We are now going to look at the answer to a very common question. Most of my patients ask me this question.
Is surgery the only solution for back pain?
What are we referring to when we say 'the back'. The back not only consists of nerves. It also contains bones and muscles surrounding the bones. So whether it is the bones, nerves or muscles, wherever the problem is, you will experience it as back pain.
Now, in senior citizens, the problem is usually due to bone problems or bone erosion. If the bone is not strong, it can result in pain. At a younger age, say 20 or 30,
the problem is usually with the nerve or the muscles. It may be due to wrong posture, sitting for long periods at the computer or phone, or if we travel a long distance
if you travel on a two-wheeler, and the road is bad. In situations like that, strained muscles can lead to pain.
So how to differentiate these 3 types of pain? Is the bone causing pain? Or is it the muscles or nerves? That is what we doctors can diagnose and tell you.
If it is only muscle pain, some tablets can cure you. If the bones are the cause of pain, some bone problems can be treated with medicine. Some may need surgical solutions.
We suggest surgery only when there is a problem with the nerves. Out of every 100 patients, only 10 will have back pain due to the nerves in the back. Only those 10 people will need surgery. All the others can be treated using medication.
So, when should you consult a doctor? You may think pain due to nerves will be healed by using a hot towel massage or by applying Iodex or some other balm. You will believe it will get healed. But if the pain persists for a longer time, suppose the pain is due to the nerves, it is possible you may lose function in your legs. You may be unable to walk.
So, in the initial stage of your pain, go and consult a neuro doctor, a spine or neurosurgeon. They will be able to diagnose the root cause of the pain. If the problem is the nervous system, you should get treatment immediately.
