I have Medicaid I would love to find out exact steps to take and I live in another state so seeing what’s available in transportation consultation procedure and transportation home is my goal. I’ve sent info and am excitedly and anxious to get this is motion God bless all of you!
Thank you so much for reaching out, Laurel. We unfortunately do not take Medicaid or Medicare, but please reach out about possible options. Wishing you all the best!
I had that ! Best thing ever to get rid of sciatica pain and move on in life !
So glad to hear that your are living pain-free from your microdiscectomy! What discs in your back where impacted?
I am so messed up, five years...finally today a doctor admitted i could be rejecting the implant
Oh wow! We are so sorry to hear you have been dealing with that pain for so long. Feel free to reach out to us if you would like a consult or to see what other options are out there. Wishing you all the best!
Why remove the screws?
Great question! Technically, pedicle screws are meant for temporary fixation while a fusion is healing. However, they can become painful or unnecessary and can be removed. Check out Dr. Chappuis talking more about pedicle screws here: czcams.com/video/gl7p14ra-LA/video.htmlsi=-VyA8-rb5K8GqIgs
Was surprised not to see a Jackson table
Thank you so much for the comment! Our ORs are used for both spinal and extremity surgeries. A majority of our spinal surgeries are done anterior (or through the front) so a Jackson Table is not required.
Been following your videos, thank you.
Thank you for following! We appreciate it! ✨✨
Thanks again Doc, You would be my choice if I were anywhere close to Atlanta.
Thank You again, this is the one I'll be having soon. I'm going to watch a few more so maybe I'll be able to do my own or at least stay awake and help. ha
Haha thank you for commenting and watching our videos! We appreciate it and we hope it has helped ease some of your nerves about getting the surgery. We see so many successes from ACDF procedures and we hope yours is a success for you!!
@@spinecenterorthoatlanta Thank You for your kind reply
Thank you for these videos. Makes me appreciate the spine surgeon's skills.
Glad you like them! We want more people to be informed of their options and the processes.
Well done Sir. Thank you for this very informative video. Have always had pain in the lower back after 3 fusions. The surgery was helpful and I'm grateful for the relief but there is still persistent pain. I'm thinking the screws, I have had a recent Cat scan was told the fusions are solid. Going for the top two lumbar fusions later this year,hopefully we can get a better look at the screws.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos! We appreciate it. It does seem like the screws could be a possible cause especially if the fusions are solid. Hopefully they will be able to get a better look. Wishing you all the best on your healing journey! ✨
I want that deep tissue massage with all the works
My mom had a surgery on her l4 l5 prior to which she had constant severe pain on her left leg .. after this surgery in 2 weeks she has severe pain on her right leg and she could hardly stand up . She's bedridden . Could it be this?
Failed back surgery syndrome could be a possibility for your mom. Severe pain lasting that long does need to be looked at by a doctor and new imaging of her back might help assess her condition. We do offer free MRI reviews if you have a recent MRI post-op. We wish her all the best and hope she heals up soon!
Ouch
Hopefully, pedicle screws do not become painful and problematic! But there are options if they do.
what
Screw move and wiggle, hurt where nerve live. Take screw away and pain no hurty. Got to give it a little bzzzz to make sure first. If bzzzz says no, then we no go. I think.
How long should residual nerve pain last after lumbar microdiscectomy? Is it normal to still have residual nerve pain 3-6 months after the microdiscectomy surgery?
Hi David, thank you so much for your questions! It is unusual for nerve pain to last 3-6 months after a microdiscectomy. This indicates that a post-op contrast MRI should be conducted to see if residual compression is present. We do MRIs on site at our Atlanta and Savannah locations, but we can also do e-visits if you send us your imaging. Wishing you all the best on your healing journey!
I mean wouldn’t it depend on the surgery? 😂
Absolutely, we do not recommend anyone go against their providers' wishes. Check out the full description for more details!
Hey Dr, I came across your video, and its really well presented! Btw I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them.
No, thank you. Have a great day!
Thanks for informing@@spinecenterorthoatlanta
@@pratapanurag757 you're welcome. Have a great day!
Thank you for sharing a great video. Very worried after very bad fall. Very bad button pain groin, throughs can’t walk far doing my head in. Waiting now. Had leminectomy surgery some 50 ago. Fractures of T section from fall also need to lay down most of the time. I have faith in a Nuro I have seen some 4 times now just need to think positive but hard at 72 not young
Best dr ever !!! Best team ever !! 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jennifer! Wishing you all the best.
I had Harrington rods placed in my back from T4-L4 when I was about 9yo (I'm 40 now) and I've had so much pain that has been progressing every year. I've just figured that this is my life and I'll always be in pain. If there anything new that could be done to help?I'd love to speak with you if possible. I have double major idiopathic scoliosis and prune belly syndrome.
