great to hear. When your pain returns, I recommend you look into a permanent fix, deuk laser disc repair.

Don’t believe this nonsense. Injections are fine.

I had two of these "treatments" It worked for a week then the pain returned with a vengeance I had the second one and had a massive headache for a week afterward The "doctor" said "Oh sometimes that happens" Yeah right!.....Good Bye to that scammer!!! Thank God there was no permanent damage to my back....this doctor is correct in my opinion Just FYI@@DeukSpineInstitute

I just had mine today, I hope it works for me also

@@DeukSpineInstituteI was hit by a semi in September of last year. Upon getting an MRI, it was discovered that I have a 3mm bulge in my back and 1mm bulge in neck. Them when I went to the neurologist to get an x ray, it was discovered that I have a degenerating disk. Dr said I need surgery to replace. Would you say this is proper? He also said that I could do an injection but it’s only going to mask my pain, temporarily. I’m trying an injection June 3rd….

Yea seem like I'm getting the run around and been off also

No. They only care about the bottom line. Money.

If it isn't them dealing with it, majority of them just simply won't care. Why get a job like this if they won't help? Money always plays a hand in human livelihood and who gets helped before another. If you have money, they are at your feet asking if you need anything in a nice cozy room. If you are like me and others with low income health insurance, prepare to be in pain just waiting for them to take care of you hours later just to send you home and say oh well take the pain. I'm not mad at all doctors, don't get me wrong there are great ones out there, but I am speaking on the ones who care for money and treat people rudely.

I got delayed diagnosis for 9 years and finally went to another Dr. Got a MRI and my whole spine was stenosis spondylitis Myothopey, just had a decompression surgery C5 C6 level, had a EMG the other day and that showed Chronic low back pain and sciatica on the right, and now DR. Wants to do injections... Now I'm scared....after watching these videos..... I haven't been able to work for 9 months, single mom and have lost everything.... But I have hurt for so long it is crazy.... I need some relief... Like yesterday....

Some care some don't. keep changing doctors until you are comfortable.

Wow. Very scary. I am glad you have shared your experience with us. So many people are unaware of the risks of spinal injections.

I couldn’t walk after one ESI. it was super scary even if it was temporary. I won’t let any dr give me another chance especially since I likely have EDS which makes your dura weakened. I already had 6 tarlov cysts treated surgically, I’d rather not have anymore.

​@@dianaw4072 I have multiple large tarlov cysts. No doctor will tell me what causes them. They don't know and they don't cause pain. I highly suspect they're caused from improper spinal epidurals I've had . Is that how you got tarlov cysts ?

Omg 😮

Hey! I hope you'll find this, I need your positive energy! After multiple spine surgeries and lastly ESI 3 weeks ago for pain, I'm not paralysed from my right leg. I'm walking with the crotch, but I'd hope to improve. MRI showed arachnoiditis. I haven't found any answers on net, if you can reverse back to normal after accute inflammation. Your reply gave me HOPE❤

Thank you

And you actually trust the FDA? "FRAUD AND DECEPTION ASSOCIATION"

Welcome. I have seen this happen first hand when a pain management doctor injected the steroid into the spinal cord and caused immediate paralysis. I have seen it happen 3x over the years. I had to operate on a patient that had an epidural hematoma from an ESI from a local pain management doctor who forgot to stop the blood thinners before the injection.

Thank you

Welcome

This is very true. Alot of these injections and or surgery’s can have alot of risk with them and need too be discussed more before procedure is done

Oh yes I’ve had that too. Nothing wrong with me. All in my head. Despite falling down the stairs and after that not being able to feel my right leg and dragging it around! But nothing wrong with me….disgusting. You’ve just got to be your own champion and not take no for an answer.

yeah I try and stay as far away from having any procedures done as I can. No offense to the doctors but at the end of the day we are still cutting into the human body with knives etc. When looking at Epidurals I saw a video that showed they had to puncture into the spinal cord channel with a needle, basically only using feel to sense where they were. An inavertant knock of 1cm could mean you have a needle shoved directly into your spinal chord. For me I have a hydrocele but I am happy to drain it myself, after watching hydrocele surgery videos where the doctors cut into your scrote and treat it like they are working on their truck.

they all are greedy, rare exceptions and this guy is not one exception, he is here to gather patients

Yes, exactly. I had an L5-S1 posterior spinal fusion. I came out of my surgery with severe anterior pain. I can't use any of my abdominal muscles.

Welcome friend. People have a right to know risks.

Wonderful to hear how you are doing so well.

Thank you for your appreciation.

Welcome

Shalom my friend. Thank you for your support.

