BACK PAIN OPTIONS
There are lots of Sitka back pain relief plan options! Recent research shares some fascinating findings. Let’s look at opioids and Tylenol for back pain relief. There is no difference in low back pain relief and radicular extremity pain (leg pain sciatica) relief between taking Tylenol and using powerful opioid drugs. (1) Melatonin protects the intervertebral disc’s nucleus pulposus cells from apoptosis (cell death) and blocked disc degeneration. (2) Melatonin does 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 felt back pain and sciatic leg pain, rejected 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 pick Sitka back surgery over other options? The patient’s ideas about the treatment may be based on inadequate information. The time required for a patient to make a decision may be rushed because of scheduling when the patient is one who needs time to really think about the decision. The patient’s not wanting to upset the system, disappoint the healthcare provider by refusing recommended treatment. The patient’s past experiences with treatment options as chosen 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 considerably complex decision.
