Living With Chronic Low Back Pain
They tell me my diagnosis is pretty common, that millions of Americans suffer from back pain. I also heard that next to the common cold, lack of work of low back pain is the main reason. With these two major known facts, then I wondered why get the best treatment for low back pain is so difficult.
After being diagnosed with a herniated disc and degenerative disc disease of bone was immediately scheduled to see a surgeon. The surgeon suggested that I back surgery. To make a long story short, after much prayer, a lot of thought, and after talking with many people who have already been operated with diagnosis of myself, I chose against surgery.
After deciding against surgery, I immediately found a different light, by my doctor and the medical community in general. I found my pain is not taken seriously. I felt disbelief about how much it hurts. I actually felt like a drug addict to ask for something for pain. Apparently, my doctor back surgery he was in the end all cure all my back pain and leg. Studies have shown to the contrary, again surgery may cause more pain, complications, and even the damage that requires more follow-up surgery.
Meet the doctors and surgeons are already aware of these statistics, it really makes you wonder why they put you at risk. Hopefully some of these health professionals once just switch places with me for a day of living with chronic back pain. Im not all doctors are practicing this type, but seeking treatment for chronic low back pain in general seems to be increasingly losing a search to find someone who really understands your pain, and willing to help in the treatment of pain . God bless those doctors who do.
