I thought surgery was supposed to stop the chronic back pain; and before i get too far into it, I guess it does for many people. Then there are the others; the high number of people who experience additional, surprising, very painful for results during their recovery from back surgery. Painful results that can, and sometimes do, last a lifetime if not treated properly. What causes is this is a fairly generic term known as 'Failed Back Syndrome'.
If you are thinking about surgery for your chronic back pain you need to know about failed back syndrome which can sometimes occur during recovery from back surgery?. Failed Back Syndrome (FBS) is a term for the lingering persistent pain which happens after back surgery. It can sometimes include a dull, aching pain in the back that becomes chronic and this is way more common than you may think.
There are many causes of FBS some of them include:
* Wrong Diagnosis
* Muscular deconditioning
* Anxiety
* Scar tissue pulling on the nerves
* Residual disc herniation
The pain can vary during and after recovery from back surgery depending on the procedure and the pain ranges from dull to stabbing. Not very good news for those of us who have chronic back pain and thought surgery was our last or only option.
The interesting thing is, and this can seem to be counter intuitive, is that when back surgery can be avoided, we can avoid the long term discomfort of Failed Back Syndrome.
That brings about the obvious question; How Do I Avoid Back Surgery? The thing that many doctors do not tell us is that chronic back issues are caused by several different factors, not just one - like a herniated disc or sacroiliac and facet joint hyper mobility. The other factors include:
* Overall back conditioning
* Diet
* Stretching
* And how we use our backs
Everyone is different, so a 'One sized fits all approach' never works. It was along road for until I finally conquered my chronic back pain. It took a natural holistic approach with a program that was specifically designed for my condition and how I lived.
The reason it was such a long road for is that I was looking in all the wrong places. Now I am not a doctor and I don't want to tell anyone that they do not need surgery - you may. But I can say that whether you are in recovery from back surgery or about to be or want to avoid surgery altogether, there is a program that can help you.
