to those suffering: I had this done, my sciatica pain had me in tears, leg numbness, impossible to live....this procedure saved my life; if you have exhausted all other treatments and this is your cause of pain (herniated disc) this will do the trick
This is just an amazing video to explain how magnificently the backbone is formed and how it works. The Lumbar discectomy is so well explained. Thank you for sharing.
hi Helo plz i got injured and im on workers comp sence it hapend in work now dr said workers com dont deal with disc problems they did send me to get an mri but dr didnt bother to explain it to me all i know is i have 2 disc bulge of 2mm and protution to thecal somethig like that is it that bad what can u tell me plz help🙏
@@BlackSkuLL4u2 hy. I too have 2 discs bulges. But 1 was severe and was causing lot of pain in left leg so i had a micro-discectomy. Now the pain is relieved. As my age is 22 young, they said "As the other one is not causing any pain yet, we'll wait to see if heals for itself before causing any pain" This isn't much to worry, you'll be fine
This is the best explanation of the spine I have ever seen. Even my Dr didn't explain it like this. Looks simple but still not having back surgery as long as exercise and pain meds take care of the problem.
Been dealing with a bulging disc for over 4 years. I've done Chiropractic care, Steroid Injections, acupuncture, electric shock therapy and none of it works anymore. I can't wait to have this surgery.
For anyone watching who has had this surgery recommended, but is nervous about doing it. Don't worry, just go for it. The results are immediate and you will get your life back. Obviously make sure you go to a good hospital and speak to an experienced surgeon, but as the video demonstrates, it's not actually a complex operation. It can be frightening because of the location, but it's a fairly quick operation and you can usually go home the same day or the following day. In my case my recovery involved absolute rest for 2 weeks, followed by daily 1 hour physio sessions for 2 weeks, then exercises at home for a month. After that, I was basically back to normal.
So happy for you! We've seen patients walk out of the operation room, too. The medical field and science of endoscopic spine surgeries has certainly advanced in a wonderful way. www.atlanticspinecenter.com
@@pcguru2000 I was in so much pain I basically couldn't live a normal life. I had nothing left to lose. The operation was a total success. It's been 5 years since the operation and I'm still pain-free.
I just had this done. 7 27 23. Due to a problem with my breathing. The surgeon had to due less then he wanted too. I was to the point I couldn't walk without bigtime pain. And burning. It was to the point I couldn't live with it no more Thus I'm not all fixed but all I can say is THANK GOD I HAD IT DONE. yes I have pain but I can for the most part handle it. DR K. did mine and am so happy to have this aount of relief I have big problems with L1. To L5. An s1. As well as many other health problems. So. Thank you again Dr K.
did your insurance cover it? ive been suffering with 4 herniated discs for about 5yrs and ive been scared of getting surgery thinking ill come out worst. plz plz respond.
fortunately; I was covered / first and foremost get an mri / then have the doctor inform you of which procedure is best suited for your specific issue. Some patients may just need a steroid shot, everyone is different of course. I hope you get the help you need. Btw: I had the same anxiety about surgery. I took a leap of faith and did it. Your call / to me it was worth it. I have zero issues and its been 2 years now.
@Miguel Vazquez, did your doctor say two options were available, PLIF & microdisectomy? Coz I have the same issue and consulted 2 doctors, one suggested to go with PLIF and the other doctor suggested this one, microdisectomy. He told chances of recurrence is only 5%, why unnecessarily implant foreign parts and screws in your body? Did your doctor say anything like that?
My is in L4-L5 and its been its been 3months plus now the sciatic pain pain is still around 8.5 that I had the accident slipping and causing the herniation have been to the hospital three times maybe more have taken many anti inflammatories, pain meds and cortisone, on top of that I have done physio. pain is still there and hasn't gotten better. one neuro-surgeon recommended I did a ct guided discoplasty with rf and another neuro surgeon said I need to have a micro-discectomy. I don't know what to do as now my next appointment will only be in a month plus to see another neuro-surgeon in Crete, Greece. Another doctor mentioned that after this time that has past there is a high chance of the extrusion becoming calsified. What can you advice me and how do I move forward.
I have a bulging disc and the exercising routine is crucial: I am doing yoga, planks, dead bugs, otherwise doing Deadlifts and Squats with light weights, so my core is strong. On the second place death hangs, swimming and back hyperextensions(on a gym machine) are also great! I feel actually no pain and can live like a normal person. Eating enough protein, Collagen and other micro elements is very important too
Hi, I have two bulging discs. I've been doing light yoga and light swimming. However, the discomfort keeps coming back whenever I try something new. Do you have this recurring discomfort issue?
@@vladia391 what do you mean by sensation? I still have a discomfort feeling from times to times. It looks like it's not going away soon. My Physical Therapist said that because my pain is so low, like 0.5/10, he recommended keep doing stretches and stuff. so idk
Hello. I am sharing my experience here. I have herniated disc at L5-S1 and L4-L5. I had pain since 2 months almost. At the beginning I had pain and stiffness in back when i woke up in the morning. After a month i went to the doc and was diagnosed with disc herniation. I got an epidural steroid shot, but it did not work. After few days the pain started to radiate to left leg, till last monday it became so severe that i couldn't even sit or walk upright. Main pain points were back of thigh and calves. So I went again and got micro-discectomy last thursday. The moment i woke up after surgery the pain was gone. I felt relieved. I have been advised be rest for 6 weeks or so. So far so good. I'll update future events Feel free to ask any questions if you have.
I am only 21 and I am having severe sciatic pain down my left leg. I can't even walk my dog or exercise without being in intense pain. It makes me cry sometimes. I am hoping to find a really great neurosurgeon to help me with this procedure and may God bless me with a positive outcome and recovery to enjoy my life again
It was really hard to understand when doctors suggested a surgery to My best Friend but after watching this video it gave a clear cut idea about what it is.. Great Job! Thank you soooo much for the Descriptional Video with simple pictures...Thank you again
@@bettyrose5387 Gods grace everything went on well. She was in complete bed rest for 2 months and now she is doing well. She can't lift heavy objects& all also no running.. long distance traveling all such to be considered. So far so good.. Thank you for your concern 😊
@@Sadiyanizam Hello Diya...I'm sorry to hear that. Just wondering does she feel the pain when she's walking/ standing? Sitting? Or laying down on the bed?
Dear she done this operation in kerala yesterday night and after the operation she is ok then morning she cant touch the toe in the floor doctor says nothing to worry what about u i m tensed plz reply
@@Sadiyanizam Actually during my experience. After the surgery, I felt pain at my buttock , but I was given some pain medicine to calm it down, I was able to walk to use the restroom in the hospital. After the first day, I hardly felt sciatic pain, I walked but only took baby steps...and I only felt a slight ache & soreness around the wound area.
It's great - 6* video - well presented, easy to understand, helpful to patients etc. It shows how to remove the leaked gel that press the nerve that cause the pain. I just wonder if there is any similar video for the cervical spine and the leaked gel does not press the nerve but press the spine cord. I think it may be more difficult to take the leaked gel out because it is deeper inside; and it more dangerous because it is right behind the spine cord . . . So how is this done? Many many thanks for all this and many other videos, Tony
Been to the er twice within the last 2 weeks due to sciatic pain. Was told by the er doctor at 5:30am that I need and mri scheduled and possibly have this procedure done…. Makes me nervous however at 25 I know that i would recover pretty quickly and have minimal downtime and no more pain… send me some healing vibes. As I have had a miserable and terrible sleep schedule and life.😵💫🙁
I've had a fusion on c6c7 and solved some problems but I've got l1l3 yet to come as I've still got issues down my left side and struggle to walk any distance . I'm only 46 and had to quit my job.
looks likr only the protuded part was removed but is the outter layer "sealed"? does the core ever burst out again if people to heavy lifting or in other ways put pressure on the spine?
I just found out I have a L5 s1 disc bulge to the left. I have back pain when I sit but no leg pain. Do u have a disc bulge/ back pain or only leg pain. Also I only hurt when I sit not when I'm trying to sleep. Did you heal up completely? If so how long did it take and what did u do to heal ? Please help 😊🙃 also my back used to get tight when I lay down for bed but since I started back exercises 4 weeks ago. It doesn't get tight when I lay down only when I drive or sit. Are u 100% healed or do u still have back pain? Did u get surgery? Are you having any complications after surgery? Also b4 your first surgery was your back hurting or your legs or both
really u explain very well i have problem L5 S1 i want treatment from ur clinic plz how i can find u and one more thing endoscope microdescotomy or open descotmy which one is beter way for surgery

