conservative treatment, more rest during the onset of pain, sleep in a hard bed at home, wear a waist circumference during the day, pay attention to the lumbar warmth, you can orally take Daxuoluo pills, celecoxib and other medicines, external application of traditional Chinese medicine plasters, and enhance the lumbar and dorsal muscles functional exercise.

In this case, lumbar pain is often due to lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation stimulation, you can pay attention to rest, avoid stooping weight-bearing strenuous activities

Local hot compresses massage physiotherapy, appropriate Feiyan exercise rehabilitation exercise to consider gradually can be recovered, this situation requires rehabilitation recovery exercise, generally need a few months.
