Polyneuropahia

Symptoms

A postlaminektomy syndrome can be simplified to a condition after an operation of a slipped disk or the vertebral spine in general. The main discomfort is caused by nerval damages which can have their origin in a slipped disk or by the operation itself. In addition to this it can be possible that the symptoms may be caused by the attrition of the vertebra. This can lead to a combination of nociceptive and neuropathic pain.

The backpain can be combined with pain with radiates into the leg. The leg pain can be burning or prickling. In some cases it is also possible that so called positive and negative symptoms come together: numbness and burning pain.

he pain has its origin in a prior operation of the vertebra. Sometimes even scars, an instability of the vertebra or a nerveal damage can lead to the same symptoms.

We try to intervent as much as needed but as less as possible to achieve the best result.

We always try to differentiate two different main treatment aims:

Regeneration from any damage like damaged nerves, damage on the vertebra or functional disabilities

Pain treatment

Regeneration: In the beginning it is most important to secure that not barriers exist for the process of regeneration. Therefore it is necessary to perform an individual diagnostic like magnetic resonance imaging or neurologic examinations. If the nerve roots have enough space and the vertebra does not experience any instability anymore it is possible to optimize the regeneration conditions with drugs or other food supplements.

Pain treatment: The most important fact in treating the pain is to differentiate between the back pain and the leg pain. In most of the cases both pain components need a different treatment but we can combine both of them with each other.

When it comes to a pain treatment it is the best way to offer different step by step therapy options. This can include a drug treatment which can be combined with an operation, physiotherapy or a rehab. At our pain center we have the possibility to offer many different therapy options which will be discussed together with you.
