Patient's question:
If appears again, it can be treated with a topical ointment, which has no significant impact. In most cases, if reoccurs, a thorough examination is needed to determine the underlying cause. If is present, oral nerve-nourishing medications should be taken. Additionally, if the pain is severe, pain relievers can be used. Generally, topical ointments can help improve blood circulation and serve as a complementary treatment method.Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if the problem of sciatica recurs, it is highly likely to be directly related to a herniated intervertebral disc. It is recommended that you consider visiting a hospital promptly for a lumbar spine CT scan to further clarify the issue. If significant stenosis is observed, it is advisable to consider timely medication treatment, such as applying patches.
