How to treat pinched nerves? - Just Menong

A few years ago, your mother felt an unusual pain that spread from the waist to the right pelvis that made her unable to move, even to sit or stand normally. And it feels like this is unusual because you rarely complain of serious pain. I guess the pinched nerve finally made me look for information on the nearest pinched nerve treatment.

Before we decided to go to the doctor, I actually took the initiative to try alternative medicine with acupuncture. At that time I was still not sure about the actual diagnosis, even though acupuncture convinced me that the pain was caused by a pinched nerve. Because the pain that does not decrease even gets worse; originally the mother could still move but now can only lie down, I also look for information about this pinched nerve.

Since I had a good experience with Hermina Arcamanik Hospital Bandung, I also took the initiative to invite my mother to return to Hermina Arcamamik Hospital. This time I chose Dr. Herman, SpS, as a neuroscientist.

Narrow Narrow/Hyrmania Nucleus Pulposus (HNP)  

And the results of Dr.'s examination results Herman, SpS, the doctor stated that her mother had a pinched nerve. Hernia Nucleus Pulposus (HNP), better known as pinched nerve, is a condition that occurs due to the bearings between the spine protruding so as to press the nerves around it. These pads are very soft and shaped like gelatins. HNP usually occurs in the back and neck.

Doctors also traced your mother’s habits for years to ascertain the HNP cause. And as it turns out, the mother's sewing routine is what causes a shift in the pads on the hips. For decades, Mother's more activity in a sitting position with her legs pressing the sewing machine dynamo became the source of HNP.

From the x-ray results, the position of the bone shift is clearly visible, but the doctor advises being treated with drugs first before surgery is needed. And as the main condition, the mother automatically stops completely from sewing activity and various positions that will further worsen the HNP suffered.

BPJS (Indonesia Health Insurance)

By using BPJS facilities, we chose Hermina Arcamanik Hospital with a fairly good reputation, considering the distance from home that is not too far away. I personally have used the BPJS service for ganglion surgery on my hand, and it was free of charge at all.

In the first consultation, Herman's doctor only gave anti-pat. and calcium and warned of activities that were completely forbidden for her mother, including sweeping and mopping, which in fact included minor activity. But in terms of medicine, the position of sweeping and mopping is not ergonomic and is harmful to the position of the hip that has already undergone a shift.

Only a portion of drugs are covered by BPJS. Calcium is only given for a few days, and the rest we have to buy independently because it is expensive. In total, to buy 20 calories, I had to spend more than 500 rb.

Not until the time of control in the next month did Mom ask me to go back to the hospital because the pain became increasingly so. The only comfortable position is just supplicated; you even have to crouch when riding the elevator because there is no wheelchair available. Finally, with the permission of the doctor, the nurse gave an anti-pat. injection that was immediately felt shortly afterwards.

Physiotherapy

After the pain subsided, the neuroscientist gave recommendations to consult a medical rehabilitation specialist, Dr. Rina Puspasari Suryana, SpKFR. At the first meeting, I didn’t accompany my mother because there was a job.

Doctor Rina gave a referral for routine physiotherapy as one way of treating pinched nerves. After taking care of the administration and completeness of BPJS for physiotherapy. The physiotherapy was originally scheduled every Thursday, but I asked for a re-table to be Saturday so that I could accompany my mother and not need to skip work.

Saturday, at 8:00 am, according to the schedule, to keep taking Mother, the physiotherapy clinic is located on the 5th floor adjacent to other clinics. After registering, we used to wait for kurb 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the specified number. Because the mother is still not able to sit for long, the nurse provides information that there is a special place for patients who can only lie down.

That special room is usually unlocked, located in a small room equipped with a bed and chair. Usually the mother will sleep there while I wait for the call.

Psychotherapy is only done for about 15 minutes. Usually the painful part of the body is warmed. Somehow the process is because I am not allowed to enter the physiotherapy room.

Almost 3 months Mother has a physiotherapist, and of course, she gets more and more acquainted with fellow patients who are dominated by stroke sufferers. It turns out that some patients with alternative medicine in a place are not far from Hermina Hospital, and many of them are experiencing significant progress. This place is also recommended by my close friends.

The experience of pinched nerve treatment makes us more careful of the causes of pinched nerves that are sometimes not realized, such as sitting too long in front of a laptop or motor. Light exercise in the interruption of routine work is certainly the best choice that should not be forgotten despite the busyness of solidity.
