What Is Neuritis, How To Treat It And Is Scar Tissue Serious?
I just had a discectomy on my L5-S1 disc in October with an Orthopedic surgeon. He had me do an MRI of my back Dec 31st because I am still in a lot of pain. I saw him last week, and he told me that the MRI didn't show anything, and that it is all psychological. So, I went to my family Dr. today and he told me that I have neuritis and scar tissue on the nerve. What is neuritis, and is there treatment for it? Also, is scar tissue bad? I really want to change doctors and get a second opinion, maybe see a neurologist?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that there is definitely some problem with the apposition of the surfaces of the spines. You may need to consult another orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis.
i usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days and then periodically, besides other medicines.
Neuritis is the inflamation of the nerves, and scar tissue means the formation of connective tissue, it may not be formed with the nerve tissue. can form over the nerves.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till the pains are completely controlled.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
