I’ve just had a L 4/5 & S1 Fusion three weeks ago and this is the best explanation I’ve had.

[Anita_Backrub]

I had this done 15 months ago. It went really well and I am pretty much pain free today but if you are thinking of having it done be prepared to not feel normal again for a year.

Thank you Dr for this video. Very good and plain spoken explanation! I feel better about my surgery now.

Doctor, I am suffering from Spondylolisthesis for a year almost. I have tried all kinds of medication and physiotherapy but the pain is not reduced. Do I also need to undergo Lumbar Laminectomy and Fusion as described in the video?

[eastbaycali]

Dr.Jeffords, this video is excellent. Thank you for posting. I will have this procedure at your St.Joseph's location in a lil over 60 days.

Dr Paul can you please advise when post op physiotherapy exercises should be started after a two level laminectomy?

[wrogers]

Very good explanation; clear and to the point.

I have stenosis in my lumbar spine and have been going to Resurgens for 3 years now .
My Dr NEVER SUGGESTED this procedure to me. I'm guessing this is how they treat WORKERS COMP PATIENTS. 👎🏽
I've had PT and multiple rounds of steroid shots w/ NO RELIEF.
I'm currently wearing a back brace and using a walker.
I need a NEW DOCTOR😏
