Shouldn’t she sit straight?

No one talks about the incredible but short lasting pain down the leg nerves when this injection finally hit's the nerves ,but it is swift.

What’s the typical timeframe to return to a sport like snowboarding with a c5/c6 replacement if known? I am a candidate for this procedure, but my season might be over if I go with this surgery instead of waiting.

My neck is super junk. First neurosurgeon I saw wants to do a single disc replacement. Second neurosurgeon I saw wants to do a fusion between C3- C4 and at C4-C5, I'm seeing a 3rd neurosurgeon later this week. What I have is something that I really don't think can be fixed. 1. Multilevel discogenic disease with an AP diameter canal of 8 mm at C3-C4. 2. Foraminal stenosis most prominent to the right of midline C3-C4 and C2-C3. Foraminal stenosis most prominent to the left of midline C3-C4 and C5-C6, C6-C7. Narrative Exam: CT scan of the cervical spine without contrast. TECHNIQUE: CT scan performed through the cervical spine and reconstructed in the axial, coronal, and sagittal plane. Dose reduction techniques were achieved by using automated exposure control and/or adjustment of mA and/or kV according to patient size and/or use of iterative reconstruction technique. COMPARISON: None. HISTORY: Spinal stenosis. FINDINGS: Severe disc space narrowing C2-C3, C3-C4, C5-C6, and C6-C7. Mild anterior spur formation at these levels. Foraminal stenosis due to uncinate process hypertrophy left of midline C3-C4, C5-C6, and C6-C7 and to the right of midline C3-C4, C5-C6. Facet arthropathy to the right of midline at C4-C5. C3-C4: Disc bulge and spur with an AP diameter canal of approximately 8 mm.

How much has diet been studied in relation to DDD? Have people tried an elimination diet to combat it or give relief? There are so many inflammation-inducing compounds in our diets that surely aren't helping out at least.

What if I can’t even lift my leg up without experiencing sharp pain?

This video has been very helpful to me. I've had 2 recent cysts that were both surgical. Causing radiculopathy first on the right anterior leg and then the left. I've had a hard time wrapping my head around it and need to be prepared if and when another one grows

So few views and no comments- wonder why ?

Great video. Looks like - it is shadow banned thru algorithm.

I have restless legs and that really helps me 🤩

Should the glutes be contracted as well

The new term sounds valuable because it opens up the area for searching for solutions!!! If you always ask the same question, you'll keep getting the same answers. Great

What about lumbar multiple levels (4 levels) L1-2 Grade 1 retro 4mm, L 3-4 Minimal Grade 1 retro, L 4-5 anteor Grade 1 4mm, L5-S1 antero Grade 2 14mm, I do have transitional vertebra L1-6 which 3 chiropractors identified but so far surgeons indicate L1through 5. There are bilateral pars defect L5, I do have a lot of RLE numbness, R foot constant and progressive now to mid thigh, when sitting on toilet will end up with dead numbness to RLE. Yes for TFESI Helped but extreme pain with most recent injection, electric live wire from top back of leg to heel and branching out to the sides all the way down the leg. Not fun! I am currently doing PT pelvic floor strengthening. There is also a 2 level grade 1 retro at my cervical neck.

Would you link or spell out the names, authors of the study’s you mention in your video. Super informative discussion. Thank you.

Don't do it period

Thank all of you for what you do 🙏🏼 looking into TDR after almost 15 years with L4 / L5 issue

Ask the Australians how they do it…I had a decompression, corpectomy, cage fusion and release of OALL procedure in the the C2/3, C3/4 C4/5 back in 2020. I had it at the Austin Hospital in VIC, Australia. I have AS, Ankylosing Spondylitis, HEDS, Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and OALL Ossification of the Anterior Longitudinal Ligament and Severe Osteoarthritis. Because I am allergic to most Opioids I had presurgical Cervical RFA Cervical Radio Frequency Ablations for pain. The only real pain I had after surgery was due to the positioning during the lengthy surgery, which wasn’t even in the C spine. As the Austin is a major teaching hospital allot of the procedure was carried out by supervised students. They didn’t tear the dura so no spinal headache to deal with after the procedure. I only stayed in hospital for 3 days after as I am not a resident and didn’t want to be stuck in Victoria due to the COVID lock downs we went on to have in Australia.

Ive taken oxy 5’s and use lidocaine patches. It works best although the pain pills don’t work as much since I’ve taken them for 18 years. The steroid injections helped for pain I didn’t realize I had but didn’t help at the surgery sight

I tried this exercise. I felt it was much better when I sat on a chair which had support for my back.

Aracnoiditis

Gelatinous material? Does that get released into patients body after surgical interventions that disperse the cyst?

What provokes fluid which leads to cysts?

Algo que pasa frecuentemente es que en las mielopatias , no se registran en los miembros inferiores , y el paciente es deambulador , que podemos hacer para no estar a ciegas . No es la anestesia , no la presión , etc .

This fixed sciatica for me

Sounds like Herbert from family guy.

Very informative. Thank you for all your hard work, Drs. Haddas, Aidlen, and Mattei.

I had this procedure done on Aug. 24, 2023. The doctor is an interventional pain specialist who performed it and has a positive reputation in the community here in Arizona. After going home I started shaking and having severe pain all over my body. It got so bad I couldn’t get out of bed. I was taken to the ER by ambulance and received pain medication. The gave me morphine twice and then dilaudid. My blood pressure dropped so much they needed to give me Narcan twice. The pain I was having did not abate until I was started back on my Rx of Prednisone. I had a stroke caused by low blood pressure from the pain medication and subsequently was sent to a Rehab hospital for three weeks to recover function. My low back pain has never resolved. To this day I still have the severe pain daily. All I am left with is opioid pills. My doctor has no idea what happened. In this video you don’t talk about any negative side effects for this procedure. Did you ever have a patient who did not respond to this procedure or whose back pain was not relieved, like mine?

I had mid back pain for YEARS. my physical therapist introduced me to this, and the pain went away within a few sessions. It was crazy.

Wouldn't both legs at once be more effective?

Back surgery is a scam

Time waste and basically no solutions offered…

Thanks! I'll give this a try

Great video! So, spine surgeon is recommending ALIF for my husband. Sounds like a vascular surgeon is involved in decision and surgery itself?

Great

Sir ma spinal cord injury patient hu 7 year sa c6 level from india plz tell me any treatment avilable my life khrab ho rhi h 😢

2:51 Any answers? Guesses? Before I had surgery, a lumbar laminectomy for left buttock and leg pain (not neuropathy) tried lumbar epidural injections. Needle going in caused caused so much pain shooting right through whole length of sciatic nerve. But that resolved quickly and I was pain free for 3 months. But when injection wore off BOTH feet and legs became instruments of constant neuropathic pain and walking became impossible. No answer from surgeon, neurologist, pain management docs, massage, rest, exercise and stretches, icing, Icy Hot, and I don’t have diabetes or had treatment for cancer. I’m now 2 1/2 months post surgery (which I was hoping would resolve neuropathic pain) and 9 months post injections. Any feedback would be appreciated.

How can fusion outcomes possibly be considered "equivalent" to disc replacements? Fusion is virtually guaranteed to cause adjacent degeneration.

Very interesting. Wearables are the future of Disability and Functional Assessments.

Performed in 2005.