Does the outer (hard cells) get healed after this? What is the likelihood of herniation from this weak spot after the surgery? There're videos in youtube for total replacement of the disc with implants, any thoughts about this as well?
exactly. If you trim the edge of a jelly donut and push down on it, the weaken wall will give way. When this happens, you'll need to have the cage put the vertabrae above and below.
It’s a beautiful piece of engineering isn’t it. If you had to start from scratch designing it I wonder if you could satisfy all the tasks expected of it and end up with this brilliant result ?
I'm having Lumbar discectomy Lumbar decompression surgery just 2 weeks from now (23rd Oct 2022) after almost 3 decades of pain, discomfort and suffering. I took to the gym again 4 yes ago to get in shape just incase I was brought for surgery and now that I'm in fairly good shape, I'm a good candidate. I'll post my recovery on here for other's. I'm 46 years old with a tough mental attitude towards pain which developed over the years. My BMI is perfect and I have no other ailments or co morbidity. Thanks for this video.
@@AtlanticSpineCenter So I'm on my 4th day after this exact Surgery. I was up and walking unaided as soon as the anesthesia wore of. When I first came to, I wanted the nurse to shoot me in post op lol. She turned me around onto my good side and I fell in love with her lol. Anyhoo. I got released the next day because of my age, and condition. See I knew this op was a 50/50 chance of actually happening so I joined a Gym and lost 6 stone over 10 months and reshaped my body into muscle. Hence my speedy recovery. I was actually dehydrated preop....🥶🥶🥶 The pain WAS exhausting and scary at times, because I live alone. Overall I feel my quality of life improving as we speak I'll post back in a few days after my weekly checkup in my GPs. I would accept this operation again without haste.
@@arunsekar2054 Yes! Able to walk and move around. Still have another month of no heavy lifting or bending. Satisfied on the whole surgery and now recovery.
i would like to know when the tool cut the hernia the remaining jelly like substance will be less from the moment you took it out, that means in the future that the disc will be prone to more damage?
I have a few questions. What happens to the disk that is left there? Doesn’t it end up with less volume and thus increased risk of the vertebrae “colliding”? Or even the risk of new herniation?
testimonial; my mom had HNP problem, she took this kind of surgery and the result is amazing, almost no pain anymore on her waist, back nor leg. thks god.
Very clear explanations and demonstration. I’m in the firsts weeks of Biokinetics treatment, failing which, I’m expected to undergo surgery. After watching these videos I’m no longer terrified of the possibility of surgery, although I believe the way Biokinetics are working so well, I will most probably not require surgery. I’m a medical doctor (though not a spinal specialist), but my sister has similar problems, with her spinal degeneration much more advanced than mine. She is very likely to end up having surgery, although our (common ) spinal doctor is still trying conservative treatment for now. Thank you for the wonderful videos.
Dr.Mina in Wasilla Alaska gave me back my life with this procedure. Could not ask for a better surgeon& staff.(Lisa) I highly recommend this procedure if you're in pain. This area has low & slow blood flow, 4 to 6 weeks recovery or more. No twisting or bending. Lots of walking.
@@sondoisnotdead I'm not sure exactly after insurance, but I look at medical bills like I look at other monthly payments. I will have them the rest of my life. Your health is worth it, pay-what-you-can. My payments are between 3 to $400 a month at least for three to four years. I will update this when I get a figured amount for you.
@@EdRock Thanks a lot for fast respond.15-20K is what I was quote from Phoenix AZ as well. I agree with you 100%,but I'm afraid what if it's not going to work after all that spend money.There is no "money return policy" on any of this expensive procedures.
My doctor put electrode sensors on my legs to make sure they weren't damaging any nerves when they did the procedure. I think if you're in pain you have no other choice I see it as a simple procedure not even surgery the recovery time is what's important, Not to re-damage your disc again.
I was a Sciatica sufferer for almost 6 months. I tried anything on earth and the pain just didn’t want to go away. My doctor gave me so many different pain killers but nothing helped. I think I didn’t sleep for more than 3 hour every night for 5 months until I bought the book.>> tinyurl.com/y7xoo4sw Things start to change even my doctor couldn’t believe me. I just wanted to say thank you.?
God, I wish my surgery had been successful, if I were able to go to this clinic. But I also have other conditions causing extreme pain. I’ve been on prescription pain meds, but that only helps for a while. And steroid injections relieves pain for a few days, not weeks. It’s hard to explain to loved one and friends the pain I ‘m experiencing and maybe this video will help them understand. I hate it when people respond with, “Oh, I have back pain, too.” I’m 53, and after failed back surgery, pain rules my life. Even before Covid19, My mobility was limited, so I’ve been in self-isolation for almost four years. It’s depressing to know I will never live another day without pain.
I'm so sorry for you. I also have herniated discs (two, to be exact) and have been feeling pain for over 8 months. I know how painful sciatica is, and the desperation of trying to fix it, as we'd try whatever we can to solve this problem. My aunt also had a very similar problem to yours, and she had to do another surgery, with different doctors, to relieve her pain. She can now function the way she used to, before her first operation. I hope someday you'll feel relieved of your pain. No one deserves to suffer this pain.
I hope you’ll get the relieved you deserved laurent, hang in there n never give up! Im still struggling to get rid of it n its been 8 years for me. Youre not alone in this and i wish good things for you
aye man I feel you on that truly. I can’t say I relate completely but I do relate with the ESI shots and having no insurance I can’t even afford the surgery but I know that things happen for a reason and to make the best out of the negative’s in life. Be strong my friend, I see you already are, you have every right to be broken yet you’re still here and still living and that’s what I’m talking about. Even with a failed surgery, you’re still a champion, Cuz you didn’t fail them THEY failed you. Like I said stay strong my guy, keep them ice/hot packs, get you a spinedeck, do what you gotta do to ! I pray heavily for you recovery 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for example of that problem i have as a same problem dr told me to do operation but im thinking after when finish operation it will any other affect, or it's good to do please advise me
Is it get possible to get pregnant after this procedure. Even for normal people Carrying a baby will cause back pain. Post procedure how i could be? I have multi level disc buldge. Doctor advised me this procedure. And im also obestric. How this procedure will help
doctor's will tell you 50-50. 50% change of getting better or 50% change of getting worse. That's why you wait till the last moment for surgery so that there's less of a change getting worse.
Sadly I've needed this surgery 2x. Both times it has completely fixed my severe painful symptoms of herniated disc L4 S1. Recovery is 2 months followed by 4 weeks of physical therapy. Both times I was home with in 4 hours of surgery, obviously your put under anesthesia for this operation. It's worth it if your suffering from a herniated disc with sciatic nerve and or severe sciatic nerve pain like I was. Hurt to sit, lay, sometimes even standing or trying to get comfortable to sleep. Don't be afraid to get 2 or more professional options before scheduling any operation!!!
Studies show herniated disc can recover on its own by 3 to 12 months, if you take out the herniated nucleus , the disc becomes flat and will this speed up the regeneration of the facet joint on the level and cause facet OA?
Conservative treatment is always the first line of treatment and with several different approaches-and for several months. Unfortunately for some, those treatments fail. Most time the patient chooses the surgery because the patient has run out of non-surgical options and cannot bear to live with the pain any longer. Although there may be some flattening of the disc, the benefit of reaching relief from months of agonizing back pain outweighs this possible risk factor for these patients.
been trying all other treatments for 3 years for a disc protrusion(l5 s1) no solution and the pain is unbearable this may be the only treatment left for me.
16 months of pain for me...I have bulge in the L4 or 5...not sure I need an MRI...but I can feel to small bulges there....I know how you feel..wish you the best godspeed..
what is the chances of getting again disc blug on same previous treated disc? after taken this type of treatment a patient can do start a light weight gym ? plz suggest me
Discs can bulge again. Prevention is key. Follow your doctor’s or physical therapy recommendations on the best care for the discs in your back to reduce pressure and strain. If you like to work out at the gym, first learn techniques that strengthen the muscles that support the back including back muscles, shoulder muscles and core abdominal muscles and be very aware of your posture when you work-out at all times. Consult with a certified trainer at the gym before returning to your work out and explain your injury or back problem to them. Going back to the gym after a procedure depends on your doctor’s recommendations, which procedure you have had and in what location. An endoscopic (minimally invasive) procedure, such as in this video, will not take as long to return to your normal routine as an open procedure would. A good comfort level to start back to exercising on your own is around 6 weeks, but physical therapy guided exercises should come first and a Physical Therapist can usually get you started as early as 2-4 weeks.
Atlantic Spine Center Nice, and how about the suttered 8mm cut? How long for it to be safe to do back-stretching exercises, for example, and have that lower back skin stretching too?
Atlantic Spine Center Sir I have been lumbar disc surgery 3 month ago. Now sometimes when I wake up in the morning the back pain is starts. How long will it take to fulfill the disc that have been cut.?
Monjur Zaman Hi zaman Wee did u had the disc Is surgery a good option How are u now. I am facing l5 S1 disc bulge since 5 yrs Bt now pain is making me restless 😭😭 Looking for ur reply
If the herniated disc fluid is removed is there the potential for additional fluid remaining to cause another herniation or is the disc resealed after extraction? Does the removal of the nucleus material result in a reduced range of motion as the vertebrae no longer possess a potentially significant portion of the “ball bearing” material?
They’ll tell you basically 100% on removing the herniation, but as far as everything else that’s a contributing factor like the persons weight or breast size or age or what you do for work. So many things play a factor that it’s more about the guarantee of a better quality of life or reversing the damage and be how you were prior to your situation.
@@MohsinKhan_mozeee operated last saturday only. Commenting at this point will not make any sense. I am still on bed. Not walking. Not atleast completing one week.

