My D11 disc is totally damaged should I go for medicine or surgery to get better results? What would you recommend based on your experience?
For a completely damaged D11 disc, a comprehensive approach involving both conservative treatments and surgical options is recommended. Initially, conservative measures like pain medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments should be explored to manage symptoms and promote healing. If these approaches are insufficient, or if there are significant neurological issues like weakness or paralysis, surgery may be considered.
