How To Cure Issue With L4 And L5 After Spinal Surgery?
Hi. My mother has to undergo a spinal surgery because she has issues at L4 and L5. Two doctors, out of which one was a renowned one have suggested her to go for an injection first and then a surgery. I am thinking of getting third opinion from Dr. H S Chabbra from ISIC or Dr. Satnam Chhabra from Gangaram. Which of these two would be more suitable for my mother because my mother is very scared? Note: She has no medical insurance.
See as far as I can understand, you mean L4 L5 disc. now it if is mild compression, or the cause of pain is the joints of spine not the disc, injection is a good method to differentiate it. then it would be decided if surgery is required or not. As far as surgery goes, if it is a single level disc causing pain then it can be dealt with endoscopic surgery, where the rehabilitation is fast, I would advise you to meet a spine surgeon who has a lot of experience.
