I have just taken way to many hard hits, When I was about 7 or 8 years old I hit a brick wall on my bike. Now at age 58 the right side of my face is caved in it really wasn't that noticeable when I was younger. Then I put a 1969 dodge charger 24 rows into a corn field, I broke 8 ribs my sternum and caved in the top of my head from hitting the windshield. on top of taking many other hits to my head all I can say is I'm still alive... I have not found a doctor that has helped me and I have just learned to live with my symptoms. Other then the times the pain gets so bad my wife has to take me to E.R. This is my life and I know that I'm not the lone ranger when it comes to living with pain. Thanks for your time Jeffrey, I find videos like this to be good info for folks looking for help....
My consultant dismissed my symptoms. Severe neck, shoulder pain. My left arm feels on fire. Balance issues bladder urgency. Bowel accidents. Leg pain caused by painful feet. Now my left eye started closing without any effort from myself. I'm at my wits end fell downstairs many yrs ago. Lost my balance fell from top of landing broke my wrist. My hands have lost there grip strength. Also wastage of the muscles in my hand. Sorry if I go on I'm so depressed getting no help. Was up last night couldnt lay down for severe pain, burning. Many thanks for listening 😭

Wish all doctors where this smart. I have stenosis in my neck since 2016. Have had all the pain he mentioned and all the doctors except the one I recently went to said nothing is wrong. The recent doctor saw my issues did disc replacment in c6 and c7. That took away my trap pain in my shoulders. Still have issues from issues with c3 and c4 but my pain is more manageable now. All the pills, therapy and anything else I tried did nothing.
Im a 33yr old, 6' male, 210lbs and have been having issues for around 6 years. Nothing obvious caused it, grew up sportsy and active so did get gurt allot as a kid. It started with headaches and ocular migrains with auras and bad neck and back pain. Ignored it until 2021, almost passed out while driving. EMS arrived and said my blood pressure was 180 over something. Diagnosed me with "Idiopathic intracranial hypertension " and put me on blood pressure meds, but didn't help. Blurry doubled vision, sensitivity to light, constant bady pain, brain fog, balance issues, all the things in this video and more... Had some testing and they found blockage in transverse/ Sigmund sinus. Had stent placed 4 moths ago. Pain and weakness is getting worse in complete left side of body, along with decreased daily mental awearness. Beginning to also have worse and worse memory loss... But i have 2 mri's scheduled soon (Thorasic & Cervical spine) so hopefully they find something.. im tired lol

I hope this helps anyone, i suffered horrible neck pain, i prayed and God told me to take bioflex or glucosamine chondroitin with msm like from dollar general same thing. It stopped the symptoms. I take everyday and always will.
I no longer have a cervical curve. The only symptom I don't have that you described is the wasting. I was told not to worry about the arthritis & cracking my neck does all on its own. They didn't want to do an MRI until I went through 12wks of PT. I refused for someone to mess with my neck without an MRI.
Been having these symptoms in my arms for about two months gets worse at full extension hands go crazy numb tingling and throbbing. Biceps cold hands cold. Finally saw a doctor who is trying to help me neurologist and PCP are no help thinks I’m looney or googling too much. Hopefully get a MRI soon all from a work injury that was concentrated on my lower back and never thought my neck was part of it from lifting with arm fully extended downward.

Suffered from mild cevical stenosis for decades, before it cost me my job , control of my fingers in right hand and i could not hold my head up without extreme pain in the shoulder . An operation on C6 C5 C4 alleviated the condition . Im left with numbness in right hand and the entire upper right side of my body has shrunk slightly when compared to the left . If any one suffers from this condition the sooner you get it sorted the better

Thanks for giving us all important insights. I am learning a lot. I am dealing with pretty bad back / neck pains and got a laminectomy done 2 weeks ago. In recovery mode.
I was rear ended a few years ago. I was waiting to turn off the highway into my drive and a car driving 60mph hit me. The girl did not brake, full force impact. Today I have sever pain and pressure in my neck as well as my lumbar. Pressure becomes too intense that I can't sit, stand, or lay down. Nothing works. Neck pressure makes my vision blurry. I am searching professionals to help me. It will be a long process and hopefully I will feel better than I do. Thank you and God Bless

