This was so interesting. I had surgery for spinal stenosis about 15 years ago when the surgeon inserted an IDD (intraspinal distraction device) between L3 and L4 vertebrae, which was very successful. However my symptoms of numbness/pain have now returned and are impacting on my mobility. I live in the UK and the surgeon I saw never mentioned any of these devices. Neither did I have a physical examination which surprised me, and I was interested to hear you thought that was important. I think this is due, in part, to funding of the NHS so maybe I will have to look into consulting someone privately. Your video has shown me how far techniques have advanced over the last ten years and I have a clearer idea of what is available. Thank you for posting this.

I have Lower Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and have tried to avoid surgery because I was warned that it is not always successful. I have had cortisone type injections but they are no longer effective. Your video gives me hope that surgery using modern technological advances might be an option for me. I wish you were my orthopaedic surgeon. Thank you very much for giving me hope.

I fell in 2015 and had cages and screws to fuse l four and five. In six months the bad was as bad as before. Fast forward to 2023. My mri showed severe stenosis, a torn disc, two ruptured discs, facet disease, and a couple of other things. I don’t want another fusion. I am hopeful with this video that maybe in a few years I can get the latest and best surgery. I am a sixty seven year old female. I have a lot of pain, but I walk, push mow, rode a riding lawn mower, garden , clean house etc. I do take a mild pain pill four times a day. I hope with your help I can get help in the future. When it is cold, I am miserable. Thank you sooo much for this.

I wish these technologies were available when I had surgeries. And folks, if you don’t need to take a pain pill, DON’T DO IT. TRUST ME!

I had surgery for spinal stenosis 12 years ago. I had 2 tintanium rods inserted from L3 to S1. Now I have tingling and numness in my legs and feet. I have recently had a MRI and the results show I have 3 bulging discs at L1,2, & 3; compression fracture at T12 and spinal stenosis at S1. I have been referred to a neurosurgeon in Toronto, Ontario. I had a very difficult time 12 years ago. I do not want to have invasive surgery again. Is there a neurosurgeon in Toronto that does the type of surgery you have talked about ?

Thank you doctor , I appreciate your time in making this video and sharing your knowledge , I have been living with spinal cord and vertebra damage for 33 yrs and it's great to see people such as yourself coming up with new solutions and technology to reduce people's suffering and hopefully improve their lifestyle. Thanks and greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

I just had back surgery but want to ask if once the Thecal Sac is damaged, can surgery repair the damage so that I can get control of my bladder again? I am told it takes a long time for nerves to heal. It has been 3months.

My lumbar pain is rapidly hobbling me, upright only 8-10 minutes at a time. Only relief is sofa surfing. What kind of doctor should I see for diagnosis? Am 74.

Doctor I'm suffering from lumbar stenosis since 10 years feeling numnus without pain after walking 100 meters. Can I treat it without surgery surgery

I have been told my herniated disc has begun calcification and is hardening while also compressing on my nerve roots in my lumbar spine. Does the ultrasonic bone shaving device work to eliminate this hardened disc material or does it only work on bone?

Thanks for all of the info I was diagnose Diffuse Disc bulge in L3 - L4 Grade 3 disc dessiccation in L4-L5 Grade 2 disc dessiccation in L5-S1 Then what they did is Epidural Steroid Injection As of now no changes happen. still I feel the weakness and numbness of my lowerback going to the feet

Hi Doc,I will have my surgery in one month by now, disc herniation c5-c6,arthroplasty disc replacement, I also have ferominal stenosis, will this surgery treat my stenosis as well? This is what I did not understand. Can you please help?

Thank you

Hello,Dr Donnally fantastic video! Very nice animations and explanations. Dr have you heard about a situation called “back mice?” Like a hernia/lipoma that sits right above the SI joint that is a lump probably the size of a half dollar maybe that can be palpated and it moves under the skin. These press on nerves and it’s so painful. I’m hoping to have an orthopedic surgeon look at it and remove it. Any experience with Back Mice?

Thank Doc fot valuable video i lave cervical stenosis and i have tingling numbness in both hand and feets abd i feel day by day got wors but still no weakness in my feets please how much cost the surgery of laminectomy and which country such technology available

I'm 65 years young, and have 3 to 5 Herniated Disks in my back, Spine is curved, Spinal Stenosis, and other issues with my back. Doctors at Pain Clinic said get cortisone shots in my back. Would give me some relief. Explained that I've tried and it works for about 4 weeks. Also, the 4 th cortisone shot. Doctor hit a nerve ? It was such extreme pain. All I could do was pray and cry. I was told pain pills will not work, and getting anxiety just thinking of this shot again. Last option is back surgery. This issues started in 2007 and gotten severe enough. To think on those shots again. Thanks, you for these video. God Bless

Thank you for the video, doctor. I have severe to critical lumbar stenosis from L3 to L5. Is there anyone in the Philadelphia area that you would recommend for these procedures? I'm especially interested in the ultrasound blade. I don't know it that would be indicated for my condition. Thank you

Thank you for this! I have stenosis in my neck & lower back. Also my tailbone has issues. 13 bones/joints in total. I’m jumping through the insurance hoops atm. Which is terrible. No pT is going to help. No shot in the spine is going to fix it. But the insurance companies want to waste money, my time, and give me more pain 🙄 I hope my surgeon is as good as you seem. ✌️
