Upper And Lower Back Pain Problems Information, Treatments, Cures, Tips And Exercises

Millions of people all around the world suffer from some sort of back problems that are typically accompanied by pain. These people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on medications, treatments such as adjustments or physical therapy and finally a surgical procedure. But unfortunately for thousands of patients, their journey or pain is just beginning for they will suffer failed back surgery. This is a real syndrome in which everything the surgeon has done, did not work for the person.

There are many different things that could contribute to the FBSS, including but not limited to pressure on the spinal nerve in post operative surgical procedure, herniated disc that keeps coming back, mobility in the joints that has been altered, spinal muscular de-conditioning and scar tissue from the operation. People will experience several dissimilar types of pain when they have had an operation. They may find that they are more depressed than normal, have more irritability and be getting less sleep. All of these things and others could be contributing factors to the FBSS and should be dealt with on a case by case basis.

Diabetes, peripheral blood vassal or vessel disease or the numerous autoimmune diseases are also contributing factors to the FBSS and spine issues many people suffer from. This is also known as Post-laminectomy syndrome and people will also have an unusual sensitivity in their spine as well as an alternating pain of dull and aching or stabbing pain in the arms and legs.

There are a few treatment options for those who suffer from FBSS and it is not always more operations. A doctor might suggest another operation, however a patient has the right to decline, and it is after all, their body. Anti-inflammatory drugs of the non-steroid kind, mood stabilizers and anti-depressants all help to some extent to manage the pain but may not address the root of the problem. There is also an electric stimulator that will help at the sight of the pain, but here again, this is a temporary fix.

There are two groups of patients who have undergone one or more operations on their lower spine and continue to report problems. In one group, group A, these people were never indicated to have spinal operations but the pain was so severe, their doctors wanted to give them some type of relief, although it did not happen that way. In group B, these patients had somewhat incomplete surgeries in which the doctors did not find what they were looking for to make the operation a success so they stopped and therefore, did not take away the pain.

There are several thousands of people with spine problems who are deciding to stay away from the operations and trying the lumbar fusion process instead. This procedure does exactly what its title says it will do, fuse together discs to help in elevating the pain. Although, with all operations, people will continue to suffer failed back surgery with this and all processes they try until one is custom made for them.
