What's the good and bad points about back surgery?
I'm considering 3 alternatives. 1. Steroid injections for as long as they'll work 2. Spinal Fusion 3. Disk replacement

Can anyone give me some really good points on the pros and cons of each decision? I'm really all over the place in what to decide. I'm afraid of steroids and the quick fix and brittle bones but I'm also afraid of surgery. So which is the lesser of 2 evils?

Please be as specific as you can with personal experiences if you can and I'm not interested in Chiropractic care so please just stay with those options. Such a hard decision for me!

i've taken voltaren sr 100mg, 3 times a day and before, it reacts fast to ease off the pain and the swelling. but right now i've taken voltaren sr for almost 4 days and the pain and swelling is still there, with a little improvement on the pain.

I read on wikipedia that having scoliosis can cause you to have nose bleeds.

"Muscle tightness as caused by scoliosis (the tightened muscles cause blood vessels to become constricted, resulting in nosebleeds from the same side as the tightened muscles)."-Wikipedia

But because it is wikipedia I want someone to confirm to me that this is true. I have mild scoliosis and sometimes i have nose bleeds for no good reason.

I also want to know is there any over the counter drugs that can help me with my back pain.

it's not those super bad headaches, but it's really bothering and annoying.
it's located at my left temple, cant really discribe the pain, but if i focus a little harder i can feel a little pulsing.
i never get headaches before but this kind of headache is beginning to come pretty often now, and its really annoying and bothersome. it's not so painful that i have to lie down and stuff, but it really bothers me when im at school working or something.
is there a way i can get rid of it, even for temporary. does anyone know whats wrong with me. it does go away after a while, but i have no idea how long that while is.
thanks!!!

I am not sure what it could be.About 3 weeks ago i hit my lower left side on a piece of furniture..I went about my day and my whole lower abdomen hurt when i moved.Then it moved to my right side only.As the day went on the right side of my belly button and right under my belly button more to the right side was painful.I thought it was appendicitis(i think most people think that right away).After 5 days the pain went away for 4 days then it came back again.It was not painful and was not severe was just achy,enough so i would know the pain was there.It stopped for about a week.Then thursday it started up again,friday stopped and saturday started again,so i am nervous.Then i was not sure if it was appendicitis because it has been 3 weeks.Any thought on what it could be.Please let me know.Thanks!

I forgot to mention the pain is the middle right side and below my belly button not all the way over to the right & when i press on it the pain stays the same.

I'm 14, and I had dental surgery two days ago. My teeth and gums are killing me.

Would Tylenol Regular Strength work? Or would it be too strong for me? Ughhh.
