Hi. My mother has to undergo a spinal surgery because she has issues at L4 and L5. Two doctors, out of which one was a renowned one have suggested her to go for an injection first and then a surgery. I am thinking of getting third opinion from Dr. H S Chabbra from ISIC or Dr. Satnam Chhabra from Gangaram. Which of these two would be more suitable for my mother because my mother is very scared? Note
See as far as I can understand, you mean L4 L5 disc. Now its if is mild compression, or the cause of pain is the joints of spine not the disc, injection is a good method to differentiate it. Then it would be decided if surgery is required or not. As far as surgery goes, if it is a single level disc causing pain then it can be dealt with endoscopic surgery, where the rehabilitation is fast, I would advise you to meet a spine surgeon who has a lot of experience.
