Unsuccessful Back Surgery
Unsuccessful back surgery is an unfortunate reality for many back pain patients. There is an
epidemic of chronic back pain
with more and more patients in long term treatment and less patients finding a true cure for their pain.
Back surgery
is the final option for some desperate patients. This last glimmer of hope is often extinguished after enduring a grueling operation and
rehabilitation,
only to find the pain is still there and might even be worse than before...

Symptoms of Unsuccessful Back Surgery
The surgery will most likely be nightmarish to endure. Minimally invasive procedures are far easier to
recover
from, compared to full open surgical correction. Regardless of what procedure is used, the experience is not pleasant. The patient is bound to experience pain, limited mobility and a period of rehabilitation before they have any chance to get on with their lives (and this is in the BEST case scenario).
* Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
If the surgical results are poor, the patient might undergo this trial by fire only to discover that their pain is still there. Many find that their pain is actually worse and their mobility and flexibility has been permanently reduced. It is extremely unfortunate that after the procedure is done, it is too late to change the fate of many of these disappointed patients…
Reasons for Unsuccessful Back Surgery
Some surgeons simply do a poor job with their surgical technique. This can cause a disappointing surgical results filled with
complications.
This scenario is not common however, since most surgeons are well trained experts in surgical
back pain treatment.
The most common reason for a poor surgical result is an incorrect diagnosis. How can a procedure have any hope of curing back pain, if it is directed at an incorrect cause? It is ESSENTIAL to find an accurate diagnosis, if there is to be hope of ANY treatment curing the pain.
Misdiagnosed Back Pain and Failed Back Surgery
Misdiagnosed back pain
is the # 1 reason for failed surgical results. Many back pain conditions might appear to be caused by one specific physical reason, but in reality are caused by another. The
anatomy of the spine
is complicated and it is not always clear where the pain is actually coming from. This is especially true in pain syndromes involving neurological symptoms. The most common of all misdiagnosed back pain conditions is
psychological back pain.
The majority of ALL BACK PAIN is actually caused by a psychological or emotional process. Very few of these conditions are recognized and diagnosed as a psychological condition. Instead, the pain is most often blamed on a coincidental
scapegoat condition.
This is the beginning of disaster for the patient. They will be led into a series of unsuccessful treatment options culminating with a failed surgical correction. These are truly the patients who have lost the most from their incorrect diagnoses. Instead of an easy cure, they must suffer greatly and face disability all because NO ONE recognized that their pain does not come from ANY physical reason. It is a shame…
Recommendation for Unsuccessful Back Surgery
Do not take surgery lightly. There is a chance that you will never fully recover. Make sure that your diagnosis makes sense and is accurate. If you have tried many conservative treatments with poor results, there is a good chance your diagnosis is incorrect. Take some time to investigate your options before undergoing surgical correction.
Knowledge therapy
is a no risk treatment that might cure all your pain without any physical treatment. Give it a try before taking the risky plunge into the surgical lottery. A few surgical patients come out winners, but the vast majority lose… Some Lose EVERYTHING...
