Hi Dr, So with Elon Musk……He promoted in having a disc replacement surgery which he did indeed had it. I think sometime after a bit like me now started to get back his symptoms and he revised it for a fusion surgery and now he is doing great. I think he was criticised due to what transpired after the first surgery so he would not promote disc replacement surgery. It’s a common trend that a lot of people are getting out these discs around the word labelling it the next big thing…….but in fact is one of the biggest surgeries to be revised. A ridged Fusion is the best and I regret not listening to my first surgeon and I got a second opinion. I have learnt a valuable lesson session.
Indeed a very good informative Vid. Thank you. For me had, L5/S1 fusion May 2022. Had some issues regarding bone union after 6 months. But seemed to settle down. Though now 2 yrs and 6 months past have gone right back to where I was! Despite the hardware, the actual bone fusion was very limited. I am a plasterer and do loads of bending. Sadly all going bad yet again? Ultimately it might settle down with some rest, but will likely happen again in the future. There is a fracture within the fusion ATM and I have been on pain killers for 3 weeks now. Sadly very hard to get the NHS interested in helping me at all? Can feel my spine shifting around at that point despite the metal clamps in place!
Thank you very much Dr Ghosh for this fantastic, informational video. What is the meaning of narrowing of the C3/C4 to C6/C7 intervertebral disc spaces associated with end-plate sclerosis? Best regards. Alfred