I had to have 3 levels of CSpine fused due to stenosis from paoriatric arthritis. Choose your neuroosurgeon carefully! Make sure they do 100s of fusions annually. Teaching hospitals are great, I went to UCSF.
@@magicmax6623 Not ortho but NeuroSurgery. His name is Dr Vitrucci, but he has retired. He was an Associate Professor, but you know it's the fellows and residents that care for you post-op. I saw Dr Vitrucci in the OR only during my stay. I know patients can self refer. Just get the # for UCSF Neuro Surgery and tell them you would like to self refer, as long as you have current affected spinal CT Scan and MRI they will look at your films and decide if they can treat you, and they make an appt. They have several satellite offices throughout the Bay Area Good luck!
@@joeyp12788 first things first. Most great medical centers (Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, UCSF) will allow patients to self refer. I went to UCSF, which is about 100 miles away from home, but is a large well respected teaching hospital. That way you get the best of the best. My Senior Neurosurgeon was an Associate Professor, and then you get all the motivated medical students, residents and fellows. Alot of MDs who are passionate about their work, and bc it's a teaching hospital it's on the cutting edge, the newest technology and practices. I worked in healthcare locally for 20+ years and there isn't a decent Neurosurgeon in this town. My Rheumatologist referred me blindy to UCSF. My Cspine fusion was first then about a year later had my L5-S1 fused too. If you can find it, some years ago US World US News & Reports, rated hospitals. For Neurosurgeons they suggested seeing programs or MDs that perform 300 surgeries yearly. Good luck to you. Both of my sugeries were successful and I was pain-free from the moment I woke up.
I am 73 and losing dexterity. Turning a light switch is nearly impossible with my left hand. My MRI showed severe compression by osteophytes and my balance is as you've demonstrated. I live in Dallas TX and hope to find a neurosurgeon here to carefully ultrasonicly buzz it off.

Started getting dizzy spells for no reason. Next was the hands stiff and sore, loss of grip strength, dropping things, also a lot of nausea, fatigue and weakness. Getting fused next week C2-C7 and hoping for some relief.
To save you the trouble of having to give the same answer repetitively, therefore I won’t list a full panel of my symptoms & just as a CYA, I am NOT asking for medical advice, or a diagnosis, but rather a broad general textbook explanation for how clinicians would typically treat C5-C6, C6-C7 moderate right lateral canal narrowing and cord deformity with moderate right foraminal narrowing, in the beginning stages when the discs become painful and limb & finger pain becomes apparent? Do patients in their early 40’s typically have degenerative issues of this nature?
Your videos are the very best! Although you do mention laminectomies' being done without fusion, I can't seem to find any videos about outcomes or really anything about them. All videos are about fusion. On March 8th 2023 I had a Posterior Cervical Laminectomy of C3 to C7 but no Fusion. I can't find any videos or explanations of this being done without fusion. You would do well to make one. More people than you think would watch them.
I was diagnosed with Cervical Stenosis a week ago. I also have most of the symptoms Dr. Cantor talked about. I'm considering having surgery sometime in December.
What avenues have you looked at aside from surgery?? What’s surgery are you thinking of having?? I think this doctor has some alternative minimally invasive solutions to this issue.
get the surgery, if you wait too long your arms will atrophy or one at a a time, and youll never be able to recover them again, one of my arms is atrophied and other is fine, i think im absolutely FCKED but not sure, waited 4 years to get surgery from the point of injury, dont know what the hell i was thinking,. get it done dude you look big if you stop lifting cause of this youll prob wanna commit suicide or something
I suffer from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I have 3 disc herniations in the neck C4-c6. Has terrible nerve pain in the arms and still down to the feet. Had to wait 11 months to get c5 operated on with a new disc and rigid operation. I'm still in pain unfortunately. loss of sensation also in arms but mostly left side. I also have loss of sensation halfway across my face. I suffer unbelievably every day. I also have spondylosis and spondylitis L5-s1 and also sciatica lumbago. Disc herniation L4-L5. then I have modic type 2. I have loss of sensation on my legs and in the big toe they dare or refuse to operate on me despite all the pain. I sleep with a diaper every night. Must urinate on routine because I have genital burns in the groin and abdomen. 3 weeks ago I got a back shot again. The doctor does not want to do a new MRI on me and sent me to the physiotherapist again. Should I be worried about my health? I started to get sick at the age of 19 and am 41 years old today They op mig 3 times for they carpal tunnel syndrome 😭 But is was my neck that was the problem (I often stumble and lose my balance as well. when I go up the stairs, my legs do not want to keep up many times)

