Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a male, 35 years old this year. Because I have always been engaged in physical labor, I recently noticed severe back pain. The hospital conducted a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a herniated disc. Then, the damaged control nerves of the 12th vertebra will collapse in bed?Doctor's answer:
You are 35 years old. If you usually manage physical labor, it is inevitable that muscle fatigue may lead to a herniated disc. Because you have a condition where the T12 vertebra is damaged and controls the nerves, it is generally not likely to cause you to collapse in bed, but it may cause localized pain or abnormal muscle sensations. Therefore, it is recommended that you appropriately increase your workload and take some blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing medications, combined with physical therapy.
