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.

Very detailed, informative and easily digestible with great delivery!!

nice review

I'm going tomorrow for c5 c6 c7 removal.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Speak up!

My sister had 2 they didn’t work I want to know why and is stimulator gods for the chronic pain that she gets

God willing, I'll be completely healed up by Christmas

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.

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?
