This video is about Posterior Lumbar Decompression and Fusion
Thanks for info
I feel set up. I just got out of a double laminectomy and three level laminoplasty surgical operation. that's real cervical decompression surgery. I found this video strange.
I'm scheduled for anterior decompression c5 to t3 in Sept any tips to prepare
Thank you for this information.
Thank you for the information! I'm having this surgery in August and this was very informative.
lol. Holding area. Like we are cattle. lol
This nurse and dr ghiselli will be seeing me in two days hopefully with surgery tofollow soon. I am in so much pain from a fall at work. Trust for these individuals is theough the roof. They are wonderful. Love them.
Thank you, very reasuring
Sounds like a very very very bad idea
I'm on day four after C5-7 ACDF. No improvement in arm and hand symptoms at all yet.
I pray for you, my hands,arms and feet are numb, surgery has not improved it yet,4 weeks
THAT WAS EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND THOROUGH THANK YOU.
What about ALif & TLif done at the same time
Thank you so much. I’ll go for this surgery next week. I’m very nervous about it. Now I learned a lot. I now what to ask my surgeon. I’m so happy for the way you explained step by step. I’m more confident.
No screws in the back. 2 level fusion??
Renee your information was so informational and has allowed me to ask questions next week.
Thank you for explaining the surgery involved and what to expect.
Thank you. I am going to have laminoplasty at UCSF soon. This video is very helpful.
Having this type of surgery on L-5 and S-1 this December 1st, 2023. Praying all goes well. Been in Chronic Pain for over 5 years now.
I'm getting mine in a month. How did it go?
Very detailed, informative and easily digestible with great delivery!!
nice review
I'm going tomorrow for c5 c6 c7 removal.
How did the surgery go? Hope all is fine with you.
The surgery went great,4.5 months in right now,still have stiffness also my back is hurting everyday now. I never had that problem before the surgery. Any info you can provide about that.
Great information I am having a ACDF surgery in Belfast Northern hopefully within next 8 weeks to clear the numbness, headaches and sharp nerve pain in upper arms.
Have you done with surgery yet bro?
I'm fused from T3 through S1 and C5/6 & C6/7, none of these videos tell you the real pain you go through. I hate when a PA or physician try to tell you how you feel when they haven't most of the time never been through it.
T3 to S1? How are you even able to move? Who on earth would ever do that? That is literally almost your entire spine. You had to have meant L3 to S1?
I love how they talk about it like it’s not a crazy invasive surgery. They need to tell you there’s a high probability your nerve damage will not heal and the purpose of the surgery is to stop progression into paralysis. Your pain may be worse, but you will be able to move. You will never be the same. Take a lot of time to complete therapy. If you go back to work too early, you will make it worse down the line. Drink a lot of water to hydrate the discs. Be prepared for a future fusion or potential reconstruction if your condition is degenerative. Good luck.
@@bethhivley2633 it's not unusual in conditions like hEDS
I had ACDF on Tuesday morning, Sent home late Wednesday. Couldn't swallow Thursday, called the doctor, Couldn't swallow Friday. Spoke with the Dr. who siad it was inflamation. Could not swallow pain killers or muscle relaxants. Or a teaspoon of water. Could not reach Dr. weekend. Emergency Room early Monday morning - immediately Cat scan. Large Hematoma was completely blocking esophagus. 5 doctor meeting. 1)more Surgery, 2)radiology procedure with a stint - quite dangerous, or 3)steroids. Steroids was chosen I had NO water for five days and no food for 9 days. I lost 20 lbs in 9 days. First days of food was cup of jello and apple sauce. 5 weeks later I still have eat very small bites and slowly. I am a singer. I have no voice. Failure to monitor drain properly. 1% risk for this procedure.
So scared my surg on 13th.
Without the complication the surgery would have been easy. Don't mean to scare you. Ask about the drainage before they release you!@@leereid4299
Omg that's what I'm worried bout! My surgery is Monday .I hope you are doing better?
Im now 2 weeks post op. I got super sick, vomiting, diarrhea, fever. Lasted 4 days. Very challenging vomiting with the neck surgery. Neck still swollen today day 14. I can eat, swallow.
I think pulling the neck drain early caused just way more swelling than necessary.
I had C5-C6. C6-C7 my doctors told me soft collar for 2 weeks. I'm 10 days after my surgery and still have some range of numbness in 2 fingers and seems like slight weakness in my arm. Should I be worried?
