Thanks for watching I am one of the patients who had spine surgery due to herinated disc. Now I am one year two months old. I am ok. My surgeon told me every thing concerning the surgery and I was convinced. Thanks be to God for giving these people wisdom

Excellent video

The best doc

The best video.

What about pain around c2 or 3 (with a crunchy thing) that causes massive headaches. It starts at the base of the skull and radiates up to the temples. And switches sides. Also for me I have pain that goes down to my scapula. From my levators. I can't get those in balance no matter what I do.

I have this and need to know if I should have surgery?

Im going through this rightt now how do i get in touch with you

yes, I got c5 numbness due to the head forward pose. ouch

I have this problem right now. is there anything I can do at home to help It? Chiro and massage has not helped. Thank you 😀

Respect to your channel Dr. , For at least 15 years Dr's in the US said NOTHING could be done for my DDD. Forced out of work many times, pain management, injections, spinal cord stimulators etc etc.. I have seen every top spine surgeon in South Florida (at least 20) NONE offered help of any sort. I finally went to Germany 2 Level Lp-ESP at L4/5 L5/S1 and the relief was instant! Millions of dollars wasted, and nearly 20 years of my life destroyed for a 40k procedure, it was that simple! AND guess why I needed a 2 level surgery, BECAUSE the Americans are behind in there thinking, ASD had already moved up to the next level. My surgeon in Germany has placed over 5k ADR without an access surgeon, they are dumbfounded at the Americans!! SAD!!!

I Have a L3S1,L4L5 L5S1 this video explains all the pain except now I have a bulge on the hip and trouble walking....

This was terrific! Thanks very much for posting. Very well spoken, clear, and to the point. 👍👍

Thanks for being honest with us ❤

Any recommendations on a neurosurgeon in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area?

Hi! I was dx with DDD in 2000 at the age of 35. In 2010, I had C5-6 spinal fusion. Currently, I have multiple issues in my lumbar spine. Started treatment for this issue in April. MRI, PT, Pain management, neurosurgery consult, multiple new meds for nerve pain. Had one ESI without any relief. There are plans for a second ESI and a nerve block. My pain is at the L3 nerve root and has disabling. What are your thoughts on a course of oral steroids vs. a second ESI? I have read some research on this topic. My thoughts were systemic vs. failed localized. Thank you in advance!!

Non smoker/drinker/druggy. Had a re-fusion L4-L5 after finding out 30-years later that the first doc didn't do a good job. New Doc did a "360" S1 thru L5 then up to thru L2. Also both SI joints got screwed together. Post op 2-months, I'm doing good feeling really great no pain in legs/back. After simply pushing on my truck just a little to get it rolling into the garage for repair (crank sensor)...BAM...now I'm bent over with spasms at my belt line right side. A week has gone by and it won't stop hurting spasm sudden shock of pain for no reason or movement. Saw my Doc he doesn't want to guess. Just had CT scan today....hope nothing broke or came loose. I was doing so well with high hopes....

Doc i have this problem. Cevical spine narrow stenosis. Most of the surgeon advised for surgery. I cant afford it. Am i going to die?

Doc i have this problem. Its been 6 weeks suffering in pain and oral medications. Am i going to die if i will not do the surgery?

Doc, in my current case the symptoms is persistent. I dont want to get surgery. Ive been morethan a month suffering in tingling feeling and oral medications. Is there any therapy for my case cervical spine radiculopathy?

Awesome, as always. Please continue with your videos. Such informative information for patients and all disciplines of healthcare. Thank you!

I had a laminectomy last year, felt great for 5 months and then the pain came back Now they want to do a fusion. At first they said alif at the L4-5 level where they didlaminectomy. Since i got an injection at L4-S1 and avtually felt relief for a week. So now if they go in i want both levels taken care of so i dont become a surgwry customer.

Hello doctor, I had been having back ache issues for a long period, but since January the pain was unbearable and I consulted an orthopedic doctor and he suggested some pain killer and nerve relaxation medication. It used to work sometimes and sometimes not. In march i took a cordalblock injection, it gave me relif,but on may 19th the pain suddenly reappeared and it was totaly bad. I got pain killer through IV but not much help. I unbearable went a spinal fusion surgery on L3,L4,L5 and S1. There is no pain sincethen but the strength on the affected leg is very less and I am using a walker for my needs. Started physiotherapy since discharge and now zi am able to walk without the help of a waker but my hip falls when walking and I am not 100% as I cant walk like normal people. Can you suggest what has gone bad in my condition. Sujit

Sir can you suggest exercises for s curve scoliosis?

❤❤

Excellent explanations! Thank you so much, Dr. Khan. Your videos are always helpful. Greetings from Germany.

Does chiropractor adjust s1 L4 n L5 compresson?

I’m not a smoker

I had to laminectomy L5 S1 2012, 2013. After surgery six weeks later the pain was back scar tissue grew. I couldn’t feel my foot. 6 months later surgeons operated & cleaned scar tissue. Six weeks later scar tissue back. Today new MRI scar tissue grew 3x’s bigger. Is there any new procedures to help me? I’m in horrible pain now. Foot is on fire, cannot wear sock, pain is unbearable? Injections help 20%

I feel like I need to inject morphine straight into my calves it is so freaking painful

Thank you, I'll see my GP and ask for further tests and maybe the possibility of an invasive procedure. Take care. Amazing, knowledgeable and helpful 👍🏻

Amazing explanation

I have c5 trapped nerve, very painful, Ive had physio therapy for 3 years with no change. Any idea of releasing this nerve when its inflamed?

Great video.

Dr. You should learn how to do ADR and do it instead of old style fusions.

I had L4-5 laminectomy/ Discectomy and had more pain after. after PT for six months and injections I got second opinion. They said my spine was unstable and nerve crushed so did L4-5 fusion. Still had a ton of pain for the next 2 years. I had mri n ct scans. The surgeon said everything looks great. He said maybe it's your SI joints. He said it's common after spine surgery. So I did PT for two more years and more injections. After that, I ended up with 6 ifuse rods across my SI joints. Now I'm in more pain. This neurosurgeon that did the Ifuse did an MRI and he noticed the screws in my nerve canal. He said this didn't look right. So now I went to a trauma surgeon to help me figure it out He said on your L4-5 fusion you have two screws sitting inside your nerve canal. You need to get those out and he doesn't do spine surgery. I went back to the surgeon who put them in and they said we take full responsibility. I was fused so they took the entire cage out and left the plate. Went for my follow up with the surgeon and they changed it to the PA. They said that he will not see me. When I saw the PA, he was in the office and turned away and wouldn't even talk to me on my husband. The pa said he won't see you. Now I'm in the process of getting the ifuse rods out at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. All my surgeries were done in the Boston area and I thought we had great surgeons. I am terrified now. I wish I had someone like you in the beginning. This has been life altering. I've got four children and two little granddaughters and I hardly ever see them and it breaks my heart. my husband and I have not gone on vacation for the last five years I am basically in bed on an ice machine, majority of the time I try to get out and walk, but it's awful. Most of this started when I had an RFA,m on l4-5 anna S 1 which put me in the hospital for five days. I also found out I am allergic to titanium. I have severe burning where the rods are. It's pure red across si joints which is reason for ice machine. I love your honesty, telling people not to jump into surgery! We need more people like you for sure this world

For mine, (C-5, 6 & 7).
