BACK PAIN OPTIONS
There are lots of Fort Wayne back pain relief plan options! New research reveals some fascinating findings. Let’s consider 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 taking powerful opioid drugs. (1) Melatonin protects 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 study? 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 demonstrated no motor deficit! It took a mean of about 8.7 months. Clinical relief with conservative treatment came about in a mean of just 5.7 weeks. (3) That’s exciting news! The discs resorbed.
BACK SURGERY DECISIONS
What makes a patient pick Fort Wayne back surgery over other options? The patient’s ideas about the treatment may be based on insufficient information. The time required for a patient to make a decision may be hurried because of scheduling when the patient is one who requires time to really think about the decision. The patient’s not wanting to distress the system, upset the healthcare provider by rejecting recommended treatment. The patient’s earlier experiences with treatment options as taken by relatives or friends and the resulting 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.
