    There is no cure for this disease. I'm also a lumbar protrusion.

    The lumbar process is caused by a ruptured annulus fibrosis behind the lumbar keyboard and a herniated disc pressing on the nerve. The rupture of the fibrous ring will not be repaired, so it will not heal.

    This disease is only relieved, in fact, many people have lumbar protrusion, but it does not press on the nerves and does not cause pain or inconvenience, so it is fine.

    The specific situation depends on your personal condition, if it is not serious, it is recommended to rest at home for a few months and stay in bed all the time. When I first got this disease, I lay at home for a month and a half, and it basically didn't hurt, but now if I don't pay attention, I will still hurt if I am tired or cold. I now regret that I didn't lie down for a few more months.

    **There are many methods, massage, physiotherapy, traction, acupuncture, and finally surgery. It depends on your personal situation, except for the surgery, which is basically relief, and I now go to massage regularly. Surgery is a last resort, after all, there are risks, and it will take a lot of time after surgery.

    For the problem of how long does it take for a patient with lumbar disc herniation to get better, this is mainly determined according to the severity of the patient's lumbar disc herniation, if it is only a patient with simple low back pain, it is usually possible to recover with active cooperation **7-10 days, if the intervertebral disc herniation has caused spinal cord nerve compression, leg pain and leg numbness, the recovery time is relatively slow, it takes about a month, and for the intervertebral disc herniation is relatively large, the spinal cord nerve compression time is relatively longFor patients who have caused significant nerve damage, the recovery time takes three months to six months.

    Generally, it takes three months to be successful, and if it is more serious, it will take several years. A herniated disc usually occurs when the lower back is under pressure when you sit regularly.

    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.

    In April last year, the New England Journal of Medicine, an authoritative foreign journal, published an article on the recovery of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation without surgery. Main content of the article: A 29-year-old female patient began to present with pain in her right leg with paresthesias 6 months ago, and no incontinence.

    About 5 months ago, an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Lumbar Spine) showed that a herniated lumbar disc led to spinal stenosis and nerve root compression (see Figure A below, emphasis on arrows).

    Turn left|Turn right.

    The patient opted for conservatism**: physical** and epidural glucocorticoids (mainly for anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects). After 5 months, a second MRI (as shown in Figure B below, emphasis on arrows).

    Turn left|Turn right.

    That is to say, without surgery, only conservative**, through exercise** and other means, it is possible to retract the herniated lumbar disc (mainly refers to the process of generating new water and fluid after the repair of the ruptured fibrous annulus).

    Mainly because:

    The human body has a certain ability to repair itself (the fiber ring can be repaired by itself, but it takes a long time and needs to be cooperated with a certain method).

    Medications** can act as anti-inflammatory and analgesic in the acute phase, can effectively relieve pain, and can support subsequent exercise**.

    The role of movement** in this.

    1.Simple, smaller exercises, such as the first stage of the scissor leg, can work the deep muscles near the lumbar disc (making it more toned), reduce the pressure on the lumbar disc and promote its repair.

    Turn left|Turn right.

    2.Some stretching exercises, such as supine abdominal flexion, can relax the lower back muscles and promote muscle flexibility.

    Turn left|Turn right.

    3.For example, flexural nerve stretching can reduce the pressure of the sciatic nerve, promote its nerve recovery, and effectively relieve symptoms such as pain and numbness.

    Turn left|Turn right.

    4.Some high-intensity exercises, such as lateral plank hip raises, can enhance the strength of the core muscles of the back and effectively reduce the risk of lumbar disc herniation.

    Turn left|Turn right.

    Generally speaking, it takes 3 months for muscles to recover, and longer for nerves, so exercise** is a long-term and consistent process. Of course, the exercise here is not simply any exercise, it needs to be evaluated in detail to determine what exercise needs to be done according to specific symptoms and other information.

    I use swimming (breaststroke backstroke) for function**, exercising core strength, + foam roller to release back muscles and fascial spasm, using Xuetingtang musculoskeletal patch to relieve pain and inflammation, and taking some drugs such as methylcobalamin vitamin B to nurture the nerves. It's pretty much good now.

    When there is a lumbar intervertebral disc herniation in the waist, it means that once the lumbar intervertebral disc is damaged, it is impossible to completely herniate the lumbar intervertebral disc. This is because the lumbar ligament is damaged, there is no way to return to the same state as before, and the only way to take physiotherapy and external application is to carry out the lumbar disc herniation.

    This depends on the severity of the condition, light cases can insist on exercising, but severe cases may need external patches, massage, acupuncture, etc., and then start exercising after the situation is relieved, so as to promote the recovery of the lumbar disc and enhance the function of the lumbar spine. However, regardless of the severity or not, you must actively exercise within the tolerable range, and do a good job of keeping warm and other nursing work every day, so as to avoid secondary injuries to your waist and aggravate your condition.

    "Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Herniation" belongs to the category of "paralysis" in traditional Chinese medicine. The waist is the house of the kidney, and the kidney is the main bone and marrow. "Neijing" cloud "wind, cold, dampness three mixed to the combination of paralysis".
