is it ok to go ahead with my scheduled back surgery if though I have come down with shingles? is it safe?
Question:
Answers:
You need to ask your surgeon/doctor about this. They may not want to put your body under extra stress while you have a flare-up of shingles. It may increase the risks of the procedure, and also make it take longer for you to recovery once it's over. Best to be honest with your doctor and ask them what they want you to do.
Other Answers:
That's a question you might want to ask your doctor. He'll have more information on that than the average person on this sight.
ask your doctor but I wouldn't.
i would say it depends on what stae the shingles are currently in at the time of surgery.
if the shingles are active, they are highly contagious, and probably isnt a good idea to go into surgery while they are active/contagious. you know they are contagious when the bumps that form as a result of shingles are still pus-filled. if they are inactive though, surgery may be ok. inactive shingles do not have pus-filled pustules and are beginning to dry out and go away.
just ask your doctor to be sure.
Two of my patients have got spinal surgery in India.One was treated for spondylolistheis by spinal fusion and the other for disc replacement.Both of them are very happy with the results.Their pain and other symptoms due to nerve compression have totally gone.
Spinal Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges spine surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as spine surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.
The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your spine surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.both my patients had gone to India through the forerunners healthcare company.i strongly recommend you to talk to this company,checkout your options with surgery from them.
