Neck Pain, Cervical Disc Herniation & Radiculopathy-Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

[@onestart1]

Very informative...superior explanation. Your swearing oath to be helpful is honest and applauded. (Standing applause, and cheering) Wow...be well and well wishes...thank you for your expertise...not 5 star ratings but 1000 star rating....

[@painunmanaged]

Very important details. Straight to the point. Thank you from someone that suffers pain in these areas, & clueless

[@firestarblue]

I had these problems for over 15 years including disability in my right arm for 6 years and a doctor who wouldn’t listen or even try to figure it out (offered me meds like Aleve, antidepressants and benzodiazepines only). It turns out I had inflammation in my whole spine which is now deteriorated and deformed from all those years without treatment. They say it’s seronegative rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia…sure. Our medical system failed me (Canada).

[@PhuriousStyles]

I'm 20 years into the same, doctors wouldn't even look into it, it was all psychological pain in their eyes. UK here

[@skyways9237]

Same problem with me even my MRI shows i have a c5-c6 central disc protrusion but my doc here in canada says everything is fine my right arm my shoulder my ribs and breast bone are in pain but no help i am really depressed 😔

@@skyways9237 don't let that depression beat you, it's the hardest part of the battle living with pain that "doesn't exist" stay strong, I like to believe there is hope, it's all I have left.

@@Orisha1986 sorry for not getting your message sooner. I hope you have gotten some relief with your cervical neck radiculopathy? My pains just continue to come & go when it feels bored or it’s pissed off at me. (lol) so I’ve done nothing in the way of an operation. But I have been through P. T. a few times and that helps but it’s just not long lasting. So like I said in my original post……I’m so SCREWED! Best of luck 🍀

Great info I had a lot of shoulder and elbow pain that was sore for long time now all gone, but now it all nerve pain which so much worst.

[@marcuscoquer5958]

I wish my doctor would watch this. The C6 diagnosis I have doesn't fit this information. C7 and C8 according to this. Been ongoing some years now. I do get tingling in all of my fingers on both hands. Not all of the time. But if I drive for twenty minutes I will have it for a few days.

[@cornfusedatbest6693]

Very helpful video, thank you. Can these be corrected by simple exercises? I have arthritis and I blamed these symptoms on this fact. It's getting so I can not complete simple daily tasks. I am 55 years young, and until recently, very active in the construction field. I'm not ready to give up. I need answers. Thanks again.

Best explanation I've seen Thanks

[@9csvt9]

My spinal cord was being pressed on at the C5. The neurosurgeon relieved pressure in the front spine replacing the C5 with a cage and screws. On the backside he put screws and rods from my c3 to c7. He removed bone to relieve pressure on the backside. He then used some of my ground up bone and doner bone to fuse my cervical spine.

[@PetsNPatients]

Orthopedics do very little for extreme pain and weakness, as PT is impossible until inflammation is reduced. Pain clinic with knowledgeable anesthesiologists do so much more, I have found.

[@UchihaSumairu]

I wish there was a video like this for middle/upper back. I've got confirmed 2 herniations in c5/6 and c6/7 as well as "ventral cord flattening" whatever that means. also "slight reversal of the expected cervical lordosis" so have all the symptoms you listed here. When i press the right side of my spine lower down between my shoulder blades there is a part that feels similar to the c5/6 and c6/7 spot but it is way below where the MRI was done. I have my point/middle thumb on my right finger are partly numb and my whole arm gets the "pins and needles" feeling as well as shoulder pain. A symptom I don't understand is between my spine and shoulder blade it feels VERY painful. the other parts hurt bad too but this is the WORST pain. nearly as bad as when I move my neck just wrong and it feels like my whole body goes limp from the pain but at all times. I cant lay down or sit down in comfort because of this and so for most nights I can't sleep and just have to walk and pace back and forth for HOURS. Another symptom i've started having is slightly weak legs and I peed myself in my sleep once (to be fair this was my first night on the pain medication). I have to pee a LOT lately and my balance isn't quite right. I'm sure some of this is the pain meds but im worried the pee/muscle weekness are signs of things getting worse. I wasn't able to get pain meds from my normal doctor even after 3 months of working with him to finally get an MRI he suddenly "realized" i was in a car accident and he refuses to see patients with car accidents. This is just after the MRI proving I NEED some pain relief. I was stuck with just the 300mg per day of gabapentin . I went to the emergency room to get some as I couldn't sleep and was starting to see things from lack of sleep. they gave me 7.5mg of hydrocodine as well as 20mg baclofen and 10mg ketorolac as well ass an upped dose of 900mg per day of gabapentin. This is REALLY helped with the pain except that they only gave me a 3 day supply and i ran out today. I need to wait until the 20th (nearly a month after my MRI) to get to see another doctor to get the pain relief I need and speak about surgery/shots or whatever he thinks is best. Anyways do you think this might be the drugs? another herniation lower down? should I call the doctor and beg for an earlier appointment out of fear for losing use of my legs/bladder control? etc. I'd go see a doctor but I've already spent all the money I can afford plus more just doing this so I really have to wait for the insurance approved doctor if possible. Anyways this video is super old so I don't actually expect a response especially before the 20th but if you happen to know let me know!

