Back Surgery for Nerve Pain

• Back surgery is often considered when nerve pain is persistent and not alleviated by other treatments.

• It's important to note that nerve pain can be chronic and may not resolve instantly following surgical interventions.

Healing Process

• The healing process for nerve pathways can be lengthy.

• In some cases, it may take six months for nerves to reheal and regenerate after surgery.

• Patients should be prepared for this duration of recovery and have realistic expectations about pain relief.

Management of Symptoms

• Aside from surgery, antidepressants may be prescribed to help manage chronic nerve pain.

• Antidepressants can help alleviate pain signals and improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from nerve pain.
