Does lumbar disc herniation hurt?

Lumbar disc herniation refers to lumbar disc herniation. Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease that can cause severe pain.

Lumbar disc is located between the vertebral bodies of the spine and plays a role in cushioning and supporting. When lumbar disc degeneration, injury or external force occurs, it may cause the fibrous ring of the disc to rupture, the nucleus pulposus protrudes, and the surrounding nerve tissue is compressed, causing pain. This compression can stimulate nerves and cause radiation pain along nerve distribution areas, such as buttocks and lower limbs.

Patients should see a doctor as soon as possible after pain occurs. Under the guidance of a doctor, targeted lumbar muscle exercises can strengthen the lumbar muscles, improve the stability of the spine, reduce the pressure on the lumbar disc, help relieve pain and prevent recurrence of lumbar disc herniation. Common exercises include back muscle exercises, abdominal exercises, etc.
