Hello, my son (he is 20 years old, a student) was recently diagnosed with an intervertebral hernia. Until that time, he had never complained of severe back pain (and now he says that pain is only when bending over), and the pain does not radiate to his legs. Back pain began 4 months ago, and it is not constant, there is no pain in other parts of the body, except for the lower back, the medicine was not taken, not treated, because it did not bother me. He went in for sports 1.5 years ago for about a year, lifted barbells, rocked muscles, himself, without a coach. But he says that at that time his back did not hurt. But 9 months ago he had problems with his studies, broke up with his girlfriend, and he became depressed, did not leave home for almost 3 months (psychological stress) and we took an academic leave. But now, for the 2nd month, the psychological state has returned to normal. When we went to the neurosurgeon, he said that we need to operate, since we have a sequestered hernia. We are in shock, we do not know what to do. We do not want the operation ourselves, because the lower back does not hurt, he does not complain. There have never been any obvious symptoms of an intervertebral hernia, especially a sequestered hernia (numbness, problems urinating, pain in the buttocks) (therefore, we cannot understand why the disease developed so quickly to such a stage). Do you think we can start conservative treatment now and hopes to improve? Help, tell us, please, what to do ??? What's in store for us? Will physiotherapy, manual massage, exercise therapy, swimming help us?

Hello. At this stage (in the absence of neurological symptoms), you can limit yourself to stretching the spine. Decompression of the lumbar spine is easily achieved with a relaxed hanging on the horizontal bar. Local pain and discomfort can be controlled by avoiding axial loads, forward bending, and lifting. For symptomatic treatment, meloxicam (up to 15 mg per day) or any other NSAID (in the absence of contraindications) is suitable.

Prescribed medication and received rehabilitation treatment. We see no results in the treatment. Attached is the epicrisis and conclusion of the MRI study Please tell me what methods of treatment can be in this case.

Hello. With this type of congenital brain damage, the process of the normal functioning of the nervous tissue is initially disrupted, which manifests itself in the weakening of its control functions and is often accompanied by epilepsy. Only symptomatic treatment is possible (work with a pediatric neurologist, psychiatrist, speech therapist, anticonvulsants, massage therapy, physiotherapy, etc.).

Hello. The cause of the numbness should be established. It can be the impaired central type (damage to an area of the brain or spinal cord), or of a peripheral type (damage at the level of the cervical spine - the nerve exit points, the brachial plexus itself). Only then can a specific treatment be planned.
