Great video explaining what to expect after ADR. I had my surgery almost 3 weeks ago, and the back pain in my L5/S1 level is gone. By 10 days, my buttocks started being in a lot of pain, and it goes down my right leg. My doctor had told me this was likely going to happen. We will start PT, and hopefully, in a few weeks or months, i will be 100% pain-free. I am very happy with my doctor and the surgery overall.

Thank you so much for this video. I had artificial disc replacement surgery four days ago and I’ve been in so much pain in my back. I was super worried that something was wrong, because my surgeon didn’t explain why that pain might happen, but this puts my fears to rest.

What about eating protocal immedietly after and in the following weeks? A lot of foods normally eaten are anti inflammatory, even herbal teas - should we try to eliminate these foods and if so for how long? Thanks.

Great video using easy to follow terminology very informative . Would a spinal fusion be superior to disk replacement ?

I fell on my wrist 6 weeks ago, bot broken or fractured. Got a ultrasound and it showed the median nerve inflamed bigger. I cant bend my wrist without severe pain. My wrist was perfect before my fall. What can i do.

I’ve had extreme pain in my whole hand can’t even move my arms without the pain worsening. It shoots the pain all along my arms and to my shoulders. It’s only happened to me 3 times. Just randomly woke up with my hands arm and shoulder in agonizing pain. I’ll take at least 1200 mg of Tylenol and it only bearly mutes the pain. Im only 23 Im not sure what could’ve caused this. I don’t know if it’s carpal tunnel, I can’t even go to the doctor cuz I don’t have insurance. I hope this isn’t a new norm for me…

Also, how long do these artificial discs last?

I believe I need this. 3 years ago I went to a Chiropractor. He took x-rays and said I didn't have much if any cartilage in my bottom 2 rings of my spine. At the time I didn't feel much problems in my back. I went to him for other reasons that I thought might be related to a back problem I had months earlier. Now I feel it. I can't walk more than a few hundred yards without feeling pain in my back. I have been trying to find somebody here in Colorado to perform a disc replacement but nobody seems to want to do them anymore. I guess because of customers complaining of pain after the surgery. Seems they all want to do Fusion instead. How comes this isn't a problem in Fusion surgery? Does the pain go away after a while without additional treatments as the ligaments adjust to the new discs?

Does this effect future strength in the hand wrist or a forearm ?. Im a amaturer Arm wrestler that why Im asking about strength.

You seem very knowledgeable.Where are you located (I’m in Washington State)? I am a 47 year old female in good health, and just had (about 3 weeks ago)a cervical spine disc replacement, in the c6-c7,but am feeling worse than before the surgery. Also had a hip reconstruction around 2011, and a total hip replacement around 2020 (all on the right side). I asked and asked if the two could be related, but was told no. Just searching for an honest answer. I think they are connected.

So I had one in c5/c6 woke up all my pain got after 3 months pain come back I found out it calcified and bone spurs grew around it…….and it’s close to my spinal cord….also the disc replacement did not do anything to my facet joint pain at the same level fusion does…….so it was a big mistake and I will have to have a revision surgery end of year 😢

I have been suffering from this kind of pain forever. This years I decided to put an insert in my shoe to raise my left leg and it has improved 88%.

Fabulous and incredibly clear. I Have CTS and will have surgery in four months. Thank you sooooooooooooo much!

im slow. your explanations went over me head.

Showing in darkness, not clearly audible .useless for viewers.

Is this the same mechanism that causes sharp pain down between the shoulder blades after cervical disc replacement? Do you know how long it usually takes for this pain to resolve after CDR surgery? Are there exercises or stretches I can do to help improve this pain? Which muscles can you strengthen to take strain off of the stretched ligaments?

Is it recommended to do both wrists at the same time, or do them separately with a waiting period?

My pain from my neck to both my hands every day and night. Hopefully the doctor I am going to will help me. Been living with this for 20 years. Very Very tired of it.

The Samsung screen!!