Good luck! I know that each person’s bulging or desiccated disc(s) pain is subjective, but I was on that road to addiction of opioids pushed on me by my doctors before I wisened up. I stopped the opioids, lost all my fat (50 lbs) via Keto diet/lifestyle which allowed me to quit other meds I was on. I still have lower back pain and some neuralgia in my feet/legs but far less that before as well as the problems related to cervical disc problems. I deal with my pain with ice packs, ibuprofen, aspercream (sp) and the occasional Lidocaine patch, stretching, walking…I am far better off without my doctors than I was with them.
@@kingloz36 I have had three over the years. L-4/L-5 in 2001, L-5/S-1 in 2012, (those both laid me out and one hospitalized me.) Most recently, January 2023, a cervical disc bulged towards and is pressing against the central spinal canal. That one was the least severe but still caused much pain, reduced arm and hand strength, reduced sensation, and numbness, as well as reduced range of motion of head and arms. I finally got approved for P.T. In May and finished my last session today. I do exercises for my lumbar pain 2 to 3 times a week. I also do exercises for my neck twice a week, as well as rowing and swimming. Continuing to reduce my weight has helped. Hot showers, Ice packs, lidocaine patches, medicated creams, ibuprofen (sometimes and only 2) and stretching. I stay busy doing ALL the house work, shopping, cooking, yard work, car maintenance…as my wife still works full time. These chores keep me busy and divert much attention away from my pain/discomfort. But, hey, I’m alive! Something some of my old Air Force buddies can’t say.
I am having this in 8 days time, Friday 3rd September 2021. He said he is also removing a small piece of bone to create a bit more space for the nerve. A preventative method to reduce damage to the nerve if the disc ruptures again in the future. My surgeon is keeping me in and plans on discharging on Sunday. So if the inner core gel leaked out, does it refill and does the disc heal and seal the point where it leaked? I used to be a chef so lots of bad lifting for many years. I'm am 35 and feeling many years older 😅
@@childofgodlove2875 I was told it epuld not help as my disc is highly Compressed and disc matter has leaked and hardened. It is last the point of injections being of any help.
@@namitham.j7113 improving well. Back to work and my mobility is great. I was told I will still have stiffness and tenderness in my lower back for some time to come. My nerve discomfort comes and goes but is nowhere near as bad as it was pre op.

