what is used to pad the nerve during microvascular decompression? does the body ever reject the material?

Question

Can the pain can come back after microvascular decompression brain surgery to stop tn?

Answer 1

Sponge: A tiny teflon sponge is used that is inert and not rejected.

Answer 2

Teflon: Generally for a microvascular decompression an inert substance like a sterile teflon pledget is used to pad the nerve. This helps to shield the nerve from the movements of the artery. These material for the most part are inert and are not rejected by the body.

Answer 3

Warm baths.: Warm baths with epsom salt and pregnancy massage work wonders for body aches. If you received chiropractic before conceiving, make sure the practitioner is trained to work on pregnant women before you continue treatment. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe for minor pain in pregnancy.

Answer 4

Proper body posture: Appropriate posture. Massages and heating pads.

Answer 5

No: Generally a lacy red rash that is not itchy is associated with mild viral illness. If your child is not bothered by the rash, it is not likely to be dangerous.

Answer 6

Yes: It's hard to make "rash decisions" over the phon or computer, but if baby has a rash that you can't identify, it's usually best to have your doc look at it. When you say "lacy red rash"to a pediatrician, we immediately think of something called fifth's disease, which we now know is a parvovirus infection.While generally harmless and not needing treatment for baby , can be dangerous to unborn babies.

Answer 7

Rash: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination & other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes. Once accurately assessed a treatment plan can be developed.

Answer 8

Breathable Layers: Unfortunately, there is no perfect solutio here. I would, however, try and take some advice from the world of outdoor sports. First, layer to allow for adjustments in temperatures as you go about your day. Second, choose breathable materials to allow your body to regulate heat more effectively. Finally, watch out for the extreme temperatures that can come in summer, espcially while pregnant.

Answer 9

Grooming & Clothing: This is not likely a question that you would go to your doctor for. Your girlfriends may have better advice than the doctor would. Perhaps the prenatal guide book or pregnancy manual your OB recommended may have some helpful hints. I would bet the sales person at your favorite store may also know the perfect solution for you.

Answer 10

Depends on hormones : I think that would depend on the type of hormone you are talking about and the scan you had. If you didnt get instructions then check with your doctor first. Did you have a thyroid scan? Was it a bone scan or a density scan?

Answer 11

depends on cause: Treatment depends on the cause of the nerve problem and how long standing it is as well as your age and health. Also the severity of the nerve injury plays a role. Is the nerve problem related to a nerve compression inside or outside of the spine or due to issues related to diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, toxic exposure, etc. Or both. A diagnosis needs to be made first.

Answer 12

Conservatively: With musculo-skeletal pain treat with pt and home exercise. Medications for nerve pain can be used but cause side effects. Consider topical compounding ointment, followed by non-opiate meds. Anti-seizure meds like neuron tin, tricyclic antidepressants, snri antidepressants like Cymbalta (duloxetine) have been effective. Nerve blocks, neuroablation, spinal cord or peripheral nerve stimulators can be effective.
