    PAIN! I have endured the Puke Causing Pain Attacks for 16 years now, and 3 surgeries, with the last laminectomy being over 5 1/2 hrs. first 4 hrs to try to open the canal. Thanks to the last surgeon, I have no more surgery options from butchering L4-S1. Thankfully, the Abbott Spinal Stimulator Implant has remedied my pain, although will not cure the canal closure. I am able to stand 6-8 hr.s now, pain free. I wish my surgeon would have been updated in his practice. Following my surgery; he is no longer in practice.

    😂I do not know Dr. tousling, but I am three weeks post op from MILD and it is a god send! I am walking, standing, so much better! I am shocked to see that my muscles need Physical Therapy because of past inactivity! I am looking forward to activities, travel, and walking, living! This procedure is a god send!

    2nd comment: I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in my 50s. Had no problems except some numbness in my left thigh; that would subside when kicked, or pulled the knee toward chest. Was a regular jogger & bicycle rider until 2021. Now have some numbness in feet. Can walk well on level ground, but carry a walking stick for when needed. Still walk, do tai chi (not like I used to) have also taken up G’kong. And sit to much. Am 86 now and think I’d be a good candidate for the MILD procedure. (Foot note: All the bad stuff happened a week after my 2nd jab of Covid vaccine)

    You are to be commended on the quality of the information on this video. I wish you had been available when I had surgery for spinal stenosis which involved an 8 hour, 14 inch incision after all of the things you have discussed.

    Nice to see you again Dr.Toussi! Knowing my history of back problems, both lumbar an cervical, I'm seriously thinking about making an appt. with you and traveling to Lynchburg to see if the MILD procedure would help me. My neck problems have gotten much worse.

  • @jillb510
    @jillb510 Рік тому +4

    Thank you Dr. Toussi. The MILD procedure sounds very interesting. I am seeing another Dr there at the Lynchburg office and have had two injections; the last one was in January. I believe the Dr.mentioned the next step would be a form of cauterizing some of the nerves in my lower back to relieve the pain and stiffness. I have had problems walking distances,that probably caused some of my weight gain. I also have pain when standing for any extended periods and of course doing any vacuuming . I am wondering if the other Dr. does the MILD treatment because I really need something that is almost permanent. My mom had 3 back surgeries back in the 1960's and 1970's. My Dad had back surgery in the late 1990's. Both my sisters had dual hip replacements in the last 3 years. I feel in someway cursed.

    I've just been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and I have the usual pain from the buttocks area to my feet. I sometimes get cramps in my legs and sometimes going up the stairs I experience weakness in my knees. I'm currently doing exercises which seems to help with the pains and my back sometimes feel stiff. Unfortunately I can't get to Virginia as I'm living in London. What other things could I do to help me as I was told there is no cure for this disease? Thank you

    Help! I have been suffering for 10+ years now and 2 back surgeries later I'm so much worse now than I was before 😭
    I'm being crushed from my lower back to my feet. Hot burning pain, numbness, tingling and pins and needles. I have had the si joint issues confirmed but the RFA only took the cement out of the back of my legs and butt. My back pain is much worse after the RFA because it released the muscles that were holding my together 😭
