Dr. Lin Yunfei
Intervertebral disc herniation commonly presents with symptoms such as cervical pain, muscle atrophy, paralysis, lower limb pain, numbness, and restricted mobility. If left untreated, it may lead to complications including neuralgia and limb weakness. Under a physician’s guidance, patients may appropriately use medications such as meloxicam tablets, which effectively suppress inflammation and alleviate pain. In daily life, patients should also engage in moderate exercise while avoiding strenuous physical activity.