Está mostrando como nossa coluna é formada. Tem as vértebras, com os disquinhos entre elas. Dentro dos discos tem um líquido, que sai quando o disco escorrega ou 'quebra'. No meu caso, tenho hérnia lombar discal, entre L4-L5 e L5-S1. O diagnóstico é feito a partir de uma ressonância magnética. No caso, as nádegas doem e as pernas ficam adormecidas e formigando. Dói muito quando o disco escorrega e encosta no nervo, que vai da cabeça aos pés. Mais ou menos isso. No vídeo mostram uma cirurgia de retirada da hérnia que está encostada no nervo. Uma cirurgia pouco invasiva, pois normalmente cortam as costas e fazem uma cicatriz enorme. Meu médico nunca me indicou cirurgia. Exercícios somente. Nem remédios. Este mês está pegando fogo, e a dor veio de uma forma muito forte. Tem a ver com o emocional. Esta cirurgia do vídeo deve custar bastante. As cirurgias grandes são indicadas para quem tem osteoporose, e as vértebras ficam meio ocas, desintegrando-se. Daí tem que colocar pinos. Melhor coisa é o fortalecimento muscular. Não assisti ao video inteiro, mas acabei encontrando este video que fala de formigamento e dor na nádega. Normalmente é só de um lado. Há uns 6 anos, meu médico disse que minha coluna tinha se estabilizado. Doía a coluna, por uns 10 dias. Desta vez pensei que fosse circulação. É coluna e nervoso. Estamos trancados em casa faz 2 meses, no computador, com notícias tristes do Brasil. Mas tudo irá melhorar!

Been dealing with a bulging disc for over 4 years. I've done Chiropractic care, Steroid Injections, acupuncture, electric shock therapy and none of it works anymore. I can't wait to have this surgery.
Ey Jeremy
I've Undergone Lumbar Surgery recently 👍
Try yoga which really made me feel better im almost recovered doing yoga... I had disc extrusion condition prior