I'm so sorry ): I know exatly what you're feeling. I had spince surgery for this issue in 2022 and the pain has come back. I'm really terrified right now too. I hope you're okay
@@JJbro-rt5zu I'm a little better. But sadly I'm back on nerve medication and am still in a lot of discomfort. I got an X-ray, MRI and CT scan and my surgeon has no idea what is causing my pain. I'm now waiting to have a nerve test, it's a stressful time.
@@JJbro-rt5zu I absolutely will have to if nothing comes from the nerve testing. Fingers crossed it's something minor and I'm still holding on to hope that my body is trying to recover!!
For the past three months, I've had neck pain radiating down both of my arms into my wrists and fingers. It all started after I was dealing with heavy boxes full of Christmas decorations and antiques. I also get occasional chest and shoulder pains. X-ray showed mild disc narrowing in c4-c5 and c4-c6. I think I may have permanently wrecked my spine.

@DrJeffreyCantor I deeply appreciate it. Still awaiting my blood work results. Already had two X-rays, chiropractor visits, and a course of standard treatment protocols that didn't help.
I am having same problem..Doctor suggested me to do emergency surgery..please advice me other than that what is the best treatment. Did physiotherapy and took injection on the nerve. Eagerly waiting for the reply. Thanks
I just had a MRI and was told that I dont have Spinal Stenosis like I though (based upon knumness in fingers elbow pain and stabbing back pain between my spine and shoulder blade) my regular doctor sain I have arthritis in my spine down low about C7, can your ultrasonic scalpel repair artritis just like it does on bone spurs for spinal stenosis???

I had an mri done last year results were c56 moderate stenosis. To the left.Cervical spondylosis and l5 disc degenerated. Diagnoses early DDD. Been going to physio bit not seeing enough results yet. I feel lopsided generally and when I walk. I have a problem with knee inflammation particularly the right knee. Could tmd cause any of the above. I am female 56 yrs and this all started around 2 years ago. Although had a small short lasting period re my neck in my early 40s but seemed to resolve. Your video was fantastic

I really like the ultrasound approach shown in one of your previous videos. What do you think of the ProAdjuster360 which addresses the vibrational frequency aspect of the vertebra?
I have a congenitally narrow spinal canal with mild to moderate spondylosis throughout my neck and have experienced symptoms of I guess both of those conditions for years already and am only 30.
Use cervical traction. My symptoms have been disappearing. Dr. Cantor is the best spine doctor I ever seen. My question is for Laminoplasty, what is the advantage of bone graft at the lamina gap over the mini-plates and screws?
You are lucky to get back your health, I have done 13 time DRX9000, and 25 times Mechical tractions, nothing can change! waiting for me should be surgery.. it was 8 years..
@@jackleung3458 I recently did 20 treatments of DRX9000. It made me FEEL better without a doubt, but when I did the comparative MRI it showed no improvement of the discs :( But all the time I felt like they could have gone higher on the weight (topped me out at 14lbs). Now I've found a different place that I'm going to tomorrow that has the same machine and hopefully we will go a little more on the weight/pull in hopes that I can improve. I wish my best to you!

What are the Long term rates of myelopathy recurring or continuing post surgery? I would assume depends on the surgery but multiple levels of cord compression And foraminal stenosis in cervical sign with mid-stage symptoms?
It's been about 10 years for me. Cervical surgery 2013, Bulging disc laminectomy in 2015. Recent diagnosis of severe compression of C2,3 TBD surgery. I have a neurostimulator installed. It helps with pain by emitting massage, instead of allowing pain reception.
constantly looking down and staring at your phone is destroying the curve of the spine i honestly think everyone should just get a cervical stretch collar and wear it everyday for like an hour or two before going to sleep lol@@taufik4753
What if I have all the horrible symptoms of cervical myelopathy (neck pain, numb hand, weak limbs, bicep pain, heart palpitations, hot flashes or red face etc) My mri and xrays show bone spurs; arthritis; and minimal disc bulg at c5-c6 and c6-c7; BUT the experts looking at them say that the pics don't explain my symptoms.....how much narrowing of the spinal canal is necessary to justify symptoms? I've heard there is no set rule? Apparently some have obvious stenosis and no symptoms....I, on the other hand, show little narrowing but awful symptoms....is that common?

