Can a simple lumbar muscle strain cause lumbar instability?

Yes, because the muscles of the waist and the muscles of the whole body are connected together, once the waist muscles are stretched, it will be accompanied by a particularly severe pain, which will leave sequelae, and then during strenuous exercise, it may be injured again.

Yes, there is such a possibility, you must pay attention to maintenance, muscle strain will lead to various problems in the body, which can easily lead to the condition becoming more serious.

Yes, if the lumbar muscle strain is not treated in time, it will cause instability of the lumbar spine and the body will be affected.

signs: local pain, tenderness; swelling, muscle tension, stiffness, cramping; Dysfunction. Pain worsens when the injured muscle actively contracts or passively lengthens; Positive resistance test for muscle contraction, i.e., increased pain or the presence of a broken depression. Some casualties have a tear-like sensation, obvious swelling and severe subcutaneous bruising, and those who feel a depression or see an abnormal bulge at one end may be a muscle rupture.

This paragraph deals with. In patients with mild strain of muscle fibers and muscle spasms, acupuncture** will achieve significant results. If the muscle fibers are partially broken, cold compresses and compression bandages should be applied in the early stage, and the affected limb should be placed in a position to relax the injured muscle to relieve pain. After 48 hours, start the massage gently.

If a complete rupture of muscles or tendons is suspected, the affected limb should be sent to the hospital for diagnosis immediately after local compression bandaging and immobilization, and surgery should be performed if necessary.

Depending on the situation, exercises such as squat jumps, long jumps, etc., can be written and rested for a few days, as long as you can still move normally and do not hurt at all, it is fine.

If you can't move the tear, it's best to go to the hospital.

Lumbar sprain: The lumbar spine is a self-contained pillar that bears more than 60% of the gravity of the human body

and engaged in complex sports. It has only the soft abdominal cavity and iliopsoas muscles in front of it, and only some muscles, fascia, and ligaments nearby, which are not protected by bony structures. Therefore, intervertebral joints, posterior joints, lumbosacral joints, sacroiliac joints, ligaments, surrounding muscles, fascia, etc., are very susceptible to injury during weight-bearing or uncoordinated movements.

If it is not effective in the acute stage**, it is easy to become chronic and become intractable low back pain or lumbar muscle strain.

External application of traditional Chinese medicine that invigorates blood circulation and dissipates stasis, reduces swelling and relieves pain**. Or take it internally to tonify the kidney and strengthen the tendons, Duhuo parasitic soup, Ma Gui Wenjing soup, Zhenggu Zijin Dan, etc.**.

Lumbar muscles, fascia, ligaments and other soft tissues are suddenly overstretched due to external force, which exceeds the normal physiological load, causing local acute injury. often due to heavy loads; or a sudden flash injury to the waist when transporting a heavy object; or bending over to lift heavy objects, sudden straightening, muscle spasms, etc., generally have obvious trauma.

The main manifestations are severe pain, unable to move immediately, light can move, but after rest or the next morning, the pain is aggravated, and even unable to get up, psoas muscle spasm can be seen during examination, and severe cases are hard as plates, and it is difficult to turn over. Unilateral lumbar muscle sprain can cause scoliosis, and movement is noticeable. There is significant tenderness on one or both psoas muscles, depending on the site of injury.

Lumbar sprains are often on one or both sides of the spine and are widespread; In supraspinous or interspinous ligament injury, the tender point is mostly in the spinous process or interspinous process; In iliolumbar ligament injury, the tender point is often at the medial superior border of the posterior superior iliac spine; In a lumbosacral ligament sprain, the tender point is often located at the lumbosacral junction. In severe sprains, the pain may radiate along the muscles to both sides or to one of the lower limbs. However, it generally only reaches the popliteal plane, mostly on the posterolateral or anterolateral aspect of the thigh, and rarely radiates to the calf and foot.

Symptoms of lumbar muscle strain].

1) In the early stage after resting the injury, it is advisable to lie on your back on a wooden bed with a cushion for a short period of rest, and put a thin pillow on your waist to relax your psoas muscles; It can also be alternated with the prone position to avoid re-involvement of the injured tissue and facilitate repair. Mild sprains need to rest for 2 to 3 days, and more severe sprains need to rest for about 1 week. 

2) Acupressure massage can be performed after massaging the injury. Take the acupoints of the middle of the person, sprain, kidney Yu, large intestine Yu, and Weizhong, and the intensity of the technique should make the patient have a strong feeling of soreness and numbness. 

3) Others**, such as external sticking of active analgesic ointment. Bone vitality, internal administration of active analgesics, cupping**, acupuncture**, local injection of prednisone, physiotherapy, etc., all have good efficacy. 

Like me, some time ago, I was also carrying something and strained my waist, and I saw one in the hospital.

Du, the doctor prescribed 2 boxes of flower zhi medicine I forgot what the name is, I bought another plaster myself, and I took it internally and externally for 3 weeks.

Now you can't bend over, that's because when you strain your waist at that time, the soft tissues (cartilage, ligaments) of your waist are also strained at the same time, if it's a simple muscle strain, it can be repaired by itself, and the soft tissue strain itself will not repair itself (because once the tendons and ligaments are broken and strained, they will only shrink to both ends and will not stay in the original place and grow out on their own), as can be proved by time, the longer the time drags on, coupled with too much activity, the more serious the soft tissue damage will be, It is recommended that you choose wild mountain herbs (without artificial cultivation, the effect of artificial cultivation is not good) externally**, no need to take it internally, there is no *** for the body, cartilage** can be healed in about 25 days, ligament** in about 20 days, and the waist curvature will naturally return to normal. During the period, rest more, move less, and don't let the waist bear too much weight, so as not to damage the soft tissues again. Avoid beef, chicken, ginger and hot food, and eat fresh vegetables and fruits.
