Does the bone of lumbar disc herniation make cracking sounds?

Generally speaking, patients will not experience bone cracking symptoms after suffering from lumbar disc herniation. This may be caused by problems with the joints. In daily life, we should pay attention to the training of the waist and back muscle strength. Simple lumbar disc herniation will not cause bone cracking. Lumbar disc herniation is prone to radiating pain in the lower limbs and scoliosis, etc.

Symptoms of lumbar disc herniation

1. The temperature of the affected limb drops: As the protruding part compresses the blood vessels, the temperature of the affected limb drops suddenly, causing the patient's affected limb to often feel cold and the dorsalis pedis artery pulsation to be weak.

2. Radiating pain in the lower limbs: In the early stage of the disease, the pain first starts in the buttocks, gradually radiating to the posterior thigh, the outer side of the calf, and may even develop to the outer side of the dorsum of the foot, the heel or the sole of the foot, seriously affecting the patient's normal standing and walking.

3. Scoliosis: Generally speaking, most patients will have varying degrees of lumbar scoliosis. The direction of the scoliosis can indicate the location of the protrusion and its relationship to the nerve root.

4. Lumbar movement disorder: When exercising or exercising, the patient's waist movement will be affected by various aspects, especially when stretching or bending, severe pain may occur.

5. Low back pain: According to clinical investigations, most patients have a history of low back pain or a history of repeated low back pain attacks. Because each patient's physical condition is different, the severity of low back pain is also different. Patients with mild symptoms can do appropriate exercise, while patients with severe symptoms need to stay in bed and rest.

What causes lumbar disc herniation?

1. The effect of external force:

Acute injuries such as lumbar sprain do not directly cause lumbar disc herniation. However, without the protection of the waist and back muscles, it is very easy to cause intervertebral disc herniation. Minor damage caused by long-term and repeated external forces acts on the lumbar intervertebral disc over time, aggravating the degree of degeneration.

2. Degenerative changes of lumbar disc:

The degeneration of the nucleus pulposus is mainly manifested by a decrease in water content, and may cause small-scale pathological changes such as joint instability and loosening due to water loss; the degeneration of the annulus fibrosus is mainly manifested by a decrease in toughness, different pressures on different parts of the annulus fibrosus, and frequent torsion, which can easily accelerate the degeneration of the intervertebral disc.

3. Anatomical factors of the intervertebral disc itself:

At present, with the progress of society and the accelerated pace of people's lives, the number of patients with lumbar disc herniation is gradually increasing. Due to the lack of circulatory exercise and unsatisfactory rehabilitation effects, diseases such as allergic spondylitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and neurasthenia have emerged. Therefore, patients should not put too much pressure on themselves, as this will actually lead to better results.
