I had a laminectomy about 4 weeks ago. The results have been so great, what a treat to be pain free. I am 79 and am so very pleased with the results.

After 8 months of chronic debilitating pain in both legs, I had decompression surgery at levels L1/L2 and L2/L3 in November 2022. The procedure was 100% successful and the surgeon has literally given me my life back. The day after surgery my surgeon came to see me and asked me to stand up. There was zero pain in my hips, pelvis and legs. I am not at all ashamed to admit..I burst into tears. I am 64 and will soon be returning to shooting and scuba diving activities. Activities I have missed so much.

I have a scheduled Leminectomy for L3/4 in 2 days :-). I have seen close to 100+ Youtube presentation for Lumbar disc herniation and spinal stenosis. Dr. Armaghani presentation is super SIMPLE and very CLEAN and take ALL aspects of the medical conditions from symptom, to surgery, recovery and possible after effects. Amazing video for use of patients and their family members. Thank you for your efforts you put in providing knowledge to average people.

Thank you so much! Best video! I had an L4 L5 laminectomy 5 weeks ago. I am 71 and doing much better but I wish my surgeon explained the steps. I had discectomy 40 years ago and all was fine till about 8 months ago when my sciatica was so bad I could barely walk.
The 1st week after my laminectomy was rough but I am back to gardening and feeling much better.
Your video was perfectly done!!!

I had a multi-level laminectomy 4 days ago (L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1). I did not need any over the counter medication for pain. I have been searching for a good explanation of what was done and what to expect with recovery. This was by far the best explanation. Thank you.

I had the procedure yesterday with discectomy and foraminotomy. My pain today is excruciating, but I’m so looking forward to the healing.

Your video is wonderful. Thank you so much for the time you put toward this and the clarity of which you made it, sir.

Outstanding high performance presentation! Cristal clear. I (68yr old male) finally understand what my surgeon did with my spine at 4 levels L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1. Thank you very much, dr. Armaghani.

Fantastic explanation Doctor Armaghani! I had a neck fusion, C6-7 30+ years ago, now I am facing T-12-L4-L5-S1 nerve compression after 40 years of pain. Thanks for the great knowledge and information!

[douglasalan]

I’m happy to say that I had a successful lumbar laminectomy of L1-L5 in 1998. Your presentation was very informative and easy to follow.

[FeldenkraisIlanKatz]

Thank you for this intelligent, detailed explanation of the procedure and its aftermath. I'm post operative and know now what to expect. Great video.

[davlyn]

My surgery is 2 weeks away and these videos are a great help in understanding the procedure and what to expect afterward. I'm looking forward to relieving my right-side leg pain after trying everything else. I'm almost 82. Thanks.

[sandysebadduka]

Thank you so much for this video. I’m a nurse who needs this surgery soon. You made this easy to understand 💕

[mariapanariello]

I am having this surgery in four days and am very anxious about it. Your informative video has definitely put my mind a bit more at ease. It was a huge decision for me to make. Being in pain and unable to have the freedom to enjoy my life, has been quite soul crushing. I am hopeful this procedure will bring me back to the life I miss so much. Thank you so very much for your kind and caring demeanor and sharing so vividly, your expertise and knowledge. God Bless you

[jamesmazurek]

I'm having this done in a few days and I just want to thank you so much for this video and the breakdown of what I'm walking into.

[trbryant]

Excellent video! Can't say I'm looking forward to the surgery, but knowing what's involved is very reassuring.
