How to treat lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis

I have a herniated lumbar disc and spinal stenosis, what can I do?

Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease nowadays, and many young people also have this disease. It's not just about age, it's also about our lifestyle. Many people are not in the right posture and leaning forward are also prone to lumbar disc herniation.

What should be done for lumbar disc herniation combined with lumbar spinal stenosis? Today I'm going to share some of the relevant knowledge.

1.How lumbar disc herniation with spinal stenosis is** depends on the severity of symptoms:

Many people have lumbar disc herniation, but patients with spinal stenosis are rare; Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is mainly a degenerative disease, which has a lot to do with age, and is a manifestation of the deterioration of human body functions. The ** regimen of lumbar spinal stenosis mainly depends on the effect of conservative ** and the severity of the symptoms, if the patient can relieve the symptoms through conservative**, then try not to operate;

2.Need to identify the **:

Most spinal stenosis occurs mainly in older people because their body is degenerative and the spinal canal is narrow; Some people may be born with spinal stenosis, and the stenosis is getting worse and worse, and surgery is needed at this time; In addition, if the symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis cannot be relieved after **, surgery can be performed**;

3.Lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis should be combined as much as possible**:

Lumbar disc herniation can increase the stenosis of the spinal canal, so both diseases need to be at the same time**; Normally, the lumbar disc and the spinal canal are relatively close together, but if the lumbar disc is herniated, the herniated nucleus pulposus will compress the adjacent spinal canal, increasing the degree of stenosis.

This is a disease in which the keyboard protrudes and causes the transport tube to be narrowed, which then compresses the nerves.

Lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation are two different diseases, although these two diseases are problems that appear in the waist, but lumbar spinal stenosis refers to the patient's lumbar spinal stenosis, and lumbar disc herniation refers to the patient's lumbar disc degeneration and other problems, so in daily life, we should pay attention to distinguish these two diseases to avoid mistakes that affect life.

Lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation are both diseases that appear near the waist, because the appearance of these two diseases may cause problems such as pain in the patient's lower back, which may affect the patient's judgment, lead to the patient's wrong ** physical problems, and affect the normal recovery of the patient, so it is important to correctly distinguish between these two diseases. So, what is the difference between lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation?

1. **Different.

Lumbar spinal stenosis may be caused by congenital spinal hypoplasia, or it may be caused by trauma, inflammation, etc. The cause of lumbar disc herniation may be caused by pregnancy, genetic factors, injury, etc., or it may be caused by abnormal development of the patient's lumbar spine.

2. The location of the disease is different.

Lumbar spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the lumbar spinal canal and intervertebral foramina, which compresses the patient's cauda equina nerve and other positions, while lumbar disc herniation refers to the degeneration of the lumbar intervertebral disc and compresses the nerve root and other positions.

3. **Different.

Patients with mild lumbar spinal stenosis are mainly treated with drugs, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, nutritional neurological drugs, etc., to alleviate the problem of stenosis and prevent the onset of symptoms, but if the patient's problem is more serious and has affected normal life, then it needs to be carried out by surgery**. If the symptoms of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation are not serious, then the symptoms can be relieved by drugs, such as muscle relaxants, glucocorticoids, etc., and pain and other problems can also be relieved by massage, physiotherapy and other methods, but if the symptoms have threatened normal life, then it is necessary to perform surgery to prevent the aggravation of symptoms.

To sum up, it can be known that lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation are two different diseases, but the impact of these two diseases on the lumbar spine is relatively large, so it is necessary to carry out ** in time to avoid the severity of physical symptoms. Moreover, patients should also exercise properly in their daily life to strengthen the muscles of the body and help alleviate physical problems.

Lumbar disc herniation is a symptom of lumbar disc degeneration, aging and compression of nerves, while lumbar spinal stenosis is a decrease in spinal canal volume caused by various reasons, such as discs, ligaments, and osteophytes that reduce the volume and squeeze nerve roots, resulting in lumbar spinal stenosis.
