Living with a Herniated Disc after a Georgia Accident

Only in severe cases does a herniated disc require surgical repair to relieve symptoms. After most Georgia accidents that result in a herniated disc you can relieve the symptoms with rest and anti-inflammatory drugs. Unfortunately, herniated discs are often lingering injuries that can be later aggravated with stress, other minor injuries, or overexertion.

A serious herniated disc injury can result in chronic pain, numbness in extremities, and loss of sensation. These complications can be disabling and in some cases even prevent you from working if your job was physically demanding.

Even minor herniated disc injuries that heal on their own can flare up in the future if you have another impact injury or overexert your back or neck. After an initial herniated disc injury that area will be more easily susceptible to damage. Any time you overexert or re-injure your spine you run the risk of suffering more damage to a herniated disc.

As you can see, an initial herniated disc injury can result in a lifetime of complications and potential pain flare-ups. It may result in the need for constant pain management such as physical therapy exercises, pain medication, or other treatments. These needs can create unfair costs and suffering that would normally be unnecessary were it not for the negligence of another that caused your accident in Georgia.

When a serious Georgia accident results in a herniated disc because of the negligence of another you shouldn't have to deal with the consequences alone. By filing a Georgia personal injury claim you can seek compensation for current and future medical expenses, pain and suffering.
