Woman complains of pain after receiving injection to treat lumbar spine

If female friends find that they have lumbar pain, they will use injections to relax and relieve the pain. This can temporarily improve the patient's quality of life, but female friends will feel abnormal pain during the injection process. This is a very common reaction. Do not use injections for treatment unless it is absolutely necessary. This can only relieve the pain and cannot achieve any possibility of cure.

1. Blind manipulation and massage: Many patients will go for massage when they have symptoms of lower back pain. Tuina and acupressure can indeed relax the meridians, loosen muscles and relieve pain. However, if the massage or acupressure technique is improper, it will not only fail to relieve the pain, but will also cause muscle and ligament injuries, thereby aggravating the condition. Therefore, if you use massage or acupressure therapy, you must find a professional doctor.

2. Failure to adhere to treatment: Some patients stop treatment after feeling that their symptoms have been alleviated after a period of treatment. However, you will often feel symptoms such as soreness in the waist and difficulty bending over soon after, which will make the condition worse. Therefore, patients with lumbar spondylosis must persist in treatment and must not terminate treatment without authorization.

3. Dependence on drugs for pain relief: Some patients rely on drugs for pain relief, but taking medicine actually has little effect on lumbar spondylosis. It can only temporarily relieve pain and not cure the root cause. Long-term medication can also cause symptoms such as gastrointestinal ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, and renal insufficiency.

4. Get surgery for low back pain: Lumbar spondylosis seriously endangers the patient's health, but try not to use surgical treatment. Since the lumbar spine has a large range of motion and surgery is a invasive treatment, this area will become fragile after surgery and the patient may also lose the ability to bend.

Get some rest. Rest can release the tension and pressure accumulated in various parts of the body, ensure body coordination, and reduce the chances of various acute pains.

Exercise your lower back muscles. Since about 70% of patients suffer from spinal disc herniation, disc herniation can be reduced by exercising the waist and back muscles. When pain occurs, you should go to a specialist to correctly identify the pain symptoms in your body.

When it comes to prevention, some simple methods can work.

Swimming is a very good form of exercise. In addition, you can go to the gym and choose equipment that specifically exercises the waist and back muscles. In addition, there are the five-point support method (lying flat on your back, using your elbows and heels to support your body weight in an arch shape) and the backward walking method (to fully exercise your waist and back muscles). If the waist and back muscles are well developed, it is equivalent to wrapping a natural waist belt around the waist, which can play an important protective role for the waist and back.

Maintain a correct posture while working, and occasionally massage your waist and legs, or do some gymnastics to relieve tension in your waist muscles. From the time you get off work to the time you go to bed at night, you should be aware that sitting for a long time is bad for your waist and can easily cause back pain, so watch less TV after meals.

1. Maintain good living habits to prevent your waist and legs from getting cold and avoid excessive fatigue.

2. Stand or sit in the correct posture. An abnormal spinal column can cause uneven stress on the intervertebral discs, which is a hidden cause of intervertebral disc herniation. The correct posture should be "stand like a pine tree, sit like a bell", with the chest lifted and the waist straight. The same posture should not be maintained for too long. Appropriate in-place activities or waist and back exercises can relieve fatigue in the waist and back muscles.
