What are the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation, in addition to low back pain?

Many bad behaviors can lead to a herniated disc in the lumbar spine, especially if you sit for a long time and maintain poor posture for a long time. There will be a herniated disc in the lumbar spine and significant local pain, which is also the reason why some people often experience low back pain. If this phenomenon occurs, it should be checked and ** in time to alleviate the disease in a reasonable way.

How can you tell the difference between a herniated lumbar disc and a lumbar muscle strain? What to do about a herniated lumbar disc? The difference between lumbar disc herniation and lumbar muscle strain is that lumbar disc herniation has symptoms of nerve damage, so the symptoms of sciatica mainly include radiating pain, numbness, decreased muscle strength on one or both sides of the lower limb, and some abnormal reflexes.

A doctor's examination can often lead to a continuous elevation of the lower extremities. There is such a loss of pain or a decrease in muscle strength, whereas a lumbar muscle strain does not have such nerve damage. In addition to lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain can also cause low back pain, and kidney disease can also cause low back pain in the morning.

Because a herniated lumbar disc can compress the lumbar nerve and cause sciatica, most lumbar disc herniation is related to sciatica, so the easiest way to determine whether it is a lumbar disc herniation is to see if we have radiating pain. In simple terms, radiating pain is from our buttocks, the back of our thighs, or the outside of our thighs, all the way to the outside of our calves, and then to the heels or hind feet.

If our low back pain is accompanied by this radiating pain, it can almost be judged as lumbar disc herniation, which is a tricky disease. Severe lumbar disc herniation can directly affect our normal work or life, so we should make active prevention a top priority in our lives. If you want to prevent lumbar disc herniation, it is recommended that you pay attention to the following points:

Do not sit for long periods of time or maintain an incorrect sitting posture, which is one of the most important factors leading to a herniated disc in the lumbar spine.

Therefore, if you want to prevent a herniated lumbar disc, you should pay attention and try not to sit for a long time. I recommend that when you're sitting in the office or studying, you should get up every hour or so to exercise, especially twisting your waist. Maintain reasonable exercise, long-term lack of exercise may also lead to a herniated disc in the lumbar spine.

Therefore, I suggest that you develop an exercise plan according to your actual situation and stick to it for a long time, which can not only effectively prevent lumbar disc herniation, but also have a good preventive effect on other chronic diseases. In addition to the above points, the most important factor in preventing lumbar disc herniation caused by low back injury may be a certain injury to the lower back. Therefore, I suggest that everyone should take the initiative to prevent lumbar spine injuries when engaging in lumbar spine sports or physical labor.

Of course, if possible, we can also protect our waist by protecting it while exercising.

In addition to low back pain, lumbar disc herniation can also cause symptoms of calf edema, sciatica, pain in the lower abdomen, pain in the front of the thigh, and peripheral conus syndrome.

Sensory impairment, numbness and decreased sensation in the limbs, easy spraining of the lower back, decreased muscle strength, tenderness, and difficulty walking, are all common symptoms of lumbar disc herniation.

And there will be backache, unable to stand up, the lower limbs will feel particularly numb, there are some movement disorders, and the lower limbs will feel special pain.

Scoliosis: Scoliosis in some patients without leg pain should also be regarded as a precursor symptom of lumbar disc herniation; Sprains: Sometimes there is often no big movement, but taking something or bending over to wash your face or getting up to fold is pulled to the lower back muscles.

Leg numbness: Some patients also have some non-painful symptoms, such as numbness and soreness in the lower limbs, and muscle weakness in the lower limbs.

Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation can also cause sensory disturbances in patients, especially affecting our optic affected spinal nerve roots, which makes the sensation of ** impaired.

In addition to low back pain, it can also cause back pain, leg pain, and abdominal pain, which are all complications, and it is important to go to the hospital in time to avoid becoming more and more serious.

First of all, these people will experience a particularly numb feeling, and there may also be urinary incontinence, and the lower limbs will also have a particularly severe pain sensation, and it will also affect the quality of sleep, and the sciatic nerve will also experience painful sensations.

