Lumbar disc replacement surgery

[@lerponius01]

Dr. Edwards did a discectomy on me two years ago. Going though insurance hoops to hopefully get this surgery done for a permanant solution to my back pain.

I had a L4-L5 and L5-S1 Laminectomy about 12 years ago. I imagine I will have more problems there down the road. I hope I will be a good candidate at that time

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

I was curious what your experiences have been with the laminectomy pros and cons through the 12 years.

[@ftworthtexan9082]

Would having a prior micro discectomy / laminectomy on the same joint be an automatic disqualifier for a lumbar TDR?

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

Thank you for the comment. No, a previous discectomy/laminectomy would not be an automatic disqualifier for lumbar disc replacement.

[@ftworthtexan9082]

@@summitmedicalinstitute thank you so much for your response. I have had 3 re -herniations with my back this year after 14 years of none post op of the microdiscectomy/laminectomy. I realize that my disc isn't getting better and the thought of a fusion scares the poop out of me. Again thank you for your knowledge and expertise.

I'm trying unsuccessfully to find an ADR surgeon in the Seattle area. I'm finding that the doctors who don't do it don't want to recommend it.

[@jamescaliendo1030]

Try Dr Jason Cuellar in Florida. I'm in NYC and I'm having trouble here finding an ADR surgeon. I'll most likely go to FL and see Dr Cuellar

[@brians2328]

Go to Germany, way cheaper, more experienced, better disc's!! 3 levels here ! 💪
