Is it safe to do surgery for nerve problem in the back?
Patient: My father,58 years is suffering from nerves problem in the back. Doctor has advised him three tablets for 1 month.Zymoflam-D, Rablet20 and Fibrogesic. Doctor has told if these medicine works then its fine otherwise only options that would be left is Operation. Is it safe to get operated at this age or is there any after effects. Please respond its urgent. What is the success rate for this opertaion. Doctor: Hello! thank you for writing us here.Well, a possible case of nerve compression at the back region. That's your concern right? If the medications doesn't make any difference, an operation would take a couple of hours to perform.they would remove some part of vertebrae which won't compress the nerves anymore.he'll get quick relief after the operation and success rates are high. Pain would be present for few weeks at the site of operation but it would subside with NSAIDs the doctor would prescribe. Rest the chances of relapse are low. best regards,Dr Gunjan
