BACK PAIN OPTIONS
There are many Groton back pain relief plan options! New research reveals some interesting findings. Let us 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 halted disc degeneration. (2) Melatonin does this. There’s 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, rejected back surgery, and demonstrated 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’s rousing news! The discs resorbed.
BACK SURGERY DECISIONS
What makes a patient pick Groton 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 rushed because of scheduling when the patient is one who requires time to really think about the options. 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 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.
