😂I do not know Dr. tousling, but I am three weeks post op from MILD and it is a god send! I am walking, standing, so much better! I am shocked to see that my muscles need Physical Therapy because of past inactivity! I am looking forward to activities, travel, and walking, living! This procedure is a god send!
Thank you. And please have much success in your recovery and life.
4 days out and I feel amazing. No leg pain or numbness at all. I just walked 1/4 mile
@gwe0410 .
I was diagnosed with mild to moderate spinal stenosis. I am very happy for you and your progress after getting MILD. I want to know what MILD is?

@@fc9093did you have feet neuropathy? How bout your leg-from knee down to foot. Did you have weakness? I truly couldn’t walk or hold up my body for months. Then sciatica hit me so hard -I’m a mess. L5 is severely herniated. I have severe stenosis too. The making thing is that I am now walking but still with a leg leg slight limp. It’s better but I’ll never be able to do much of anything. I don’t have back pain -just leg weakness and numb feet -bi-laterally. Setting up surgery -it’s been almost a year and I’m done. Why procedure did you have? Thanks and glad you’re on the mends. How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? Also what about lifestyle -were you active, hiking, etc….how did you injury happen?
PAIN! I have endured the Puke Causing Pain Attacks for 16 years now, and 3 surgeries, with the last laminectomy being over 5 1/2 hrs. first 4 hrs to try to open the canal. Thanks to the last surgeon, I have no more surgery options from butchering L4-S1. Thankfully, the Abbott Spinal Stimulator Implant has remedied my pain, although will not cure the canal closure. I am able to stand 6-8 hr.s now, pain free. I wish my surgeon would have been updated in his practice. Following my surgery; he is no longer in practice.
Wish they can fix me, i have massive pain every day th-cam.com/video/CY3hSrWvp-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z7AAGy2cSZoxEUEK
You are to be commended on the quality of the information on this video. I wish you had been available when I had surgery for spinal stenosis which involved an 8 hour, 14 inch incision after all of the things you have discussed.
2nd comment: I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in my 50s. Had no problems except some numbness in my left thigh; that would subside when kicked, or pulled the knee toward chest. Was a regular jogger & bicycle rider until 2021. Now have some numbness in feet. Can walk well on level ground, but carry a walking stick for when needed. Still walk, do tai chi (not like I used to) have also taken up G’kong. And sit to much. Am 86 now and think I’d be a good candidate for the MILD procedure. (Foot note: All the bad stuff happened a week after my 2nd jab of Covid vaccine)
You are good. Don't even think of surgery for your own benefit.
Nice to see you again Dr.Toussi! Knowing my history of back problems, both lumbar an cervical, I'm seriously thinking about making an appt. with you and traveling to Lynchburg to see if the MILD procedure would help me. My neck problems have gotten much worse.
very well done thank you for your post.Hearing about different procedures is much appreciated
I really enjoyed watching this informative video I've got this problem. I've had it for awhile I really need to have something done before this gets too much worse
Very good presentation and after discussing questions
Thank you so much Dr. Tousling, I will be having a spinal fusion, I had a lumbar decompression 1 1/2 year's ago the pain never went away completely it's only on the right side of the back, leg, and groin area now the pain is on my buttock. I hope this time the surgery works
Thank you so much for the information. I see my surgeon tomorrow because the ESI are not working. I’m praying for the MILD procedure. (In Houston, TX)
Thank you Dr. Toussi. The MILD procedure sounds very interesting. I am seeing another Dr there at the Lynchburg office and have had two injections; the last one was in January. I believe the Dr.mentioned the next step would be a form of cauterizing some of the nerves in my lower back to relieve the pain and stiffness. I have had problems walking distances,that probably caused some of my weight gain. I also have pain when standing for any extended periods and of course doing any vacuuming . I am wondering if the other Dr. does the MILD treatment because I really need something that is almost permanent. My mom had 3 back surgeries back in the 1960's and 1970's. My Dad had back surgery in the late 1990's. Both my sisters had dual hip replacements in the last 3 years. I feel in someway cursed.
Are there other places where this MILD procedure can be done? Like California & west coast?
I have a disc bulge at L4-5, and mildstenosis at L-3-4 with diffuse bulge at same location ; also moderate stenosis at L4-5 and L5-S1 has diffuse disc bulge but no stenosis. Previous laminectomy at L-5-S-1 in 2000 with great success.I am a healthy 72 year old female. Starting with epidural tomorrow. Kristy Patterson
My husband is 43 and was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in his early 20’s and was discharged from the army. The pain has worsened in the last couple of years and is effecting his daily life. We are waiting for an MRI to see if he needs surgery or treatment. Could the MILD procedure help?
Hej again the best compassionate best Dr.EVER What can I do when I have painful knee ( Arthritis 4) and also lumbar stenoses )some of exercises is not good for knee problems as your recommendation on video about knee problems ( stretching legs and so on ) thankfully for your answer.. 🙏💖🌈💖🙏
Can you tell me why...with spinal stenosis..that my legs gives out..?? What can I do to stop from falling.??
can covid vaccines cause peripheral neuropathy symptoms? also, can the MILD procedure be used with central stenosis? and foraminal stenosis left? L4,L5,S-1?
Hi there Dr Toussi . I'm 61, suffer with fybromyalgia osteoarthritis in both hips and lumbar spine and have been diagnosed just this week with Spinal Stenosis ! Im wondering if the MILD procedure shall work for me ? I really am in chronic pain ....
What about incontence? Can’t sense the feeling to go!
I have foot drop from moderate to severe stenosis results just now. Problems with pee/poo on other videos is considered an emergency but could just be incontinence you know I’d get it checked out
Do you have any information if our doctors have this in Orlando, Florida
Thanks for the info

