When Patience Pays Off | Successful Spine Surgery at 95

Күн бұрын

At 95 years old, keeping busy makes retired nurse Vivian happy. When chronic leg pain due to spinal compression started interfering with her active life and overall happiness, she sought relief. She was turned away by several surgeons who saw her age as a risk factor, but Johns Hopkins spine neurosurgeon Ali Bydon thought otherwise. He knew he could safely reverse years of compression on her nerves, stop her leg pain and prevent eventual foot drop to help Vivian regain a better quality of life.

Wow!! This lady is amazing!! So is her surgeon. I only hope I can be as active and compassionate if I make it to 95. I have the RN down already, lol. God Bless you, dear lady.❤❤

Peace be upon you, my brother. I want to communicate with Dr. Ali. I have a case of hemiplegia. I wish I could communicate with each other through anyone

What a moving story. I am a lot younger (66) than Vivian and have been feeling some numbness, tightness in my groin and my feet. I used to be a long distance bicycle rider, but was unfortunate to be hit by 2 cars in the last 10 years. All this started in Aug 2022 and has been getting progressively worse. I am in AUS but my pain management doctor has just been throwing drugs at me that give me bad side effects. There are some good and caring neurosurgeons around! Spine Neurosurgeon Aly Bydon is an amazing human being

Wow! Hope Vivian is still going strong. I'm not 95, but I can't cope with sitting around being incapacitated, doing nothing. Need to get my neck fused so I can get back to doing voluntary work. Wish I only had to wait 1 week, but have to wait up to 898 days for urgent surgery, have waited over 1 year already. 😭
