CF 303: Corticosteroids And The Hip Joint & Chronic Pain After Surgery

 

Today we’re going to talk about Corticosteroids And The Hip Joint & Chronic Pain After Surgery

Low back pain is the number one cause for disability in America. And for many of those people, spinal surgery feels like their only option.

However, only a very small number of people with spinal problems should ever get surgery. This goes for disc issues, or stenosis, or most other causes of back pain. 

So, if you’re considering spinal surgery, please do your due diligence and ask all of these questions at a minimum before considering any surgery whatsoever.

In general spinal surgery does NOT come with a high success rate, and you MUST exhaust all conservative options before giving it a shot!
