Well if you go on internet and search for food issues you might die of Hunger. The decision to intervene in clinical means must be assessed and Risks and benefits are to be weighed. There are side effects of every procedure but if a qualified and skilled person performs the procedure the incidence of complications is very low. But the final decision depends on the patient himself.

A SERIOUS QUESTION : with due respect! sciatica is a problem related to mechanics of spine, how can a tablet cure that? why are doctors prescribing heavy n expensive useless medicines all the time for sciatica? are the doctors tring to make a patient, their client that should buy medicines n temporarily get relief (may be or may be not) and visit them frequently? In my experience of 4 yrs sciatica the tablets didnt give me even 1% relief. it is like a bullet that is in your body, despite of taking it out you start taking medicines. This doesnt make a sense. plz reply me

For disc herniation the major decision to operate or otherwise is by combination if different features. they include degree of pain, associated weakness or numbness, problem in controlling urine, and some examination findings that a doctor may see. some times surgery is the only option, or there are other ways to treat like medicines physiotherapy etc. all depends on your condition. if you are not able to make up your mind then take a second opinion.
