Why does surgery fail for so many?

It has been hypothesized that fusion surgeries may fail because even if you force the spine into the alignment that you want using rods, screws, pins and plates, if you have not changed the ligaments that hold the joints together, or retrained the brain and muscles to hold a more optimal /spinal alignment, the spine will eventually creep back to its dysfunctional position and movement.

This is in addition to the fact that fusing spinal joints together inherently alters the biomechanics of the spine for the worse, oftentimes leading to what has been deemed "Adjacent segment disease", a degeneration of the joints adjacent to the area of fusion.

In surgeries where they remove parts of the spine in an attempt to decompress nerves and/or the spinal cord, what remains after surgery is inherently unstable compared to the pre-surgical spine.

Every effort should be made to exhaust conservative treatment options, including care, before proceeding to surgery. Obtaining and maintaining a more optimal posture and spinal alignment, and decreasing and other noxious symptoms, can often be achieved with conservative spinal correction techniques. What is fascinating is that those who have attempted and failed efforts towards conservative treatment for spinal issues tend to respond better to surgical intervention.

Today I had the responsibility of informing a patient that they have avascular necrosis of both hips and will likely require bilateral hip replacement. The wild thing is that it is only their left hip that hurts, and it really only started to catch their attention about a month and a half ago. There was no significant trauma. They gradually began to experience sciatica like symptoms. By their own admission, they have a high pain tolerance and generally just tough things out to be able to continue working and going about their daily life.

Yes, this is a rare occurrence. However, it is also an example of why it is so important that we take a proactive approach to maintaining our health as best as we can, and do not simply "live with" pain or any other symptoms, whenever possible.

Could this have been prevented with a more proactive approach to health? Maybe. The truth is I cannot say with certainty. I think it would have been worth trying.

For years "experts" and the media have been pushing going vegetarian/vegan claiming it's better for the environment and for human

I never believed it. I've read too much. One of the many reasons that going "meat free" is not good for human health is that vegans suffer higher rates of vitamin B12 deficiency. The best sources of B12 are meat (beef, pork, chicken, lamb), fish (salmon, tuna, sardines, trout), eggs, and dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt).

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a wide range of symptoms, including neurological problems like numbness, tingling, weakness, difficulty walking, as well as mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and memory loss.

Do what you will with this information. Be well, friends.

When I 20 years old I had let my get away from me while away at college. I did not prioritize quality , I ate too many unhealthy, nutrient poor foods, I drank too much (soda and alcohol), and I had stopped working out the way I used to in high school. As a result, I had become morbidly obese, way out of shape, and was informed that I had and "high cholesterol" by my family doctor.

Their solution was to prescribe me a "low dose" of Lipitor and a "water pill", check back in three months. I asked the doctor "If I start taking these, how long will I have to use them?" He said "You'll be on some dosage of them for the rest of your life"

I did not like that answer. I knew it was poor lifestyle choices that put me in that position. I knew making better lifestyle choices was the real "cure". Plus, I had already worked as a pharmacy technician for a couple of years, and my experience told me no one ever seemed to come off their meds.

I chose to forego their drug prescriptions and change my lifestyle instead.

I started eating differently, prioritizing sleep, and working out more consistently, emphasizing weight lifting. In three months I lost 60 lbs, and ever since then I've worked to keep a healthier body composition. Earlier this year I got a cardiac CT scan for the first time, and got the best score possible (zero).

You are going to have to have successful health habits for the rest of your life if you wish to get and stay as healthy as possible. There is no short cut. Or you can wind up being one of millions hoping polypharmacy helps them keep putting out fires. It's your choice.

This is one of my go to home remedies if I'm feeling under the weather - A combination of tea (usually green) with honey and a few drops of oregano oil

It's soothing and the honey and oregano oil are potent, natural antibacterials, antivirals, and antifungals.

Since / use is in the news, here's some more food for thought

Every single person should consult their doctor before starting any new drugs. Ignorance is no excuse.

If you want to raise , fit kids, lead by example. It's hard to tell them what to do if your actions don't align with your words. Get help as needed.

People can get injured in an instant, and take years to fully recover.

If you wish to get back to being as healthy and functional as possible, be willing to put in the work, and be patient. The time will pass anyway.
