What are the symptoms of lumbar protrusion? What are the signs of a fast lumbar protrusion?

Lumbar muscle spasms, spinal deformities, and limited mobility. Muscle spasms on one or both sides. Scoliosis or kyphotic deformity of the spine may be present. All are secondary adaptive changes to relieve pain. When lumbar protrusion** disappears.

Muscle paralysis: Lumbar disc herniation can cause this problem when the nerve root is compressed severely, such as L5 nerve compression, which can cause paralysis of the tibialis anterior, fibular longus, brevis muscle, extensor pollicis longus and extensor digitorum longus, manifested as foot drop.

Numbness and muscle spasms: Nerve root compression is not always pain, many people show numbness, and some people will have frequent cramps and it is not calcium deficiency, but clonic muscle contractions.

Pain in the lower abdomen and anterior thighs: a high herniated disc, such as nerve root compression, can cause pain in the corresponding nerve root innervation area, groin, and inner thigh.

Intermittent claudication: Because of pain or numbness, the symptoms worsen after walking, resulting in walking not far, and you can continue to walk after the pain is relieved!

Lower extremity pain radiates along the nerve distribution. The sciatic nerve starts at the waist and radiates along the hips, back of the thighs to the calves or feet. The femoral nerve radiates to the anterior thigh or anteromedial aspect of the calf.

Low back pain can occur before, with, or after leg pain. Coughing and sneezing a lot will cause pain in the lower back.

Sciatica: 95% of people with sciatica occur in L4 5 and L5 S1 disc herniation, so pain on the outside and back of the leg accounts for the vast majority.

It should be that the waist protrudes and feels very painful, uncomfortable and painful.

If there are no symptoms, if there is pain, it is not good.

What are the main symptoms of lumbar disc herniation:

1) Low back pain: This pain occurs before leg pain, or it can occur at the same time. The pain is mainly in the lower back or lumbosacral region, the pain is deep, difficult to localize, and is usually dull, stabbing or radiating.

2) Radiating pain in the lower limbs: sciatica or pain usually starts in the buttocks and gradually radiates to the back and outside of the thighs, the outside of the calves, the dorsum of the feet, the outside of the soles of the feet and the toes. Protrusion of type ** often causes bilateral sciatica.

Radiating pain in the lower extremities is worse when intra-abdominal pressure such as coughing, sneezing, and urinating and urinating increases, and leg pain is worse than low back pain, which is one of the main signs of disc herniation.

3) Numbness and paresthesia: abnormal sensations such as pain and numbness occur in the innervated area of the affected nerve root. For example:

The back of the thigh, the outside of the calf, the dorsolateral foot and the dorsal side of the hallux feel abnormal, the dorsal side of the toes ** paresthesia, and some will have chills, coolness, and dorsalis pedis artery weakening.

4) Muscle paralysis: Nerve paralysis and muscle paralysis may occur when lumbar disc herniation compresses nerve roots for a long time. It can cause paralysis of the tibialis anterior, peroneus longus and brevis muscles, extensor pollicis longus and extensor phalangeal muscles, and palsy of the triceps calf.

5) Intermittent claudication: due to the compression of the nerve root by the intervertebral disc herniation, resulting in inflammatory reactions and ischemia such as congestion and edema of the nerve root, when walking, the blocked vertebral venous plexus in the spinal canal is congested, which aggravates the congestion degree of the nerve root and the expansion of spinal cord blood vessels, and also aggravates the compression of the nerve root and causes intermittent claudication and pain.

6) Spinal posture changes: most of them are convex to the affected side, and a few are convex to the unaffected side, mainly depending on the relationship between the protrusion and the nerve root. Scoliosis relaxes nerve roots, reduces pain, and is a protective measure to reduce nerve root compression by protrusions.

In real life, many people suffer from different degrees of lumbar disc herniation, some do not pay enough attention, the condition changes from mild to severe, and some pay attention to it themselves, in time, the symptoms change from severe to mild, so how do we know that our condition is gradually becoming lighter?

First, strictly speaking, if you want to accurately judge whether the standard lumbar disc herniation has improved, you should seek medical attention in time.

Under imaging diagnosis, monitor whether the nucleus pulposus of the lumbar disc herniation is **, whether the fibrous annulus is contracted, whether the lumbar intervertebral disc that has been bulged returns to its original position, and whether the compressed nerve is improved. However, in real life, the main manifestation of the improvement of lumbar disc herniation is the reduction of symptoms, which is a relatively positive performance, and it can be concluded from the milder symptoms that the lumbar protrusion is gradually improving.

However, it should be noted that in some patients, the herniated disc is free, and the nucleus pulposus, which has been detached from the overall structure, may be separated from its original position with movement and peristalsis. Now that the symptoms have decreased, it may be that the compression of some nerves has been relieved, but there is still free broken tissue in the patient's body, and there is still the possibility of inducing obvious symptoms, and the patient should be vigilant.

Second, if these conditions are met, it also proves that the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation has improved.

1. Some patients with more serious lumbar disc herniation will feel back pain and leg neuralgia all year round, if the pain area is reduced and the pain intensity is reduced, it can be proved that the lumbar disc herniation has improved.

2. Some patients with better recovery will even completely transform pain into numbness, which is also a developmental outcome, but it is necessary to evaluate whether the motor function is seriously impaired. The distal pain disappears is also the main manifestation of the improvement of the lumbar disc herniation, the lumbar disc herniation causes the lumbar nerve to be compressed, and then the nerve transmits the pain signal outward, if the compression is reduced, the transmitted signal is weak, and it is likely to not reach the distal limb, and then the distal pain gradually disappears, which is a sign of the improvement of the lumbar disc herniation.

