Disc fussion
Severe pain in lower Back Portion. Difficult to möge the Body. Consulted one year ago, Said About disc fussion
fusion surgery for localised back pain is offered only when a MRI reveals a degenerated black disc. You would like to know that even after a successful procedure 20-30% patients still continue to have some degree of back pain. This is because there are many causes that contribute to pain and surgery can take care of only a few of them. Typically the pain from a degenerated disc leads to pain during sitting for long , standing for long , changing positions etc.
Next Steps
I would strongly suggest you to modify your lifestyle and avoid movements that aggravate the pain. Do not lift weights more than 5 kgs, or sit on the floor. Avoid bending too much. Try yoga , physical therapy , acupuncture . If your pain persists and you are getting dependant on pain killers then only consider the surgery. Hope you find this helpful.
Health Tips
A good pain gel such as oxalgin nano gel and hot compression are simple and effective ways to deal with pain. Avoid pain Meds for a long time .
