I have just taken way to many hard hits, When I was about 7 or 8 years old I hit a brick wall on my bike. Now at age 58 the right side of my face is caved in it really wasn't that noticeable when I was younger. Then I put a 1969 dodge charger 24 rows into a corn field, I broke 8 ribs my sternum and caved in the top of my head from hitting the windshield. on top of taking many other hits to my head all I can say is I'm still alive... I have not found a doctor that has helped me and I have just learned to live with my symptoms. Other then the times the pain gets so bad my wife has to take me to E.R. This is my life and I know that I'm not the lone ranger when it comes to living with pain. Thanks for your time Jeffrey, I find videos like this to be good info for folks looking for help....

Wish all doctors where this smart. I have stenosis in my neck since 2016. Have had all the pain he mentioned and all the doctors except the one I recently went to said nothing is wrong. The recent doctor saw my issues did disc replacment in c6 and c7. That took away my trap pain in my shoulders. Still have issues from issues with c3 and c4 but my pain is more manageable now. All the pills, therapy and anything else I tried did nothing.

Im a 33yr old, 6' male, 210lbs and have been having issues for around 6 years. Nothing obvious caused it, grew up sportsy and active so did get gurt allot as a kid. It started with headaches and ocular migrains with auras and bad neck and back pain. Ignored it until 2021, almost passed out while driving. EMS arrived and said my blood pressure was 180 over something. Diagnosed me with "Idiopathic intracranial hypertension " and put me on blood pressure meds, but didn't help. Blurry doubled vision, sensitivity to light, constant bady pain, brain fog, balance issues, all the things in this video and more... Had some testing and they found blockage in transverse/ Sigmund sinus. Had stent placed 4 moths ago. Pain and weakness is getting worse in complete left side of body, along with decreased daily mental awearness. Beginning to also have worse and worse memory loss... But i have 2 mri's scheduled soon (Thorasic & Cervical spine) so hopefully they find something.. im tired lol

@@joeyp12788 first things first. Most great medical centers (Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, UCSF) will allow patients to self refer. I went to UCSF, which is about 100 miles away from home, but is a large well respected teaching hospital. That way you get the best of the best. My Senior Neurosurgeon was an Associate Professor, and then you get all the motivated medical students, residents and fellows. Alot of MDs who are passionate about their work, and bc it's a teaching hospital it's on the cutting edge, the newest technology and practices. I worked in healthcare locally for 20+ years and there isn't a decent Neurosurgeon in this town. My Rheumatologist referred me blindy to UCSF. My Cspine fusion was first then about a year later had my L5-S1 fused too. If you can find it, some years ago US World US News & Reports, rated hospitals. For Neurosurgeons they suggested seeing programs or MDs that perform 300 surgeries yearly. Good luck to you. Both of my sugeries were successful and I was pain-free from the moment I woke up.

I suffer from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I have 3 disc herniations in the neck C4-c6. Has terrible nerve pain in the arms and still down to the feet. Had to wait 11 months to get c5 operated on with a new disc and rigid operation. I'm still in pain unfortunately. loss of sensation also in arms but mostly left side. I also have loss of sensation halfway across my face. I suffer unbelievably every day. I also have spondylosis and spondylitis L5-s1 and also sciatica lumbago. Disc herniation L4-L5. then I have modic type 2. I have loss of sensation on my legs and in the big toe they dare or refuse to operate on me despite all the pain. I sleep with a diaper every night. Must urinate on routine because I have genital burns in the groin and abdomen. 3 weeks ago I got a back shot again. The doctor does not want to do a new MRI on me and sent me to the physiotherapist again. Should I be worried about my health? I started to get sick at the age of 19 and am 41 years old today They op mig 3 times for they carpal tunnel syndrome 😭 But is was my neck that was the problem (I often stumble and lose my balance as well. when I go up the stairs, my legs do not want to keep up many times)

To save you the trouble of having to give the same answer repetitively, therefore I won’t list a full panel of my symptoms & just as a CYA, I am NOT asking for medical advice, or a diagnosis, but rather a broad general textbook explanation for how clinicians would typically treat C5-C6, C6-C7 moderate right lateral canal narrowing and cord deformity with moderate right foraminal narrowing, in the beginning stages when the discs become painful and limb & finger pain becomes apparent? Do patients in their early 40’s typically have degenerative issues of this nature?

