Doing my kinesiology first year courses, video very through and easy to understand, definitely helped a lot

This was excellent! I've been looking for apical ligament anatomy and function and found this great summary. Still looking for apical ligament though lol 😅

11:58 I was not aware that the disc had pain nociceptors, thanks

You have the interspinous ligaments pointing in the wrong direction

Do you know if its required to cut the anterior longitudinal ligament for disc replacement surgery or can it just be pushed aside?
What about the PLL? If they are cut do they heal and re-attach?

I have severe foraminal stenosis and cord compression from disc degeneration.

Are you a doctor ? I’m wondering if you treat people ? I had an accident years ago, long story short I had really bad back pain lower back ; i had many many tests done …. Even a ligament doctor said i had 17 ligament injuries. Ultimately led me to a 3 level fusion Sacrum to L3 ! About 4 months post op my back almost directly on top and around my spinous process started KILLING ME ! Also the back of my neck / back of skull started KILLING ME ! I’ve seen doctors and they have ZERO answers ! I’ve read of a doctor in California that will Inject with some Xylocane to see if that’s the pain generator … I can literally touch my pain on and around my spinous process …. Do you think maybe that’s also causing my neck pain ? Soooo many questions 😞 I can’t take the pain !!! I remember my surgeon saying he put the “ big spacers in for my fusion “ did this man stretch my spine to damn far ? Is that possible ? How can I treat this pain ? Is it treatable ? Can I have the nerves in and around my ligaments burned ? Like a rhizotomy ( is that even possible ) surgeon I talk to will even take me serious when I say I think it’s my ligaments causing pain …. Like … I think my ligament especially around the L3 is like pulled off the bone, Or definitely has a tear in it I don’t know 😞 can a ligament in the mid back damaged cause the pain I have in the back of my skull or maybe those ligaments are damaged as well ???? Is there maybe a way I could contact you for some HELP ???? I’m fckng DESPERATE!!!! I can’t take the PAIN !!!! Is there anything I can take to HEAL the ligaments ? Maybe they are stretched out and can NEVER HEAL I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ I’m pretty much bedridden brother, lay on ice pack’s constantly going on 4 years after this fusion, doesn’t look like the hardware is a problem, so my natural theory is ligaments Please please give me some guidance !!! I lost hope long ago, literally going on love for my family at this point !!!! I’m hanging on by a string !!! Thought I may Even have CCI or AAI … is there a test for that ?

What happens to the anterior longitudinal ligaments when cut for disc removal and cervical spine fusion?

10:53 is like nails on a chalkboard . It’s pronounced dis-section. As an anatomist at a leading med school I take points off from students that pronounce it “di-section” just a pet peeve.