My mom had this operation actually 1 year ago and now she s starting to feel the same pain like before, ahhh
For anyone watching who has had this surgery recommended, but is nervous about doing it. Don't worry, just go for it. The results are immediate and you will get your life back. Obviously make sure you go to a good hospital and speak to an experienced surgeon, but as the video demonstrates, it's not actually a complex operation. It can be frightening because of the location, but it's a fairly quick operation and you can usually go home the same day or the following day. In my case my recovery involved absolute rest for 2 weeks, followed by daily 1 hour physio sessions for 2 weeks, then exercises at home for a month. After that, I was basically back to normal.
So happy for you! We've seen patients walk out of the operation room, too. The medical field and science of endoscopic spine surgeries has certainly advanced in a wonderful way. www.atlanticspinecenter.com
@@AtlanticSpineCenter Yep, some people said I shouldn't do it, but I'm so glad I did.
So happy for you, @@jdillon8360!
Even a small nick on the nerve can cause permanent pain. Don't do this unless you are in so much pain and have nothing to lose.
@@pcguru2000 I was in so much pain I basically couldn't live a normal life. I had nothing left to lose. The operation was a total success. It's been 5 years since the operation and I'm still pain-free.
I just had this done. 7 27 23. Due to a problem with my breathing. The surgeon had to due less then he wanted too. I was to the point I couldn't walk without bigtime pain. And burning. It was to the point I couldn't live with it no more Thus I'm not all fixed but all I can say is THANK GOD I HAD IT DONE. yes I have pain but I can for the most part handle it. DR K. did mine and am so happy to have this aount of relief I have big problems with L1. To L5. An s1. As well as many other health problems. So. Thank you again Dr K.

SO HAPPY TO HEAR! Congrats!
did your insurance cover it? ive been suffering with 4 herniated discs for about 5yrs and ive been scared of getting surgery thinking ill come out worst.
plz plz respond.
fortunately; I was covered / first and foremost get an mri / then have the doctor inform you of which procedure is best suited for your specific issue. Some patients may just need a steroid shot, everyone is different of course. I hope you get the help you need. Btw: I had the same anxiety about surgery. I took a leap of faith and did it. Your call / to me it was worth it. I have zero issues and its been 2 years now.
@Miguel Vazquez, did your doctor say two options were available, PLIF & microdisectomy? Coz I have the same issue and consulted 2 doctors, one suggested to go with PLIF and the other doctor suggested this one, microdisectomy. He told chances of recurrence is only 5%, why unnecessarily implant foreign parts and screws in your body?
Did your doctor say anything like that?
@@hritwikanand312 No implants at all for my procedure. That’s why the MRI is so important. To identify “exactly” the root cause.
You're doing a good job! Many people need such help. May all be well with these people, thanks to you!
May all be well with everyone! Nobody deserves to live in pain
Thank you!🎉
My is in L4-L5 and its been its been 3months plus now the sciatic pain pain is still around 8.5 that I had the accident slipping and causing the herniation have been to the hospital three times maybe more have taken many anti inflammatories, pain meds and cortisone, on top of that I have done physio. pain is still there and hasn't gotten better. one neuro-surgeon recommended I did a ct guided discoplasty with rf and another neuro surgeon said I need to have a micro-discectomy. I don't know what to do as now my next appointment will only be in a month plus to see another neuro-surgeon in Crete, Greece. Another doctor mentioned that after this time that has past there is a high chance of the extrusion becoming calsified. What can you advice me and how do I move forward.
I have a bulging disc and the exercising routine is crucial: I am doing yoga, planks, dead bugs, otherwise doing Deadlifts and Squats with light weights, so my core is strong. On the second place death hangs, swimming and back hyperextensions(on a gym machine) are also great! I feel actually no pain and can live like a normal person. Eating enough protein, Collagen and other micro elements is very important too
Hi, I have two bulging discs. I've been doing light yoga and light swimming. However, the discomfort keeps coming back whenever I try something new. Do you have this recurring discomfort issue?
@@samb2166 I had bad discomfort for a time(when I was doing kickboxing), but I got a little break and it stopped. Now I have only sensations.
@@vladia391 what do you mean by sensation? I still have a discomfort feeling from times to times. It looks like it's not going away soon. My Physical Therapist said that because my pain is so low, like 0.5/10, he recommended keep doing stretches and stuff. so idk
@@samb2166 listen to your doctor. I am doing my Stretches and I feel good.
A have a disc and I can't even barely walk...not sure how yall are doing any of these exercises
Hello. I am sharing my experience here.
I have herniated disc at L5-S1 and L4-L5. I had pain since 2 months almost. At the beginning I had pain and stiffness in back when i woke up in the morning. After a month i went to the doc and was diagnosed with disc herniation. I got an epidural steroid shot, but it did not work. After few days the pain started to radiate to left leg, till last monday it became so severe that i couldn't even sit or walk upright. Main pain points were back of thigh and calves. So I went again and got micro-discectomy last thursday. The moment i woke up after surgery the pain was gone. I felt relieved. I have been advised be rest for 6 weeks or so.
So far so good. I'll update future events
Feel free to ask any questions if you have.
how much does it cost?
@@projectbcadotin Depends on which hospital you choose. I live in a tier 2 city and it varies from 50k to 1.25 lakhs

Dear she done this operation in kerala yesterday night and after the operation she is ok then morning she cant touch the toe in the floor doctor says nothing to worry what about u i m tensed plz reply
@@Sadiyanizam Actually during my experience. After the surgery, I felt pain at my buttock , but I was given some pain medicine to calm it down, I was able to walk to use the restroom in the hospital. After the first day, I hardly felt sciatic pain, I walked but only took baby steps...and I only felt a slight ache & soreness around the wound area.
It's great - 6* video - well presented, easy to understand, helpful to patients etc. It shows how to remove the leaked gel that press the nerve that cause the pain. I just wonder if there is any similar video for the cervical spine and the leaked gel does not press the nerve but press the spine cord. I think it may be more difficult to take the leaked gel out because it is deeper inside; and it more dangerous because it is right behind the spine cord . . . So how is this done? Many many thanks for all this and many other videos, Tony

Won't the disc nucleus drip again after some time? And what is the "leakage" going to affect the functionality of the disc? Just curious.
Hello!
Is this the surgical technique developed by Dr. Rütten in Germany about 20 years ago?
Does the outer (hard cells) get healed after this? What is the likelihood of herniation from this weak spot after the surgery? There're videos in youtube for total replacement of the disc with implants, any thoughts about this as well?
exactly. If you trim the edge of a jelly donut and push down on it, the weaken wall will give way. When this happens, you'll need to have the cage put the vertabrae above and below.
It’s a beautiful piece of engineering isn’t it. If you had to start from scratch designing it I wonder if you could satisfy all the tasks expected of it and end up with this brilliant result ?
It really is
God is the greatest of engineers.
Obviously not brilliant enough if people's discs can still herniate