Hey Holly, it is possible you might be still experiencing pain due to your hardware. We would recommend a CT scan to check to see if your fusions were solid which could give the possibility of removing your instrumentation. Feel free to give us a call or book an appointment on our website. We would love to hear from you! (We also do e-visits too!)
I just retired from a wonderful career as an OR nurse. I miss everything, from the smell of the autoclave, to the smell of the bovie cutting trough fat tissue! 😢😢😢
Totally understandable. Congratulations on an awesome OR nurse career! What are you pursuing now in your retirement?
Had fusion of l4-l5 spondylolisthesis with bone graft and hardware 33 years ago. Been suffering with symptoms of neurogenic claudication since 2019. Had a decompression of l2-l3which failed. Symptoms have slowly worsened to point of being quite miserable now. One problem is that the hardware doesn’t allow imaging to really see what’s going on which has prevented me from getting any help.
Hey Richard, so sorry to hear you dealing with all that pain. You are correct about the hardware that it does make it hard for imaging, however you could get a CT myelogram (not an MRI) and that would show more clarity to your particular case. Once you have that imaging, please reach out to us for next steps. We even do e-visits for consults as well! Wishing you all the best.
I tell everyone i know if you want to hurt worse just have a back operation because after you do there is no help for your pain the rest of your life ,
Oh no, Mike! We are so sorry to hear you feel that way. We actively work to to correct previously failed back surgeries to restore people back to the life they want to live. If you are living in pain, please reach out to use and we can schedule a consult. We also do e-visits if you aren't near one of our locations!
@@spinecenterorthoatlanta I didn't have a %100 great outcome, but the surgery gave me a much better life. I didn't use Dr. Chappius but would not hesitate to do so if were in your kind of condition. Good luck to you Sir
Do I win anything if I’ve had three out of five? 😂
Lane! 😂😂 We hope you are living pain-free now. Which three have you had and at what level(s)?
My entire lumbar spine is fused. Two ALIF/PLIF. One XLIF/PLIF. Of course the micro and laminectomy. Multiple ESI, Caudal and Transforaminal injections. I had a DCS implanted in 2021 and a hardware revision prior to that. Dec 23 we fused the R SI Joint and this Friday we’re doing the left. So far the SIJ has given me incredible relief and I’m hopeful that the left side will be it for awhile. I’m only 60 but have advanced osteoporosis, stenosis, degenerative disc disease, etc. The next failure point is going to be T12-L1. It’s already quite diseased but I’m going to put that fusion off as long as possible. I was 29 when I started down this path. I have a fantastic spine surgeon who has done all my procedures except for the SIJ fusions. We have a great spine hospital in Oklahoma City so I feel blessed.
@@lane2063 We are so glad to hear you are doing well and in good hands! So glad you are finally feeling relief. Wishing you all the best!
I had spinal surgery with my left leg in pain. 7 mths later, my right leg was in pain , pain to walk, and sit
Oh no, Cynthia! We are so sorry to hear you are still in pain after your spinal surgery. Please reach out to us to for a consult so we can try to help improve your current situation. We also do e-visits if you cannot visit on site with us! Wishing you all the best.
I did microdiscectomy 3 years ago l4 l5 but doctor removes l4 disc only now i did micro decompression and discectomy l4 l5 l5 and s1 pain was now at my right leg was very hard i can't even sleep if i straight my right leg the pain was increased
Oh no, we are so sorry to hear you have pain in your right leg and are having trouble sleeping since your surgeries. Please reach out to us to for a consult so we can try to help improve your current situation. We also do e-visits if you cannot visit on site with us. Wishing you all the best and your photography is beautiful!
If only spine surgery was as good as EVERYONE on CZcams claims it to be! There’s a reason it’s called failed back surgery syndrome..!
Thank you so much for your input. Spine surgery's efficacy is a nuanced topic, and the term "failed back surgery syndrome" (FBSS) doesn't imply universal failure. Success depends on factors like the patient's health and the surgeon's expertise. Numerous studies highlight positive outcomes, showcasing improvements in pain relief and overall quality of life. Advancements in technology and surgical techniques contribute to better success rates. FBSS doesn't always indicate surgical failure; it may stem from pre-existing conditions, non-surgical factors, or the natural progression of the spinal condition. Thorough preoperative evaluations and proper patient selection enhance outcomes. While acknowledging risks, dismissing spine surgery based on FBSS oversimplifies a complex field. Decisions should be collaborative, considering individual circumstances and the evidence supporting specific interventions.
This is true information, thank you Doctor
We appreciate your comment!
I had a major cervical spine surgery in December of 2021 I left with 20mg oxycodone and haven't been able to go down 😢I'm in constant pain 24/7 I can barely move
Oh no, Yolanda! We are so sorry to hear this. Please feel free to reach out to us to review your case and see what options you have. We do e-visits too! Wishing you all the best.
