How is endoscopic disc excesion for lumber disc prolapse?

Question

Disc prolapse in L4- L5.
Leg pain, scitica

Answer 1

I used to work in an OR that did this type of surgery.....Depends on the doctor...If your nerves are already shot from long-term problem, you will only receive a measure of relief, if it is fairly new, you should completely resolve. It is amazing how simple and short-term the recovery is from this surgery...Good Luck!

Answer 2

Alternative with out the surgery - See a chiropractor and massage therapist


Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.
