Surgery Or No Surgery Going to the Extreme in Treating Neuropathy

SURGERY OR NO SURGERY, GOING TO THE EXTREME IN TREATING NEUROPATHY

by Dr. Randall C. Labrum

As the patient, it is a commonly made mistake to want to give your health problem over to the doctor and just have him or her �take care of it.�  For this reason, patients all too often readily agree to a surgical approach as the solution to their problem.

Surgeons want to do surgery.  They have been well trained to do surgery, and are indeed good at what they do.  Despite this fact, you must not overlook your part in the equation; which is to take responsibility for your case and not be misled into thinking that surgery is a �cure-all� for your problem.  In terms of peripheral neuropathy, oftentimes the patient is far worse off after surgery has been done.  Once a person has had surgery performed, however, there is no option of going back to where they were before.

This explained, there is indeed a surgical procedure which �may� be helpful for your neuropathy problem.  You must, however, understand the information that follows before making any decisions that include surgery for peripheral neuropathy, as surgery in my experience is the most extreme form of treatment for the neuropathy condition.  The surgical procedure being referenced for peripheral neuropathy is known as �Tarsal Tunnel surgery for nerve decompression�.   Foot surgeons will often promote this approach in good faith, not knowing what else to do for the case.

To be clear, as a first line approach to neuropathy, surgery is a very UNWISE decision.

Even in the rare cases where the posterior tibial nerve and its plantar branches may be suffering from hard tissue compression in the tarsal tunnel near the ankle, the expected relief will probably not be forthcoming after surgery.  The causes for neuropathy, as outlined in the guide �Peripheral Neuropathy: The Mystery Unlocked�, which is part of my "Neuropathy Solution Program", are probably also present with the person who has posterior tibial nerve compression.  Surgery in and of itself will not correct these issues.  The patient must correct them him or herself first.  The treatment and management procedures presented in "The Neuropathy Solution Program" must be implemented FIRST, in order for the nerves to regain a reasonable amount of cellular tissue health before the surgery is performed.  If this order of priority is indeed followed, the nerves will be healthier and consequently respond much more quickly and completely after the decompression surgery is performed, although in most cases, the surgery will become altogether unnecessary. 

It should be remembered that foot surgery -- or its equivalent in the hands -- for the treatment of neuropathy symptoms is a �high-risk� procedure that must not be taken lightly, or unconditionally simply on the advice of a surgeon.  With this in mind, a second opinion should always be sought before a patient consents to surgery.   Remember, the responsible for this decision is the patient�s, after all, is said and done.

It should also be noted that the recovery period after such surgery is usually at least one year, and is very often accompanied by poor healing, infection, and other serious complications.   What�s more, as mentioned earlier, if this surgical approach is done before the nerves have been put into a healthy environment as outlined in "The Neuropathy Solution Program", a very poor and unsatisfying outcome is almost certain to result.

My recommendation is to attempt bringing the unhealthy nerves back into a healthy environment FIRST, by strictly following the procedures and methods taught in "The Neuropathy Solution Program".  If, after six months, the neuropathy symptoms persist at an unacceptable level, which is unlikely, then a patient should begin a diligent process of research in consideration of the Tarsal Tunnel decompression surgery, or equivalent hand surgery, under the direction of a good surgeon.

Signs of Infertility

What exactly is infertility?

The problems with either conceiving a child or with carrying out the pregnancy to its eventual fruitful end, fall under the definition of infertility. Infertility is the incapability of an individual to become pregnant, in the case of females, or the incapability to induce pregnancy, in the case of the males. The inability of an individual to carry out a pregnancy to its full term is also dubbed infertility. How does one recognize infertility? What are the signs of infertility?

Signs of infertility are not always evident. Most people go through life without knowing there is a problem with their reproductive systems, attributing failed pregnancies to providence. In fact, miscarriages are the most common indicator of infertility. Signs of infertility in women:

In women, the signs of infertility are more readily recognized as compared to men. Endometriosis causes the lining of the uterus to grow outside the uterus.

Bacterial infections may begin around the uterus and spread to other reproductive organs, resulting in infertility. Fibroids in the uterus are indicative of infertility. Tumors in the cervix often cause stenosis, or narrowing of the cervix, which is a common indicator of infertility.

Ovulating before the tenth day and after the twentieth day of one's monthly cycle, pre-menstrual spotting, menopausal symptoms, etc. are indicative of luteal phase defect, and thus, in turn, are signs too.

Irregular menstrual cycles are the most common indication in females that they might have some problems with fertility. However, an irregular menstrual cycle is not conclusive in itself, but it is definitely one of the signs of infertility.

Issues regarding body weight are often indicators of being infertile. For a woman, being too thin, or anorexic, will definitely hinder pregnancy, since the body does not have the proper nutritional requirements or the required strength.

Alternatively, obesity can also be a sign. Obesity is accompanied by hormonal imbalance, which affects the reproductive system and pregnancy. Signs of Infertility in Men:

Like females, in males too, either obesity or anorexia, is an indication that he is infertile. Apart from these, anatomical defects may also be signs of infertility. Undescended testicles, or damage to the scrotum and the gonads, are possible indicators too. Wearing tight undergarments, or exposing the testicles to heat, may render the person unable to produce the required number of sperms, or unable to produce sperms altogether, resulting in infertility.

Determining the signs of infertility:

There are many medical procedures for detecting the signs that help to determine whether an individual is infertile or not. Doctors usually prescribe one or more of the following medical tests:

Hysterosalpingography A dye injected into the vagina is monitored to check for blockage in the fallopian tubes or uterus.

Laparoscopy If disease and other physical problems are present in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or in the uterus, infertility is suggested. This may be detected through laparoscopy.

Infertility is a problem which can be solved if it is addressed in the holistic way, which is, using a multifaceted method of healing. Getting regular health checkups, taking supplements to combat existing problem, exercising and stress reduction techniques are only part of the holistic solution to infertility. The holistic approach is not only a surefire way to increase your chances of conception it also guarantees a safe and healthy pregnancy.
