- Degenerative disc disease is awful. It hurts, it’s scary and it’s a problem. I’d love to share what causes it and what we can do about it!
If it shoots down the leg- you have many good options, but let’s diagnose it first!
Hey there, I do about 15 new patient telemedicines💻🌎 every week. Here is the best path forward:
1- email your insurance card to Spine@TSCspine.com (We don’t take HMOs or Medicaid, but can private pay, unless Medicaid)
2- if we take that insurance THEN upload your images to my portal for our 1st visit.
3- I must have X-rays and MRI, X-rays are critical! “Just” MRI isn’t enough. Need to be from last 12 months. Nothing older is needed, or wanted.
4- You need to get your CD 💿 of your X-ray and MRI (imaging centers will never send them to us)
5- On the top of my website (www.DonnallySpine.com) is the link to UPLOAD images, from YOUR HOME! 🤯🥰 (or at a CVS with Physician LookUp Code k5037438)
6- To recap: email us, get CDs, THEN upload!

I had a L5-S1 rupture. It pinched the root nerve that goes down my left leg and I couldn’t even straighten my body out for a month. I crawled all over my house and could barely use the toilet. This is so interesting!!
Same with me! Very difficult to find a position to sleep in. If you do, after awhile you get a hot spot and want to turn your body to a different position. Then comes that long sharp knife…stabbing you in the back. Extreme pain. Then you start all over trying to find a position of comfort ….but never get a good night sleep.

Omgsh yes. I cannot lay on my stomach anymore. I really only sleep in 2 hr intervals. Then I have to re adjust. The hardest I sleep is after my husband gets up for work. Then I can roll over in one direction instead of twisting and sliding underneath myself. Once in a while my mom will give me one of her meloxicam pills. It’s for arthritis but it’s not an opioid. I’m not opposed to taking pain meds, I just don’t want to be on them long term. My doc gave me a low dose tizanadine and that seems to help some of the nerve pain. Good luck in your future, hope you feel better soon.
Well, lets Telemed📲 email insurance info! THEN mail📨 or upload💿💻 MRI & X-RAYs from within 1yr. See my bio more info!

Avoid surgery. I’m about to have my 6th.

