What symptom can lumbar disc protrusion have?
summary
My boss, Mr. Li, has always been a workaholic. He found out that his lumbar disc was protruding a few years ago. Nowadays, white-collar workers always love this kind of disease, and I don't care about it. But in recent days, I feel lumbago and I've been uncomfortable. I'm afraid it's this kind of lumbar disc herniation. What are the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation? Now let me tell you something.
What symptom can lumbar disc protrusion have?
The first is low back pain. Almost all patients have this symptom. It is mainly manifested in the aggravation of low back fatigue or the aggravation of low back pain when taking the same position for a long time. However, the pain can be alleviated after rest or bed rest. If most of the nucleus pulposus protrudes and suddenly compresses the nerve root, causing ischemic pain due to the compression of the blood vessels at the root, the pain will suddenly occur and the muscles of the low back will spasm, The pain was spasmodic.
Then there is lower limb radiation pain, also known as sciatica. The pain is mainly along the buttocks, from the rear of the thigh to the rear of the calf or to the lateral malleolus and toes. The dull pain gradually aggravates. A few patients may have radiation pain from the bottom to the top, first from the foot, calf, lateral, posterolateral thigh to the buttocks, mostly on one side. For example, central or multiple protrusion can also be bilateral.
Walking difficulty: the patient is difficult to walk and unwilling to walk. After walking for a long time, a few patients feel numbness, distension and pain in their legs. They need to sit down or squat down to rest, resulting in intermittent neurotic rupture similar to spinal stenosis. Cauda equina syndrome: common perineal numbness, tingling, defecation and voiding weakness, sometimes alternating sciatica, from left to right, then sciatica disappeared, showing incomplete paralysis of both lower limbs. Female patients have false urinary incontinence, male patients with impotence.
