  • The goal is to avoid surgery!
    -
    In this video I review the ways the spine SURGEON helps guide the patient away from surgery until it is absolutely indicated!
    -
    I do about 15 new patient telemedicines every week. Here is the best path forward:
    1- email your insurance card to Spine@TSCspine.com
    2- if we take that insurance THEN upload your images (get the CD from image center) to my portal for our 1st visit
    3- I must have X-rays and MRI, X rays are critical. Just MRI isn’t enough. Need to be from last 12 months. Nothing older is needed, or wanted.
    4- You need to get your CD 💿 of your X ray and MRI (imaging centers will never send them to us)
    5- On the top of my website (www.DonnallySpine.com) is the link to UPLOAD images, from YOUR HOME! 🤯🥰
    6- recap: email us, get CDs, upload

    I have spinal stenosis in L4and L5,diagnosed in 2018. Was consulted to a neurosurgeon by my neurologist but unfortunately up to now haven’t heard from him. It’s getting worse in fact I am using a walking cane as sometimes sudden buckling of my leg. I was finally seen by a pain specialist. With the treatment with medications it’s helping and am using a lumbar belt. The fortunate part of it is my right leg is good with no pain or any other symptoms and I can drive a car. By the way I also have seen a physiotherapist and am doing the exercises that was told to do it bid. Your video is quite excellent and I can fully understand my situation . Thank you.

    71 year old athlete in Tulsa. Sprinted in yard and tripped Jan 6. Many visits to 3 orthopedic surgeons and 2 MRI revealed torn hamstring and an extruded herniated disc in the L-5, S-1. Two months of excruciating sleep-depriving constant pain. My Primary Care DO referred me to the Pain Management Center. Yesterday morning while prepping for Epidural, the techs mentioned that "sometimes" if no relief people will schedule another treatment the next week. During procedure, the doc and her female techs maintained what seemed a super casual conversation about plans for St Paddy's day while I was excruciating for the few minutes of treatment. You mentioned at 10:24 "unethica pain management. When a tech plants the notion of another treatment the next week my red flag goes up. Your presentation is the best!!

    Wow! That was an excellent presentation. I was a career Army officer and we always tried to comminicate very complex things 'at the 8th grade level' so everyone can understand the task. In order to do this you have to really know your topic. I think an 8th grader could understand your presentation. I'm going through the lumbar/sciatica process now. My chiropractor recommended I persue the pain injections. He mentioned the diagnostic benefit as well. I have found the injections very helpful for my neck. At the VA where I get treated, for a chronic problem you have to be referred to the spine surgeons by pain management or physical medicine, so they don't QB the injections.

  • @excalibur1812
    @excalibur1812 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Thank you for the clear and definitive explanation. EVERYTHING you discuss in this video had happened to me. It started with scoliosis, then enherniated discs, now severe, high-grade spinal stenosis. I have 3 bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and now the surgeon that I consulted in Georgetown says that without the cartilage, I have an upper disc that has permanently slipped below the lower one. He showed me the MRI and explained that at the lower discs, the nerves are not visible at all because of the severe compression. Not to mention degenerative disc disease. My conditions are also complicated by tearing both of my hamstrings and they didn't heal properly. My primary care doctor reviewed the MRI and said "WOW, that's an awful lot going on with your back!" No kidding. The surgeon said that he couldn't believe that I could still walk because I had the worst case he's ever seen. He wanted to do surgery, but a 3-month recovery with NO bending, lifting or twisting. Since I live alone, that's not happening. The constant excruciating pain has become so unbearable that I can't even sleep in bed anymore, but I have to sit up on my couch. On some days, it's tolerable. It's also exacerbated my chronic sleep disorders. I'm just a mess in general. I'm in Killeen.

I’m going to pt now hoping I can get some relief. It seems to be helping. I’m gonna ask my doctor about the steroids and injections.

      Hey there, I do about 15 new patient telemedicines💻🌎 every week. Here is the best path forward:
      1- email your insurance card to Spine@TSCspine.com (We don’t take HMOs or Medicaid, but can private pay unless Medicaid)
      2- if we take that insurance THEN upload your images to my portal for our 1st visit.
      3- I must have X-rays and MRI, X rays are critical. Just MRI isn’t enough. Need to be from last 12 months. Nothing older is needed, or wanted.
      4- You need to get your CD 💿 of your X ray and MRI (imaging centers will never send them to us)
      5- On the top of my website (www.DonnallySpine.com) is the link to UPLOAD images, from YOUR HOME! 🤯🥰
      6- To recap: email us, get CDs, THEN upload!

    I have this issue with weak muscles due to nerve degeneration. Is there any way that nerves might heal after surgery. It has been over twenty years when I was diagnosed with it and I opted not to go for surgery.

    Is there any supplement which may help in nerve regeneration?

    I had Spondylolisthesis from pars fractures that formed between ages eight and fifteen. That and arthritis and disc herniation caused my stenosis was so severe (bone on bone) where I had no choice but to have anterior and posterior spinal fusion surgery and that really helped me. The Spondylolisthesis and Stenosis is also genetic.

    That was an excellent explaining, thank you so much. I am going to be seeing pain management for the epidural injections of L4-5 and L5-S1. I have several levels of degenerative disc disease and disc desiccation too.
    My question is how long can I continue to take anti inflammatories like Aleve, or Advil without it causing harm to my liver or stomach??
    I’ve been taking a combination of Advil and Tylenol alternating every 4 hours. (Doing this until I can get my epidural scheduled). I also realize I will need to stop the advil before the procedure. I have also had several courses of medrol dosepack over the last 8-9 weeks because of the pain. Fortunately my pain has begun to subside slightly, and I am not showing weakness in my legs any longer. But that’s only been about a week or so now. I hate taking the meds but the pain was debilitating at first. So glad it is beginning to get better, or maybe the meds are just working better now.
    Thanks for your time.

    Very interesting information. I have been suffering with lower back pain for the past four years but now it’s getting better because I exercise regularly. Sometimes I get this shooting pain right down my leg and it’s very painful. I was diagnosed with lumber disc herniation of the third and fourth disc. What else must I do to get rid of this situation? Hoping to hear from you. Thank you very much.

    I have the weakness in legs - especially the right leg. PT tried to get me to increase strength, but it caused more back problems. Been in PT for years.
    Just discovered many of the exercises in PT could be making spinal stenosis worse. Those are lower back strengthening exercises - like bird dog, or superman, hip flexor exercises - like leg raises or marching, and piriformis stretching, or reaching across to feet while sitting and hamstring stretches.
    I've got to get the stenosis specific exercises, like abdominal bracing, pelvic tilt while holdingback and abs down and contracting glutes, knees to chest
    while holding the back down and glutes engaged, angry cat and ab curls - both withkab tightening and glutes engaged. Are there any PT stenosis specialists out there? All of mine seem to want me to do other stuff that aggravate my condition - while telling me that I may need hip replacement.
