Symptoms of lumbar disc herniation?

Low back pain is the first symptom of most patients with this disease, a few patients only have leg pain but no low back pain, and some patients have low back pain first and leg pain after a period of time, so it is different for each patient to have low back pain.

Objective: in patients with lumbar disc herniation, some of them will have lower limb pain or numbness, which is mostly caused by the feeling of intervertebral disc pressing nerve and tactile fiber, so in daily life, patients can sleep on a hard bed and have a lot of rest.

Trauma is an important factor of disc herniation, especially in children and adolescents. When the spine is slightly loaded and rotated rapidly, the annulus fibrosus can be ruptured horizontally, while the cartilage endplate is ruptured mainly by compressive stress. Some people think that trauma is only the cause of intervertebral disc herniation. The original lesion is that the painless nucleus pulposus protrudes into the inner annulus fibrosus, while trauma makes the nucleus pulposus protrude further into the outer annulus fibrosus with innervation, which causes pain.
