Postural lumbar and leg pain

　　There are many causes of postural lumbar and leg pain, such as various congenital or acquired lower limb deformities. Common ones include congenital or acquired dislocation or stiffness of the hip joint, one limb shortening or developmental deformity, congenital or acquired deformities of the spine, spinal tuberculosis, fractures, various congenital or acquired spinal curvature, adolescent kyphosis, etc. The balance center, in order to obtain the balance of the trunk, so that the load line does not exceed the center of gravity too much, and at the same time compensate for the shortening of the lower limbs, the lumbar spine must frequently change its original curvature, increase the physiological anterior protrusion or lateral curvature of the lumbar spine, to compensate for the defects in posture. As a result, patients gradually feel pain in the lower back, develop chronic lumbar pain due to overuse injury, and even produce traumatic arthritis of the lumbar spine.

　　Postural lumbar and leg pain mainly appears as a symptom rather than the disease itself. Many diseases can cause postural lumbar and leg pain, so the complications of this disease are mainly caused by its primary disease, such as congenital diseases and deformities of the spine, spinal tuberculosis, etc. In these cases, the lumbar spine must frequently change its original curvature, increase the physiological anterior protrusion or lateral curvature of the lumbar spine, to compensate for the defects in posture. As a result, patients gradually feel pain in the lower back, develop chronic lumbar pain due to overuse injury, and even produce traumatic arthritis of the lumbar spine.

　　Early symptoms of postural lumbar leg pain include pain during lumbar movement, which subsides after rest. Subsequently, lumbar pain worsens when starting activity after rest, and it must continue to move slowly for several minutes before it can subside. However, if the activity is prolonged, the lumbar pain and weakness prevent continued work. It is impossible to maintain any position for too long, and it is necessary to change positions frequently. As symptoms continue to worsen, there is a sense of lumbar muscle tension and functional restriction, and even difficulty in lumbar movement, as slight trauma can worsen the existing lower back pain.

　　Since postural lumbar leg pain often appears as a complication of other diseases, such as congenital spinal diseases, trauma, spinal tuberculosis, etc., actively treating the primary disease is helpful for the prevention of this disease.

　　The examination of postural lumbar leg pain mainly includes physical examination and X-ray examination. Physical examination can find that the lumbar spine loses its inherent physiological curvature, lumbar scoliosis, and increased physiological forward bulging. X-ray examination can find narrowing of the intervertebral space, marginal marginal hyperplasia of the vertebral body, increased bone density, and even the upper and lower bone spurs connected together, causing spinal stiffness.

　　Patients with postural lumbar leg pain should eat more vitamins and fiber. Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and the B vitamin group are essential nutrients for the human body, but some fat-soluble vitamins are prone to deficiency, so it is appropriate to eat some milk, rice bran, bran, carrots, and other fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement.
