Are there any signs of a herniated disc getting better?

The little brother: Hello! It is normal for the results of the second CT examination to have a slight difference, which is manifested in the degree of herniation of the wide base of the L4-5 and L5-S1 intervertebral discs, and the posture during the examination has some influence on the examination results.

Your condition is already very serious, first of all, I recommend you to find a senior TCM massage therapist to do chiropractic, which has a better effect, minimal damage and low cost. If there is no improvement after a period of time, surgery should be considered**.

My ** opinion:

1. When it is painful, it is recommended to lie on a hard bed and take oral anti-inflammatory analgesics, which can be used as an auxiliary physiotherapy and traction;

2. Pain relief period: It is recommended to do Yanfei exercise to exercise the lower back muscles, which is the key to preventing the disease;

3. Daily, pay attention to waist rest, avoid sitting for a long time, avoid bending over, and avoid overwork, which is the key to getting rid of **;

4. If the effect is not good or aggravated after the above **, seriously affecting normal life, or causing stool disorders, surgery is recommended**.

Try to walk backwards, walk slowly in small steps, pay attention to safety, if there is relief, you can consider negative heels, instead of walking backwards, safer, exercise is beneficial and harmless, three national invention patents, R & D units for users to establish ** files, one-to-one guidance. Repeat purchases are a lot.

1. Symptoms are reduced.

Whether it is pain or numbness, low back pain or leg pain, the degree is gradually decreasing, and it is a phenomenon of improvement!

2. Pain near the waist.

For example, it used to hurt in the calf, but now the calf does not hurt, the thigh pain or buttock pain, and finally the low back pain, the distal pain disappears and it is better!

3. From pain to numbness.

During the ** period, the patient changes from the original pain to numbness, which is also a sign of improvement, including from pain to soreness, too!

4. Duration increases.

If it used to take a long time to get up in the morning, now it takes a while to get used to it, or the original walk of a few hundred meters, now thousands of meters, or the pain at noon is now delayed to the afternoon!

5. Increased range of activity.

Coughing and sneezing are not as painful as before, bending over more than before, back extension pain is reduced, legs are raised higher than before, and scoliosis is straightening, all of which are better!

Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation can be completely **, but there is a temporality, if the nerve compression is heavier, when there has been paralysis or incomplete paralysis, it can not be fully restored to the preoperative situation, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is a common clinical degenerative disease, the disc can be herniated to the posterior, compressing the nerve or nerve root in the spinal canal, the patient has low back pain, and at the same time there will be radiating pain in one side of the lower limbs, calf suffocation, plantar numbness and other clinical symptoms, which is a manifestation of nerve compression.

If symptoms are mild, they can be treated conservatively to relieve symptoms; If the symptoms are severe, surgery is recommended to remove the intervertebral disc to relieve nerve compression and relieve clinical symptoms, and most of them can return to normal levels. If the nerve is compressed for too long and too severely, it will be difficult to return to normal after surgery. For patients with herniated discs, it is possible.

If the patient's lumbar disc herniation symptoms are not significantly relieved after being conservative, and the patient's quality of life is seriously affected, the herniated disc can be removed through surgery, so as to relieve the compression of the spinal nerves, so as to completely restore the clinical symptoms caused by lumbar disc herniation, so the lumbar disc herniation can be **.

And in the case of ineffective conservative, it can also be surgical, so for patients with mild lumbar disc herniation, it is still conservative to alleviate the patient's clinical symptoms. And after the symptoms are relieved, pay more attention to keeping warm, avoid cold, avoid excessive force on the vertebral body in the waist, and avoid intervertebral disc herniation**.

If the patient's symptoms are reversed, seriously affecting the normal life and work, and the conservative effect is not obvious, it can be recovered through surgery.

Most of the muscle atrophy caused by lumbar disc herniation can be recovered, because muscle atrophy is due to the compression of nerve roots, which leads to a decrease in nerve nutrition status for muscles, and disuse atrophy caused by pain caused by reduced activity, and muscle atrophy occurs due to a combination of two reasons

Generally speaking, the muscles are still innervated, and after the lumbar disc herniation is resolved, the function of the nerve roots will return to normal, and the muscle atrophy should gradually recover. However, the specific extent to which it can recover depends on the effect of the exercise, and the accurate judgment can be used to determine whether it can be recovered.

Neuroelectromyography of atrophied muscles can determine how well nerve function has recovered. Sometimes, long-term nerve compression leads to atrophy and degeneration of nerve and muscle motor endplates, resulting in partial muscle atrophy that cannot be fully recovered. Therefore, for intervertebral disc herniation, in addition to pain control, surgery should be performed as soon as possible when signs of atrophy appear, and the intraneural root compression should be relieved as soon as possible to avoid a large number of motor endplate degeneration caused by too long time, resulting in irreversible muscle atrophy.