I was told my low back Stenosis is mild. I've have pain, stiffness for decades but about a year ago started having some weird balance issues when walking, mostly changing direction, like my brain isn't communicating with well with my feet. I have knee buckling intermittently that doesn't feel structural in nature. I thought the balance thing was due to Tinnitus so I didn't make the connection until watching this video. I've had facet L4-L5 injections for a few years. They last about 2 weeks. I had rf ablation, same facets, about a year ago with the right side completely failing-only thing that happened was incredible burning pain in right hip and buttocks for a few months. I'm limited in the PT exercises because I have a poorly healed compression fracture of T12 and a herniated lumbar disc that responds poorly to some bending/twisting exercises. Because the diagnosis is "mild" Stenosis it doesn't seem like I have any options for lasting pain relief or better mobility. My last MRI was a year ago.

The only pain I have is in my forearm. I’ve had it for 16 months. I was misdiagnosed with tennis elbow. I had an MRI that clearly shows the C6/C7 disc protruding into the spinal cord. However I’m not exhibiting all the problems that others suffer from like neck pain, back pain, loss of balance, tingling sensations etc. None of that. Just pain in the forearm. I’m on the fence about getting the surgery although 3 neurosurgeons have recommended it so that the problem doesn’t progress.

I had a bad car accident back in 1986 which changed my life dramatically. I had pain and headaches everyday. But dealt with the pain by going to chiropractors and later pain doctors. I saw a spine surgeon in Houston, Texas about 3 years ago and he told me I had cervical stenosis in C3 and C4 and C5. He told me I should have surgery at that time (if not things were just going to get worse) but after viewing this type of surgery on UTUbe I decided to wait it out until something better came along. I saw yours recently and have to say I think I could do this one w/o being scared to death. Only problem is how long would I need to be in Florida to see you and do follow-up? Is there someone else you would recommend in Houston, Texas to perform the surgery? I really think I need it now because it is starting to effect my bowel and other parts of my body.
I have this same issue from a car accident 2 years ago, i went from living a happy healthy normal life, to not having the energy to work, or take care of my kids. I’m 30 btw, I too was recommended I might be needed surgery soon but I’m scared to death to go in that route, I heard prolotherapy can worked wonders with our condition. Have you heard of this?
I went to the doctor on March 1 2022 Cervical spine MRI demonstrates moderate left foraminal narrowing at C3-4. C4-5 spondylolisthesis with bilateral foraminal narrowing. C5-6 degenerative with reversal of the curvature, retrolisthesis, moderate spinal and mild bilateral foraminal stenosis. C6-7 moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis. I've had pain and headaches since I got hurt. But I have dizzy spells, just hurts. Lord sound just like how I feel.

My balance is getting worse and so painful i can't take the pain, i usually have to go to the hospital and get Dilaudid shots its not getting better, its getting worse and I can't take it, Should I get another Cat Scan or X rays to see if it has advanced??

I recently experienced having It was very painful The C7 nerve root is the most frequently involved by cervical radiculopathy. Entrapment of the posterior interosseous nerve may be mistaken for the motor component of the C7 radiculopathy causing weakness of triceps, wrist flexors and finger extensors.it was so dam painful but luckily my chiropractor is fully licensed neurologist who’s had 5 years good experience and he’s the best chiropractor doctor in my town I had this pain c7 for weeks horrible pain it was I had a appointment booked today at my local chiropractic clinic the adjustments instant relief got no pain what so ever I’m back to full health he even treats bulging discs too

@DrJeffreyCantor thanks but I'm in canada and that probably wouldn't be covered. They have offered my shots in the end or surgery I choose surgery but, it's probably be a few years till that happens. I have gotten 7 cortisol shots in the last 2 years and they don't work very well on me. Thanks tho.
Try getting a referral to a c-spine surgeon. Im going paralyzed in my feet a little, and all Dr.'s are sending me to pain management. I cut off my finger, 2nd degree burns on tge top of my thigh from dropping hot water, i cut and burn myself often but I do have to cook sometimes, its scary! Stopped using an oven a looong time ago. First 1 level cspine surgery went great, but if you have an H.M.O. ...good luck with a referral. You'll be tossed back and forth to E.R.to primary, to painmanagement like a ping pong ball. Went through this with first surgery in 2003...Dr s are now tgeir own lawyers, and patients need to go to medical school. You need a P.P.O. to get healthcare for the last 20 years here in the state of CA. No more patient advocates, I found tgat out be calling a "sort of" patient advocate person. "You are being recorded" in order to find out you have no advicate. Violation of patient privacy acts to keep the social worker safe. Hmm...
I have severe foraminal stenosis at multiple levels in my cervical spine (confirmed via MRI). When I sleep in a bad position (such as a crooked neck) I wake up and my hands are very weak, to the point to where its very difficult to even screw the cap off a water bottle. It goes away once I am up and about a few hours. Is this normal for severe foraminal stenosis? If so, how can I treat this?

