Low back pain is the first symptom of lumbar disc herniation. Low back pain usually occurs before sciatica, with a wide range of pain, which can cause low back pain or lumbosacral pain.
1, low back pain
The degree of low back pain is determined by the incidence of lumbar disc herniation. The acute onset of the disease is sudden and the symptoms are serious, and the lumbar muscles can produce obvious spasm and tension.
Chronic onset is slow, pain symptoms are mild, and symptoms get worse with time. 12 measures to prevent lumbar spondylosis.
2, sciatica
Sciatica is a typical symptom of lumbar disc herniation, and the degree of sciatica depends on the compression of nerve roots. The area of pain reaction can be based on the protruding position, with 3~4 waist protrusions, and the front part of thigh of radiation dysmenorrhea goes down to the inside of calf to the front part of foot.
Waist 4~5 protrudes from the back of thigh, popliteal fossa and lateral leg to the foot surface of radiation dysmenorrhea. Lumbar 5, sacrum 1 protrude, with radial dysmenorrhea from posterior thigh to popliteal fossa and posterior calf to sole. Doing exercise can protect health. Blind treatment of neck and back pain can lead to paralysis.
Sciatic nerve pain is knife-like burning pain, and acute pain can make patients unable to sleep. The duration of pain is related to the degree of oppression. Generally, symptoms can be gradually relieved after 3~4 weeks, and a few patients can last for several months.
3. Intermittent claudication
Intermittent claudication is a typical reaction after nerve root compression. When walking, it shows pain and weakness in the lower limbs, and the symptoms are relieved after squatting.
This shows that the nerve root is pulled when walking, and the nerve root is relaxed after squatting because of the change of posture. The nerve motor traction under pressure is static and the pain symptoms are alleviated accordingly. Therefore, patients with lumbar disc herniation often maintain the flexion position of the lateral lower limbs when resting in bed.
4. Muscle dominance disorder
Muscular innervation disorder occurs when prominent tissues severely compress nerve roots. The muscle strength of thumb extension and plantar flexion and extension is weakened.
5. The skin of lower limbs feels numb.
Patients with severe disc herniation have abnormal skin sensation of lower limbs, which reflects the dysfunction of nerve conduction and tactile nerve fibers.
The numb area depends on the compression position of nerve root. Generally, waist 3~4 protrudes from the front of thigh and the inside of calf, waist 4~5 protrudes from the outside of calf, instep and big toe, and waist 5 and sacrum 1 protrude from the back of calf and sole.
6. Symptoms of lower back ponytail
Lumbar and sacral central disc herniation, huge protrusion can compress cauda equina nerve, leading to cauda equina nerve compression injury, anal pain, perineal numbness, dysuria, severe urinary incontinence, impotence in male patients.
Most middle-aged and elderly people have lumbar problems, such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis. Patients with chronic lumbar disease can play a role in relieving the disease and delaying the development of the disease course through proper lumbar exercise.
The method of waist exercise
1, suspension method
Use doorframes or horizontal bars for hanging exercises. Methods: When hanging, relax the waist and lower limbs to make the weight droop naturally, so as to achieve the purpose of traction.
The suspension must be slow and light to avoid operating the lumbar spine because of jumping up and down. Hanging exercise should gradually increase the amount of exercise and persevere.
Precautions: move lightly and slowly, and try to let your family help you protect.
2. Stretching method
If it is not suitable for hanging exercise, people can choose stretching exercise. Methods: Feet should be shoulder width apart, and the whole body should be relaxed. Inhale slowly through your nose as your arms are slowly raised.
Hold your arms high above your head, look up at the sky, stand at your waist to the maximum, and pause for a moment. Then, slowly exhale through your mouth and slowly lower your arm. Repeat this method for 36 times, once in the morning and once in the evening, preferably in a place with fresh air.
Note: Do it with your own strength. Don't push fast. After getting used to it, you can gradually exert yourself.
3. Walking backwards
When walking backwards, you should choose a flat and safe venue to walk backwards. Methods: When walking, you should hold your chest and abdomen, look straight ahead, swing your hands back and forth naturally, and try not to look back. The speed of walking backwards should be determined according to your own ability, step by step. Generally, walk backwards every time 15 minutes, twice a day.
Attention: control the speed and be careful to fall. This method is not suitable for people with poor balance function.
4. Squat method
Keep your feet shoulder width apart, raise your hands horizontally, squat slowly, touch the ground with your toes, and raise your heels. Squat in place. When you start practicing squats, you can help the wall and other things squat and gradually increase the number of squats. Do it twice a day and squat 36 times each time.
