I recently found out I have L2-L3 leftward protrusion with mass effect on the nerve root, and L5-S1 “severe bilateral foraminal stenosis with potential mass effect on the L5 nerve root.”

I found this video when trying to understand what’s going on with me. I am not disappointed at all! This video has been more informative than any other I’ve seen so far, and I’ve seen dozens!

Thank you for this!

Mayo Clinic experts in Neurology told me there is nothing else to do because of the deterioration of my spine. Now they recommend in Mexico an internal pump. Tradol and tylex CD are giving me bad second symptoms.

Good day Dr. Shim. Guess I have watched almost all of your videos for I was diagnosed for having a bilateral herniated disc on L4 L5. The pain was terrible from my buttocks down to my foot, both on my left and right. Just want to ask your opinion if I decided to go for surgery, which doctor is suitable or better to do the operation, is it my neurosurgeon, orthosurgeon or the spine surgeon? Thanks in advance for your valuable hel0/advise. God bless! Ronnie - Philippines
