What Should I Do About Leg Pain Caused by Lumbar Issues?

1. In the early stages, conservative treatment can be selected, including oral administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, blood circulation-promoting and trauma-curing medicine, and neurotrophic drugs. Physical therapy such as acupuncture, massage, traction, and electrotherapy can also be employed. However, if symptoms fail to improve after treatment, surgical intervention should be actively considered.

2. Lumbar pain is directly related to chronic accumulation, fatigue, and strain, and can be easily induced by wind and cold. For oral medication, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs such as meloxicam and celecoxib can be taken. Muscle relaxants like eperisone hydrochloride tablets, and oral medications such as Yaotongning Capsule and Guiqi Zhuanggu Granules, also possess good analgesic effects. Is it useful to wear a lumbar support belt for lumbar disc herniation? Wearing a lumbar support belt is very helpful for patients with lumbar disc herniation. Lumbar fixation devices can quickly stabilize the lumbar spine and relieve lumbar muscle spasms for these patients. The belt should be used before treatment and after symptom relief. It is necessary to adjust and enhance nutrition by consuming high-protein foods and supplementary hot compress and physiotherapy, which can effectively improve symptoms. Therefore, wearing a lumbar support belt is effective for lumbar disc herniation.