@@AtlanticSpineCenter So I'm on my 4th day after this exact Surgery. I was up and walking unaided as soon as the anesthesia wore of.
When I first came to, I wanted the nurse to shoot me in post op lol. She turned me around onto my good side and I fell in love with her lol.
Anyhoo. I got released the next day because of my age, and condition.
See I knew this op was a 50/50 chance of actually happening so I joined a Gym and lost 6 stone over 10 months and reshaped my body into muscle. Hence my speedy recovery. I was actually dehydrated preop....🥶🥶🥶
The pain WAS exhausting and scary at times, because I live alone. Overall I feel my quality of life improving as we speak
I'll post back in a few days after my weekly checkup in my GPs. I would accept this operation again without haste.

Hey bro! How are u now?
What abt its disadvantages?
i would like to know when the tool cut the hernia the remaining jelly like substance will be less from the moment you took it out, that means in the future that the disc will be prone to more damage?
I have a few questions. What happens to the disk that is left there? Doesn’t it end up with less volume and thus increased risk of the vertebrae “colliding”? Or even the risk of new herniation?

Don't thank some mythical god, thank a doctor.
who shouted this doctor he was a sperm
Is she still OK?
Very clear explanations and demonstration. I’m in the firsts weeks of Biokinetics treatment, failing which, I’m expected to undergo surgery. After watching these videos I’m no longer terrified of the possibility of surgery, although I believe the way Biokinetics are working so well, I will most probably not require surgery. I’m a medical doctor (though not a spinal specialist), but my sister has similar problems, with her spinal degeneration much more advanced than mine. She is very likely to end up having surgery, although our (common ) spinal doctor is still trying conservative treatment for now. Thank you for the wonderful videos.

Dr.Mina in Wasilla Alaska gave me back my life with this procedure. Could not ask for a better surgeon& staff.(Lisa) I highly recommend this procedure if you're in pain. This area has low & slow blood flow, 4 to 6 weeks recovery or more. No twisting or bending. Lots of walking.

@@EdRock Thanks a lot for fast respond.15-20K is what I was quote from Phoenix AZ as well. I agree with you 100%,but I'm afraid what if it's not going to work after all that spend money.There is no "money return policy" on any of this expensive procedures.
My doctor put electrode sensors on my legs to make sure they weren't damaging any nerves when they did the procedure. I think if you're in pain you have no other choice I see it as a simple procedure not even surgery the recovery time is what's important, Not to re-damage your disc again.

God, I wish my surgery had been successful, if I were able to go to this clinic. But I also have other conditions causing extreme pain. I’ve been on prescription pain meds, but that only helps for a while. And steroid injections relieves pain for a few days, not weeks. It’s hard to explain to loved one and friends the pain I ‘m experiencing and maybe this video will help them understand. I hate it when people respond with, “Oh, I have back pain, too.” I’m 53, and after failed back surgery, pain rules my life. Even before Covid19, My mobility was limited, so I’ve been in self-isolation for almost four years. It’s depressing to know I will never live another day without pain.
I'm so sorry for you. I also have herniated discs (two, to be exact) and have been feeling pain for over 8 months. I know how painful sciatica is, and the desperation of trying to fix it, as we'd try whatever we can to solve this problem. My aunt also had a very similar problem to yours, and she had to do another surgery, with different doctors, to relieve her pain. She can now function the way she used to, before her first operation. I hope someday you'll feel relieved of your pain. No one deserves to suffer this pain.

Be strong my friend, I see you already are, you have every right to be broken yet you’re still here and still living and that’s what I’m talking about.

Is it get possible to get pregnant after this procedure. Even for normal people Carrying a baby will cause back pain. Post procedure how i could be? I have multi level disc buldge. Doctor advised me this procedure. And im also obestric. How this procedure will help
Whats the prognosis outcomes, a percentage success rate, or further treatment usually?
doctor's will tell you 50-50. 50% change of getting better or 50% change of getting worse. That's why you wait till the last moment for surgery so that there's less of a change getting worse.

How are u doing now?
Recovery is taking forever. A frend had it done a month after I did and he is almost fully recovered. So just remember everyone is different.
Sadly I've needed this surgery 2x. Both times it has completely fixed my severe painful symptoms of herniated disc L4 S1. Recovery is 2 months followed by 4 weeks of physical therapy. Both times I was home with in 4 hours of surgery, obviously your put under anesthesia for this operation.
It's worth it if your suffering from a herniated disc with sciatic nerve and or severe sciatic nerve pain like I was. Hurt to sit, lay, sometimes even standing or trying to get comfortable to sleep. Don't be afraid to get 2 or more professional options before scheduling any operation!!!
Happy to hear your pain symptoms have been completely alleviated!
Lewis, I wish you all the luck and you will continually be in my prayers, May the Doctor's hands be true and his knowledge be in God's hands.
Studies show herniated disc can recover on its own by 3 to 12 months, if you take out the herniated nucleus , the disc becomes flat and will this speed up the regeneration of the facet joint on the level and cause facet OA?
I mean degeneration of facet joint
Conservative treatment is always the first line of treatment and with several different approaches-and for several months. Unfortunately for some, those treatments fail. Most time the patient chooses the surgery because the patient has run out of non-surgical options and cannot bear to live with the pain any longer. Although there may be some flattening of the disc, the benefit of reaching relief from months of agonizing back pain outweighs this possible risk factor for these patients.
Fair enough! Thanks for the explanation!!!
Ka Chun you are right.