I'm 19 and it's not looking great for me, they're trying to avoid surgery as much as possible because of the high risk but I'm starting to lose more and more function
They get better on some days if you really rested day before. Can be worse if cold weather....activity....or trying to lift..or bad night sleep. I can't even lift gallon of milk. Or open a jar. Activity makes it worse. But you have to stay active or joints " lock up" muscles too.
I’m in a small town in WA where there are no back specialists. I have moderate and severe areas bilaterally, in 3 different places on my neck. Whereas PT has always worked for me in the past, I feel as though I’m worsening now, and I have two weeks of PT left. The double steroid injection caused a muscle injury, and I now have pain in a area I didn’t before. Arms/fingers/ neck have massive pain. Are you seeing patients out of state?

I have just taken way to many hard hits, When I was about 7 or 8 years old I hit a brick wall on my bike. Now at age 58 the right side of my face is caved in it really wasn't that noticeable when I was younger. Then I put a 1969 dodge charger 24 rows into a corn field, I broke 8 ribs my sternum and caved in the top of my head from hitting the windshield. on top of taking many other hits to my head all I can say is I'm still alive... I have not found a doctor that has helped me and I have just learned to live with my symptoms. Other then the times the pain gets so bad my wife has to take me to E.R. This is my life and I know that I'm not the lone ranger when it comes to living with pain.
Thanks for your time Jeffrey, I find videos like this to be good info for folks looking for help....
I have never heard such a detailed description of my problem. Thank you Jeff, you are the best and highly rated spine doctor.
My consultant dismissed my symptoms. Severe neck, shoulder pain. My left arm feels on fire. Balance issues bladder urgency. Bowel accidents. Leg pain caused by painful feet. Now my left eye started closing without any effort from myself. I'm at my wits end fell downstairs many yrs ago. Lost my balance fell from top of landing broke my wrist. My hands have lost there grip strength. Also wastage of the muscles in my hand. Sorry if I go on I'm so depressed getting no help. Was up last night couldnt lay down for severe pain, burning. Many thanks for listening 😭

Hi Rudy!!
I am 35 and I have stenosis from c3-c7. How did you manage it for this long? We’re you doing physical therapy all this while?
Wish all doctors where this smart. I have stenosis in my neck since 2016. Have had all the pain he mentioned and all the doctors except the one I recently went to said nothing is wrong. The recent doctor saw my issues did disc replacment in c6 and c7. That took away my trap pain in my shoulders. Still have issues from issues with c3 and c4 but my pain is more manageable now. All the pills, therapy and anything else I tried did nothing.
Everyone should have an MRI every 6 months. The first 7 vertebrae are key to quality of life
Im a 33yr old, 6' male, 210lbs and have been having issues for around 6 years. Nothing obvious caused it, grew up sportsy and active so did get gurt allot as a kid. It started with headaches and ocular migrains with auras and bad neck and back pain. Ignored it until 2021, almost passed out while driving. EMS arrived and said my blood pressure was 180 over something.
Diagnosed me with "Idiopathic intracranial hypertension " and put me on blood pressure meds, but didn't help.
Blurry doubled vision, sensitivity to light, constant bady pain, brain fog, balance issues, all the things in this video and more...
Had some testing and they found blockage in transverse/ Sigmund sinus. Had stent placed 4 moths ago.
Pain and weakness is getting worse in complete left side of body, along with decreased daily mental awearness. Beginning to also have worse and worse memory loss...
But i have 2 mri's scheduled soon (Thorasic & Cervical spine) so hopefully they find something.. im tired lol
What is the result
Thanks for watching!

