We’ve come a long way in spine surgery. The procedures we do today weren’t around for our parents. This is a cervical disc replacement. It limits the rate of further disc breakdown!

Thank you sooo much for this video. To say I’m miserable everyday is an understatement. I’m 26 years old and the pain I’m in day and night makes existing a task in itself. Still work a 9-5 where I’m up and down all day and by the time I get home I’m sobbing. EVERY DAY. Crying reading all these comments. This gave me the courage to get the replacement. Hoping it’s as easy as you make it sound ❣️

Most times I’m up and walking around I can’t feel my left leg, I have the numbness and extreme pain whenever I’m walking/standing. I also don’t ever get a full night of sleep, EVER. My neck pain is new though and it’s been giving me numb/painful arms at night same thing with the left leg.

Bro DO NOT get surgery. You're way to young. Remember, Dr's want to operate because that's how they make money. Throw the kitchen sink at with PT. Do traction, diet, deep tissue massage, and get the Iron Neck device. Let the acute trauma heal first...it's going to take about a year to fully heal up.

I herniated my L4-5, I started to have numbness take over within a couple days, then weakness in both legs over the course of a week. Left leg got better and right leg got worse. Now it’s been three months, numbness went down a little, but now left leg has gotten worse. I was not able to hold my bowel movement a week ago and went on the floor. Hasn’t happened since, but the numbness is painful and the weakness doesn’t allow me to do anything - I can’t walk. I close my eyes and cannot balance. Can you please give me advice on what you think is going on? I thought I had CES, but one spine surgeon said no. “Just get an epidural,” and that’s it. You’ll be fine. I took ibuprofen 800MG three times a day for a week and I barley improved. I’ve been taking ibuprofen on/off everyday - It’s been three months. Do you think I need surgery? Is it too late for me/is this permanent? Also was told I have a pats fracture.

Just MRI isn’t enough. Need to be from last 12 months. Nothing older is needed, or wanted. 4- You need to get your CD 💿 of your X ray and MRI (imaging centers will never send them to us) 5- On the top of my website (www.DonnallySpine.com) is the link to UPLOAD images, from YOUR HOME! 🤯🥰 6- To recap: email us, get CDs, THEN upload!

Look I am involved in the design of these types of replacements, and I would recommend to be careful in the opinion of surgeons since they don’t have the biomechanics and design engineering knowledge to judge the downfalls of some of these disc replacements designs. Some of them are better than the others and by far the one which still has a lot of work to do is the simple PTFE ball against stainless steel with no damping system. It allows for free movement which is better than fusion but has no damping/cushion, which also brings new problems to adjacent discs.

Hey there, I do about 15 new patient telemedicines💻🌎 every week. Here is the best path forward: 1- email your insurance card to Spine@TSCspine.com (We don’t take HMOs or Medicaid, but can private pay, unless Medicaid) 2- if we take that insurance THEN upload your images to my portal for our 1st visit. 3- I must have X-rays and MRI, X-rays are critical! “Just” MRI isn’t enough. Need to be from last 12 months. Nothing older is needed, or wanted. 4- You need to get your CD 💿 of your X-ray and MRI (imaging centers will never send them to us) 5- On the top of my website (www.DonnallySpine.com) is the link to UPLOAD images, from YOUR HOME! 🤯🥰 (or at a CVS with Physician LookUp Code k5037438) 6- To recap: email us, get CDs, THEN upload! Step by step: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftZ7gsl6xJeqg6c.html - If HMO you can reach out to a Patient Navigator at www.sonoSpineSurgery.com and they can try to help connect us!
