What he did is right, should have done in first place. But this does not reflect anything on surgery. Surgery is indicated in specific cases. Please do not mix up issues. Complaints than success is because MOSt patients do surgery NOT when told but as last resort. A surgeon is more knowledgable any way, but patients have a choice.

Interesting, but scary. This would have to be the last resort.. I’ve heard more complaints than success stories when it comes to back surgery…
My husband has herniated disk on L3,L4, & L5. One of .his disc is herniated up to 6mm. He couldn’t walk,work and he was constantly agitated…
He stopped eating late @ night, fast foods, sweets, and drank lots of water. along the way he lost 15-20 lbs. his back pain disappeared and he’s back to normal. thank goodness.

@drgorewebscom I’m not really waiting for recommmendation. I’ve been told by several doctors that I won’t get it because I’m mobile. They say there are too many risks, that the back is too tricky and too many things can go wrong. They’ll get better over the years, so I’m hoping it’ll be very simple before I’m too old to really enjoy the benefits.

@newguy33X I would like to suggest you have enough evidence to think that your nerve is not functioning properly so u need attention from a surgeon who knows about this. U can choose some one who does miss surgery. B TW why u waiting for recommendation

I absolutely wish that I would be recommended for this surgery. As long as I can walk, doctors want to be cautious about it. My hamstring is tight, knee and hip are sore, and exercise is totally hit and miss for making me feel a bit better or worse. The muscles of my lower body (lower back especially) have become asymetric. It sucks.

Then nerve activity is an electrical activity. It varies all the time. Mechanical stresses are known to increase pain and numbness or pins and needles. If complaints are frequent and severe surgical correction is more rewarding. DO NOT UNDERGO SURGERY BECAUSE SURGEONS SAY, DO IT AS U NEED IT [WHEN U NEED IT]

i have the same L5S1 disc blown out and pinching my disc.
i am really scared to have surgery done, i can still snowboard, hike, work… but can be VERY painful (10of10) and sometimes leg numbing.

Yes well we are not disagreeing, there is a time for everything it seems.
My point about appropriate exercise is that even if immediate relief is minimal the lower back area in particular requires constant mobilisation to help avoid worsening the complaint. The other thing about it is that there are various anatomical reasons why the problem occurred in the first place and the slow but sure correction of those issues are crucial.
No doubt this form of surgery is less invasive than previous.

IT is heartening to see you have relief now. I would mention one MAIN thing, that is exercises per se never relieve pain on their own, unless they are for weak muscles. Pain coming from NERVE needs medication or occasionally surgery. IT is well known that natural resolution of pain is known, but in present day world with economic considerations are heavy both for patients and for surgeons so surgery is chosen at times as a rapid recovery tool. All the best!!!!

Interesting video and even more interesting the comments so for what it’s worth here’s my story.
My case was so bad 8 years ago I actually had to be rushed to hospital and had “open” surgery 2 days later. Instant pain relief but the complications from surgery took me 4 years to deal with so this form of surgery looks way better.
Major relapse 1 year ago, this time I chose no surgery, no medications, just specific exercises. Extreme pain for 11 months but has now come right and very strong.

Omg! This is not microdiscectomy is it? Im going for that surgery in two weeks coz of a 7mm disc herniation. The 1st part of your video is scary but the last part is crazy amazing. And u were awake too. What was that thing that they got? disc piece ? Its gigantic. U look great after. How long did u recover. Im glad u had a successful operation. Cant wait to hear back from u. Discomfort after procedure?

Where do they operate? I live in Norway, and here doctors say that this operation has bad prognosis. So pain killers and lame exercises here I am…

worse. Also use ice for 20 minutes at a time, 3 times a day. If you see a chiro he’ll probably set you a rehab routine including exercises and ice packs.
Congrats on graduating… I’m an undergraduate who is taking this year off because of my disc issues – it sounds tough if you have to work full time with a bad back, you may have to take a lot of time out ideally to fix this if you have to do strenous things… what sort of work do you do?
Yes, North rles =) goodluck

If it’s a disc problem, it is going to be long term…. in a couple of week’s it’ll be 7 months now for me. You’ll have to come up with a routine that allows you to control your symtpoms and eventually allow them to ease and fade. That’s what I’m doing and still it won’t go away! It can be a very stubborn problem to fix.
See a good chiropractor if you can and push a GP for an MRI. You say it’s acute, if so, it’s really important now that you stop doing ANYTHING that feels like it’s making it..

Yeah it usual is gradual. It took 3 months after I originally hurt my back and many doctor/physiotherapist visits (giving bad advice) before one day in March I woke up with sciatica down my leg – I’d finally herniated it. Mine is typically on the left.
Ouch, that sounds really bad. When did the pain in the leg first come on? Walking is good if you can manage it and you need to do some extension exercises to try and centralise that pain. Does it hurt to bend forward, raise the leg out straight?

I do a lot of walking too with the dog and in my job, so when it comes on it means I am useless for work.
I don’t think an MRI would be worth it until I see a chriopractor which is -tbh- what I should have done before.
I was at Hull/York -my course demanded to go between the two- but I graduated last year so I work full time now. Live down in Gloucestershire now. I sometimes miss the north…better nightlife!

I had some other minor back complaints before and then all of a sudden it just…came on.
I was off for 3 weeks and it did improve a bit etc.
My pain is on the right side and it’s not the spine but to the right of it. If I walk it feels weak and pain is at the top of the leg above the buttocks. It will just get pain shooting down the leg and will give way so I fall over.
Mostly it’s pain and sorness, not a whole lot of tingling.
I may go see a chiropractor tbh. It’s bad today so i’m led down.