3. Some patients can roughly judge whether the lumbar disc herniation is getting better through the change of body shape. Patients with lumbar disc herniation have organic lesions in the lumbar spine tissue, so it is likely that changes in the structure of the human spine will occur, and symptoms such as physiological curvature of the spine and misalignment of the lumbar joint are common. If the herniated disc improves, these abnormal twists will be corrected and the spine will be straighter.

It's what we usually say about straightening your waist!

4. The exercise time has increased, many patients have lumbar protrusion at the beginning, and they need to rest because they can't walk a few steps, but now they are fine after walking for a few hours, which shows that the symptoms are significantly reduced.

If you have a lumbar protrusion, don't have a fluke mentality, you must be as soon as possible, you can't delay, many patients don't pay attention to it, and then it is serious, you need surgery, you spend money and suffer a crime, and it's easy, but after a timely time, most of the lumbar protrusions can be done by conservative methods!

The low back pain gradually decreases or even disappears, and the pain and numbness in the lower limbs gradually improve, which is manifested as a shortened pain time, a reduction in the degree of pain, or even basically no pain for a period of time. Once the lumbar process has been diagnosed, conservative** should be chosen.

The clinical symptoms of patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation mainly include the following aspects:

1. Low back pain, the patient's lower back, especially in the middle of the lower back, will have painful symptoms, and there may also be percussion pain or pressure pain. The muscles on both sides of the waist will be tense, muscle spasms, and very hard to the touch.

2. If nerve root compression occurs, sciatica will occur, typical sciatica is radiating pain from the buttocks to the thighs, posterolateral or posterolateral calves to the feet of the finger bridge patient, sometimes accompanied by numbness, and severe may cause decreased sensation or decreased muscle strength, such as foot dropping, foot can't lift up.

3. The symptoms of cauda equina nerve compression are relatively rare, and the patient's urine and urine will also be abnormal, which cannot be discharged or controlled by itself.

The above are the manifestations of lumbar disc herniation, which usually require a doctor to examine the patient according to the patient's symptoms combined with a physical examination of the patient, as well as auxiliary examinations such as CT or MRI to diagnose the disease.

If the lumbar protrusion is mainly slow, the patient's waist will have symptoms of pain in the middle of the waist, and the muscles on both sides of the waist will have muscle spasms, which will be very hard to the touch, and in severe cases, there may be decreased sensation or decreased muscle strength. If you feel that there are mild symptoms, you can go to the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Yiling Hospital, which is very praised.

Answer: Lumbar protrusion, first of all, I think that the ischial spirit is painful, when walking more than 100 meters, there is a pain of tendon tension from the root of the thigh downward, and then there is a numbness feeling in the feet when you walk more, these feelings disappear when you stop and rest.

The main cause of the occurrence is trauma or heavy physical work, such as excessive bending over and lifting heavy objects, which can cause herniated and degenerative discs. Patients with lumbar disc herniation will present with low back pain.

More than 95% of patients with lumbar disc herniation have low back pain and sciatica. The clinical manifestations are often low back pain, radiating pain, numbness, and weakness of the lower limbs, and may manifest as scoliosis, reduced range of motion of the lumbar spine, muscle atrophy or decreased muscle strength.

Patients with severe disc herniation will have impaired urine and bowel movements, and paresthesias in the sellar region.

The specific symptoms of lumbar process are manifested as low back pain, lumbosacral pain, pain and activity have a lot to do with activities, long-term sitting or occupancy symptoms will be aggravated, rest for a period of time will be relieved, patients with low back pain accompanied by sciatic nerve pain on one or both sides, but also appear in the form of leg pain and leg numbness, when the patient lumbar disc herniation is more serious, there will be urinary incontinence or can not be ruled out.

Most patients with lumbar protrusion are sudden low back pain or radiating pain to the lower limbs in the case of minor trauma or cold, now most young people have this symptom, must be paid attention to, the more well-known Yiling Orthopedic Department of Traumatology Gao Junmao Chief Physician has a very good method for the lumbar protrusion, using minimally invasive intervertebral foraminoscopy, the doctor's technique is very good, this kind of surgery can not be careless, must find a good doctor to do, there are the same troubles can go to see.

The precursors of lumbar protrusion are pain and swelling in the lower back, numbness and pain in the legs, and exacerbation of the disease can cause poor flexion and extension and normal activities are affected, and it will be accompanied by a feeling of heaviness, which will affect the normal squatting movement. It may be due to long-term dry heavy physical labor, or prolonged sedentary inactivity, which can be assisted by acupuncture or traction**. In the early stage of lumbar disc herniation, most patients will have some precursors, and patients can detect lumbar disc herniation disease in time through these precursors, and the precursor of lumbar protrusion is lumbar pain, which is manifested as diffuse pain distribution in the lower back.

The pain is aggravated by sitting or standing for a long time, and relieved by lying down. Morning pain is often the most relaxing. Patients may not have lower extremity pain.

This condition is often a precursor to lumbar disc herniation, so be careful.

Lumbar disc herniation is one of the more common diseases, before suffering from lumbar disc herniation, there will be some signs, patients can detect the disease in advance through these signs, patients will have low back pain, and the pain is diffusely distributed, patients in the sitting or standing for a long time after the pain is aggravated, the symptoms will be relieved when lying down, after getting up in the morning, the body is the most relaxed, some patients do not have pain in the lower limbs, these are the precursors of lumbar disc herniation, people with these signs should pay special attention.

Oops! This question is too professional, it is beyond the scope of my cognition, I can't talk about it, I think this problem can only be asked by Gao Junmao, an expert from Shijiazhuang Yiling Hospital. You must be satisfied with the answer he gave, and the doubts in your heart will be solved, and you can go down.
