Q:

What can I expect after back surgery?

A:

If you are having back surgery, you can likely expect your pain to be decreased after your surgery. Many people find that their symptom relief is fairly immediate. That being said, you may experience some pain or discomfort at your incision site, or may have mild nerve pain. Your surgeon should give you a complete list of post-surgery instructions, and can help answer any questions you have.

Q:

Diabetes And The Importance Of Regular Eye Exams

A:

Only your eye doctor can look inside that eye and tell you that you’re having a problem. Whether it is by looking, or by doing tests such as optical optical coherence tomography or photographs, the doctor needs to look inside your eyes to be able to tell if you have a problem. You won’t feel any pain, you may not experience any vision loss, but you may even be on the verge of having serious vision problems and not know it.