I hope this helps anyone, i suffered horrible neck pain, i prayed and God told me to take bioflex or glucosamine chondroitin with msm like from dollar general same thing. It stopped the symptoms. I take everyday and always will.
I no longer have a cervical curve. The only symptom I don't have that you described is the wasting. I was told not to worry about the arthritis & cracking my neck does all on its own. They didn't want to do an MRI until I went through 12wks of PT. I refused for someone to mess with my neck without an MRI.

Been having these symptoms in my arms for about two months gets worse at full extension hands go crazy numb tingling and throbbing. Biceps cold hands cold. Finally saw a doctor who is trying to help me neurologist and PCP are no help thinks I’m looney or googling too much. Hopefully get a MRI soon all from a work injury that was concentrated on my lower back and never thought my neck was part of it from lifting with arm fully extended downward.

Suffered from mild cevical stenosis for decades, before it cost me my job , control of my fingers in right hand and i could not hold my head up without extreme pain in the shoulder . An operation on C6 C5 C4 alleviated the condition . Im left with numbness in right hand and the entire upper right side of my body has shrunk slightly when compared to the left .

I was rear ended a few years ago. I was waiting to turn off the highway into my drive and a car driving 60mph hit me. The girl did not brake, full force impact. Today I have sever pain and pressure in my neck as well as my lumbar. Pressure becomes too intense that I can't sit, stand, or lay down. Nothing works. Neck pressure makes my vision blurry.

Awesome video. Happened tome. Had surgery. Worst think to go through.
I had to have 3 levels of CSpine fused due to stenosis from paoriatric arthritis. Choose your neuroosurgeon carefully! Make sure they do 100s of fusions annually. Teaching hospitals are great, I went to UCSF.
@dorothypettijohn1037 who is your orthopedic surgeon at UCSF ?
@@magicmax6623 Not ortho but NeuroSurgery.
His name is Dr Vitrucci, but he has retired. He was an Associate Professor, but you know it's the fellows and residents that care for you post-op. I saw Dr Vitrucci in the OR only during my stay. I know patients can self refer. Just get the # for UCSF Neuro Surgery and tell them you would like to self refer, as long as you have current affected spinal CT Scan and MRI they will look at your films and decide if they can treat you, and they make an appt. They have several satellite offices throughout the Bay Area Good luck!
Any pointers to look for on choosing a great neuro surgeon? Appreciate any feedback. Tha k you in advance
@@joeyp12788 first things first. Most great medical centers (Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, UCSF) will allow patients to self refer. I went to UCSF,
which is about 100 miles away from home, but is a large well respected teaching hospital. That way you get the best of the best. My Senior Neurosurgeon was an Associate Professor, and then you get all the motivated medical students, residents and fellows. Alot of MDs who are passionate about their work, and bc it's a teaching hospital it's on the cutting edge, the newest technology and practices. I
worked in healthcare locally for 20+ years and there isn't a decent Neurosurgeon in this town. My Rheumatologist referred me blindy to UCSF. My Cspine fusion was first then about a year later had my L5-S1 fused too.
If you can find it, some years ago US World US News & Reports, rated hospitals. For Neurosurgeons they suggested seeing programs or MDs that perform 300 surgeries yearly. Good luck to you. Both of my sugeries were successful and I was pain-free from the moment I woke up.
I am 73 and losing dexterity. Turning a light switch is nearly impossible with my left hand. My MRI showed severe compression by osteophytes and my balance is as you've demonstrated. I live in Dallas TX and hope to find a neurosurgeon here to carefully ultrasonicly buzz it off.
I'm having them symptoms now along with low back pain.

