It’s hard to make sense of it all as a patient. I don’t understand how someone can have God awful 24/7 intractable pain but no surgery is offered.
I offer
@@DonnallySpineConsult Unfortunately I don’t think you can for neuropathy maybe I’m wrong and I would love to be. Ortho, neuro docs tell me nothing they can do I have DDD stenosis and herniated disc that receded.
@@noexp7710I went ortho first, got discs removed and cages, L4/L5 & L5/S1. My discs were torn but 6 months after surgery and the insurance companies denying more surgeries, I'm probably going to have to lawyer up. Nearly 15 years later I'm waking up with a gutteral scream everyday and I'm already on so many meds. I'm so over it I can tell you that much
My wife recently (about 12 weeks ago) completed a micro discectomy with Doc Donnally. It worked! She had butt pain that was pretty intense. This pain did move down the leg as well. It was bad. We really like Dr Donnally and are grateful for his skill and surgical experience. After the surgery she was active (walking around) a couple of days later. The pain from the surgery diminished greatly in about a week. Minor pain lingered for about 6 weeks and was gone for the most part after 8 weeks. ❤😊
Thank you! 😊
Great information...interesting to hear about stem cells-it did nothing for my SS.
Thanks,please keep the 'talks' coming :)
More to come!
You are amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time (out of your very busy schedule) to educate us. It makes such a difference. Doctors don't usually have the time to explain spinal anatomy and possible spinal interventions. I've learned a lot from you and now know what questions to ask.
You are so welcome!

I was diagnosed with L3/4, L4/5, L5/S1 disc bulge and stenoses. I also have retrolisthesis and mild scoliosis. I had a steroid injection 3 months ago which thankfully got rid of the piriformis pain. I did not have pain radiating down my leg. Now, I am experience groin pain which I didn’t have before. I have an appointment for a second opinion, but was curious as to your thoughts on the groin pain.
Wow
I was having an emotional meltdown bc med transpo didnt show up for my epidural/steroid injection. Dr couldnt find area to give me 1 last time so I was so hoping for Xmas I could have pain relief. Then u just popped up. I know of 5 patients who killed themselves bc pain meds were cut back & they didnt have u on U Tube.
Used to volunteer with Vets & saw 2 Great Danes with spinel stenosis who had spacers & they were 100% better. So guess every1is diff. I busted my shoulder bc I can no longer walk with spinel stenosis bc of pain. I have Kaiser & so far been told I dont need to use my arm or have sex, etc. Im a tennis junkie. Willing to give up marathons but....Thank u so much. I had just given up all hope then ur video came on. U didnt mention spacers or sciatica cushion that alleviates disc pinching nerve when sitting. Leg wont go numb or electrocution while driving.
Texans used to be the most hospitable ppl but guess transplants have chged all that. Ur gun violence scares me. I hate pain & when I had fenanyl patches nobody wanted to rob me of those. I was on those with methadone & got an epidural so stopped taking them bc I had no pain. Whoops! Cardio saved that boo boo. Im afraid of fusions but knowledge is power & u just saved my furbabies from wiping my tears. Thank u so much.
PTs all say I need shoulder surgery. Sad I think of Tx as Dr Dunsch (sp?) Drug addict spine Dr so thx for giving Tx better name. Stay Safe & Healthy💜🙏💜
That’s a lot- thanks
Thank you ❤in advance for all your info and videos. Currently I have had a L5 S1 fusion. Currently experiencing 🦶 toe numbness (loss of sensation) it’s been a year and a half , do I have hope? In addition when doing a spinal fusion what determines what surgery to proceed with? Tlif, alif? Plif?
Thank you so very much. 😅😊

