What should I do if a herniated disc is pressing on my ankle and causing pain?

For ankle pain caused by disc herniation with nerve compression, the following treatment options are recommended: 1. General treatment: Bed rest, reduction of physical strain, and avoidance of strenuous activities to relieve clinical symptoms. 2. Physical therapy: Under a doctor's guidance, apply heat therapy, massage, or traction to promote local blood circulation and alleviate nerve compression symptoms. 3. Medication: Take anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules or diclofenac sodium sustained-release capsules as prescribed. Topical analgesic patches may also be applied locally to relieve pain. 4. Surgical treatment: When clinical symptoms are severe, surgical options such as discectomy under spinal endoscopy or total laminectomy may be considered. The specific treatment method should be determined based on the severity of the condition and the doctor's recommendations.
