What patients say
Stories from patients and families, in their own words.
Not every spine problem needs surgery.
Many disc and neck problems settle with medicines and physiotherapy. The panel lists the medicine groups you may hear about before or after surgery.
- Tell the surgeon about every blood thinner you take; most are stopped before surgery.
- Do not stop seizure medicines on your own after brain surgery.
- Back pain with numbness around the private parts or loss of bladder control is an emergency. Go to a hospital at once.
