Is surgery always needed when annular tear is diagnosed? My sister had injury and hurt her low back. She has problems sitting and feels burning sensations in legs. She thinks that she has annular tear and that it is serious damage. Is that true?

She should visit her doctor and physiotherapist. Annular tear may be caused by injury, but not necessarily. Hasn’t she got professional diagnosis? Annular tear means that there are cracks on the disc, that cause pain and surgery is needed. Treatment that is often offered is anterior interbody fusion that allows full recover.

Hallo,
If I am not mistaking annular tear is referred to problems with your spine. To be more precise you will have problems with fractures in the discs of your spine. How long has she been having problems with her back? Is she using any medication in order to get rid of the pain in her back? I think that in some cases she might treat this with other treatment methods besides the surgery. However she needs to speak with her doctor in order to find the best possible treatment for her condition. I hope that she will get better and that this helped you in any way.
All the best to you,
Karen
