Because of baseless misconceptions and myths about spine surgery , people are scared and do not seek surgical treatment early. By the time they are willing for it, its too late as nerves get irrevesibly damaged. 95 % of patients with slip disc problem get better with non operative measures like medicines, rest, Physiotherapy, Excercise and sometimes Epidural injections. Only 5 % of patients need surgery.Best results of surgery are usually is seen in those patients who get operated within 6 to 9 months of start of symptoms before any permanent numbness or weakness develops. If nerves are compressed for long time some irreversible changes develop in them. These changes do not revert back even after decompression. In theses patients even after surgery there is residual numbness or weakness seen after surgery. By doing surgery a Surgeon is just decompressingthe nerves. So if a nerve is already damaged the symptoms may not improve. Thats why patients are advised surgery before development of permanat deficit. Spine surgery is not Dangerous. When done properly in right patient at the right time, results are excellent.