I had an L5/S1 fusion & L4/5 disc replacement in 2014. I'm suddenly having excessive lower back pain & leg pain down the outer right thigh. So bad it's painful to put weight on my leg at times... Why so sudden & continuous?

Do you always recommend therapy before recommending surgical intervention?

I know this an older video but what about woman in Menopause, when estrogen has decreased over time?

I’m getting both carpal and cubital tunnel surgery and had a lot of trauma in my left arm

Does it help with ankle joint?

u have weird - "dangle" fingers....they are too long for your palm...

I had carpal tunnel release on both hands, about 10 yrs. apart. I had the open procedure. I went to occupational therapy for both hands, at least 15 visits each, so a long time. About once a yr. I still have wrist pain that I have to wear a brace for about 4-5 days. It has happened to both wrist at the same time. I don't know why.

I do boxing as a hobby and the thenar muscles hurt

I developed plantar fasciitis right after a 2 level lumbar disc replacement, similar to the one you showed in the video. Is that common?

I get severe pain in my fingers and hands while playing guitar. I've already been diagnosed with CTS but I'm worried there may be another issue there due to the amount of "cramping" and "dull" pain that is present while trying to play .

new research suggests 12 mm2 is the cut off

Thank you for this Video. Very Helpful, Easy, Direct, and Informative.

I have suffered from Carpal Tunnel in both of my hands for years and nothing has even come close to giving me the kind of relieve that this taping method has. Within seconds, I could feel the tingling and numbness going away and I could feel my fingers again. I work from home by doing many different types of customized projects for individuals, and my hands are a MUST have. Thank you so much for sharing this method, it has given me back the ability to do what I love.

I’ve been having this burning sensation in my thumb while drumming the past couple years or so and it didn’t really happen before that. It’s to the point that it happens so easily that I pretty much can’t play. My right hand grip is also noticeably weaker and stiffer than my left hand. I’ve gone to this hand and wrist specialist who thinks it’s carpal tunnel but is unsure because I have no tingling or pain. It’s just in my thumb at the base as well as wrist stiffness and weakness, as well as a tiny bit of pain in my ring finger knuckle that’s constantly there but only if I touch it. I got a cortisone shot in my wrist to see if that helped and it didn’t really help. I’ve gone to a chiropractor for months… no difference. I also got an MRI that showed nothing was wrong with my neck, spine, or any nerves in that area. Any idea what this could be?

You Up fall asleep first at a sleepover:

Im looking for disc replacement surgery. The pain im now would be nothing compared to ligament pain due to them being stretched. Eventually theyll stretch enough to not cause any pain.

Doctor how contact with you ,thank you, i have problém SI joint ,can i sent my MR.

Doesn't increased pressure in the back spine segment indicate excessive implant height? How then the right height of an artificial disc should be measured?

What is the long term failure rate of this procedure? Like just people complaining of pain?

I wish you had a sketch of this exercises to download and fallow.

Very good demonstration and quality commentary. Thank you.

The burning 🔥 sends me over 😢

Very well explained. Thank you. Watching from Germany where I will have this operation soon. We can take up to six weeks paid leave off work. That's normal...if needed. After six weeks you are paid 60,%of your wage. All this doesn't depend on the work you have. Anyone is entitled to.I lived in the US for two years and will never understand the system of hurrying back to work after you are sick.or had surgery. Even with a flue we stay home for a week. I hope one day your healthcare system gets fixed for everyone in the US.

Hmmm. My numbness and pain are mostly in the opposite fingers and my "doctor" told me I most likely have carpal tunnel syndrome.

absolutely beautiful demonstration

Hope you’re getting well paid for a completely unethical advertising. I’m sure it’s legal but immoral to the core.

I've just started having some pain in my middle and index fingers and wrist the past week and was really worried about it being carpal tunnel since I had heard it's hard to treat, but this makes me feel a lot less scared and more confident to go to my doctor and make sure I get it dealt with.
