When does sciatica need a neurosurgeon?

While many cases improve with rest and therapy.
Here's when to consider a neurosurgeon consult:

⏳ Pain lasting over 6-8 weeks
🦵 Progressive leg/foot weakness (e.g., foot drop)
🚽 New loss of bowel/bladder control (emergency!)
⚡️ Severe, debilitating pain
📊 Imaging confirms nerve compression (herniated disc, stenosis)

If you need specialised diagnosis & surgical solutions for lasting relief, you should contact your preferred Specialist for a proper assessment.

Living with chronic back or neck pain can be debilitating.
For some, a solution lies in a procedure called Spinal Fusion.

Essentially, spinal fusion is designed to "weld" together problematic vertebrae, creating a single, stable bone. This can significantly reduce pain by preventing movement that irritates nerves or unstable joints.

Discover if spinal fusion could be an option for you and get a deeper understanding of this procedure. Contact us directly or visit our website for more information:-https://www.consultaneurosurgeon.co.za/

A brain abscess is a localised collection of pus within the brain tissue, typically caused by a bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection. These infections can spread from nearby sites like the ears or sinuses, travel through the bloodstream from other parts of the body, or result from direct trauma or surgery.

Symptoms can vary but often include persistent and severe headaches, fever, changes in mental status, seizures, weakness on one side of the body, and speech difficulties.

Early diagnosis, often involving advanced imaging like MRI or CT scans, is critical. Treatment frequently requires neurosurgical intervention to drain or remove the abscess, along with antibiotics or antifungals to combat the infection.

If you or someone you know experiences these concerning symptoms, prompt medical evaluation is essential. Brain abscesses are serious conditions requiring timely and specialised care.

Don't live with debilitating back or neck pain!

➡️ Severe or persistent back/neck pain
➡️ Pain radiating down your arms or legs (sciatica)
➡️ Numbness or tingling in your limbs
➡️ Weakness in your arms or legs
➡️ Bowel or bladder dysfunction

If conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication haven't provided relief, seeking expert advice is crucial. Take care of your spine and nervous system!
