Understanding Nerve Pain vs. Back Pain
Back pain and nerve pain are two distinct conditions that originate from the spine. Nerve pain is caused by a disc fragment pressing on the nerves, leading to shooting pain down the leg. In contrast, general back pain is localized to the back and often results from worn joints or muscle fatigue.
When is Surgery Necessary?
Surgery is typically considered for nerve pain when conservative treatments fail. This type of pain, characterized by its radiating quality down the leg, can be effectively addressed through surgical intervention. General back pain, however, may not benefit as much from surgery.
