What causes the bone under the collarbone to protrude?

Under normal circumstances, the clavicles on both sides of the neck are aligned and the height is the same. However, many office white-collar workers now often find that the clavicles on both sides are uneven and there are symptoms of bone protrusion underneath. At this time, we must be especially careful and it is related to lumbar disc herniation. Long-term sitting causes deformation of the lumbar spine, which affects the normal bone development, so it will cause the bone under the clavicle to protrude. For this, we need to understand the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.

1. Lumbar disc herniation can cause limping: limping is mostly intermittent, that is, pain and weakness in the lower limbs will occur after walking a certain distance. The symptoms can be relieved after bending over or squatting to rest, and the patient can continue to walk. As time goes by, the symptoms gradually worsen. The standing time or walking distance before the above symptoms appear will gradually shorten. The shorter the walking distance, the more serious the condition.

2. Lumbar disc herniation can cause low back and leg pain: Low back and leg pain is prone to occur after trauma, fatigue, or cold, and each pain lasts about 2 to 3 weeks and can gradually ease. The pain often eases if you rest in bed during an attack. Any factors that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, straining during bowel movements, laughing, sneezing, lifting heavy objects, chronic coughing, etc., can easily induce low back and leg pain, or aggravate existing low back and leg pain.

3. Lumbar disc herniation can cause numbness: Some patients with lumbar disc herniation will experience numbness in their limbs. The outer thigh is a common area of ​​numbness. There may be a burning sensation when clothes come into contact with it, and standing for a long time can aggravate the numbness.

4. Lumbar disc herniation will cause limited movement. Because the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus compresses the nerve roots, the psoas muscles become protectively tense, which can occur on one side or both sides. Due to the tension of the psoas muscles, the physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine disappears. The flexion and extension of the spine are restricted, and radiating pain to one side of the lower limb may occur during flexion or extension. Scoliosis is often limited on only one side, which can be used to distinguish it from lumbar tuberculosis or tumor.
