Dr. Lin Yunfei
Lumbar osteophytosis can cause symptoms such as lower limb weakness, low back and leg pain, leg numbness, and restricted movement. Some people may also experience urinary dysfunction and lumbar muscle fatigue. When suffering from lumbar osteophytosis, avoid prolonged standing or walking in daily life to prevent worsening of the condition. Additionally, it is important to keep the lower back warm.