[@user-fo2ce5cf1w]

I’m going threw the same thing rn. And I literally feel life less. I can’t move , my mood keeps changing . Nerve are punching me, I keep losing concentrate. It literally feels like a brick is on my neck. I can deal with the soreness.

[@circa1890]

I was able to use the McKenzie Technique of chin tucking to correct my C-5 (also iced the scapula). This technique didn't work for my C-4, so I had an artificial disc replacement (Mobi-C) 8 years ago. It was completely paid for by insurance and was well worth it! Highly recommend this surgery if you're unable to get it to self-correct through exercises. The book Neck by Robin McKenzie may help..

[@thalai143]

Please explain about how did the chin tucks help you for c5 c6

[@circa1890]

@thalai143 I had a severe bulging disc at C5 -C6 and a specialist in the McKenzie Technique helped me with chin-tucks to begin with. We did "off the table" together, 2x/week and I did daily chin tucks along with getting a McKenzie roll to place in front of my pillow. Within a few weeks the bulge had gone back into the disc area and no pain after that. Have you been in pain long? Are some of your fingers numb? I do suggest a PT (McKenzie is best) and not a chiropractor for this medical issue.

Hi, i also have a small bulge at c3-c4 and i am getting pain at the back of the neck and in the lines of shoulder blade. It's in the left side only. Can you tell me how are you now and what treatment did you do

[@brodaism]

@@pradiptakar Hi, there is not much we can do in short term. Modern medicine is hopeless in curing these kind of issues. There is a medicine in our own backyard i.e yoga. Start with yogic stretches for neck and shoulder ec: Marjaryasana, greeva sanchalana etc etc and then move on to slightly advanced asanas. Join a yoga class focussing more on neck and shoulder.

I had a C6-C7 fusion after disc herniation. feeling came back to right arm but symptoms of no motor control of major muscles such as my sternal head of pec major, righr outside tricep muscle and muscle along shoulder blade, all on right side do not move or flex. They do not respond to tens unit either. Any ideas? DRs are all unsure

[@afara2000]

I have C6-7 herniated disc too. I am into second week of physical therapy. So far hasn't made much difference. Had this condition for almost couple of months and it's worrying me to have surgery.

[@SirLordNikolai]

@@afara2000 honestly surgery is no big deal. It's so low, I have no loss of range of motion. Only thing sore was the throat, but went to normal after 2 weeks. My condition helped a bit, but I waited to long to get good results. If I could go back, I would do the surgery immediately.

Yes that was very helpful thank youi need surgery on c3 and or is it though c6. But thanks again my dr. Knew what he was talking about. Lol

[@Dany-ik1id]

What I have learned from this video. Cervical spine which is neck has 5 vertebrae which are c3, c4,c5, c6, and c7. If you hurt your neck, you will have problems not only your neck but arms, shoulders, and respiratory systems. Therefore, training neck for muscle hypertrophy without knowledge makes your life bad. Also, using a helmet should be done when you practice martial arts. If you feel pain during training, you should stop and find out what causes this problem.
