You have had surgery and the postoperative pain relief is not obvious. The best method at present may be symptomatic supportive treatment.

She never said she had surgery. She said that her doctor told her that even "IF" she had surgery, the pain could get worse, and it may not even help her. She did however say that she had therapy once. I know it may be difficult to read what she wrote, due to her lack of any kind of punctuation. IE comma's, periods, question marks, ect. I can't stand reading comments from people like her, as they are very confusing. Her whole comment reads like one huge, never ending sentence. Given this, you may wish to revise your answer.

Hello, there are many reasons for back pain, such as spinal dislocation, spinal fracture, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, spinal tuberculosis, spinal sensation, osteoporosis, disc herniation, bone dysplasia, I want to involve pain, tumor, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, etc. caused by visceral diseases. Has your doctor ruled out all of these?

Me too, I also have back pain for years, not everyday though. For a period of time I'd think I have heart attack, doctors said no. It's been years so the good thing for me is it's not a heart attack. I've also checked my neck and chest spine, there's degeneration but doctor said it doesn't cause my pain. I'm still in pain, it could be muscle pain, so I do yoga, it helps a bit.

Answer 3

The right side of my torso hurts, primarily at my waist area and toward the back. It began with a slight pain when I moved last night, has increased to a more intense pain even when I breath deeply. Even my shoulder hurts, and the pain extends to my elbow. What would cause the rapid onset of this pain?

Comments

might be cervical spine problem.

---

You slept wrong, and may have pulled a muscle. It's happened to me a few times. I highly doubt it's a cervical spinal problem. Please ignore Zeta Moore's comment above, as that is a worst case scenario, and I can't believe she would even say that to you, getting you paranoid. You said it happened just last night while you slept, and you never gave reference to this sort of thing happening to you before last night. So again, I highly doubt Zeta's diagnosis. smh

---

It seems to me more like a problem caused by inappropriate sleeping position. However, the possibility of cervical/spinal disc herniation could not be definitively excluded. It is probably necessary to have a CT scan.

I had lower back surgery in 2010..The doctor put medal in my lower back.I had a herniated disk.are slipped disk.For the past 4 years my back hurts just like it did before I got the surgery..And a back pain shot did not help..What can be done to stop the pain..Another surgery to take out that medal..Please help.

Comments

That happens in artificial herniated Disc. The problem is , if you take the artificial disc out, what will you implant?

---

The disc causing pain now isn't necessarily the one you've replaced with the artificial one. In this case, it doens't matter taking out the artifical disc, it's about what to do for the one cause ache.