I have Ruptured L 4-5, S 1 and formanal stenoses
Dr I have been doing physical therapy for my spinal stenosis but as soon as I am off the table my leg acts up. With burning stiffness and serious numbness which affects my daily walking.
What are your thoughts about ablation?

I've just been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and I have the usual pain from the buttocks area to my feet. I sometimes get cramps in my legs and sometimes going up the stairs I experience weakness in my knees. I'm currently doing exercises which seems to help with the pains and my back sometimes feel stiff. Unfortunately I can't get to Virginia as I'm living in London. What other things could I do to help me as I was told there is no cure for this disease? Thank you
What about corterisation of nerrves 24:19
Use of ultrasound instead of metal burs to prevent nerve damage
Ultrasonic tool to remove arthritis blocking channel. Can you do this?
So sir ,, what do you suggest ,, 65 + year old ,, they ( my drs) want to do surgery ,,, it’s been very hard in the last 6months ,,,
I have this and it's painful and I get treatments for it. I'm in my 60s.
Help! I have been suffering for 10+ years now and 2 back surgeries later I'm so much worse now than I was before 😭
I'm being crushed from my lower back to my feet. Hot burning pain, numbness, tingling and pins and needles. I have had the si joint issues confirmed but the RFA only took the cement out of the back of my legs and butt. My back pain is much worse after the RFA because it released the muscles that were holding my together 😭
Thank you for information could you please let me know which brand and from where to buy PEA. Thanks
How long can it take to feel relief from MILD?
Tysm
Too much epidural shot DESTROYED MY HEART
Prayers for you
@tlc2964 Thank you so much my sister and may our GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR YESHUA BLESS YOU ALWAYS LOVE PANDO FAMILY
My 4th and 5th lumbar is gone already.
I am 86 years old would I be a good candidate for this procedure?
Hello! Please contact your surgeon to find out if this procedure is right for you.
My excruciating back pain that travels from the back toward the left femur down to the kneecap is caused by Neurofibromatosis. I have tumors all over my spine they compress organs. I have down a procedure called Laminectomy.
Thanks so much doctor, I have spine problem I also have knee spur and I can't walk stand sit for long
why hasn't Dr Reiss heard about this
Hear about spinal stimulation??
I have looked into spinal stimulation and feel that this minimally invasive procedure offers much more hope for elimination of pain without the side effects of spinal stimulation.
I wish you hadn't added the music. I have spinal stenosis (recently diagnosed) so I want to learn about it, but the unnecessary music irritated my misophonia, so I had to stop watching. I just wanted to listen to the gentleman speaking. :-(
Post laminectomy❤
Did it help you? It didnt help me.😊

LONG TERM ESI will make your problem worse. Do your research. 99% of people should not have this done !
Doctor. Thank you for that video.
You mentioned alpha lipolic acid as one of the nerve medication.
What is the recommended dosage please
