A member asked:
Is back surgery for a trapped nerve dangerous. will my foot pain go away. i have a chronic damaged s1and s2 nerve. foot hurts when standing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back surgery: There is risk with all surgery and certainly true when surgery is performed near your spinal nerves. The decision to move forward with surgery should only come after extensive discussion with your neurosurgeon, clearly outlining risks versus potential benefits. When the risk not having surgery becomes greater than risk of the surgery itself, it is time to move forward.
