Recurrent symptoms of lumbar disc herniation?

Low back pain: this kind of pain appears before the leg pain, also can appear at the same time. The pain is mainly in the lower lumbar or lumbosacral region. The main reason for the pain is that the nerve fibers of the sinus vertebrae in the outer layer of the annulus fibrosus and the posterior longitudinal ligament are stimulated after the disc herniation. The pain site is deep, difficult to locate, generally dull pain, stabbing pain or radiation pain.

Lower limb radiation pain: because lumbar disc herniation occurs in lumbar 4,5 and lumbar 5 sacral 1 intervertebral space, and the sciatic nerve is from lumbar 4,5 and sacral 1-3 nerve roots, so patients with lumbar disc herniation have sciatica or hip first, and gradually radiate to the posterolateral thigh, lateral leg, dorsum of foot, lateral plantar and toe. Central type protrusion often causes bilateral sciatica. When the intra-abdominal pressure increases, such as cough, sneezing, urination and defecation, the lower limb radiation pain is aggravated.

Numbness and paresthesia: after lumbar disc herniation, it can cause local compression and implicative compression in the nerve root contact area, so that the fibers and blood vessels of the nerve root itself are compressed, leading to ischemia and hypoxia, so the affected nerve root innervation area has abnormal feelings such as pain and numbness.