So how do they repair the outer disk? Or is that not necessary?
How long is the recovery after the surgery?
My doctor said use an ice pack. Lol
what is the chances of getting again disc blug on same previous treated disc?
after taken this type of treatment a patient can do start a light weight gym ?
plz suggest me
Discs can bulge again. Prevention is key. Follow your doctor’s or physical therapy recommendations on the best care for the discs in your back to reduce pressure and strain. If you like to work out at the gym, first learn techniques that strengthen the muscles that support the back including back muscles, shoulder muscles and core abdominal muscles and be very aware of your posture when you work-out at all times. Consult with a certified trainer at the gym before returning to your work out and explain your injury or back problem to them. Going back to the gym after a procedure depends on your doctor’s recommendations, which procedure you have had and in what location. An endoscopic (minimally invasive) procedure, such as in this video, will not take as long to return to your normal routine as an open procedure would. A good comfort level to start back to exercising on your own is around 6 weeks, but physical therapy guided exercises should come first and a Physical Therapist can usually get you started as early as 2-4 weeks.

How are u now.
I am facing l5 S1 disc bulge since 5 yrs
Bt now pain is making me restless 😭😭
Looking for ur reply
Thank you doctor I have same problem in workout time now make operation so I just ask that after how many days I make join gym?
Don't take weights after operation
If the herniated disc fluid is removed is there the potential for additional fluid remaining to cause another herniation or is the disc resealed after extraction?
Does the removal of the nucleus material result in a reduced range of motion as the vertebrae no longer possess a potentially significant portion of the “ball bearing” material?
What is the success rate of this surgery. Will doctor fix artificial disk at removed place to not to bulge in further.
They’ll tell you basically 100% on removing the herniation, but as far as everything else that’s a contributing factor like the persons weight or breast size or age or what you do for work. So many things play a factor that it’s more about the guarantee of a better quality of life or reversing the damage and be how you were prior to your situation.
I need to have this surgery my L4 L5 are herniated how much does this surgery cost
Have you done your operation??

4 days ago had this surgery. Had bulging disk in L5-S1. Left leg getting numb. But number of stitches is quite high in my case. Around 20.
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you are feeling. Could you please share your experience so far? Is it worth doing it?
@@MohsinKhan_mozeee operated last saturday only. Commenting at this point will not make any sense. I am still on bed. Not walking. Not atleast completing one week.
@@pallavgraphics thanks man. Wishing you speedy recovery. Please keep us posted on how you feel? Thanks!
😔
@@pallavgraphics do you have an update on your situation?
Any bone trimming involved in this procedure
I'm getting done 3rd of September 2021. My surgeon mentioned I am getting bone trimming/removal also. Create more space for future issues that may come.
@@richiep3520 can you please check with your doctor that trimmed bone will regrow again or not.
All the best for your surgery.
@@WelcomeAvin I don't see why it would as it is being removed to create more space. I will ask and in case I forget to reply, wrtoe me back in a week. That's if I remember to ask!
Thanks for sharing and educating

For anyone with this procedure, I had it too I’m so happy I don’t feel pain how ever I’m super scared to get the pain back , can someone please tell me if is normal to feel once in a while a little pain ??
what happens to the nucleus when you remove it? Will it create on its own?
vidvidvid2012 no and you have a chance That your herniation come back. since your disc doesn't absorb choc has it use to be
I think only the part which obstructs the nerve is removed and the hole is stitched or fused
No... 'the disc would havre more de degénération in the futur.. I havre this since 20 year.. I refuse any disectomie
@@momo31180 I just found out I have a L5 s1 disc bulge to the left. I have back pain when I sit but no leg pain. Do u have a disc bulge/ back pain or only leg pain. Also I only hurt when I sit not when I'm trying to sleep. Did you heal up completely? If so how long did it take and what did u do to heal ? Please help 😊🙃 also my back used to get tight when I lay down for bed but since I started back exercises 4 weeks ago. It doesn't get tight when I lay down only when I drive or sit. Are u 100% healed or do u still have back pain? Did u get surgery? Are you having any complications after surgery?
What % of these procedures result in serious complications such as nerve damage or paralysis?
I had it done about 5 years ago, I think it helped but I have two more discs that herniated since then, I’m an auto mechanic I can’t retire so I just keep working and praying my stocks hit so I can retire God willing.

Good luck! I know that each person’s bulging or desiccated disc(s) pain is subjective, but I was on that road to addiction of opioids pushed on me by my doctors before I wisened up. I stopped the opioids, lost all my fat (50 lbs) via Keto diet/lifestyle which allowed me to quit other meds I was on. I still have lower back pain and some neuralgia in my feet/legs but far less that before as well as the problems related to cervical disc problems. I deal with my pain with ice packs, ibuprofen, aspercream (sp) and the occasional Lidocaine patch, stretching, walking…I am far better off without my doctors than I was with them.

