I'm sorry I haven't gotten my x-ray in a timely manner. I was scared of getting more bad news 😢

Please don't give up on me 😢I really need your help 😢

Currently dealing with moderate disc osteophyte complex on my C5-6 causing moderate foraminal narrowing on the left and mild impingement on my cord. Got the numbness, neck pain and even have had headaches everyday since it started 5 month's ago. Conservative treatments arent really working and hoping to meet more specialists to discuss my options. I live in Canada so it's quite a wait to see one. But this video gives me hope. Glad to know there are solutions even if it is surgery

Are there surgeons in NC that so the same procedures?

You truly are an amazing surgeon. 💖

Amazing story I had my first back surgery for years ago my second one two years ago and that one put me in a wheelchair and I have cancer of course so that doesn’t help anything at all, but it’s kidney cancer and managed but at the same time I now have a third disc that’s bolting out like a knot on my back and Intense pain of course I’ve been on Pain Management for almost 5 years as well due to the severe pain in my back. I am totally blind and doctors. Don’t wanna help me. I don’t know if it’s Medicare. I don’t really understand but they tell me my cases, too complicated and that There are fear of infections and all these excuses, but they don’t help me when you are totally blind you can’t even reach out to people. I can watch the video and tell you my comment, but it doesn’t get me any help and I’m stuck in a system that feels like they know it all and breaking out of that system in Richmond, Virginia when you are on disability and Medicare, and when you are disabled and can only depend on certain people to help you, I don’t have family or anyone it is just me and at 50 years old I can barely keep my apartment clean and get people to help me. I survive on milk and I have lived on milk for almost 19 months no solid foods because of the nausea and of course, all of these things I’m sure some of our attributed to the pain medications which I have managed well however, there’s still a part of my life. I don’t think this misery has any into it at all. I almost wonder if they did all of this just to make my life hell 4:45 4:45 4:45 4:45 4:45 I really don’t remember what I’m supposed to feel like as a normal person anymore or what normal feels like at all. I would be lucky if I ever worked again but I would love to have some of my life back. My wife died five years ago and I feel like I must’ve died with her because I’ve done nothing but have surgeries from kidney surgery to back surgeries, and they just seems to be no end. Just wanna walk around and touch trees and feel normal. At least as normal as I can with my disability I’m not trying to complain. I’m trying to stay the fact this is one case of so many of us who are overlooked I’m not trying to. I’m just saying I’m willing to give that a try and try to be understanding, but I wish there were people out here more spine pros who were really out here available to people like me, because even if you told me to come to you and see you because how would I get there? I can’t drive and I am blind in wheelchair plans truly I think they’re just gonna keep pushing pills at me and sending me home because of risk or whatever other excuse, I don’t even understand the excuses anymore.

Don’t get too excited I had microdiscectomy L4/L5 large herniated disc. Yes the surgery worked, I had 11 years pain free, but sciatic pain is back and will not respond to treatment. My doctor was very uninvolved and I had no idea I should be doing things to prevent this is from coming back. Well looks like it is a chronic issue now and I may have to live with this the rest of my life. Should I choose to live. To anyone out there become your own doctor, you’ll be much better off and do your research. Healthcare in Canada is so poor now and you can’t even pay for a private MRI anymore. Huge waits, lack of machines and doctors here.

Do you have videos on what PT, diet changes etc..I can do to heal? I don’t live anywhere near you. Thanks

There's nothing wrong with "a big line down my back...." I have one. I also have another "big line" going from my right shoulder, to beneath my right breast, as well as a scar from my chest tube.... Her statement is quite a rude and insensitive.... "Know your audience..." You should EXPECT people who have had "big lines" from back surgery (such as myself) to come to this video. And then you're gonna say junk, like that....? K. My scars make me who I am, today, idgaf if you apparently think they're ugly. I find your lack of filter ugly... I'm sure I'm not the only person with "big lines" who has watched this video and was offended - I'm just the first to say something.

I have double Pars and been living with it for 30 years waiting for surgery to improve. I do core stability exercises, keep fit and still have issues. One thing that seems to help is sleeping on my back with a pillow under my hamstrings. I think it curls my tailbone / L5 S1 vertibrae in towards my stomach and opens up the disc allowing any inflammation to go down. Anyway it seems to help.

Thank you spine pro for trying to help me. I know you would help if you could. I'm pretty useless to my family I can't do anything but exist because of another surgeon I will never have a good life 😢

How long is the healing time expected?

I had spinal fusion on 4 levels and a decompression 20 months ago unfortunately it was not a success I now am in hospital writing this because i have my leg amputated yesterday' because the nerves dont work on my leg and was pooling it has been a hard road but i keep paying, prayers to everybody suffering

I just came back from my Dr's appointment, and he gave me every reason why I won't be able to get the surgery

Please go to the surgeon who did this horrible surgery on me let him know that this is not the best surgery for everyone when I went to him for help with this he treated me so cold 😢 it was heartbreaking I cried for a long time His name is Dr Buchanan at Colorado Brain and Spine in Aurora Colorado please go to him and teach him how to treat humans 🙏🏾

Is it only proper for lomber? Or can it be applied for cervical stenosis?

