of Sciatica back pain?
Ans: In cases of severe sciatica back pain, your surgeon might recommend surgery. However, severe sciatica occurs very rarely. Getting a surgery thus depends on the severity of your condition. Q. Does X-ray, CT scan, or MRI help in diagnosing back pain? Ans: When it comes to diagnosing a back pain, a physical examination and a detailed analysis of the patient’s medical history is a must. An X-ray is quite accurate in diagnosing a back pain if there are any bones associated with it. An MRI and a CT scan may also be helpful in diagnosing the causes but they do not show very clear results.