I had a bad car accident back in 1986 which changed my life dramatically. I had pain and headaches everyday. But dealt with the pain by going to chiropractors and later pain doctors. I saw a spine surgeon in Houston, Texas about 3 years ago and he told me I had cervical stenosis in C3 and C4 and C5. He told me I should have surgery at that time (if not things were just going to get worse) but after viewing this type of surgery on UTUbe I decided to wait it out until something better came along. I saw yours recently and have to say I think I could do this one w/o being scared to death. Only problem is how long would I need to be in Florida to see you and do follow-up? Is there someone else you would recommend in Houston, Texas to perform the surgery? I really think I need it now because it is starting to effect my bowel and other parts of my body.

I was told my low back Stenosis is mild. I've have pain, stiffness for decades but about a year ago started having some weird balance issues when walking, mostly changing direction, like my brain isn't communicating with well with my feet. I have knee buckling intermittently that doesn't feel structural in nature. I thought the balance thing was due to Tinnitus so I didn't make the connection until watching this video. I've had facet L4-L5 injections for a few years. They last about 2 weeks. I had rf ablation, same facets, about a year ago with the right side completely failing-only thing that happened was incredible burning pain in right hip and buttocks for a few months. I'm limited in the PT exercises because I have a poorly healed compression fracture of T12 and a herniated lumbar disc that responds poorly to some bending/twisting exercises. Because the diagnosis is "mild" Stenosis it doesn't seem like I have any options for lasting pain relief or better mobility. My last MRI was a year ago.

However I’m not exhibiting all the problems that others suffer from like neck pain, back pain, loss of balance, tingling sensations etc. None of that. Just pain in the forearm. I’m on the fence about getting the surgery although 3 neurosurgeons have recommended it so that the problem doesn’t progress.

Was diagnosed with RRMS 1991. I have a yearly MRI and thought symptoms in the last year of severe drop foot and spinal instability was due to only MS. I no longer trust doctors here in Canada. I have saved my life as well as friends and family by doing my own medical research. I check my own blood work with Life Labs app, heart monitor test, MRI, CT scan Reports. My Neurologist never told me I had severe cervical spinal stenosis and lumbar eccentric disc bulge in contact with L2. I told my Neurologist I cannot stand up straight in the morning. The nurse said it does not sound like MS and the nurse said my Neurologist said it was MS. I could have had spinal surgery years ago so would be walking without severe drop foot. Now my bladder is not working due to lumbar spine nerve damage. Just received all MRIs from 2015 when my Neurologist retired and got a new one. I thought I had a good rapport but she did not refer me to a spinal surgeon or tell me of my spinal stenosis. I was suspicious my downhill was from the spinal nerve damage myelopathy. I asked my Neurologist last visit “do I have myelopathy”? She said “yes”. Why did she keep that a secret? She was shocked when I told her I got all my MRI reports. My quality of life is no longer because of her neglect, isn’t it her responsibility to refer me or tell me. Is she just narrow minded when it comes to MS? I am tired of incompetent condescending doctors in Canada that blame your symptoms on anxiety or do not know of symptoms. I saved my life from doing my own medical research, Cavernous sinus cellulitis, loss of hearing due to infection, Pulsatile /Vascular Tinnitus, My Neurologist is eager to prescribe expensive MS drugs that causes liver damage and PML but not refer me to a neurosurgeon or spinal surgeon. I had my new doctor refer me to a neurosurgeon. He tried covering up for the Neurologist stating I had mild arthritis. I reread the report and stated severe spinal stenosis. He then knew I researched and read the report. He knows I will not be dismissed again and to take me serious.

However he did advise the patient that there would be significant risk especially in light of the fact that there is a large osteophyte behind the C5 vertebral body with significant compression of the cord. She would be high risk for reperfusion injury to the cord."

First 1 level cspine surgery went great, but if you have an H.M.O. ...good luck with a referral. You'll be tossed back and forth to E.R.to primary, to painmanagement like a ping pong ball. Went through this with first surgery in 2003...Dr s are now tgeir own lawyers, and patients need to go to medical school. You need a P.P.O. to get healthcare for the last 20 years here in the state of CA. No more patient advocates, I found tgat out be calling a "sort of" patient advocate person. "You are being recorded" in order to find out you have no advicate. Violation of patient privacy acts to keep the social worker safe. Hmm...
