Spinal Stenosis: SURGERY (explained at a 5th grade level) 🤓🤔

[lisamschutt]

I had that done in 2018. It was a game changer for my mobility and quality of life at age 57.

[RonMrozoski]

Had it done last year. All my symptoms were gone next day. I recommend it to anyone with severe symptoms.

Truly appreciates all the informations you shared on your You Tube❤. It gave me time to learn more about it. I also tried all your non- surgical recommendations first, as well as, helped me decide when to consider surgery.
I recently had a successful L3, 4, 5 & S1 ALIF with an amazing neurosurgeon & his medical team from South OC CA. and on way to healing.
Thank you so much and continues God’s Blessings on your knowledge & expertise, and your generosity to share and educate people like me who has spinal medical conditions too.

Does it stay off? Does that make you more at risk of a spinal cord injury with that missing?

[dianetaylor]

I just had L4 L5 and S1 fusion. I know have feeling in my legs. Not much pain

[mikegreene]

Do not play music while you're talking as you are competing with it

[lkareepaz]

Doctors where I live automatically perform fusion bcz that's all they know and Medicare won't pay for better surgery. I've learned soooo much from you, so I have more choices. A million thanks!!

Is it common for pain to return to patients after a few years? I had three herniated discs, and I have scoliosis. I had this surgery done in 2021 and i had immense relief. Unfortunately within two years I noticed pain beginning to return in my lower back. Now I have severe arthritis like pain in my lower back but xrays show no more herniation. I'm really worried that I'm going to live with this pain everyday for the rest of my life, and I'm still in my 20's..

[lesnolan]

Yeah you can include me as one of the failure laminectomies that plague back surgery.

[aleaahmed]

I have L4/L5 stenosis, bulging and herniated disc. I was and I am very scared to have surgery. Should I think of going for surgery?
Colud you please kindly advise me on which surgery and more on fusion. I am extremely grateful to you on your videos. They are very helpful and you explain your knowledge and expertise very well. Many thanks.

At what point is surgery considered??? Right now my mri indicates I have severe foraminal stenosis on my left C4 C5 and I’m feeling radiating pain that goes down to my arms as well as pins and needles sensations from time to time. Mri indicates there are bulging disc that are pressing against the thecal sac. In addition to that I also have narrowing in my lumbar with 6mm and 8mm disc extrusions that are also pressing against the thecal sac affecting nerve roots. My Lumbar symptoms are similar to my neck sharp back pain that radiates down to my legs and bottom of my feet that causes pain and pins and needles sensations from time to time. I’ve had steroid injections in my neck a yr ago and a RFA in my neck a yr ago that was effective. However this time around the RFA which I had in my neck a month ago wasn’t as effective and now I’m going to get another steroid injection in my neck on Sept 16th. My Lumbar I’ve had steroid injections in the past and did traction with a chiropractor seemed to help for awhile now the pain has returned. My question is when would surgery be considered??? Does the bulging disc have to be causing spinal cord compression to even consider surgery?

[vincewarren]

Would this work for spondyliosethesis? Wouldn't it also weaken the joint? I need it done but fear it would ruin my gym life at age 35. I'm very strong. But the pain is debilitating.

I believe this could help me but I’ve been to so many of the best in my area and it seems the approach is SCS or pain pump now.

Total laminectomy for decompression of the spinal canal is a outdated procedure. Single-sided hemi- laminotomy to remove bilateral ligamentum flavum and spurs with preservation of spinal process and interspinous ligament yields better result because of least destruction of spine structures. Concur ?

[toddgrove]

What protects that area after removal?

[pedroflores]

my mother is having this next week. T10-L3 decompression laminectomy with fusion. What do the surgeons do for the fusion part?

[Gofish]

Everyone I know that has had that done is worse off now😢

[mustafak.ismael]

So whenever remove the lamina, still require fusion?
