He underwent invasive surgery for spinal stenosis. After the operation, his world changed. The next day He was able to walk and felt the agility of his legs again. He felt no pain and began again to hope for the journey he had long desired. The incision was noticeable. Three months after the operation, he regrets only one thing.
Why did he go to the doctor so late?
He was afraid of the operation. He's heard of so many patients who don't recover from back surgery, is in constant pain, or are bedridden forever.
Spine surgery has undergone massive development in recent decades. The results of the surgery have improved. Nevertheless, there is a great fear of spine surgery. This is due to a lack of information about spine diseases and their treatment. Some pain may have simple answers, such as physical therapy and mild lifestyle modifications.
Only very few patients with back pain require surgery, less than 1%. With advances in spine surgery, especially invasive or keyhole spine surgery, the psychological and physical trauma during the recovery phase has also been reduced. Despite all these facts, there is so much concern surrounding spine surgery. Many patients don't even see a doctor because of such misplaced concerns. This needs to be solved with the help of media campaigns.
So if you have been ignoring your back problem for a long time, it is better to see a specialist. Imagine a life without pain and stop suffering. Don't worry even if you have to undergo a procedure as well, and trust your doctor. Very few patients have recurrent problems after back surgery, and there is a high probability that you do not fall into this category.