I had a faset block done in May this year and it was successful the nerve pain is gone. So many people said that it won't last long but it is almost mid December and I still don't have that debilitating pain. I had some friends praying for me could this also be part of this relief I am experiencing. I just want to say thank you for your very informative podcasts 😊
Wow
What is minute man surgery?@@DonnallySpineConsult
I have had lumbar spinal stenosis for years, probably from L4 -L5 scoliosis. No nerve entrapment. Just localized lower back pain when standing for over 15 min. Can walk the grocery store with a cart with no problem and can do a treadmill for 30 min as long as I hold onto something. Walking without any aids, I can go about 20 min before I have localized pain over the lumbar area. I am 74, and my orthopedist feels as long there is no nerve entrapment, no need for surgery. I am fine with that. Do you ever have an age limit where you would not do surgery? Just curious.
Maybe neurogenic claudication
Thank you for the video. Currently, I have sciatica pain cause by a herniated disk L5-s1 and also spinal stenosis, some chiropractors are giving a lot of promising results using a decompression table that they have, do you really think a decompression table like the model DRX9000will help L5-s1 herniated disk sciatica nerve pain with spinal stenosis..
Maybe- worth a try, don’t spend too much on it
I have Chronic Thorastic back pain under my left shoulder toward the spine. Using my left arm gives me SCREAMING PAIN for at least 3 hours. Suffering w/ this daily for over 6 years.
Please Help Same Thing I Deal With.

Good luck getting pain meds. I’m 76 with severe spinal stenosis. My last epidural - the doctor shot it in the wrong place. I was paralyzed for 2 hours. He then said SURGERY - fusions, laminectomy, etc. I saw a different surgeon who said an ablation is the way. In the meantime, I’m in agony. Cannot take NSAIDS or Tylenol due to kidney & liver function. NO to any meds. So, I’ll be going to Mexico again for pain meds. How awful we seniors are told to suffer. I’ve had 18 surgeries since age 28. I have a bad total knee replacement & I tripped going to apt, fractured same leg. I’m sick of pain, so if I die from fentanyl in the meds from Mexico, so be it. I just hope my family will tell everyone why.
I’m 74 and recently diagnosed with foraminal lumbar stenosis with spondy present. Is it your opinion to correct with surgery sooner rather than later, given my age?
Yes
@@DonnallySpineConsult thanks for your response. Exactly what I was thinking.
I have tingling in my fingers and burning in beforehand but not in my thumbs, and some shooting pains in my biceps for the last two months, got a MRI and X-RAY and a CT scan say my C-5 C-6 C7 , Can physical therapy or Acupuncture help?
It might- but it gets to a point where you’ve tried that and you want relief, reach out, I’d love to cure it
It’s me again; I have a SCS, not much help. Have had everything possible done except Surgery. Just don’t know what to do for this Horrific Thorastic pain. It goes from under my left shoulder near the spine and runs to the front of my body under my ribs.
I’m not sure
What bc is your opinion of Lyrica for treatment of nerve pain in buttocks and down legs into feet?
It’s goof
Good lol
@@DonnallySpineConsult do you recommend lyrica to your patients? I know it takes away the nerve pain but my kegs still feel like they are very tight elastic bands. I worry that I may be doing further damage to my stenosis when I don’t feel the nerves.
I use ICES on my L5-S1 area (spondyliosethesis) and it works wonders. Used it on my hips many years ago. It was. Created by Robert G. Dennis who also has a CZcams channel explaining the technology if anyone's curious. It decreases inflammation substantially. My nerves are still pinched but the pain is much lower. Goes to show that inflammation really is the culprit in many cases.
Nice
Will mobility return after surgery? The tingling and numbness in the feet is the worst of the neurogenic claudication.
Yes it should
@@DonnallySpineConsult do you accept patients from out of state?
@@DonnallySpineConsultand will surgery get rid of the neurogenic claudication?
What is ultrasonic spine surgery?
I have a few videos; it’s “just” using a tool to do a similar surgery as a burr. Not too special but I believe I’m good at it
You do online consultations correct?
Yep
Had FusionL123. Still have thigh L side numbness why??
What did your doc say
@@DonnallySpineConsult said would come back its been 5 yrs
God bless you
Thanks!