Thank you

Welcome I pray for the suffering every day

This is why I’m not going to let any of them use my body as a experiment and I’m suffering now in the worst pain and don’t no what else to do

Me too. This is awful, I am a chronic pain patient and have had one set of these injections and they did nothing for my pain. I refused further shots as they are risky for no benefit too me. I suffer from fibromyalgia and have for years before this accident which also could be made worse by these shots. I have been choosing physical therapy instead and mds too help control pain

pick a good one

Thanks for sharing your experience. Fortunately serious complications are not common but awareness they exist and do occur is key to making an informed decision

@@aradeukmedjian5957 I had office visit with a spine surgeon last month. He spent a total of 5 minutes with me. Briefly looked at the MRI and X-rays, barely addressed any of the visible problems and was dismissive. As he walked out of the exam room I had to ask him what was the result of the bone scan he had me do. Standing in the doorway he said, “ oh, it’s minus 2.2, osteopenia, so take vitamin D and calcium “ and walked away. So now I have an appointment tomorrow with a different practice and another spine surgeon. I’ll have the MRI CDs, written reports and whatever else they need. If I get treated that way again, all hell will break loose. I’m always very polite and willing to discuss any plan or recommendation a doctor has, but I do not appreciate being dismissed so cavalierly. If that occurs, I’ll give up trying to get any treatment and just live with this until I’m unable to do anything.

Hi Dr I’m doing all injections did not work for me I have pain to much 😢😢😢😢😢

You need the deuk laser disc repair procedure. This procedure cures back pain from disc injuries. Use the link below to see if you are a candidate. mri.deukspine.com@@nadaadam3152

​@DeukSpineInstitute disc injuries are not what causes the pain its modic chnages in the endplates ... comeone doc.. you know disc are not what causes pain..unless its buldged or hernaited

our goal is to expose the truth

What has been covered up ? Please give us more information ?

Spinal fusion are the cure for this 😊

thank you

You are very kind. I try to help people.

I had a cortisone epidural injection to my lower lumbar back and it immediately paralyzed my right leg, I couldn't even wiggle my toes or move or use my leg. Doctor kept telling me that the feeling will come back in a fews and it didn't , he kept telling me a few more hours and I became terrified that it was going to be permanent .. He ended up admitting me to the hospital and I did get full feeling of my leg back to normal after 30 hours ! I was terrified. This happen about 10 years ago and now my new pain doctor wants me to start getting epidurals again !! Even though I told him what happened to me and I don't want to get another needle in my back ever again because it terrified me , he is still pressuring me into injections and hinted around that if I don't I can't continue to go the pain management and then I won't be able to continue to get my pain medication... I'm so sick of unethical doctors !! I have found a lot of pain relief from going to a chiropractor . You should try it .

This is a scare video. Any medical procedure has risk. I have a rare arthritis form. I’ve had 3 surgeries and 44 interventional procedures, with a minor complication from one. And unfortunately, insurance forces my pain docs to do steroid injections every year before they’ll pay for a rhizotomy, which I have done in 6 areas every year. I have a great team. Research your doctor. I would have less than half the number of procedures if insurance didn’t force stupid steroid injections.

@@slc1161Yes. It is a “scare” video. A few numbers: The “success” rate for epidurals is said to be about 80%. But what is the definition of success? A peer-reviewed article in “Spine-Health” asserted the following: “An analysis of several large clinical trials indicated that 40% to 80% of patients experienced over 50% improvement in sciatica pain and functional outcome from 3 months up to 1 year when 1 to 4 injections were given in that year.” So, in a worse-case scenario 39% of subjects had less than 50% reduction in pain. It was also reported that “the effect of the first injection decreased after a considerable relief period, for example, over 1 month.” It can be inferred, then, that “considerable relief” occurs when a patient has 50% less pain for 31 days. It has been clear to me that pain cannot be subjectively assessed by a percentage. The bottom line is that epidurals for pain are a potentially devastating invasive procedure that may be of little long-term benefit for almost 40% of those treated by this intervention. I do get it: there are those unfortunate patients that experience “suicide pain” or lesser pain that is almost intolerable. I would never suggest they discard any procedure that offers the hope of less suffering.

Why not just get spine fusion? 😊

I was scheduled, all kind of people help, trip issue, then they called. FORGOT TO GET MEDICARE APPROVAL. I cancelled. I never went back. They had all my information, medical card. How can you forget to get insurance approval?

​@@littleme3597 I've found most surgeon's don't take Medicare because it pays so little. I'm facing that now myself. Doctors will give ya the run around and come up with something to cancel the procedure. I've been totally ignored and the doctor wouldn't return my call. I've ran into this problem quite a few times. I wish they'd just tell me they don't take Medicare.. So, getting and medical treatment to correct something with Medicare is a struggle.

welcome

Hello, I wonder what would happen if you didn’t take the pain shots.

Hey I'm in same boat, did the shot help your compensation significantly like they say it will?

@@henrybeeson8366 it was a try and fail situation. Since the shots failed surgery was the next step I had done. Had my back done but not my neck. As far as compensation I feel it helped somewhat.

@@soloesbp have you tried anything else? Has anything helped your neck and back?

