Patients with lumbar spine compression causing left leg pain typically recover fully within approximately three weeks. However, if pain persists, patients may, under a physician’s guidance, take blood-activating and stasis-resolving medications, possibly combined with analgesics to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, rehabilitation exercises can be incorporated into daily life as part of the treatment regimen.
