"Risks
During a percutaneous discectomy, the surgeon has no way of seeing
the herniated disc or the compressed nerve root.
The surgery might not remove the herniated disc. So there is no
guarantee that pressure on the nerve will improve.
There are risks with anesthesia.
What To Think About
Many experts consider percutaneous discectomy to be a poor
alternative to standard discectomy or microdiscectomy procedures."
Why are you considering this?
In terms of TM -- this would do nothing.
An ex had multiple back surgeries including a discectomy -- I don't
remember what kind...
he went to an experimental place in the Bay area....
but his problems were markedly different from what I have with
TM.....my pain is not back pain
except when i wrench my back or arm or shoulder lugging the unmoving
half of my body......
Guys,
I am actually at the point where I want to try anything. Please let
me know if you ever heard of this and what you think. I found this
link on the net after I saw an ad in my local paper today.
Regards,
Jeron
