There are so many symptoms of lumbar ligament strain

The lumbar spine is a very important part of the human body. There are many reasons that can cause lumbar pain in daily life. If it is not identified and treated in time, it is likely to cause extremely serious harm to the body. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand the symptoms of various diseases that cause lumbar pain. So what are the symptoms of lumbar ligament strain? Let’s take a look at it together below!

The patient will experience low back pain immediately after the injury, which is persistent and severe. The next day, the low back pain may become more severe due to local bleeding, swelling, and low back pain. Some patients only slightly twist their waist and do not feel obvious pain at the time, but feel low back pain the next day after resting. The waist is limited in movement and cannot be straightened. It is difficult to bend, stretch, and twist. The pain is aggravated by coughing, sneezing, urinating, or defecating.

When standing, people often hold their waist with their hands, and when sitting, they support themselves on the chair with both hands to relieve pain. After the lumbar muscle is sprained, pain will occur immediately on one or both sides; sometimes the pain may not appear until half a day or overnight after the injury, and the movement of the waist is restricted. The pain is slightly lighter when at rest, but more severe when moving or coughing. During the examination, local muscle tension, tenderness and traction pain were obvious, but there was no congestion.

Symptoms of lumbar ligament sprain

Acute lumbar sprain is an acute tear caused by sudden excessive stretching of the waist muscles, fascia, ligaments and other soft tissues due to external force. It often occurs when lifting heavy objects or the waist muscles are strongly contracted. Acute lumbar sprain can tear the attachment points of the lumbar and sacral muscles, periosteum, fascia, ligaments and other tissues.

The main symptoms of lumbar sprain are:

1. Pain: It is often caused by tears in the lumbar disc membrane, iliolumbar ligament, sacroiliac joint and sacrospinalis muscle.

2. Limited lumbar movement: Some people experience unbearable pain at the time, while others only start to feel pain the next morning. Difficulty turning over, slow gait, and limited waist movement.

3. Local tenderness: The waist muscles are tightened and spasmed, with obvious tenderness points, mostly between the transverse processes of the fourth or fifth lumbar vertebrae and the ilium, or in the midline of the lumbar sacral region.

4. Bleeding: There is bleeding, edema, exudation, etc. around the above-mentioned tissues.

After understanding the symptoms of acute lumbar sprain, everyone must pay attention to protecting the waist in their daily lives. When the waist is sprained, you must first maintain a comfortable posture and rest quietly. At the same time, you should avoid lying on your back with your legs stretched out. This will not only increase the pain, but may also cause numbness in the feet.
