NO I REPEAT NO i have hernatied idsc on the lumber 4 and 5 large hernations and my scaitca nerve all the way down my left leg i had the option for surgery but i got the epdruil injections it toke two times but i feel great surgery is not worth it cause they can revese what they cut ok?
Chiropractic should be your first stopSurgery is the last resort...always. You can't unboil a hard boiled egg. Surgery is permanent. Epidural injections will only mask the pain, they don't fix the cause. Thousands and thousands of people, every year, are able to reverse disc bulges by chiropractic care. These guys fix the problem at the biomechanical root. Pain relief is just a pleasant side effect. If your son is so young, then his body should have no problems making a great recovery.
Why not try a conservative, non-invasive approach first. Go more radical if your results aren't made. Too many people try an easy, conservative means after heavy drugs and expensive surgeries have left them back at square one.
im 20 yrs old, i had a buldgeing disk at l5 s1 and it hurt so bad i did the epidural injections as well i did a series of 3. the first one was worthless. the second one was for my sciatica nerve for my left leg pain and it helped, but my back pain was unbearable. the 3rd injection i had, i got 6 shots he was hitting every joint and the disc and he also hit the nerve one more time cause my leg pain had came back. then i went to a place where they hook you up to a machine and pull you apart to try and relive the pressure off the discs but that didnt help at all it made it worse. i had done physical theropy it made it worse. i just recently had a L5 S1 fusion and i feel great. its a whole different type of pain, the pain is from the surgery but other than the whole back pain its gone except where they cut and put the rods and screws. i was offered a artificial disc replacement but they only last about 10-15 years and then a fusion is required after that. this is what my doctor told me. but definantly surgery is last resort. if he can bear the pain then let him. i suggest the injections most definantly!!!Wiki User