Started getting dizzy spells for no reason. Next was the hands stiff and sore, loss of grip strength, dropping things, also a lot of nausea, fatigue and weakness. Getting fused next week C2-C7 and hoping for some relief.
Wishing you a successful outcome and healthy recovery. If you’d like a second opinion, visit cantorspinecenter.com to request an image review.
How are you now bud?
If you can please tell me what type of imaging is behind you? X-ray , mri image?
To save you the trouble of having to give the same answer repetitively, therefore I won’t list a full panel of my symptoms & just as a CYA, I am NOT asking for medical advice, or a diagnosis, but rather a broad general textbook explanation for how clinicians would typically treat C5-C6, C6-C7 moderate right lateral canal narrowing and cord deformity with moderate right foraminal narrowing, in the beginning stages when the discs become painful and limb & finger pain becomes apparent? Do patients in their early 40’s typically have degenerative issues of this nature?
Sorry to hear that
And I hope you feel better God bless you
Your videos are the very best! Although you do mention laminectomies' being done without fusion, I can't seem to find any videos about outcomes or really anything about them. All videos are about fusion. On March 8th 2023 I had a Posterior Cervical Laminectomy of C3 to C7 but no Fusion. I can't find any videos or explanations of this being done without fusion. You would do well to make one. More people than you think would watch them.
Thank you for the input! We will be sure to plan one out soon!
I was diagnosed with Cervical Stenosis a week ago. I also have most of the symptoms Dr. Cantor talked about. I'm considering having surgery sometime in December.
What avenues have you looked at aside from surgery?? What’s surgery are you thinking of having?? I think this doctor has some alternative minimally invasive solutions to this issue.
@@XX-166 I have tried Physical therapy but it made the problem worse. I'm going to try spinal injections next.
@@0311rogI am not a doctor. Spinal injections are just for pain. They don't fix the problem.
get the surgery, if you wait too long your arms will atrophy or one at a a time, and youll never be able to recover them again, one of my arms is atrophied and other is fine, i think im absolutely FCKED but not sure, waited 4 years to get surgery from the point of injury, dont know what the hell i was thinking,. get it done dude you look big if you stop lifting cause of this youll prob wanna commit suicide or something
Hi.please what were your symptoms. Have you had the surgery.Hope you don't mind me asking.
I have all of the symptoms you described but also numbness and tingling down the trapezoid area especially when I lift my left arm
I suffer from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I have 3 disc herniations in the neck C4-c6. Has terrible nerve pain in the arms and still down to the feet. Had to wait 11 months to get c5 operated on with a new disc and rigid operation. I'm still in pain unfortunately. loss of sensation also in arms but mostly left side. I also have loss of sensation halfway across my face. I suffer unbelievably every day. I also have spondylosis and spondylitis L5-s1 and also sciatica lumbago. Disc herniation L4-L5. then I have modic type 2. I have loss of sensation on my legs and in the big toe they dare or refuse to operate on me despite all the pain. I sleep with a diaper every night. Must urinate on routine because I have genital burns in the groin and abdomen. 3 weeks ago I got a back shot again. The doctor does not want to do a new MRI on me and sent me to the physiotherapist again. Should I be worried about my health? I started to get sick at the age of 19 and am 41 years old today
They op mig 3 times for they carpal tunnel syndrome 😭 But is was my neck that was the problem
(I often stumble and lose my balance as well. when I go up the stairs, my legs do not want to keep up many times)

Thankyou Dr Keenan for being a doctor and helping people I'm from Sydney Australia and had c456 fusion
I have a congenitally narrow spinal canal with mild to moderate spondylosis throughout my neck and have experienced symptoms of I guess both of those conditions for years already and am only 30.
Use cervical traction. My symptoms have been disappearing. Dr. Cantor is the best spine doctor I ever seen. My question is for Laminoplasty, what is the advantage of bone graft at the lamina gap over the mini-plates and screws?
You are lucky to get back your health, I have done 13 time DRX9000, and 25 times Mechical tractions, nothing can change! waiting for me should be surgery.. it was 8 years..
@@jackleung3458 I recently did 20 treatments of DRX9000. It made me FEEL better without a doubt, but when I did the comparative MRI it showed no improvement of the discs :( But all the time I felt like they could have gone higher on the weight (topped me out at 14lbs). Now I've found a different place that I'm going to tomorrow that has the same machine and hopefully we will go a little more on the weight/pull in hopes that I can improve. I wish my best to you!
best doctor to see for something like this?

What are the Long term rates of myelopathy recurring or continuing post surgery? I would assume depends on the surgery but multiple levels of cord compression
And foraminal stenosis in cervical sign with mid-stage symptoms?
I would like to know also!
It's been about 10 years for me. Cervical surgery 2013, Bulging disc laminectomy in 2015. Recent diagnosis of severe compression of C2,3 TBD surgery. I have a neurostimulator installed. It helps with pain by emitting massage, instead of allowing pain reception.
Mobiles are taking away your cervical spine
I don't understand
constantly looking down and staring at your phone is destroying the curve of the spine
i honestly think everyone should just get a cervical stretch collar and wear it everyday for like an hour or two before going to sleep lol@@taufik4753
What if I have all the horrible symptoms of cervical myelopathy (neck pain, numb hand, weak limbs, bicep pain, heart palpitations, hot flashes or red face etc) My mri and xrays show bone spurs; arthritis; and minimal disc bulg at c5-c6 and c6-c7; BUT the experts looking at them say that the pics don't explain my symptoms.....how much narrowing of the spinal canal is necessary to justify symptoms? I've heard there is no set rule? Apparently some have obvious stenosis and no symptoms....I, on the other hand, show little narrowing but awful symptoms....is that common?

