Why Does the Inside of My Right Calf Hurt?

Pain in the right lower leg may be caused by lumbar disc herniation, which compresses the sciatic nerve and leads to abnormal nerve manifestations. It is recommended to rest primarily and avoid excessive activities. If necessary, you can go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the lumbar spine to confirm the diagnosis. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be taken to relieve the pain.

1. Lumbago and leg pain are one of the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation. Many people have experienced lumbar strain or cold and fatigue, resulting in lumbar pain. At this time, conservative treatment should be carried out to effectively relieve and control the symptoms, and attention should be paid to daily maintenance to prevent recurrence. Long-term prevention can avoid the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation.

2. There is tenderness or radiating pain in the lumbar muscles, and the knee joint is too high to cause sciatic nerve pain. These symptoms of lumbar disc herniation can indicate that the fourth lumbar vertebra to the first sacrum compress the nerves. Therefore, these are also symptoms of lumbar disc herniation.

3. If you find that your lumbar activity is limited or your lumbar flexion is reduced, you should promptly go to the hospital for X-ray examination. This may be caused by compression of the nerves by the protruding part of the lumbar spine. Early prevention and treatment can prevent the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation.

Lumbar disc herniation is common in young and middle-aged people, especially in physical laborers or those who sit and stand for a long time. In daily life, after the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation appear, everyone should pay attention to going to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
