Introduction
Leg nerve problems may be caused by sciatica, piriformis syndrome, lumbar disc herniation, or other conditions, and timely medical treatment at a hospital is necessary. Most cases of sciatica are secondary to injury of the local and surrounding structures of the sciatic nerve, leading to irritation or compression of the nerve. Treatment may include medications such as Yaotongning Capsules or Lornoxicam tablets.
Leg nerve problems may be caused by sciatica, piriformis syndrome, lumbar disc herniation, or other reasons, and timely medical treatment at a hospital is necessary. Specific details are as follows:
1. Sciatica
The vast majority of sciatica cases are secondary to local or surrounding structural damage that causes irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, potentially leading to nerve injury. Treatment may include medications such as Yaotongning Capsules or Lornoxicam Tablets under a doctor's guidance.
2. Piriformis Syndrome
This condition may be related to long-term fatigue or excessive hip joint movement, which can compress and irritate the sciatic nerve, causing local swelling and pain. Treatment may include medications such as Clopidogrel Hydrogen Sulfate Tablets or Pramipexole Hydrochloride Tablets under medical supervision.
3. Lumbar Disc Herniation
If patients sit at a desk for prolonged periods without proper posture, nerves may be severely compressed and irritated, resulting in pain, numbness, and other symptoms in the lower limbs. Medications such as Biqi Capsules or Tongluo Huoxue Capsules may be used under a doctor’s guidance for treatment.
In addition to the above causes, nerve tumors may also be responsible. It is important to get adequate rest and avoid strenuous physical activity.