@LitGyal I ended up having a L5S1 fusion with a new disc. After going thru that surgery I don't want to have surgery on neck. It was a long heal process and 7 days in rehab hospital.

Thanks for sharing your perspective

totally agree

Agree. Sorry for your bad experience. Come to deuk spine where you get much better care

Provocative discography should have fallen out of vogue years ago. Diagnostic TFESI (transforaminal epidural steroid injection) or SNRB (selective nerve root block) has just as much diagnostic value, if not moreso. You should have been counseled to how uncomfortable this procedure is beforehand and I'm sorry you went through this.

@@wagdog1 thanks for your reply. I went through a battery of steroid injections and now I hear multiple steroid injections can actually cause break down of the surrounding tissues, tendons, etc in the places the steroid is injected. I’ve had them in my shoulder and knee too and now Idk what to do anymore because the last thing I need is something that gives pain relief but also damages my body. As far as my back goes the only improvement from the steroid was the sciatica but the stabbing pain was never helped. My life isn’t a great one but I’m still here trying. I can say undoubtedly that my life was forever altered when my back pain started in 2006 and that led to depression and a serious life change. There are so many ppl that judge folks thinking they look normal but they have no idea because they can’t see but a few moments of someone and should not cast judgement until they’ve walked in their shoes. Medical issues like this can completely change the course of someone’s life and has. I feel bad for humans that had to go through life with issues like back in the day this without any medical interventions but I also feel bad for those that endure it with medical professionals that are too afraid to treat a persons pain because some idiots abused things like medications. Counseled on how uncomfortable it would be? The pain was so severe I woke from sedation on the table in the OR holding my back asking what he hit me with. It felt like I was hit with a baseball bat. Yeah if he had told me that would happen I’d of never done it. He tried to get 3 specialists over 3 hours away to do it again but based on what happened they refused seeing me and I’m glad they did. I’d never subject myself to that again. I’d say medical professionals don’t always fully know what they are doing. Tried a spinal cord stimulator too and that was no help and felt like I had fish hooks in my back. Was so glad after a week to get that yanked out. Done being a guinea pig but what’s sad is most ortho docs think steroid shots fix everything. I went to a well known neurosurgeon in my area and he gave me the best advice. “I could fuse your spine but in time it would cause issues with other vertebrae and we’d be fusing more until you have no flexibility. I’d just manage it versus surgical” best advice ever even though my life is still always affected by it. Sorry to write so much, it clearly is one of those subjects... Good day to you. I did have a shot of what was supposed to morphine in the spine at one point when they considered an intrathecal pump but to my recollection it wasn’t helpful. Perhaps improper placement? Who knows.

SO BAD DOCTORS WHO TALK ABD THINGS ABOUT OTHER DOCTORS SPECIALLY IF THEY MENTION NOT A SINGLE DR BUT THE SPECIALITY OF PAIN MEDICINE , THE SAME YOU CAN SAY ABOUT GOING TO YOU OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE A SURGEON AND YOU ARE WILLING MAYBE TO DO SURGERY,.

Thank you.

Welcome

When was it done for you? You realize any benefit you get is temporary. I am sure the doctor told you it would wear off soon. Many people dont know the risks

Exactly. A corrupt and sordid affair.

I’m in the same boat. I’ve been getting several caudal epidural injections a year with current pain Dr. for years. 1 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with CLL-a form of leukemia, and I since then I said no to further epidurals. Ironically, once I was diagnosed-the Dr’s comment was, “No surgeon will touch you now”. It’s all about procedures. I asked for an updated MRI last August and of course Medicare denied, the PA ( haven’t seen the actual Dr. In over a year) refused to appeal, said there was no purpose if I wasn’t getting a procedure. Now he brought in a third party to conduct some sort of viascan 3d scan to check our hearts. When I wanted to opt out I was told by nurse it was mandatory as part of my care plan. Meanwhile, I’m suffering, can barely walk and they don’t care. Meds are held hostage. My primary just got MRI approved and I’m going to start looking to move on.

M.D I do

How you doin now?

Can you make it to Florida?

I also have multiple tarlov cysts on both sides of my sacrum that show on my MRI film and the report and no doctor will address that. When I ask about them every doctor said they're not causing any pain and I'd say well I looked online and it says they can be symptomatic and I have many of the symptoms. They still ignore all my tarlov cysts . I've had so many epidural spinal injections, I believe the tarlov cysts were caused by failed injections. I think the solution went into my spinal cord and had nowhere else to go but forming a cyst out the end of my spinal cord .. Did you get any relief from having them decompressed ? They're filled with nerve endings and spinal fluid so there's only a few surgeon's in the country that will perform surgery on tarlov cysts. I'm curious of your results ...

@@kimberlymarie3651 My experience is that tarlov's cysts can be very painful and often respond to epidural steroid injections, among other things. The reason I know they were the problem is that the patient otherwise had a normal MRI. I hope you find relief soon! -Dr. Pell
