Re: Think 1000 times before deciding about spine surgery.

[Guest guest]

While the below post is obviously someone planting seeds on different groups to

sell a book, I have to second everything in regards to avoiding surgery. I see

people become pain free every day and the hardest ones to work with are those

who have had surgeries where equipment was removed or fused... -D

Think 1000 times before deciding about spine surgery.

You may be considering surgery if you suffer from sciatica, herniated discs,

as well as a host of other back and neck problem. Well, before you go under the

knife, you should know that there may be some serious surgical side effects that

your doctor isn't telling you about.

In the United States today, over 250,000 surgeries are performed each year,

and this number only accounts for lower back surgery. Many health experts agree

that most operations are either premature or unnecessary and most operations are

unsuccessful. Many people are unaware of the dangers surgery can impose.

Consider this, Dr. Arthur White, a respected surgeon, states:

" I make my living on cleaning up the messes of other surgeons who have

operated prematurely with inadequate diagnosis and inadequate training. "

Failed back surgery syndrome(FBSS) is one of many issues directly attributed

to surgery. FBSS is a condition that culminates from failed spinal surgery.

Unfortunately, this problem is extremely common and something the average

patient hears little about until it's too late. FBSS sufferers generally

experience pain and mobility that is actually worse than it was prior to

surgery.

Whether you suffer from upper, lower, or middle back pain, neck pain, sciatic

nerve problems, herniated discs, neck tension, chronic pain, or just general

backache, there is hope for you that does not involve expensive and painful

surgery, and does not involve the use of dangerous NSAID medications.

So, if you care about your overall health, and you're seeking a safer and more

effective treatment for your back and neck pain, you will be pleased to know

that there are many natural healing options available to you, such as healing

through targeted neck pain back pain exercises, specific alternative treatments

and lots more.

Most people turn to their doctors to find relief and to obtain varying

remedies for pain, but did you know there are dangers related to common

treatments that your doctor likely isn't telling you. That's right. Your quest

to eliminate your bad back and neck pain could be causing you more harm than

good.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDS, are one common remedy for

chronic back pain and neck pain. It is extremely common for neck and back pain

treatment seekers to pop a few ibuprofen or aspirin in the hopes of finding pain

relief. In some extreme cases, while awaiting risky surgery, many people will

embrace a treatment planof NSAIDS!

Believe it or not, the pitfalls of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as

well as surgery, are staggering. According to a recent article in Science Daily:

" The mortality rate from NSAID complications is higher than that of serious

diseases like cervical cancer and AIDS. "

NSAIDs have been known as contributory to high blood pressure, stomach and

intestinal bleeding, ulcers, kidney and liver problems.

In fact, a study published in the American Gastroenterological Association

Journal stated that 71 percent of people who took some form of NSAID medication

for 3 months, a mere ninety days, or more experienced problems with their small

intestines.

These complications merely scratch the surface and are second only to the

untold complications a vast majority of suffering patients experience after

undergoing surgery.

Remember, knowledge is power. When it comes to your neck and back

paintreatment, ask lots of questions and don't settle for unclear advice or

undergo treatment on which you've been ill informed. You only get one body;

embrace your power and protect yourself.

I got rid of back pain and sciatica etc. by some techniques which focus on the

primary causes and not the secondary or illusive ones. At least 3 top orthopedic

surgeons had prescribed spine surgery for my same problem.

It is up to you to decide.

This is one of those posts that got by because I didn't read it far enough to

see what it really was about, back surgery, and not anything to do with

gallstones, liver or intestines, I only read the first paragraph and it appeared

to be on track regarding our group's main focus. I ban these people as soon as I

find out about their real agenda. So I apologize for this getting by me.
