Symptoms of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Lumbar spinal stenosis refers to lumbar spinal stenosis caused by bone or fiber hyperplasia, which leads to ponytail or nerve, and produces clinical symptoms called lumbar spinal stenosis. Its symptoms are usually manifested as soreness, swelling, numbness, pain and weakness in both lower limbs. The pain is usually aggravated by posterior extension of the spine and lumbar lordosis, and relieved during rest. The most typical manifestation is neurological intermittent claudication. It is characterized by symptoms such as pain, numbness, soreness, swelling, and weakness in the lower limbs. If you continue to walk, the symptoms will be further aggravated, and they will be significantly relieved or disappear after rest.

Conservative treatment of spinal stenosis

Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the lumen caused by various pathological reasons, which leads to local compression of the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in a series of clinical symptoms. The conservative treatment of spinal stenosis is non-surgical treatment. We can treat it through bed rest, pelvic traction, cervical traction, neck and back muscle exercises. We can also use some local physical therapy massage, neck support protection and hard waist protection. We can also use some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics for treatment, and some nerve nutrition drugs when necessary. We can also use some plasters that promote blood circulation, dredge meridians and relieve pain for external application.

What medicine is used for spinal stenosis?

Spinal stenosis refers to a series of clinical symptoms caused by various pathological reasons, which leads to a decrease in the diameter of the spinal canal, resulting in compression of the spinal cord, ponytail and nerves. It can cause pain in the lesion site, limited activity, numbness of the lower limbs, and even paralysis and weakness of the limbs. At present, the drugs for spinal stenosis are mainly used in clinical practice: one is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, which reduce local inflammatory reactions and play an analgesic role; the second is nerve nutrition drugs to improve numbness symptoms; the third is some drugs that promote blood circulation, eliminate blood stasis, and relieve pain to reduce local inflammatory reactions and achieve the purpose of analgesia. Some muscle relaxants, such as eperisone, are also used clinically to relieve local muscle tension. Some antidepressants act on the central nervous system and have a certain therapeutic effect on spinal stenosis.
