Patient's question:
My child just started seventh grade. He is lively and energetic, and also quite smart. However, he was recently diagnosed with a lumbar disc protrusion. After walking just a few meters, he suddenly stops, and his legs hurt and tingle. About his past treatment and effectiveness: In the past, we didn't pay much attention to it. Sometimes he would mention his leg pain, thinking it was just from being playful and tired, and we never treated it. What kind of help is needed: He is currently hospitalized and cannot go to school, which is making us very anxious. We sincerely ask for everyone's help. We are truly grateful.Doctor's answer:
Now, children should definitely avoid strenuous exercise and pay attention to rest. If a diagnosis is made, it is essential to receive timely treatment. If the condition is not severe at the moment, acupuncture and moxibustion can be implemented first. Then, under the guidance of a doctor, functional exercises should be performed to prevent the occurrence of post-traumatic sequelae. It is best to sleep on a hard board.Thank you for the above suggestions on the question "How to treat pediatric lumbar disc herniation." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
