    Is the lumbar pain old and bad, should I choose surgery or choose conservative**?

    People who have never had lumbar protrusion cannot understand the pain of lumbar protrusion, and in their eyes, lumbar protrusion is a matter that can be done with a few plasters and a few massages. But patients who understand the principle of lumbar protrusion understand that this kind of method is, and it is not as good as lying in bed.

    If surgery is indicated, surgery is still required. If conservatism has an effect, it can be conserved, but conservatism has no effect for more than half a year, why should you be conservative? The family can be kept and wait for a miracle, and how many ordinary people can take a few months off work without working?

    Don't you have to make money and don't want to live in your daily life? And many times Chinese medicine is not ineffective, but he does not have an accurate deadline, is it a month to cure or two months or a year or two? How many people can provide for you for a year or two without working?

    If you can keep exercising and ensure good lifestyle habits after surgery, it is very likely to be avoided. I think that the kind of person who persuades people indefinitely to keep that they haven't had a lumbar protrusion is either bad or stupid!

    If the patient's lumbar disc herniation is not very serious and only has symptoms of low back pain, it is best to be conservative**, which can be carried out through massage, traction, massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy and other methods**, or under the guidance of a doctor, you can take some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving, blood circulation and blood stasis drug assistance**. If the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is more serious and there is already paresthesia in the lower limbs, surgery can be selected if the conservative ** is ineffective**.

    In short, you can be conservative if you are conservative and effective, but you have to set a bottom line or value for yourself, such as how I have recovered from being conservative for half a year, whether I can go to work and live a normal life, if you can, continue to be conservative, at least you can go to work and live, if you can't, you can have surgery quickly, otherwise you will be tortured by the lumbar protrusion? As for the failure of the operation or the situation of ** or problems, if you have been thinking about this, I really don't recommend you to operate, you don't believe in surgery in your heart, you must not be rectified.

    Intervertebral disc herniation, also known as intervertebral disc dissociation, refers to the complete detachment of the nucleus pulposus from the annulus fibrosus, leaving the intervertebral space and entering the spinal canal, becoming free tissue, and adhesion with the surrounding tissues. The proportion of prolapsed types is very small, and usually severe prolapse can only be surgically surgified**.

    You are just protruding very much, protruding 9mm-10mm, it is a left posterior protrusion, affecting the left leg, the acute phase will appear soreness and numbness in the left leg, just like you are in the hospital, when the acute phase comes, play mannitol dehydration to relieve the symptoms. After that, try to prevent the recurrence of the acute phase.

    Usually pay more attention, 47 years old, the age is not young, in the future, you should pay attention to the waist warmth, calcium supplementation. Don't get too tired, don't stand too often, and don't sit too often. Sleep on a flat bed.

    As for whether to have surgery, you also said that there will be numbness in the legs, so it still depends on your own endurance, you haven't come out yet, you can still bear it, you won't be unable to move, and you still don't need surgery. If you have symptoms, keep it up for a follow-up test in 3-5 months.

    Or usually pay attention. Self-preservation is the mainstay.

    Pure hand-played, I hope it helps you.
