Flipside. Everyone in the US - raise their hands if they were forced to wait 18 hours while having a heart attack in a hallway not yet even admitted to the hospital. Everyone in the US - raise your hands if they were forced to have a leg amputated because the wound specialist post operative doctor was unable to provide any service for 8 days. Everyone in the US - raise your hand if you were forced to wait 2 years for cancer surgery. Yeah - if that happened in the US those evil corporations you speak of would be sued into bankruptcy. But just go and look at what it looks like in countries with socialized health care. Just so you know - in those countries, all the wealthy have private doctors and hospitals. Oh, by the way, all those surgeons - raise your hand if your income is in the top 1-5% of all wage earners in the US. Pretty much all of them (go google 2024 statistica chart on surgeon wages by specialty). So sorry for you.

It’d be nice if you tell us you’re talking about a replacement in the back or in the neck complete the different places

a very uncomfortable topic 😂😂

I had all those problems... Had the neck.. then the lumbar... I can walk...got the feeling back in fingers and most toes...😊 Get the best doc you can and go for it...its better than suffering. 😊

I thought about and was very very close to going back to school to become a therapist a few years back but learned just how many therapists have to find work at these private equity managed clinics, if you can't go into practice on your own. Once I realized I would end up being a cog in the wheel of private equity, I cancelled my plans altogether. Very few are lucky enough and work super hard to build a clientele in ones own private practice. I also learned that therapists are quitting in droves due to this structure of; get more done faster and more efficiently while sacrificing quality.

This is a managed collapse of 70 percent of the population, as the top 5 percent, the private equity managers, and corporate America strip away every last bit of wealth, and dumping the debt on future generations.

This video was so refreshing. I am a payer for self-funded employers and have fought the system so many times over the past 25 years. I've talked to many physicians that will not "say out loud" what you have said here. In general, the American system is purely profits before patients - BY FAR! We all know that our government isn't going to help because they are bought and paid for by the healthcare corporations. I fight hospitals EVERY DAY on behalf of my clients.

Thank you for explaining . Now I’m not nervous to get my surgery done it’s like you are the answer to my prayers 🙏

American "health care" makes Christian Science a reasonable choice.

No doctor goes through all that schooling to work for a corporation. They are people who want to help being forced into a system that won't allow them to help

Thank you for your honesty. I thought maybe PRP might help and I was about to see a spine surgeon for consultation of treatment options but I'll just save my money and turn to prayer

Your videos are so informative and easy to understand, thank you. I am on lifelong warfarin for APS :( Are endoscopic MD considered minimally invasive and would surgeons perform them on APS patients? Do they carry the same clotting and bleeding risks opposed to an open surgery like a lumbar fusion? Could MD be performed without a fusion, despite spinal instability, under these types of circumstances?

Hello Doctor, What do you think about TDR ?

Had my surgery 8 years ago in Artemis Hospital India 🇮🇳 and I’m doing perfectly okay

My first surgeon said I needed a disk replacement. My 2nd surgeon said it would have made my condition worse because the greater movement would have caused my bone spurs to compress my chord further. He recommended an ADCF. He said he would remove the spurs using ultrasonic equipment, rebuild the area with cadaver bone and fuse the C5 C6, which aready doesnt have much movement in that part of the spine. The second doctor did a CT scan and movement xrays so he could see how much my canal narrowed, (the canal was <4). I do have some numbness in my hands, some abnormal reflex responses, and the spinal chord shows some discoloration at the point where it is being compressed.

Definitely the best explanations of sciatica and pain symptoms that I've viewed. Thank you Doctor.

My providers have been CNPs. Some were cash only. Best care. I do not have any health issues, and the CNPs have been more personal and more time spent with me. I tried to get an MD PCP under my insurance, and it was terrible. But, we pay so much for this insurance, and ultimately we wonder if it will even work out in an emergency.

Amazing information, thank you. I have considered disc replacement for many years. Yet I often worried about post surgical issues. I almost chose lumbar disc replacement many years ago, thankfully I didn't get one.

Thank you so much for this information. I just got my synovial cyst diagnosis. I'm very hopeful the pain can be relieved.

Is there anything in practice or in the clinical pipeline that treats or potentially halts or reverses cervical facet joint syndrome? I'm 41 and the tenderness and soreness seems constant no matter how aggressive I am with ice, heat, bed hangs etc

The voting record indicates Americans may not be as sick of corporate healthcare as they claim

I had a failed back surgery in 2021 At my local VA hospital because my surgeon let a med student who was not licensed nor had my permission to do the surgery. But because I signed a piece of paper which stated he could be present I guess is the same as ya I'll be your lab rat. All I'm saying folks be very careful where you go and make sure you get in writing who is Operating on you. Crippled for life and it can't be fixed according to a second opinion and stay away from the VA . Glad you're educating folks doc .

Share real answers if you want traffic. Withholding advice in the age of AI will get you nowhere.

