Hernia Nucleus Pulposus

[djoni]

First, I'd like to thank you for accepted my registration.

My brother has suffered from the disease called Hernia Nucleus Pulposus since 14 years ago, since I heard abroad this kind of disease consider a minor thing, can you give me the picture what kind of treatment that you can give to my brother. How is the successful rate and the prognosis, how long will it takes and how much is the cost.

Your quick feed back is really appreciated.

Thank you and regards,

Djoni Dj.

Actually it really is quite an individual thing in terms of how bad it is, what the course will be and what would help it ..

Many of us here have had multiple surgeries for bulging or herniated discs and related spinal problems. You can even look at the surgical outcome forum and read about people's cases to get an idea of how long people had whatever and how they dealt with it and the outcome.

Good luck to your brother.. spine problems can be absolute misery that unless one has the actual problem it's difficult to imagine all the pain that can be involved. It's nice that you're trying to find out more about your brother's condition tho as I said everyone is individual with his/her diagnosis and degree of problem.

I don't have much to say that is helpful about the problem, although i have had multiple problems with my spine. I did have a disc problem in my thoracic spine which caused horrible pain. I eventually had the disc removed after having it tested to prove it was the source of pain.
About cost i am not sure do to having American Health Insurance. I do know that some Americans go to other countries when they have to pay for it themselves. I hear on this forum a lot about going to Germany. You might want to read about that as well.
Best of luck

I don't know much about the hernia nucleus pulposus you mentioned above,but one of my friend had it. It was diagnosed through an MRI and was under hernia treatment for a fixed period. He is well recovered now.