That ship sailed years ago. I had to have it though because my root nerve was compressed and I was paralyzed. I’m grateful I can walk now. I always have pain and sleeplessness, especially after a long day. I can’t wait for the arthritis to set in.
I have two replacement vertebrae in my lower back L5 S1.
I also have 3 fused in my neck C5,C6,C7.
I also have three anchor pins in my left shoulder holding my pectoral muscle in place.
I also have dupitryenz in both of my hands, 4 surgeries three on my right hand and 1 on my left.
I have neuropathy in all of my extremities and I am still kicking ass working in mining at 53 years old!!! AMERICAN BADASS!!! A REAL MAN NEVER QUITS.✌️😎🇺🇲
Thanks for the follow
Never give up! Your awesome
@user-hi1dj9kq8v thank you very much, I never will give up!!!👍😎🇺🇲
Jfc. I just got 3 decompressions on my spinal nerve in the lumbar and one fusion. It hurt like hell and I still can't walk, even though it's been almost a month.
@lazer2521 walk every day!!! It's the best thing for you to recover! Use a walker or a cane,go to your local high-school track and WALK.
Believe me I know what pain you have, push through it.
WALK!!!👍😎🇺🇲
I needed to know this, I have major back issues
✅
I have herniation in my neck and in my lower back from a car accident.
Doc your info is super valuable I can't thank you enough please keep it coming🎉
👍
Also spinal and epidural needles are inserted below where the spinal cord ends.
Yes
You're not totally fine if you push really hard on the L1-L5. I wasn't able to stand up without pain for the past 6 years and that's where all my herniated discs are, the ones that can totally calcify. I just had 2 decompressions at L1-2 and 1 decompression at L4-5. I also had a fusion at L1-2. I can attest that I'm now paralyzed from the waist down after the 4 surgeries I had, even though they were supposed to allow me to walk without pain.
Yes
Thank you for educating us
For sure
Unfortunately insurance companies would rather pay for laminectomy decompression, versus rods to support the cervical spine🤔
Just need the right indicator and they approve
I was lucky. No insurance. Made the neurosurgeon WANT me to get disability,so he could get paid. Five mris will cost about 5500 dollars around here
When I was consulting my spine surgeon about further surgery for my lumber spine, I casually mentioned the numbness I was having in my hands. Suddenly, my lumber spine was not important and all the emphasis was now on my cervical spine.
👀👍
You look very smart thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome
Wow so amazing and interesting keep sharing
Thanks for visiting
Your educational videos are great. Thank you for making them and sharing your knowledge.
MK
Glad you like them!
@@DonnallySpineConsult I find the comprehensive coverage of intricate spinal knowledge explained in layman's terms, knowledge for everyone. You do an amazing job.
Well explained Dr. Chet
Thanks long time friend
You're right! I didn't know this
🥹
Wow, just a topic I was talking to my physical therapist about. I have a tethered spinal cord but don’t really have any symptoms. I’m 51 years old. I guess it’s been like that for a while. Any suggestions on how to move forward?
Thanks for the follow
I have it as well, unfortunately I’m having issues…
@@Ttraye66 what type of symptoms are you having if you don’t mind sharing
@@matterafact ummmm let’s just say, there are more than the general, lower back pain, numbness in entire leg and foot, never goes away, never fully emptying when I urinate, frequent trips to the potty, I counted 28 the other day, and other stuff I would rather not say. Because of me having 4 kids in 6 yrs (now grown) many docs would have puffed my issues, due to having so many children, weakens the insides of ladies, but the doc, the only neurosurgeon that I have contacted that I know for a fact read my note, (as I referred to how many kids in a short time) this impressed me more than anything else. I have a lot of spinal issues, so to be heard is amazing!
@@Ttraye66 I wish you all the luck. And I hope you get seen quickly and somebody can help relieve your issues
Excellent information
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks doc
👍❤️
Wow 😮 very interesting /Thank you for the great information!!!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you. ❤ vlog. VG 🙂
Hope you enjoyed it!
I have spinal stenosis and started to be very lightheaded..... absolutele horror..... doctors are worthless, zero help
🏆
Now I have anxiety because I am almost sure if have a disc bulge or herniation
☢️
my neurosurgeon just told me that she thinks my weak legs and numbness in my legs and toes are coming from my neck. Is she right? I hope so because it’s my lower back that really really hurts me and I’ve had a spinal fusion in my lower back, and I can hardly walk because my legs are so weak and the pain in my lower back
Maybe
Me as well, except 2 18 inch rods.
No it is not your neck, while it is possible to have an unsteady gait with cervical issues, your problem most likely would be in the lumbar region.
@teresamason3930 I have the same issue and it sucks making me useless. I am just 39. What about u?? Hope u heal and find answers😢
that knowledge. true knowledge
✌️
Wow thats new to me thanks
You’re welcome 😊
My Cervical MRI says C4-5 disc bulge w/ right foraminal protrusion and disc osteophyte complex formation indents the thecal sac. And results in mild spinal canal, mild left and moderate to severe right neural foraminal narrowing. If you break that down it says “indents the thecal sac” and my pain management nurse practitioner keeps saying it is not saying that. Of course, there are other issues but this thecal sac thing isn’t as talked about on the net so difficult to find info
Wow
Question please if you have a lumbar problem and are chiari and cyst in cord never had having decompression surgery can you still have any spine surgery or will it effect the brainstem? Thanks for videos
That is not something I manage
I've lost an octave of vocal range due to not being able to tilt my head back