You don't have a corporatist healthcare, you have a bad system of whatever that is. Even Swiss and Singapore don't have that kind of shtty system

I have cataracts in both eyes. No medical insurance. Will go blind being Poor. You don’t care so I don’t care about your medical problems!

I’m so fed up with you Middle Class bellyaching about things you have! Must be nice to HAVE health insurance TO whine about! I haven’t had it since the 90’s! Middle Class bellyache about their doctors! Haven’t had one since the 90’s! I have cataracts in both eyes. I have NO insurance! I’ll go blind eventually. Care about Middle Class whining about medical stuff? None of you give a damn that Poor can’t get medical care, I have no sympathy for YOU!

Health is a luxury in our country

i had this once 3 years ago, i could barely curl 5 kg with my arm while other could curl 40kg...i was lifting weights for 3 years , big difference , i fixed all of this with youtube ! real doctors just got me a MRI ,else they wasted my time with their half hearted bullsh!t , 5 months ago i lifted 240kg

Because for every dollar we (over) pay for healthcare, the private healthcare companies give us back 85 CENTS worth of care. That is a LOSING proposition. No other industrialized country allows mega corporations to make BILLIONS on the backs of its citizens. Only the US. We are CHUMPS.

these are issues i am facing where i cant get drs to believe me, I wanted to share a few things I am dealing with. First, I have been seen by 7 different drs that i feel refuse to believe my symptoms that i noticed around 3/2024 which other issues, mentally and physically that exist and have for many years but : 1; I have a huge knot on my neck (that drs have not seen nor felt after i asked them to) and if I turn my neck i feel an electric shock and my right shoulder blade has a stabbing pain that has become more often than just occasional. 2; tingling burning like body is asleep down whole backside and in certain places into front. 3; my gait is off and falling has become natural. 4; I used to type 80-90 wm now back to pecking and my beautiful handwriting is now like my kids when they were learning how to write scripts. 5; no more of picking up lose change quickly or trying to get dressed in a hurry, buttoning, tying anything takes about 5 minutes each, so it’s pull over or make sure someone is there to help. 6; bladder and bowel issues. won't go into detail. 7; My feeling sensation has diminished quite a bit in my feet up to almost my knees, fingers now reaching up into my arms to elbows.8; A few other small things. But it is almost 1 year later, and I just had MRI that shows my cord is only at 7mm and is over half compressed but I still had to plead for it, so I finally get to see a neurosurgeon that has put me off due to lack of 1800 dollars. I am single 52 and have been out of work since 2/2023 for symptoms that are possibly related and have no resources, but I do have insurance that would pay them all but that. I am at a loss for what to do. So, guess they are going to let me be paralyzed or dead by the time I can come up with that much. The others are medically diagnosed are severe depression/anxiety, PTSD, severe, debilitating, arthritis in knees, back, thumbs and shoulders which limit many things I do or try to do. any suggestions.

Thanks for your sincere honesty and facts. I have experienced 3 lower spinal surgeries. The first 2 were laser for arthristis spurs, canal opening and disks repair. Unfortunatly those did not last more than 3 months due to my returning to leavy labor employmenet at 6 weeks after surgeries. The last was a 5 1/2 hr. Lamenectomy which the surgeon complained of over 4 hours in attempting to open the canal. My surgeon was no longer employed with the medical firm immediatly after my surgery. This left me with a butchered back, gaping cavity and advosed by all to "Never fall down", with the pain chronic pain continute to the point of puking, clammy cold spells, with 10+ pain level 24-7. My bone density is unable to support any screws or fusions. I now have an Abbot Spinal Stimulator unit that helps ominously and improves my life. I was advised by multiple doctors that I am no longer a candidate for any back surgeries. I am 75 now and continue to live a very active life style, constantly being physically envolved and working every day. After standing or bendind in specefic positions the pain is back to about #8. I am the topic of your mentioned Laminectomy for L4-5 failed surgery, plus the spinal stenosis and canal closing again. I am not overweight, do not drink or smoke and eat very healthy, nver having complications after other surgeries. A day without pain for me is scary, like I am deceased. I have met other surgeons after that I wish would have done my procedure, even if there were complications.

I just had surgery about a month ago. Things are good so far. 🤞

Tell me about Sir C5 c6 Degenerate

Beacon diagnosed my mother with diabetes and she is the healthiest person. They were wrong and all she had was a herniated disc. Bedridden since Thanksgiving 2024.

I have degenerative disc decease in my neck and lower spine, mostly, with bone spurs and arthritis all through my back and SI joint shifted. All this because of a drunk driver coming off the road and hit my parked car. I have had two occasions where my disc slipped (or disc rubbing bone on bone). The last being the worse. I ended up in bed for 2 weeks. First week I couldn't walk. Second week I had to force myself to walk while holding unto the wall and head pressed against it to prop me up while screaming and crying it hurt so bad. Was slightly numb in the groin area which felt like heavy weights was pulling downwards. Two weeks of that pain and 2 more afterwards while walking slow like an old man. Dummy me didn't go to the ER because in the past all they did was take X-rays and a cat scan and send me home with pain meds and advice me to have bed rest. So that's what I did at home. Bed rest. Let me tell you, NEVER again will I do that. I rather go to the ER room and let them admit me into the Hospital and intravenously administer pain meds. I know eventually I will need to get fusion but so scared. And I think I may of developed Sjogrens as well.

