I have a lumbar disc herniation and my left leg hurts. How to treat or relieve?
Lumbar disc herniation can be treated without surgery, and some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be relieved or cured. Only about 10% patients need surgery. Patients with disc herniation should improve their awareness and common sense of self-maintenance and nursing to avoid unnecessary waist injury, which will lead to recurrence or aggravation. When going out on business, you should pay attention to the following points:

(1) Pay attention to avoid being fixed in a certain posture for a long time, so as to avoid back muscle fatigue and aggravate the symptoms of low back pain.

(2) when going out by car or walking for a long time, strengthen the protection of the waist, and at the same time play a supporting role to avoid the recurrence of lumbar sprain.

(3) Pay attention to keep warm, cold and moisture-proof. When going out, especially in autumn and winter, you should increase your clothes with the change of weather, especially pay attention to the warmth of your waist, back and lower limbs. It is best to use an electric mattress or similar warm bed to sleep in winter.

(4) During going out, besides paying attention to proper rest, we should also pay attention to physical exercise. Using temporary places, you can carry out functional exercises of back muscles, flexion, extension and rotation, and at the same time, both lower limbs should also carry out corresponding functional exercises.
