※ This video is an excerpt from the February 13, 2026 broadcast of "Myung-eun - Should I Get Back Surgery Before It Hurts?" "It's natural to have back pain as you age..." Many people take back pain lightly and often ignore it. However, back problems in the elderly don't end with simple pain. Pain that begins in the lower back can radiate down to the buttocks, thighs, calves, and toes. Even the slightest movement can be painful, and standing can become difficult. In severe cases, it can lead to motor paralysis, with loss of strength or ankle drop. It can even progress to an emergency, such as cauda equina syndrome, with urinary and bowel dysfunction. Ultimately, back problems can lead not only to pain but also to paralysis. Many people consider surgery in advance, fearing they might not be able to do it as they age. However, the key is not deciding whether or not to have surgery, but rather determining whether the condition is manageable and whether there are any warning signs that should be ignored. So, what signs should prompt surgery? The key isn't to rush into surgery, but to not miss the right moment for your back. Now is the time to assess whether you can wait and see, or whether it's time for surgery. We'll explore the treatment options and timing of surgery that best suit your back condition. ✔ Program Title: Doctor - Should I Get Back Surgery Before It Hurts? ✔ Broadcast Date: February 13, 2026 #ebshealth #health #ebs #doctor #back #backsurgery #lumbardisc #disc #backpain #backdisorder #spine #spinaldisorder #stenosis #anteriorsliposis #fusion #decompression
