Let me tell you about the treatment of "lumbar disc herniation".
We are in the same boat. After participating in the design of Sutong Bridge in the Yangtze River Estuary, we retired from the original work unit-Provincial Design Institute for many years.
Because of our fate, I want to tell you my personal experience in treating this disease:
I was diagnosed on 1994. I have never had the courage to go to the hospital because I am afraid of surgery-the lumbar nerve is dense, and I am afraid that careless surgery will lead to paralysis of the lower body. The so-called "hurry to see a doctor" is really unbearable. Therefore, as long as I heard about the ways and places to treat this disease and endure the pain, I have personally experienced it and spent a lot of RMB, but it has not been effectively solved.
Finally found a practical and effective solution, now for your reference:
That is to say, every onset season, go to the hospital for conservative treatment-but only "traction" and "massage" must pay attention to the "strength" of "traction"-don't believe the hospital's saying that traction is determined according to several parts of a person's weight, but according to his own symptoms and the degree of illness development.
After "traction", I immediately threw myself into "massage". It should be noted that the protruding intervertebral disc (nucleus pulposus) cannot be pushed back by "massage", that is to say, the bulbous joint of unilateral lumbar and gluteus maximus spasm caused by long-term stretching disorder will be rubbed apart and basically recovered after about 1 month.
In this way, it was "tossed" for 8 years until 2002 10 months-in fact, the disease had already occurred as early as 1 0 months ago, and traditional treatment methods were no longer working. Because the design task of the unit was tight at that time, I worked overtime until the eighth day on National Day, and was forced to live in the "Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region" because I taught the newly assigned college students to install the plotter roll paper program.
Fortunately, the operation was successful-of course, the patients in orthopedic wards of all "3A" hospitals in this city had been investigated before, and as a result, the conventional operation-"laminectomy and decompression" was adopted instead of "percutaneous nucleus pulposus removal"-minimally invasive, and the operation cost more than 8,000 yuan, which still feels acceptable.
Love tip: I hope you can combine your own conditions and do what you can. I wish you a speedy recovery!
