BACK PAIN OPTIONS
There are many St Peters back pain relief plan options! Recent research reveals some fascinating findings. Let’s consider opioids and Tylenol for back pain relief. There’s no difference in low back pain relief and radicular extremity pain (leg pain sciatica) relief between taking Tylenol and taking powerful opioid drugs. (1) Melatonin guards the intervertebral disc’s nucleus pulposus cells from apoptosis (cell death) and halted disc degeneration. (2) Melatonin accomplishes this. There is hope for disc degeneration’s reversal. And what about this report? Spontaneous resorption of a lumbar herniated disc seen on MRI was seen in all of 9 patients who experienced back pain and sciatic leg pain, refused back surgery, and had no motor deficit! It required a mean of about 8.7 months. Clinical relief with conservative treatment came about in a mean of just 5.7 weeks. (3) That is rousing news! The discs resorbed.
BACK SURGERY DECISIONS
What compels a patient to decide on St Peters back surgery over other options? The patient’s ideas about the treatment may be based on inadequate information. The time it takes a patient to make a decision may be hurried because of scheduling when the patient is one who needs time to really think about the decision. The patient’s not wanting to distress the system, disappoint the healthcare provider by refusing recommended treatment. The patient’s earlier experiences with treatment options as taken by relatives or friends and the resultant good or bad outcomes. Choosing back surgery or a non-surgical treatment plan for low back and/or leg pain due to a disc herniation is a big, complex decision.