I was pre-approved for spine surgery. Covid pushed the date till next year, but coverage was the exact same as past several years...we thought. Blue Cross quietly changed it to HPN (high performance network) and nobody except Obama clinics take it. They didn't warn my job, me, or the hospital. I got $480k of surgery with no coverage. I'm leaving America as soon as I find another country that will take me. And yet, Washington's priority is Tik Tok. I'm done with this America. It can all burn like California for all I care.

Oh stop complaining people! Don’t like corporatized health care go without! With or without insurance sometimes we have to see a doctor. They have the choice of giving you half assed care which they don’t mind doing without insurance or give you good health care! Stop complaining! Health insurance is a bother? Go without! You have a problem with your private doctor you’re lucky to have, go without one and put up with crappy ER doctors. You have a problem with food costs? Pay or starve! You have a problem with everything with a car? Go without! Sick of rents going up, poo pooing that you can’t afford your first home, pack up your gear and live on the street with the homeless no don’t have a steady roof over their head to complain about and surviving is more on their minds than buying a house! So sick of people crabbing about what they have not caring about the ones who don’t have that you complain about but won’t give up?

Revolution is the only we get out of this

Where can I contact you at I’ve reached out to you. I want you to look at the X-rays I get

I’m currently on workman’s comp due to a lower back injury and I was door dashing after a few weeks of being injured. My legs started to get weak and it was hard tocefen walkz

Thank you. You have been very clear regarding the conditions . My post Lumber fusion is great for one minute then suddenly I can hardly walk. The periods seem to come in at a 3 week stage! My spine surgery 19th May 2022 was a great thing. BUT not all has gone well, since! No longer a nerve issue but I think a facet joint issue!

I have severe spinal stenosis, and your videos have been extremely helpful to me. Thank you!

Hi sir I got diagnosed with grade 1 spondylolisthesis and l5 spondylosis after 6 months of injury i came to know about it detaild and its due to collision with steps sir while sitting and stopped sports activities where i feel pain while bending.Wearing braces and if bone fused due to braces as they said its hairline crack can i return to sports and if fused is decompression through endoscope is enough or do i need a tlif sir.I can raise my leg till 90 degree and rarly having keg numbness. while activities pain is high but bearable at rest good sir and 22 years old.

Im 22 and got pars in xray looks like a hairline crack using braces and currently stopped my sports activities and this is due a accident while sitting in steps sir where i collided and most of doctors say no fracture signs snd says only l5 vertebrae is sliped forward where diagnosed with grade 1 spondylolisthesis. Can wearing braces can help me to fuse the bones again and i feel the pain during sports and not sure due to nerve pressing or pars defect and if fused can i return to sports sir ?

Spine surgery is no joke! Especially fusion! Once you go down that rabbit hole you are hooked and will be mostly a repeat customer. I had spondylothis i suffered debilitating lower back pain. The first surgery went very well. So well I was ready to get back on the table for more. But I was stupider than stupid. Well besides not using the same surgeon I went with one very close to home a hospital that specialized in nothing . Needless to say things didn’t go so well. Surgeon misplaced two screws that pierced my L3 nerve on both left and right sides. If I could show the CT a layman could see the problem. I have not been the same following. Doctor denied screw misplacement until 3 months later when my original surgeon had step in. He ordered a CT clearly showing the screws out of lateral in my L3 nerves. Now my 3rd surgery removed the screws driven into the nerves but the damage was permanent at this point. Approximately 8 years later I required my fourth surgery after living a totally sedentary life from the damage I received when the second surgery screws were misplaced. As a rule if you have a fusion you can expect to need surgery again after 5 to 10 years. Things to also consider that might not be obvious Your stride will be reduced with just two vertebrae fused. You will lose range of motion the more vertebrae fused the worse movement becomes. My advice would be to make sure you find the best doctor; there’s many but there’s also many hacks! They may come off as wonderful! There’s big money in spinal surgery so it attracts a lot of good and not so good doctors. Please be careful you only have one body and one surgery can ruin your life. I’m am very great full for the surgeon that did the best for me at HSS!

Our government doesn't protect us from insurance

Health insurance companies are effectively quasi-governmental organizations since the ACA. Obamacare is the gift that keeps on giving!

And you think that government run healthcare would be better??? Try it sometime! IT SUCKS! Give me corporate healthcare anyday!

Can't afford insurance , can't aford medicine , 60yrs old no one hire me just fucked in general 😢

In contrast Australian example of how it can be: my 67 YO sister has just had brain surgery for 2 tumours, diagnosis included 2 cat scans, 2 pet scan. The treatment including ICU cost her $0.
