What can be done with naturally fusing vertebra, 3 in the front of my neck that protruding outward and has my throat closed half off. There are 3 in my lower back in the front, from L1-L5 and my legs go numb just by standing. Hands burn after standing upright for 5 minutes. Thanks! I had a total knee replacement in 2010 at the age of 41 from work related injury from Coca-Cola, the knee has burned ever since and the metals have shown up in my ankle after going through an airport security scanner. Chromium-Cobalt, Nickel, and Oxidized Zirconium all showed reactive levels when a blood test was done last year. The knee has been swelling and warn the whole time. The leaching metals affected my thyroid, which in turn gave me hypercalcemia, dropping my kidney function from 90 to 9. The hypercalcemia also caused half my teeth to fall out. I've been waiting for 4 years for help, but being on medicaid, doctors around my town say they can help, but then say there's nothing wrong. Bozeman Montana Area. Great place to live, very poor healthcare.

@@Lagousk82 U CANT WALK but no pain except in your mind. Im so sorry. I shattered my shoulder & dont want to retire to wheelchair mode as I might get used to it. Obviously cane cant be used. Thx for sharing as helps me from having a pity party. Accupuncture is wonderful. Good Health is priceless. Ive had so many med miracles I was just hoping this was just a lesson as I was going to be a RN then covid came & much better off with spinel stenosis as I lost 11 & 5 were RNs to covid. 1 friend needs lung transplant due to longhauler.
I have severe foraminal stenosis in neck moderate lumbar spinal stenosis and on thoracic moderate central canal stenosis. A long with that bulging disc in my neck herniated disc in Lumbar and thoracic. My question is one stenosis worse than the other? My understanding is foraminal stenosis can affect one part of an area where is spinal stenosis is more widespread and can affect multiple areas. Central Canal Stenosis don’t know a whole lot about it when I read about it sounds like it can potentially cause spinal cord compression.
@@DonnallySpineConsult I just went to an orthopedic spine surgeon yesterday he did the Hoffman test on me plus looked at the mri findings did an X-ray as well. He determined because I was very hyper reflexive that I am in the early stages of cervical myelopathy and has a spot open for me next week. Sounds like he’s going to do a small incision and replace the disc on C4 C5.
@@KyDairyGoats ty for being so kind to share. I was leaning more towards spacers but Im so glad this worked for u.🥳🥳 Have a friend where surgeon shaved her disc & now she can barely bend her knee. She went to ER & who knows how long that Dr was on the clock. Good News is always great to hear. I watch Dr Deuk do so many surgeries on the spine, which is fascinating, but now Im so confused. Mini goats or avg. So blessed to can now tend to them.💜🐐💜🙏

The neurosurgeon I'm seeing in Kansas city says he can get rid of my pain but maybe not my weakness. Have put off recommended surgery for 3+ years using a standup walker and walk as long as I want no pain while walking or when I'm done. I can't stand for a minute or two without it and better have something to lean on or sit on
I had a c3 to c6 laminoplasty 2 years ago. The current scan shows that my surgery remains intact. I still have pain and tightness on my back side of my shoulder after some physical movement, like walking for 15 minutes. Would this discomfort go away ?
I am also trained as an ortho surgeon. But now I’m highly trained as a spine surgeon. Not sure if you had a question or just wanted me to clarify how much I could help you
I may be looking you up soon to get surgery. I live in Lawton, Ok. and had an MRi for years of wear and tear as a firefighter.
Come see me! Bring that mri

All of this is true to a degree; come in and let’s fix all of that
They impact different areas

Sounds like you should stop putting it off of there is weakness, not sure what else needs to occur
Do you do lumbar disc replacements and why are u against them ?
Thank you so much for following and subscribing
I have to have a op for hermitage of L4 L5 putting pressure on the spinal cord , what are the risks
Many risks
@DonnallySpineConsult could you tell me what some of the most likely risk are and is it worth the risk , please
I had a c3 to c6 laminoplasty 2 years ago. The current scan shows that my surgery remains intact. I still have pain and tightness on my back side of my shoulder after some physical movement, like walking for 15 minutes. Would this discomfort go away ?
Possibly so, hard to rebuild a car sometimes
Stenosis how to stop pain
Fix it
So is there a cure?
Yes
Joe treska need disc replacemant this week want solo vs fusion

Wut
Spine surgery not orthopedic surgery
I am also trained as an ortho surgeon. But now I’m highly trained as a spine surgeon. Not sure if you had a question or just wanted me to clarify how much I could help you
I want a second opinion from YOU. I don't think my insurance covers you. But how do i find out about getting JUST a second opinion from you, cash pay?
Come visit in dallas
C7 cracked vertebra hernieated disc
Sorry
