The Reason for the Treatment of Pinched Nerves Does Not Recoverd

Complaints of back or neck pain in general can heal with good rest. Some cases may require treatment such as SWD therapy, TENS or the consumption of certain anti-pain medications. However, when the pain does not improve even though it has rested and the initial treatment is possible and lasts for more than 3 month then it is recommended for further examination such as X ray, MRI or CT scan to help determine more complex medical conditions.

The examination showed results about the overall condition of the bones and nerves in the targeted part. If abnormalities are found, medical advice will be given other than those previously suggested. For example, it turns out that there is a pinched part of the nerve that will be evaluated where exactly the clamp is located and how severe it is.

Surgery can be an option suggested by a doctor. If the indication is right, the method is right and on time then healing will be obtained. However, there are several reasons why the treatment of the pinched nerve does not improve, as follows:

  1. Complaints are ignored for too long, the longer they are ignored without treatment, the more difficult it will be to return as before.
  2. Disobedient to medical advice and advice. The doctor will suggest a diet to lose weight, change bad habits and use certain aids, but patients are less disciplined in carrying out advice.
  3. There are accompanying diseases first. During the examination, it needs to be discussed if there are other diagnoses such as diabetes, complaints due to problematic kidney organs and others. The symptoms caused can worsen the complaints of pinched nerves. Even though the pinched nerve has been removed, the patient will still feel symptoms due to other medical conditions.
  4. Disturbed psychic. Feeling pain for too long can disturb the patient's psyche, as a result they worry a lot about something. They can feel a painful sensation that is still felt even though the nerve clasp has been removed.
  5. There is a new disease. This new disease appears after taking action, but usually the patient is confused in feeling the symptoms.
  6. Requires additional action. There are some cases that do require more than one procedure. If it is known at the beginning, the doctor will give information on the stages of treatment based on the best processing time.

It is very important to remain patient in treatment, if necessary the patient will be advised to look for a second opinion. Make sure to come to the right doctor, so that the treatment is right on target. For complaints of the pinched nerve in the spine, there are 2 doctors who are advised to be able to evaluate thoroughly and in detail, namely the spinal consultant neurosurgeon / Sp. BS (K) Spine and spinal consultant orthopedic specialist Sp. OT (K) Spine. Because currently the performance of doctors is increasingly subspecialty, it is hoped that the public can find the right information and not get caught up in a negative stigma about surgery that can harm themselves.