I would do anything to be able to not have to use narcotics I have been on 20mg oxycodone since 2021😢I find myself looking at regular everyday people and thinking look at them probably doesn't have to take anything for pain or 🤷🏿‍♀️sometimes I wonder if I can have a normal life again and pain-free and enjoying life because right now I only exist because this isn't living for the last 3 years I have had to stay at home in pain in the bed i can't even go to the grocery store because I walk like a toddler and its not promised that you will get a buggy to shop with i can't cook anymore because i don't have any hand strength to chop and dice and I love love to cook I wish I could travel to see my grandmother who is 93 and in better shape than me and my grandmother had 14 children and has over 200 grandchildren ❤me I'm trying to get my life on track 😢I just got out of a 26 year very very abusive relationship that's where my story of surgery began i believe it was bad on my neck from the choking he would do honestly and after one of my fusion surgery my ex slapped me sooooooo hard that he damaged my hardware and I had to get my hardware replaced 😢and it's been downhill ever since 😢 but thank God that I'm not with him anymore 🎉🎉😊but now I have this problem 🤦🏿‍♀️I'm only 50 years old I would love to be happy in some parts of my life 😊I wasn't allowed to learn how to drive when I was with my ex because I was only 18 when I met him so he controlled my whole life but not anymore 😂😂😂 and when I get my life back that's one of the first things that I want to do is to learn how to drive 😂😂😂💯💯💯

Thank God you did your research first 💯💯💯

I'm so happy for your results 💯it's nothing like being able to live again

I have ran out of hope 😢I had 4 cervical spine surgery and I'm so miserable that I don't want to live anymore 😢

Scary

Thank you so much for sharing. I am so excited to meet him next week. I pray he can fix the huge mistake. Another doctor has done to me and destroyed my life.

Heather please contact me

Defect/stress fracture is noted involving left pars interarticularis at LS vertebral level

Um what if you can't sleep flat on your bed because you have acid reflux and the stomach acid moves up your throat making your throw up at night!

I would like to get in contact with Heather and get more details if that’s possible I’ve been living in torture for 11 months

no detail what was done or her recovery , spinal fusion is not a walk in the park !!!

I am a Vaper and I had spine surgery 2 months ago. I healed up quickly and did not have the problems usually experienced by a smoker. Apparently the British Medical Association is correct in reporting that Vaping is significantly safer than smoking. Tocacco contains over 100 harmful biproducts with every puff. It is less harmful than smoking.

Thank you good sir...

Hi doctor I'm suffering from mild L4-l5 diffuse disc bulge with annular fissure. Is it curable?

Where is your clinic? Please

Dr what’s your anti inflammatory diet? Please share.

Hello, may I know if my understanding is correct - does it mean that Kyle had VBT/tethering first but still progressed? then had undergone fusion when he grew up?

I searched a famous jazz trumpet player why the fuck did I get this video instead

The sad part for the fusions is the "if done correctly" can mostly be achieved on paper. The fusion with rigid fixation is fundamentally wrong by significantly altering the biomechanics of the spine designed by the mighty God.

What is it when it just stays at the lower back…no one can figure me out…..

I totally agree with Dr's approach about preserving the God's creation as possible as you can. Unfortunately most of the surgeons were only trained for doing fusions and they will recommend fusions without any hesitation. The fusions with rods, plate and screws are extremely invasive surgeries which will certainly lead to more surgeries for the suffering patients.

Hi, dr Melamed My daughter is 17 years old now. She had spinal fusion in November 2021. She had the fusion from t3 to L4 . It is been almost 2 years and she still in a lot pain . She can not walk for to long, she can not sit for to long. She had been home school. She went back to school after surgery but she was not able to handle it. We leave in NY. My question if she is in so much pain after all this time I believe something is wrong ? Please help!!!

Do spine surgeons still harvest autologous cancellous bone for their procedures? If so, do they prefer their graft morselized/dessicated or unaltered/structurally intact?

What about free floating fragments inside the disc ? How does one heal if there are fragments inside the disc aggravating the nerves ? I know all don’t have pain from an annular tear but for the ones who do , what can we do ? Tia

My name is Angelina, and I am an 18-year-old working student. I am writing to you today with a heartfelt plea for help regarding my medical condition. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with dextro-levoscoliosis 44° & 48°, a condition that has caused my spine to curve, leading to significant physical discomfort and limitations in my daily life. As time has passed, my condition has worsened, and my doctors have recommended scoliosis surgery as the best course of action to prevent further complications and improve my quality of life. Unfortunately, my family and I are facing severe financial constraints, making it impossible for me to afford the necessary surgery on my own. As a working student, I have been doing my best to contribute to our household and support my mother, who has a mental disability and relies on my care. However, the costs of the surgery and ongoing medical care are overwhelming, leaving us in a desperate situation. I am reaching out to you, not only as a last resort but also with the hope that your kindnessg and generosity may extend a helping hand to someone in need. Your support, no matter how big or small, would make an enormous difference in my life, allowing me to undergo the scoliosis surgery and regain my health and mobility. If you find it in your heart to assist me in this journey, any financial contribution or resources you can offer will be sincerely appreciated. Additionally, if you know of any organizations or charities that could provide aid to individuals in my situation, I would be grateful for any information you can share. Thank you for taking the time to read my message and considering my request for help. Your support would not only impact my life but also the lives of my family members, as it would relieve the burden on them and ensure I can continue caring for my mother while focusing on my recovery. If you require any further information or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at 09455865621 or angelinabarnido0125@gmail. Om. I am more than willing to provide any necessary documentation or additional details. Once again, thank you for your compassion and understanding. I hope that, with your assistance, I can overcome this obstacle and look forward to a brighter and healthier future. Warm regards, Angelina Salazar Barnido