Curious . I r had now 3 huge spinal surgeries ... I'm finally walking after 22 months of being bedridden .
I'm working to be okay again . 😊
You can do it!
My grandson has tethered chord. Scheduled for surgery, scary😔
Thanks for the follow
Interesting 🧐
Very!
Gracias Doctor tube accidente de carro quedé con tres vertebras salidas
Las vértebras son Abajo
Mil Gracias
✌️
for people with no health insurance would sponsoring and picking a lucky winner per year for a spinal surgery be a good idea to get your name out there?
What?
That is the exact area of my spine that is the source of chronic pain.
But how to treat it???
Wow
My friend told me that disc herniations* in the lumbar region permanently damage the spinal cord like furniture that leaves an indent on a rug. Is this not true for the lumbar region? Only thoracic and cervical?
Hard to tell just from this
@@DonnallySpineConsult thanks. Sorry, fixed speech to text.
I need help!
When I sit or sleep my back side gets numb. The sides of the thighs and the buttocks gets numb and painful.
But once I stand up every thing goes away.
I am tired of this
It has been
8 years.
I am suffering

👍
WOW😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤
Yep
Wyd push like with your fingers
Yes
My disc herniation in indenting upon the thecal sac, is this of any concern?
Not sure
I have to keep using my inversion table like 2 or three times a day. If I don’t sometimes when I’m at work I get headaches. Is there anyway to keep my back straight and not rely on my inversion table all the time. It’s hard to go on a 2 day trip because I have mid to upper back pain because of my disc being compressed.
Nice
Wow you're talking about me yes 1 and 2 is where my back problem starting with the accident that I had, another decision of life or death. I picked the possible death instead of taking someone's life. It was a holy sacrifice of my self in that quick split decision knowing I could not hurt another to save myself. It happened on Savage road that ran parallel to route 80. A trucker minding his own business driving his own truck saw the accident and he ran across the medium to get me out of the car. I really had no memory for a long time years. When the memory started to br seen all's I remember for a long time was beautiful sunlight blue sky and puffy Columbus clouds. Kind of like what I envisioned saw as a child in the backseat of my Nana's cab while still in a basket. Sunlight blue puffy Columbus clouds. So I guess what I'm saying is yes you get little segments of different vision that you might have experienced at the beginning. 😇🙏 Who the trucker was I never knew but I can only right now can say I hope that his soul has been blessed 🙏 😇 for eternity. Thank you sweet Jesus 😊 for my forgiveness and the ultimate salvation ❤️ you have given me through my trials and tribulations.
Let’s fix it
@@DonnallySpineConsult what a wonderful thought actually the VA was supposed to do a back operation back in 2008 but they changed their mind for some reason. Sometimes things happen for the best. I know that somehow my discs fused I don't know if it was from the liver operation and the extensive use of the of the surgical Bouvier at the time they were removing lap pad and clamps that were forgotten from the actual liver transplant. Sometimes I think it gives me more problem but knock on wood the last month has been better because I've learned how to take pressure off of the sciatic nerve. My particular case it happens in both cheeks and both legs put a lifetime of you-know-what you learn you had to sleep on the floor how to hang from pull-up bar. I think the one vertebrae is probably pretty much deformed probably number number one which is deformed. I know I shrunk 🤣. No pain no game sailor 😭. It actually started when I was seven and tried to tame a donkey who was chained with a very very thick chain. I did what everyone always tells me not to do and anyway I thought I could tame on my got to where he was chained and yeah let me tell you it wasn't a happy camper! So I turned to run I tripped almost where the end of his chain would have been. Face first turned over real quick and then reuse he's up in the air in The stomping position he came down and stomped on my chest. So at the age of 14 a spot was detected in the school X-ray and turned out to be a cracked rib with a deposit. So of course they removed it setting me up with a nylon rib. Knock on wood there hasn't been a problem. Will Dr. God is great 👍 Has always let me carry on. I'm not sure what my immediate future is going to be. And there's other things that are wrong even though doctors of always been amazed that I've healed through whatever. Bless your heart and your family my friend. Thank you for your loving gesture and your empathy. Let's work on the crippled that's where the repair is really needed the children that possibly can live a lifetime of wellbeing. 🙏😇👍🙌🌅🧬
My MRI said my thecal sac near L5 S1 was "completely obliterated" from a herniated disk. Should I be scared?
That’s pretty bad, happy to see you tomorrow
