How should I treat nerve compression caused by a lumbar brace?
After lumbar support compresses the nerves, it is necessary to rely on endoscopic nucleus pulposus removal surgery, lumbar posterior incision surgery, etc. for treatment. This is the only way to effectively resolve the symptoms of lumbar support compressing the nerves. As lumbar support compressing the nerves may cause issues such as low back pain, radiating pain in the feet, or difficulties in urination and defecation, which can affect normal life, it is important to actively seek treatment.
1. When the sensory nerves around the lumbar discs are compressed, it can cause pain in the lower back and a dragging sensation in the buttocks, especially when walking or bending over.
2. Compression of the sciatic nerve can lead to sciatica symptoms, manifesting as radiating pain from the buttocks along the back of the thigh to the outer calf, dorsum of the foot, or plantar.
3. Compression of the cauda equina nerves can cause difficulties in urination and defecation, manifesting as difficulty urinating, urinary retention, and constipation.
1. Endoscopic lumbar discectomy: By applying lumbar endoscopy for minimally invasive surgery to remove the herniated nucleus pulposus tissue, it can relieve nerve compression, alleviate low back pain, and symptoms in the lower extremities.
2. Lumbar posterior incision surgery: Suitable for patients with multi-segmental lumbar disc herniation. The herniated nucleus pulposus tissue is removed, and spinal canal decompression is performed simultaneously. To restore lumbar stability, internal fixation and bone grafting fusion should also be performed.
