Can back surgery improve my quality of life?

I am 40 years old male and been complaining from back pain for about almost 20 years in the past years as I’m getting older. It’s been getting worse now I am kind of walking differently and my back is a little bent with a back hump, I did an MRI and I had C4 C5 C6 t1 t2 and L5 S1 mentioned some abnormality in their function. My question is will this be cured through surgery or even give me a better chance living a better life if I do the surgery because back surgery really does scare me a lot.

Orthopaedic Surgery

Answered on 12th June '24

Your back pain could be due to herniated discs or spinal stenosis. If it is, you might have trouble walking or your posture could change. Having surgery might help take the pressure off of the nerves and make the symptoms better. Surgery can often help improve your quality of life, but it's important to consult an orthopedic surgeon or a spine specialist. They will guide you on the best treatment options and help address your concerns about surgery.

Male | 24

Joint pain after unprote­cted sex is concerning. It could signal a se­xually transmitted infection (STI). Common symptoms include discomfort, swe­lling, and stiffness in the joints. Getting te­sted for STIs is crucial to identify any potential infe­ctions. Moving forward, practice safe sex consiste­ntly.

I have had shoulder blade pain since 2 months. I consulted a orthopaedic. He examined and said I have a herniated disc and prescribed me some pain killers. Those painkillers donot work at all.I consulted other doctor. He too prescribed me pain killers. And told that if the pain doesn't heal they will have to perform a surgery. I want to know if I should consume pain killers or go ahead with the surgery. Or can you suggest me a way to heal the herniated disc.

Female | 18

If painkillers aren't working surgery may be necessary . .Also , physical therapy may help. Herniated discs can be caused by poor posture , obesity, or heavy lifting..... Strengthening core muscles can help prevent future herniation. But to conclude anything between medication or surgery, need to evaluate reports

I have a wound on my knee. Two days ago i fall in the road

Female | 22

I think you got a scratch on your knee when you fell. It's okay to have pain, redness, and swelling around your wound. This is because the fall has injured your skin. The solution is to gently clean the wound using soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with an adhesive bandage. Always change the dressing daily until it heals. Opening up is necessary if the pain worsens or you notice any infections with symptoms like pus, light redness, or warmth.

Right hip subchondral sclerosis with fewill defindradiolucent areasnoted inhead of right femur

Male | 34

Subchondral sclerosis is when the bone becomes harder. Radiolucent areas are places where the bone isn’t as dense. These changes can cause pain and stiffness in the hip area. They may occur because of natural aging processes and wear and tear on our bodies over time. To relieve these symptoms, try doing exercises or going for physical therapy sessions.
