The simple fact is that the effect of the surgery are best if the duration of the pinching of the nerve has been small. In other words, surgery soon after the problem develops are more successful.a good deal of physiotherapy is needed to keep the nerves active. Physiotherapy after surgery is very important. Of course, the surgeon must have initiated it. don't wait for the physiotherapist to come and give you physiotherapy. You can do most of the exercises yourself. More frequently, the better best of luck Chat Doctor.
