In conventional thinking, lumbar disc herniation is the "patent" of the elderly, but in today's fast-paced society, more and more young people are running for life, staying up late and working overtime has become commonplace, and sedentary work has become the majority People's daily life. But sitting while sitting, the body is prone to sitting problems, such as lumbar disc herniation. Lumbar disc herniation is no longer a "patent" of the elderly, and the number of young patients is increasing day by day. 
1. Waist pain
Waist pain is the most common symptom of lumbar disc herniation, and most patients will experience low back pain discomfort at the onset of the disease. The pain is mostly tingling, and may also be persistent dull pain and drag pain. The pain worsens after sitting and standing for a long time, and the pain will be relieved after lying down.
2. Lower limb pain
The pain caused by lumbar disc herniation is not only in the waist, but the lower limbs may also be involved and cause pain. Intervertebral disc herniation is so severe that nerve fibers are compressed, and lumbar pain can spread to lower limbs, such as thighs and buttocks, as radioactive under nerve conduction. The pain is persistent dull, and may be accompanied by soreness and numbness. The disease is prone to occur after external factors such as fatigue and cold, and the pain can be relieved to a certain extent after rest.
3. Intermittent claudication
Intervertebral disc herniation occurs inside the intervertebral disc. Under the action of external forces, the fibrous annulus of the intervertebral disc ruptures, and the nucleus pulposus tissue protrudes from the rupture or falls out of the back or the spinal canal, which stimulates compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots , Causing pain and numbness of the lower limbs, causing difficulty in lower limb movement, and then intermittent claudication may occur.
Four. Lumbar movement limitation
Intervertebral disc disease will directly affect the lumbar spine movement. The heavier the disc herniation, the greater the lumbar spine movement limitation, which is manifested by the difficulty of lumbar spine flexion and extension, and in some simple lumbar activities, For example, bending at the waist is prone to sudden waist sprain. In addition, the curvature of the lumbar spine, the surrounding blood circulation, and the lubricity of the joints changed by the herniated disc will affect the mobility of the lumbar spine.
V. Symptoms of cauda equina
The protruding nucleus pulposus or prolapse, free intervertebral disc tissue compresses the cauda equina nerve, which causes major and urinary dysfunction, and perineal and perianal paresthesia. In severe cases, symptoms such as loss of control over urine and feces and incomplete paralysis of both lower limbs may occur, but these are relatively rare.
Although modern high-incidence diseases of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, most of the patients are relatively mild, and conservative treatment can achieve the therapeutic effect. At the same time of conservative treatment, patients should also pay attention to the use of the waist, avoid poor waist posture, waist overwork, etc., to help the treatment of symptoms.
