Preface
The lights of the city are fading and the night is falling.
A rush of footsteps was heard, cutting off the silence of the night.
Mr. Yang panted and walked on the sidewalk, his left hand clutching his waist.
The 45-year-old businessman had been suffering from severe back pain for half a month, and at first he thought it was just a minor problem caused by overwork.
Recently, however, the pain has become worse and worse, and I often can't sleep at night.
He was worried about whether he had some terminal illness, and bursts of cold sweat flowed down.
Mr. Yang opened the door of the house, and his wife, Ms. Song, saw his embarrassed appearance and hurriedly stepped forward:
"What's wrong? What's going on with you?" Mr. Yang forced a smile and barely squeezed out a smile:
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I've been too tired lately, and my lumbar muscles are just strained."
Although Ms. Song was coaxed by his words, she was still faintly uneasy in her heart.
She stared at her husband's emaciated face, her eyes full of worry.
Mr. Yang was secretly glad that as a businessman, he did not need to work for a long time, otherwise the back pain would be boring.
However, when he went to work the next day, a sharp pain suddenly appeared, and he had to take half a day off in a hurry.
Whenever the back pain attacks, the tearing pain will spread from the waist to the whole body, making him sweat coldly and painfully.
Since then, Mr. Yang has often been in pain at work, and his work efficiency and quality of life have been greatly reduced.
Mr. Yang was finally persuaded by his wife to go to see a famous doctor.
After a series of examinations, the doctor frowned and said to Mr. Yang: "Your condition is more serious, this is no longer as simple as an ordinary muscle strain.
Your lumbar disc herniated has pressed on the nerve roots, triggering a sharp pain response. If left untreated, you are at risk of paralysis of the lower limbs. "
Mr. Yang was startled, and his face turned pale. The doctor sighed and continued, "There are many causes of lumbar disc herniation, such as sitting for a long time, heavy physical labor, obesity, etc.
However, in your case, I suspect that it is caused by the stress of long-term life.
The 'scrappy' pace of life in our modern society often makes people physically and mentally exhausted.
The lumbar intervertebral disc is like a 'cushion' for our body, and it is easy to cause degeneration or herniation when subjected to too much pressure for a long time. "
It dawned on Mr. Yang that he had been under a lot of pressure at work recently, and he often worked overtime late into the night, neglecting his own health.
The doctor continued, "A herniated disc is not a terminal disease, and it is possible to recover with conservative treatment and surgery.
But only if it is detected and intervened as early as possible. He shook his head helplessly, "Many people don't seek medical treatment until low back pain seriously affects their lives, and they miss the best time for treatment."
Some are even diagnosed as already paralyzed, and then it's too late. "
Back at home, Mr. Yang sat heavily on the sofa with mixed feelings.
Ms. Song sat on the sidelines, her face full of worry. Mr. Yang said with difficulty: "The doctor said that my lumbar disc herniation is already very serious, and if it is not treated in time, I am afraid that I will be paralyzed......
It's because I'm too conceited that it took so long to go to the doctor. Ms. Song hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, the doctors all said that as long as it is treated as soon as possible, there is still hope for recovery." You need to be optimistic and actively cooperate with the treatment. "
Mr. Yang nodded, his eyes a little firmer. Yes, even if the road is tortuous, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, never give up.
Although a herniated lumbar disc is a serious headache, it is not incurable.
Through a combination of physiotherapy, medication control, and minimally invasive surgery, most patients are able to regain their health.
Prevention is the best treatment. In daily life, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, exercise appropriately, and maintain a good posture;
Avoid being in a single position for a long time when working, and keep your back straight when sitting;
Pay attention to protective ...... during outdoor activities Only by starting from all aspects of life can we truly stay away from the stubborn disease of lumbar disc herniation.
A few months later, Mr. Yang returned to work. Although he has pain in his back from time to time, his symptoms are completely under control with regular physiotherapy and painkillers.
What's even more gratifying is that his life has also changed dramatically - he began to exercise every week, and he will also move his body regularly at work; Travel whenever you have time and live a healthier lifestyle.
Mr. Yang said with deep feeling: "Being sick is a valuable lesson, and I will never force myself to get through it again. Health is our greatest asset, and nothing is more precious than it. "
