Question:
Answers:
What is spinal disc syndrome? If it's degenerative disc disease, herniated disc, inflamed disc, hot disc, or bad disc, do not do the surgery. Get a second opinion. Get a third opinion. Consult with a chiropractor, they can help you correct the problem that caused the disc issue. Consult a physical therapist, they can work on relieving the pain. Consult a massage therapist. Keep consulting until you find someone who says the surgery isn't necessary, there is another, more effective, safer way that has lasting results. There is no turning back from surgery. In fact, failed back syndrome refers to the surgery that went wrong and the individual still has problems. I had a new patient come see me last week who has had 2 neck surgeries. I asked her why she did the second surgery if the first one didn't work. She replied, the surgeon was certain that it was going to work the second time. She regrets this every day. I am going to be able to herlp her, but she will never return to 100%. This is a big decision to make, research it thoroughly. You are the one that has to live with it.
Good luck
i don't know what spinal disc syndrome is exactly. But i was diagnosed w/degenerated cervical spine discs...is it different? They told me that surgery would be the only was to "fix" it and i said NO WAY! Let me know what u find out!
hey i am not sure if spinal disc syndrome is the same thing as degenerate disk disease (which is what I have)...but there is no successful surgeries i mean they can do surgery and probably take away some of the pressure but otherwise most surgery's are only 65% successful...which means of course you would still be on pain meds..that's why most doctors now a days depending on your situation are opting to wait...just because everyday technology gets better and better...i am 25 for awhile i had a hard time getting my pain undercontrol and my doctor mentioned surgery...i almost gave in but i am glad that i didn't because now my pain is getting better and i am building up strength in my left side so all is well...i can only wish the best for you...and if you doctor knows what kind of situation you are in then most likely all they are going to want to do is make you as comfortable as possible...so good luck and i hope that you find your answer and that this helps...
