Congenital lumbar sacralization?

Congenital lumbar sacralization is very common. Generally speaking, congenital lumbar sacralization does not require special treatment. It is caused by congenital maldevelopment and usually has no symptoms. If there is local pain, it is likely caused by chronic lumbar muscle strain or strenuous exercise. It can be treated by taking some oral drugs to relax the muscles and promote blood circulation. You need to pay more attention to rest and avoid sitting for long periods of time or strenuous exercise.

What symptoms are easily confused with lumbar sacralization?

Lumbar degeneration: The lumbar spine is composed of five stacked vertebrae. Five pairs of lumbar crestal nerves extend from the neural foramina located between the posterior sides of the vertebrae. These crestal nerves, together with the nerves branching off from the sacral vertebrae below, form the largest peripheral nerve in the human body - the sciatic nerve. As we age, bone spurs grow and press on the nerve foramina, causing annoying symptoms such as back pain and sciatica. Thoracolumbar spine injury: Thoracolumbar spine injury mainly refers to the damage to tissue structures such as bones, ligaments and intervertebral discs, and the resulting damage to spinal nerve tissue. Due to the changes in the anatomical structure, there is no sternal manubrium in front of T11 and T12, and there are free ribs on both sides, so the stability is also worse than other thoracic vertebrae. The thoracic vertebrae are kyphotic and the lumbar vertebrae are lordotic, which makes it easy for the force of the spine to be transmitted downward. Generally speaking, T12-L2 fractures account for 60% of spinal fractures, and T11-L4 fractures account for 90% of spinal fractures. Therefore, the thoracic and lumbar fractures usually refer to T11-L4 fractures. Lumbar hypertrophy: also known as hypertrophic spondylitis or degenerative spondylitis, is a common cause of low back and leg pain in the elderly. When people reach middle age, the lumbar vertebrae begin to proliferate, hypertrophy, and develop bone spurs. Almost all elderly people have lumbar hypertrophy. On X-rays, it can be seen that the two sides of the spine have sharp shapes, like upturned lips, so some X-ray reports are called "lip-like hyperplasia."