Thank you and same to you, I can identify with what you’re saying.
You did the right thing keep it up my friend.👍😁
@@gordonwaite2which disc did you herniate and how you going now?
@@kingloz36 I have had three over the years. L-4/L-5 in 2001, L-5/S-1 in 2012, (those both laid me out and one hospitalized me.) Most recently, January 2023, a cervical disc bulged towards and is pressing against the central spinal canal. That one was the least severe but still caused much pain, reduced arm and hand strength, reduced sensation, and numbness, as well as reduced range of motion of head and arms.
I finally got approved for P.T. In May and finished my last session today. I do exercises for my lumbar pain 2 to 3 times a week. I also do exercises for my neck twice a week, as well as rowing and swimming. Continuing to reduce my weight has helped. Hot showers, Ice packs, lidocaine patches, medicated creams, ibuprofen (sometimes and only 2) and stretching. I stay busy doing ALL the house work, shopping, cooking, yard work, car maintenance…as my wife still works full time. These chores keep me busy and divert much attention away from my pain/discomfort. But, hey, I’m alive! Something some of my old Air Force buddies can’t say.
Que buen video muy claro. Yo me hice un bloqueo sino funciona voy a operarme asi
merci d'avoir fait un bref exposé sur le mal de nerf sciatique
I am having this in 8 days time, Friday 3rd September 2021. He said he is also removing a small piece of bone to create a bit more space for the nerve. A preventative method to reduce damage to the nerve if the disc ruptures again in the future. My surgeon is keeping me in and plans on discharging on Sunday. So if the inner core gel leaked out, does it refill and does the disc heal and seal the point where it leaked?
I used to be a chef so lots of bad lifting for many years. I'm am 35 and feeling many years older 😅
Hey bro! Did u try injection?
@@childofgodlove2875 I was told it epuld not help as my disc is highly Compressed and disc matter has leaked and hardened. It is last the point of injections being of any help.
Hi have u done the surgery? Hows ur condition now?
@@namitham.j7113 improving well. Back to work and my mobility is great. I was told I will still have stiffness and tenderness in my lower back for some time to come. My nerve discomfort comes and goes but is nowhere near as bad as it was pre op. The nerve is regenerating and can sometimes 'act up' and again, couple of months max but I'm in the best shape I've been in years. Thanks for asking 😊
@@richiep3520 hey can you give an update on your situation?
What's the chances of the disc herniating again ?
Interested
Very good as in 100% I already had 2 times the surgery . Not this one in the video. And every time was due exercise more tissue leaked out . Not sure if I need a fusion next .

Thanks very cleanly explained video so that everyone can understand 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Que bacana esse vídeo, mas como não entendi tudo, alguém poderia traduzir ou mesmo por uma legenda para ajudar a entender melhor. Obrigado desde já.
Está mostrando como nossa coluna é formada. Tem as vértebras, com os disquinhos entre elas. Dentro dos discos tem um líquido, que sai quando o disco escorrega ou 'quebra'. No meu caso, tenho hérnia lombar discal, entre L4-L5 e L5-S1. O diagnóstico é feito a partir de uma ressonância magnética. No caso, as nádegas doem e as pernas ficam adormecidas e formigando. Dói muito quando o disco escorrega e encosta no nervo, que vai da cabeça aos pés. Mais ou menos isso. No vídeo mostram uma cirurgia de retirada da hérnia que está encostada no nervo. Uma cirurgia pouco invasiva, pois normalmente cortam as costas e fazem uma cicatriz enorme. Meu médico nunca me indicou cirurgia. Exercícios somente. Nem remédios. Este mês está pegando fogo, e a dor veio de uma forma muito forte. Tem a ver com o emocional. Esta cirurgia do vídeo deve custar bastante. As cirurgias grandes são indicadas para quem tem osteoporose, e as vértebras ficam meio ocas, desintegrando-se. Daí tem que colocar pinos. Melhor coisa é o fortalecimento muscular. Não assisti ao video inteiro, mas acabei encontrando este video que fala de formigamento e dor na nádega. Normalmente é só de um lado. Há uns 6 anos, meu médico disse que minha coluna tinha se estabilizado. Doía a coluna, por uns 10 dias. Desta vez pensei que fosse circulação. É coluna e nervoso. Estamos trancados em casa faz 2 meses, no computador, com notícias tristes do Brasil. Mas tudo irá melhorar!
@@karenritchie6694 legal você ter me respondido, eu também tenho a mesma, L4, L5, S1, Dói pra valer já estou a 1 ano e 7 meses com dor constante a L5 esta extrusa por isso as dores constante, onde moro não da para operar, preciso ir para o Rio de janeiro ou São Paulo para ver qual o melhor a se fazer mas com a pandemia não posso viajar, estou aguardando desde fevereiro pra poder ir a traz de ajuda mas agora sabe deus quando vou poder. Aqui em minas onde moro sempre que preciso ir ao medico por causa das dores eles me medicam é mandam de volta pra casa, já nem sei mais oque fazer, isso esta acabando com minha vida, meu casamento, já não é o mesmo esta me atrapalhando de mais. Quero ir atrás de um remédio ou medo operar, pois já não aguento mais as indiferenças as quais estou enfrentando. Esta semana meu conhado me arrumou uma entrevista de emprego, você tinha que ver a cara dele é da minha esposa quando eu disse, mas como vou trabalhar se um dia estou de cama e no outro me arrastando, não da pra enganar os patrões ainda mais qndo são tão próximos. Estou vivendo um momento muito difícil, desculpe se disviei o foco da conversa, mas estou longe dos meus e preciso de ajuda, estou perdendo tudo que levei anos pra conquistar, qndo vi este vídeo até me animei mas agora com os bloqueio nas cidades por causa do covid 19, estou desanimado. Obrigado por responder, valeu mesmo. Fique com Deus.
@Eduardo de Carvalho, sei o que está sentindo a um mês também descobri que estou com Hérnia, e não há remédio que alivie esta dor.. Só por Deus, eu acredito que farei a cirurgia o medico já analisou... Depois eu volto pra contar o resultado, espero que passe logo está pandemia, pra você poder fazer a cirurgia.
@@edudacarvalho Eduardo .vejo que passou um tempo . Você operou?
Estou com hérnia extrusa e passo por tudo que vc descreveu. Estou para operar essa semana particular por endoscopia e não vejo a hora.
@@daianesantiago6363 Daiane .vc operou? Como está hoje?
will the nucleus grow back to its original size since a part of it was removed while allowing the disc annulus to recover?
No it won't, most surgeries that remove part of it end up in a disk fusing
No, but if you only have protusion, the core mass that remains is enough to damp impact. Most doctor also cauterize the disk in the point of fissure.
Best video. I got cleared with the structure of spinal nerves
Great to hear!
Is the medicine without opration?. Thanks.
