Ból po operacji kręgosłupa - to nawrót przepukliny? Zanim spanikujesz — sprawdź to

Pain after spine surgery has returned, and one thing immediately comes to mind: "recurrence of hernia." In this video, I explain why returning symptoms don't always mean reherniation and what most often causes pain after microdiscectomy/discectomy. I demonstrate the difference between typical dermatomal pain with new degenerative symptoms and migratory, wavering, and position-dependent pain. I discuss the mechanisms: chemical irritation and inflammation of the nerve root, early epidural scar formation and limited nerve gliding, overload with weakened stabilization, and pseudoradicular pain from the facet joints. I also explain why early MRIs can look "dramatic" and how contrast helps distinguish scar tissue from recurrence. Finally, specific warning signs that you shouldn't wait to see—you should consult your doctor immediately. If this topic concerns you, watch until the end and let me know in the comments which symptoms are most concerning.
