Maintaining a good body shape is beneficial to physical health, so obese people should lose weight in time. It is best to regulate the body through exercise and a reasonable diet. However, it is also common for some people to suffer from back pain or leg pain due to excessive exercise. In addition, back pain caused by illness should not be ignored. But what is the disease that causes leg pain due to lower back pain? How to treat this situation?

It is not a very common phenomenon that low back pain causes leg pain, but if you suffer from lumbar disc herniation, it will compress the nerves and cause leg pain. In this case, in addition to bed rest, the patient must also take medication and exercise the lumbar muscle function. If there is still no effect, lumbar traction and surgical treatment must be performed. Bed rest. Generally, many patients strictly stay in bed for a month in the early stage. The effect will be better than the effect of medication. However, it is difficult to maintain strict bed rest, which means that urination and defecation must be done in bed. Drug treatment is commonly used clinically, such as blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs and analgesics. Third, emphasize the functional training of the waist and back muscles. Hold each movement for fifteen seconds, rest for a while, and do it five to ten times in a row. For the fourth lumbar traction, the patient lies in the supine position, and a lumbar traction bed is used to counteract the pelvis and thorax. The traction force is equivalent to the patient's weight. Continuous traction is generally used for thirty minutes, once a day. Fifth, surgical treatment. Since the indications are very strict, less than 5% of the population are suitable for surgery. The doctor will provide you with the best treatment method based on your symptoms and the specific situation of the CT and MRI reports.

For the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis, most first-degree spondylolisthesis do not require surgical treatment. Only when the compression symptoms of second-degree or above spondylolisthesis are obvious and conservative treatment is ineffective can surgical treatment be considered. Minimally invasive surgical treatment is more reliable. In addition, pay attention to keeping the waist warm and apply local physical therapy.

Pay attention to the following points in daily life:

1: Sleep on a hard bed. Sleeping on a hard bed can reduce the pressure on the intervertebral disc.

Second : Keep your waist warm and avoid cold. Wear a waist belt (waist belt) during the day to protect your waist and back, which is beneficial to the recovery of lumbar spondylosis.

3. Avoid excessive weight or activity on the lumbar spine. Try to rest in bed during acute attacks. After the pain is relieved, you should also pay attention to proper rest and avoid overexerting yourself to avoid aggravating the pain.