How are you doing now? I had acdf of C6-C7 4 weeks ago and I still have numbness to my pinky and ring finger with some weakness to my arm as well. Curious if your numbness has resolved.
Did your nerve damage get better?
I am C6/C4 and I have worked so hard my best friend
I am a C5 Quabritlegic in 35 years and my time was so hard and my left arm is very stronger and my right arm is very week and into a wheelchair and I am in Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🧑🦽🧑🏻🦼and I need a better right arm please help me Gavin Tremeer😢
I’ve watched several videos. Still haven’t seen a answer. I’m a hospice CNA so this means I have to give up my license because I can’t move people anymore. And even if I go back to a hospital CNA that will be more strenuous. I need to look into something else.
maybe scrub tech?
Speak up!
Stfu and get some hearing aids!
My sister had 2 they didn’t work I want to know why and is stimulator gods for the chronic pain that she gets
And can you get stimulator with 2 fusions
And she had a stroke during surgery
God willing, I'll be completely healed up by Christmas
Is a Vascular Surgeon for the heart?
Vascular surgeon is blood vessel (vein & artery) specialist...
@@wscart62 thank you
Cardiologist is for your heart. I have to have all 3 surgeons vascular, spine, and cardiologist. 5 more days L4 L5 S1.
If the surgery is an ALIF, that means they access the spine through the belly. There are very important blood vessels in front of the spine that have to be moved out of the way so the spine surgeon can do his or her part.
Excellant video the best I've seen. Thank you
Expect agonizing intractable pain! Your recovery if it works will take a year or more!
What about golf?
Thank u for this!!!
What does drainage mean does that mean a catheter?
Hello Dr. please I need your help what can I expect with this surgery that I will have on September. L4-L5 Discectomy, transforaminal Interbody fusion/ Laminectomy and or discectomy and posterior spinal fusion, posterior instrumentation. Allograft, autograft. Thanks. How many hours last this procedure and when I awake what could I feel. Blessings
I’ve had ALIF spinal surgery 12-2-2020… that was the 3rd spinal, the 1st & 2nd ones was botched. They put a spacer in with NO screws& it fell out & got tangled/twisted in my nerves.. 3yrs. after ALIF, I’m still in pain because of nerves. I’m only 46. I was 41 going on 42! I’m tired of crying and being in constant pain, WHAT DO I DO?
My best friend had this surgery but she had rods and screws.
Please use a table or clip on mic. even at 100 % volume, your voice is quite
Thank u so much I needed this information u cleared all my thoughts an concerns
What is the drain that was mentioned and will I have a catheter during surgery and at home?
Amazing job explaining “A-Z”!
Thank you for this video, I had cervical surgery ACDF on levels c3/c4 & c4/c5. After this procedure i was suffering pain as one might imagine, I have had spinal problems since 2013 and had a previous ACDF on level c5/c6. Because of my long standing pain history I have been on many opioids and was given ketamine after this latest procedure because of my tolerance to meds, I complained of head aches and arm aches plus blurred vision post op both a new symptom. They removed the ketamine because they thought this was to be the cause, A neurologist gave me a very brief examination and said I had a stroke during my surgery. I had many different doctors including my spinal team and I heard the phrase Horners. After 2 ct & 2 mri scans with each having a contrast on 1 scan. I was then told I have horners syndrome which I have never heard of, I’m still suffering from eye issues but the strangest thing is non sweating on the affected side. They think the cause was pressure from the tool which opened my neck, I had a cage fitted in the procedure. All the videos are good to watch as no one I know has heard of Horners. I had this procedure in the uk, it is very different approach here, I had about 12 metal staples and was an inpatient for 4 weeks.
I hope you’re doing well now ❤❤
@@Christinesobsevations Thank you, but I'm having another facet joint injection on the 27th of this month to try to help with right arm pain. But thank you for your comment, I will also be seeing a cardiothoracic surgeon for a rib issue, then hopefully I will get my lower back, right hip, right knee. Depending on how old you are and where you are located I will be Steve Austin, or the 6 million dollar man. You have to laugh or you'll cry. 😂 Lol
When can I sing?
I have spinal stenosis getting laminectomy and coflex is this good😮
How does one go to PT when they have C-palsy or nerve damage?
Really good info.
Thank you. I am having tie surgery in Houston and you answered so many questions.
Hi. Is this similar to a release surgery of a Tethered cord?