1. Low back pain.

Low back pain is the most prominent symptom of lumbar disc herniation, which can be dull or pulling, intense when standing or sitting, and relieved by lying down. There may also be crampy pain in the lower back, which is unbearable, and it is necessary to pay attention to bed rest and timely **, which is mostly caused by a tear of the intervertebral disc fibers.

2. Scoliosis.

The nucleus pulposus pulposus of the lumbar intervertebral disc protrudes or protrudes from the original site, causing the spine to lose its original upright state and cause scoliosis. This condition may not be painful at first, but it is important to consider the herniated disc in the lumbar spine.

3. Numbness in the legs.

Some patients with lumbar disc herniation do not have obvious pain, but they will have numbness in the legs. This is also caused by the compression of the relevant nerves or blood vessels by the herniated lumbar disc, which is often manifested in patients with chronic lumbar disc herniation, and is also easily confused with some vascular diseases and mineral deficiency, which leads to procrastination.

4. The waist is easy to sprain.

In daily life, some people have a large range of movements, and if the force is uneven, it is easy to sprain the waist and affect daily life. However, patients with a herniated lumbar disc are prone to sprains even if they do not have major exercises or labor. This is due to the change in the state of the lumbar intervertebral disc, which also needs to be paid attention to, and no longer think of it as a muscle strain.

There are generally four symptoms of lumbar disc herniation, the first is pain, which is manifested as low back pain or radiating pain in the lower limbs, and the typical symptom is low back pain or numbness and pain in the lower limbs accompanied by unilateral.

The second is numbness, from the buttocks to the thighs, to the calves, or to the dorsum of the feet.

The third is weakness, which is manifested as the dorsal extension of the ankle or the dorsal extension of the thumb.

The fourth is the cold of the little finger, which is relatively rare in clinical practice, mainly the cold of the lower leg and the back of the foot or the soles of the feet.

I believe that for many middle-aged and elderly people, lumbar disc herniation is a very common disease, which will not only make their body change more or less, but also add a lot of burden to their ordinary life. Of course, it is not without warning for a herniated disc, in many cases we can find some symptoms from our body, at this time, if we find similar symptoms, it will prove that we may have suffered from a herniated disc.

Pain in the lower backSince he has a herniated disc, one of his most normal symptoms is low back pain, and for most patients with herniated disc, they will suffer from long-term low back pain. Because they work regularly or are tired, their waist will bear a lot of load, and their waist will feel pain in constant movement. Of course, at the beginning, it can be effectively relieved by just taking proper rest, but if it is too much time, it will not only make them feel pain in their daily life, but also when they cough, go to the toilet, and sneeze.

For example, there are many patients who suffer from scoliosis because of lumbar disc herniation, at this time, their waist will protrude to the side, not only will be able to clearly see the location of the protrusion, but also will have an impact on their nerves. In addition, for patients with a herniated lumbar disc, they will also have obstacles in the movement of the lower back because of the herniated disc, especially in their daily life, they will be very hindered, and even when they usually bend over to pick up things, they will be troubled.

Numbness Temperature DropsFor patients with a herniated disc, if they suffer from a herniated disc for a long time, their body will feel numb, not only in the calves or around the feet, but also more or less numbness. At the same time, many people will feel that their body is very cold, and after the examination, they will also find that their body temperature is gradually decreasing, which will not only affect their sympathetic nervous system to feel the temperature around them, but also cause them to have some other complications.

The typical symptom of lumbar protrusion is radiating pain, which is pain that radiates from the lower back to the back of the hips, the back and outside of the thighs, the calves to the heels or the dorsum of the feet, and feels like "electric strings". Some patients also have other symptoms such as numbness and urinary incontinence.

The symptoms are low back pain, which can also lead to pain in the limbs, numbness and weakness in the limbs, and muscle atrophy, as well as problems with bowel and bowel movements, and also a decrease in muscle strength.

There will be a very obvious feeling of abnormal lumps, and there will be some pain during the massage, and at the same time, you will feel that your waist is very weak, and there is no way to squat or bend over.

Patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation have low back pain and sciatica, radiating pain, numbness, weakness of the lower limbs, decreased range of motion of the lumbar spine, muscle atrophy or decreased muscle strength.

Low back pain, radiating pain in the lower extremities, numbness and weakness, cervical scoliosis, decreased movement of the lumbar spine, decreased muscle strength.
