HI,I have neck pain for several years.When i see doctor,i had MRI and found that i have loss of lordosis and disc herniation at C5/C6. Doctor send me to physio theraphy.I only feel better temporarily and pain is recurrent. After going about 5 months to physio,i see doctor again .Doctor told me i can do Nucleoplasty and i will recover completely.I want to know the main reason for the pain is because of disc herniation. After i done nucleoplasty, can i feel pain again because of loss of lordosis. Nucleoplasty is very expensive and i worry that i feel pain again after i done this. Please answer me.
Hi there ~I understand your concerns and nucleoplasm can be an expensive procedure.  However, regarding your chances that you can recover to the point where you are pain free or have the satisfactory outcome from the procedure I would like for you to take the necessary precautions and have got the information from the doctor that suggested the procedure.  I would like to let you know that you should also explore other options in terms of medications for muscle relaxation and anxiety relief, and a psychiatrist would be a good place to start.  I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