@spinecenterorthoatlanta I'm in Colorado, so I'm not sure if you can help me and exactly what I need is the fusion cut out and replaced with an artificial disk
@@yolandaowens4748 We have helped patients from all over the world. We even had a patient fly in from Alaska recently!
@@spinecenterorthoatlanta can you guys replace the fusion with artificial disk
I was fused in 2018. In 2020 due to continuing pain we decided to pursue a Dorsal Column Stimulator. To my dismay a hardware revision (removal) was suggested and a second opinion agreed. I was VERY surprised how big and painful this was. I didn’t anticipate such a large incision and several days of hospitalization. I drained more than was expected and had to be kept longer. I just want to warn everyone that it’s not just a simple thing to open you up and remove hardware. I’ve had two A/P fusions so the anterior plates and screws are obviously still in place. I can highly recommend a DCS (Dorsal Column Stimulator) to anyone who is still experiencing pain into their legs. It’s not magic but my opioid use has decreased.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. We wish you all the best!

My life is RUINED because of my laminectomy. I’m in such severe pain, no one will help me - I don’t know how much longer I can hang on. I’m so sorry for all who also suffer.

@@glendasmallwood7754 thank you so much for taking the time to comment! We appreciate it.
Yep, relieving severe pain isn’t really even a goal anymore and largely taken out of the equation. ‘Suck it up buttercup and you really should learn to cope better’. It all seems to get flipped back on the sufferers. It’s brutal and you are not alone in this.
@@karicoleman3548 So sorry if you have experienced that reaction to your pain. We always strive to help as much as possible to relieve pain with and without surgery through on-site physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, and more. Our goal in pain management is to help those suffering to get back to the life they want to live.
I'm having all the symptoms of a loose screw on my L5-S1 fusion but xray at the ER show nothing. Would a CT scan be more accurate?
Yes, a CT scan would be able to show more detail than an X-ray especially if you are experiencing lucency in your screws.
Ow
It can definitely be painful to have a herniated disc and bone spurs in the disc space because of it. Luckily, this patient came to see us and isn't experiencing any pain!

Thank you for your comment! Please let us know if you have any questions.
I've had too back surgeries and know I have crps1 and chronic pain syndrome on my right lower leg and as of 12-20-2023 I had a spinal cord stimulator permanent procedure done to help with the pain life is different for me know
We are glad to hear that life is different for you since you got our spinal cord stimulator. We hope you have living in less pain or pain free!
I have failed back surgery syndrome and now rely on 70 tablets and morphine each day. It's so severe I can't tell when I have kidney infections or anything else wrong. I've had 2 spinal surgeries, my spine is degenerative and I've has serious issues with it. I couldn't walk for 3yrs, l4/l5 ruptured and completely crushed the sciatic nerve all that time, I was on a nuero waiting list. I'm diagnosed as having severe periphial nerve damage and sciatic damage. I was 24, doc didn't believe me for a year because in his words "I was too young for there to be anything seriously wrong". This needs to stop, mine wasn't caused by an accident or trauma, it just happened. I have 7 or 8 things wrong with my spine now that are all comorbidities of the original problem. I can't be fused and will only get worst. I have a very destructive type of arthritis throughout the spine, the level of damage I had they said they'd only seen in major trauma, all mine starting irritating the cauda equina and I'm left with permanent damage from the waste down. I don't feel much in sense of touch, I feel numb alot, have horrific parathesias of different sensations, my hips and spine lock up and my legs are very weak. My neurosurgeon ill be forever thankful for.
Awesome Doctor Always on my list as one of my best friends!! Got me out of a wheelchair and gave me back my life!!

I got extreme nerve pain in my contralateral leg after my spinal fusion surgery. It is better now but i still hzve a numb leg. My spine has not fused. Is this a sign that my surgeon stuffed up? My surgery was supposed to take 2 hours, but it took 5. He said my nerve compression wasn't too bad, so why did i get such bad pain after fusion?
Unfortunately, that is a possibility. You may be experiencing pain from a possible malposition in the pedicle screw. We recommend getting an evaluation and a CT scan to get a better look at your particular case.
Exactly right with having pain. I knew after 4 months something was wrong. However, it took another 12 months to get a CT scan which showed none Union, a pedal fracture and 2 loose pedicle screws.
Wow!! So sorry to hear you were going through that pain. Have you gotten any of your conditions cared for?
Hello Doctor, my mom had laminectomy with 2 level discoidectomy for L4 -5 ( severe) and L5 S 1 ( mild) . After surgery she walked and become stable for few days but after almost in second week she is feeling shooting unbearable pain at her thigh left side. Type of pain - back side of left thigh and pain is up to knee it last for few seconds and she ask us to hold the pain full area but our hand so that she can bear this pain. Is it failed surgery? Note : before surgery she had pain in both legs and it was for last 20 years and area was only left 2 mm ( normally it should be 13 mm).
Yes, that would be a sign of failed back surgery syndrome. It would be best for her to get a consult with a follow-up MRI.
