BACK PAIN OPTIONS
There are many San Jose back pain relief plan options! New research discloses some interesting findings. Let us look at 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 using Tylenol and taking powerful opioid drugs. (1) Melatonin protects the intervertebral disc’s nucleus pulposus cells from apoptosis (cell death) and stopped 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 observed in all of 9 patients who experienced back pain and sciatic leg pain, declined back surgery, and had no motor deficit! It took a mean of about 8.7 months. Clinical relief with conservative treatment took a mean of just 5.7 weeks. (3) That’s exciting news! The discs resorbed.
BACK SURGERY DECISIONS
What compels a patient to pick San Jose 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 decide may be rushed because of scheduling when the patient is one who needs time to really think about the options. The patient’s not wanting to upset the system, disappoint the healthcare provider by rejecting recommended treatment. The patient’s past experiences with treatment options as undertaken 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 big, complex decision.
