*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you have a back or neck surgery on the horizon or have pondered the possibility of surgery briefly, chances are that you�ll want to find out more about surgery and what it means. True, a sudden influx of information regarding a foreign topic such as surgery can prove inundating, but addressing questions one-by-one and seeking surface-level answers before delving into greater detail can be a wise approach. The following contains detailed answers to some of the most commonly asked questions regarding back surgery.

Will it Hurt?

During the procedure, you will probably feel very little, if anything at all, thanks to the anesthesia. On the other hand, the period of time immediately after you are released from surgery can be somewhat uncomfortable. After all, incisions are generally required for any type of surgery, and any type of cutting of the skin can be painful. However, you will likely be prescribed anti-inflammatory or pain medication to help null and minimize the pain that develops. If you do find that the pain persists with taking the medication prescribed, you should contact your doctor and explain the symptoms you are feeling, as a condition not initially apparent.

Where Do I Go for Back Surgery?

Where you choose to go for back surgery may well depend on the health insurance you have. Clearly, a physician within your insurance network should be considered more prudently than one who is not in your network. Insurance aside, however, you should take the time to research surgeons, hospitals, and surgery centers both in your area and throughout the country. Begin by conducting an Internet search and exploring the various results that are presented to you. Check out online reviews of surgeons and surgery centers posted by former patients, but don�t place too much stock into any one review, be it a positive one or a negative one. Finding the right surgeon or facility for you can take time, but it is something that will certainly pay off if you put in the work.

What is Recovery from Surgery Like?

The type of surgery and specific procedure you choose will largely dictate the length of your recovery period. Open spine surgeries are typically accompanied by longer recuperation periods, and minimally invasive, endoscopic procedure typically entail shorter recovery periods. Regardless of which type of surgery you choose, you can expect to spend anywhere from several weeks to several months recuperating. Also, your recovery period will likely consist of physical therapy sessions to help you regain strength and mobility. Your recovery period is ultimately what you make of it, and if you choose to do as you are told to do by your physician and physical therapy professional, you will surely be on the right road to recovery.

How Expensive is Surgery?

The short answer to this question is that the price of surgery varies. The more detailed answer depends upon your unique case and where you intend to have your procedure done. Like most surgeries, spine surgery can cost several thousands of dollars. Price is certainly a concern amongst many, and not one to be taken lightly. As previously stated, begin by looking within your health insurance network to see if any doctors of medical facilities cover the procedure you are seeking. However, most spine surgeries are considered elective procedures (except in emergent situations), and are generally not covered by standard health insurance plans. If your procedure is not covered by your insurance, you should begin to look into pricing different medical facilities and surgery centers to find a price that is acceptable for you.
