Lumbar disc herniation, numbness in legs.

Lumbar disc herniation can cause numbness in the legs and feet.

After lumbar disc herniation, the protruding part may press the nerve root, affecting the normal transmission of nerve signals, causing numbness in the legs and feet. This is because nerves are responsible for transmitting sensory information to the brain. When nerves are compressed, the transmission of information is disturbed, and abnormal sensations such as numbness occur. With the development of lumbar disc herniation, nerve pressure may gradually increase, leg numbness symptoms may also become more and more obvious, and may even develop from numbness to pain, weakness and other more serious manifestations.

once there are symptoms such as leg numbness, we should pay great attention to it and seek medical attention in time for detailed examination to clarify the specific conditions of lumbar disc herniation. If the condition is mild, the patient can rest properly and cooperate with the doctor for physical therapy, such as massage, traction therapy, etc. Also, ibuprofen, celecoxib and other drugs should be used according to the doctor's advice to relieve pain. If the condition is serious, surgery can be carried out with the doctor.
