Symptoms of lumbar bone hyperplasia

As the saying goes, a doctor can cure himself but cannot treat himself. Even an orthopedic specialist may suffer from bone hyperplasia. These are unavoidable things. Colds and leg and foot problems are especially common among the elderly. Because many elderly people have exhausted their bodies when they were young. However, many elderly people are afraid of bringing financial burden to their children, and dare not tell their children about the symptoms of lumbar bone hyperplasia. As a result, the condition becomes more and more serious. Even if they go to the hospital for professional treatment in the later stage, the effect is not very obvious.

Many diseases will have some obvious symptoms in the early stages, but because most people do not pay attention to those symptoms, they miss the best time for treatment. So what are the specific symptoms of lumbar bone hyperplasia? Let's learn about it below.

Lumbar spondylosis is a chronic, progressive joint disease, most commonly occurring at the L3 and L4 joints. Compression of the sciatic nerve can cause sciatica, which can cause severe numbness, burning pain, cramping pain, and stringy pain in the affected limb, radiating to the entire lower limb.

The most common sites for lumbar vertebrae bone hyperplasia are L3 and L4:

1. The early symptoms of lumbar vertebrae bone hyperplasia are lower back and leg pain, which are relatively mild. Lumbar vertebrae bone hyperplasia develops slowly, and the early symptoms are relatively mild, which are not easily taken seriously by patients. They only manifest as soreness in the waist and legs, which may be light or severe at times. The pain is especially obvious after sitting for a long time, being tired or getting up in the morning, and the pain is relieved after proper activity or rest.

2. As lumbar bone hyperplasia becomes more severe, intervertebral disc degeneration, vertebral deformation, looseness and instability between adjacent vertebrae will occur, and the waist will feel stiff, painful and weak during activities. The stimulation of osteophytes formed after degeneration can make the stiffness of the waist more obvious, which is more severe when resting, relieved after a little activity, and aggravated by overwork.

3. When lumbar vertebrae bone hyperplasia is severe, the growths may stimulate or compress the spinal nerves, causing radiating pain in the waist, as well as low back, leg pain and numbness in the lower limbs. When the front and side of the vertebral body proliferate, it can compress and stimulate nearby blood vessels and autonomic nerves, causing functional disorders.

4. Clinically, symptoms such as soreness, distension, and fatigue in the lumbar spine and lumbar soft tissues, and even limited bending ability, are common. If the adjacent nerve roots are compressed, it may cause corresponding symptoms, such as local pain, stiffness, posterior root neuralgia, numbness, etc. [1]

Through the introduction of the above content, we can understand that there are many symptoms of lumbar bone hyperplasia, usually some severe back pain and leg pain will cause some bone deformation and so on. However, family members must pay attention that once the symptoms become serious, they need to go to the hospital for professional treatment. Once the symptoms of lumbar vertebrae bone hyperplasia appear, such as numbness of the lower limbs, they are extremely serious.