I was told my low back Stenosis is mild. I've have pain, stiffness for decades but about a year ago started having some weird balance issues when walking, mostly changing direction, like my brain isn't communicating with well with my feet. I have knee buckling intermittently that doesn't feel structural in nature. I thought the balance thing was due to Tinnitus so I didn't make the connection until watching this video. I've had facet L4-L5 injections for a few years. They last about 2 weeks. I had rf ablation, same facets, about a year ago with the right side completely failing-only thing that happened was incredible burning pain in right hip and buttocks for a few months. I'm limited in the PT exercises because I have a poorly healed compression fracture of T12 and a herniated lumbar disc that responds poorly to some bending/twisting exercises. Because the diagnosis is "mild" Stenosis it doesn't seem like I have any options for lasting pain relief or better mobility. My last MRI was a year ago.

The only pain I have is in my forearm. I’ve had it for 16 months. I was misdiagnosed with tennis elbow. I had an MRI that clearly shows the C6/C7 disc protruding into the spinal cord. However I’m not exhibiting all the problems that others suffer from like neck pain, back pain, loss of balance, tingling sensations etc. None of that. Just pain in the forearm. I’m on the fence about getting the surgery although 3 neurosurgeons have recommended it so that the problem doesn’t progress.

I had a bad car accident back in 1986 which changed my life dramatically. I had pain and headaches everyday. But dealt with the pain by going to chiropractors and later pain doctors. I saw a spine surgeon in Houston, Texas about 3 years ago and he told me I had cervical stenosis in C3 and C4 and C5. He told me I should have surgery at that time (if not things were just going to get worse) but after viewing this type of surgery on UTUbe I decided to wait it out until something better came along. I saw yours recently and have to say I think I could do this one w/o being scared to death. Only problem is how long would I need to be in Florida to see you and do follow-up? Is there someone else you would recommend in Houston, Texas to perform the surgery? I really think I need it now because it is starting to effect my bowel and other parts of my body.
I have this same issue from a car accident 2 years ago, i went from living a happy healthy normal life, to not having the energy to work, or take care of my kids. I’m 30 btw, I too was recommended I might be needed surgery soon but I’m scared to death to go in that route, I heard prolotherapy can worked wonders with our condition. Have you heard of this?
I went to the doctor on March 1 2022 Cervical spine MRI demonstrates moderate left foraminal narrowing at C3-4. C4-5 spondylolisthesis with bilateral foraminal narrowing. C5-6 degenerative with reversal of the curvature, retrolisthesis, moderate spinal and mild bilateral foraminal stenosis. C6-7 moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis. I've had pain and headaches since I got hurt. But I have dizzy spells, just hurts. Lord sound just like how I feel.
@@scheirerjeanie1 I’m sorry you have to go through this, or anyone for that matter. I’m trying to save money to get the right help, I’ve been reaching out to people who have tried the prp therapy and they say good things, maybe you should look into it.

Try getting a referral to a c-spine surgeon. Im going paralyzed in my feet a little, and all Dr.'s are sending me to pain management. I cut off my finger, 2nd degree burns on tge top of my thigh from dropping hot water, i cut and burn myself often but I do have to cook sometimes, its scary! Stopped using an oven a looong time ago. First 1 level cspine surgery went great, but if you have an H.M.O. ...good luck with a referral. You'll be tossed back and forth to E.R.to primary, to painmanagement like a ping pong ball. Went through this with first surgery in 2003...Dr s are now tgeir own lawyers, and patients need to go to medical school. You need a P.P.O. to get healthcare for the last 20 years here in the state of CA. No more patient advocates, I found tgat out be calling a "sort of" patient advocate person. "You are being recorded" in order to find out you have no advicate. Violation of patient privacy acts to keep the social worker safe. Hmm...
