What is it about hyperostosis with disc lesions

Bone hyperplasia with intervertebral disc lesions is a degenerative disease, which is related to aging, overwork, trauma and other factors, and if not treated in time, symptoms such as degenerative scoliosis of the spine, lumbar disc herniation, numbness of the lower limbs, and muscle weakness may occur, so it needs to be actively treated.

1. Reason: Bone hyperplasia is an irreversible process, so bone hyperplasia with intervertebral disc lesions is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. With age, the functions of all parts of the body will gradually degenerate and age, and the intervertebral disc will gradually degenerate due to long-term wear and tear, resulting in bone hyperplasia with intervertebral disc lesions, which are more common in the lumbar spine and cervical spine;

2. Symptoms: It is mostly manifested as different degrees of spinal degenerative changes, such as degenerative scoliosis of the spine, the scoliosis of the spinous process at the lesion site becomes sharp, and there is a bone bridge formation between the adjacent spinous processes, which can be accompanied by intervertebral disc lesions, compression of spinal nerve roots, and neuralgia symptoms. If one nerve root is compressed, it can be manifested as unilateral upper limb pain and numbness, and if bilateral nerve root is compressed, it can be manifested as pain and numbness in both lower limbs.

3. Treatment: Mainly to alleviate symptoms, such as the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and anti-inflammatory analgesia, as well as glucosamine hydrochloride capsules and other drugs to nourish joint cartilage, when severe joint degeneration occurs, surgical treatment can be carried out according to the doctor's instructions, such as artificial cervical disc replacement, lamineplasty, etc. For patients who compress nerves, they can be treated with drugs that nourish nerves such as methylcobalamin tablets as prescribed by the doctor;

4. Precautions: You need to pay attention to rest, avoid long-term fatigue or strenuous exercise, minimize local stimulation, and pay attention to keeping warm. At the same time, it is recommended to eat light, easy-to-digest foods and avoid spicy, irritating foods.
