@@yami2828 get an MRI to see if there is disc bulging and nerve impingement. If not, get a doppler/ultrasound to see if there is blockage or narrowing of leg arteries. Leg heaviness and fatigue are symptoms of blockage or severe narrowing.
I've been fighting with this for a year. Went to the ER twice. Finally got an MRI. They said I had bulges in the L4, L5, S1 but they said it wasn't bad enough to cause the pain in my legs, feet, and feet swelling. What a joke. I'm doing decompression therapy and it's starting to work.
Here’s the problem… I have been in Agony for 2 weeks. I went to 3 ERs and the treatment was horrific at each. Each copay $500. They wouldn’t treat my pain. My ankle, hamstring, gluteus, and pelvis burning and pulling and felt like a bulldozer was on it. I couldn’t go to the bathroom I think because the pain is so bad. Can’t sit. My foot is swelling up. The on call doctor mocked me like I was drug seeking. Nobody would help and I was screaming in pain for days and days and days. They treated me horrible. FINALLY my outpatient MRI came back and my regular Otho doctor looked at it and had a surgeon call me within 15 minutes for emergent surgery which is Tuesday. I am utterly disgusted with the ER treatment and the suffering I endured. I can’t wait for Tuesday to get some relief. Finally yesterday the doctor prescribed a few pain pills to get me to Tuesday. So going to the ER is worthless because they won’t do anything but collect your money and watch you suffer while they roll their eyes at you.
Exactly. I was hospitalized for two days last year with my back and I was accused of being an iv drug user. Seriously I hate pain pills and I hate needles. The hospital was so ignorant to me. I'm not a candidate for surgery though so I'm supposed to just suffer for the rest of my life.
For me it was the opposite. They couldn’t care any less about what was causing my pain. They just pumped me full of opiates and sent me on my way. Absurd.
Dr's today , just want to make money......
@@jamie7664That or steroids, or gabapentin. How about fixing it rather than just drugging people up ?
L5s1 critical ...severe cervical damage top to bottom and large mass at the epidermis due to strangulation critical
This is so wonderful for you to give this to so many that goes to doctor and leave office or hospital with no information of truth just keep sending you to another person and before clarity you’ve got a half year gone before your told something this is keeping people on edge and out of work with this they should be better at helping people get information and better at getting there health back I realize a lot of people are being seen but really there’s no help on aid to some out of work till things are clear to patients on how help is there how to apply we turn to phones and find what some doctors ignored to help with so I give you praise to give this to us Thankyou. God Bless
Hello Debra. I hear your frustration. My patients tell me the same about their experiences with that. Thank you for your kind words. Best regards, Dr. Walter
Exactly about the Dr’s
Thanks to the Dr that gave us information.
May God bless you and the Dr on here. ❤
Dear Dr.
Well explained. I am following your exercises and feeling better than before.
Thanks for your contribution to humanity .
So happy to hear this Vijay. Have a great day!
Also doing all the exercises that you share, and also given by my therapist. It lessen the pain by doing regularly.
I got these from my work due to prolong sitting ,I've been working as an employee for 38 years now
This is the best explanation I've ever heard of lower back problems. I have severe lower back pain, and I didn't have the leg strength to stand up from a chair. I called the nurse about 2 days ago and she suggested I go to the ER, but I didn't. I didn't realize that it could be that serious. I guess I'd better reconsider.
Thank you for all your videos and sharing all your knowledge , thank you !
Glad you like them!
Thank you for taking the time to explain a different situation to someone so they can possibly understand and or other people in that individuals orbit might have a opportunity to understand or might show some interest
My pleasure.
@@DrWalterSalubro Info on how to contact
@@DrWalterSalubro I'm loosing major control of L2L3 bad
I had experienced this. got rolled into the ER with this exact pain down both legs. Seemingly normal 30 yr. old with extreme pain with no trauma accident. I was in tears asking for an MRI and was denied because I wasn't in a traumatic event. I called my ortho & told his staff what was going on & they immediately ordered an MRI. There it was, sitting soo pretty was a HUGE bulge at L5-S1. Because of some other health issues & medication, the bulge receeded. After I was taken off the medication, it swelled back up so I had another ortho visit. He ordered another MRI & got my insurance to approve it. I had surgery to correct it. When I stood up after surgery, I cried because the pain was FINALLY GONE.
I'm so happy for you. I, too, had this experience when I was in my 30s many years ago, but fortunately my family doctor sent me to a neurosurgeon who told me if it were him, he'd be on the operating table. I cried but immediately scheduled my surgery. It wasn't an easy rehab, but I, too, cried for the relief after surgery. So glad you are out of pain. Only those who've experienced the intense pain of this can fully understand the relief. Be well 🙏
I didn’t get surgery but I am having trouble exercising to help heal I’m in pain most days but I can walk thank god. My mental isn’t there and feel like the healing process could be going better still can’t lift much and other days I walk with a cane and wear a back brace. Any tips on getting motivated to do stretches?
@@amandabrown9387 From my experience any amount of stretching actually made the pain and symptoms worse. Seeing a good physiotherapist, lots of rest, nerve flossing and basic walking were what got me on the road to recovery. The long term works becomes addressing the postural/physical imbalances that caused the disc to bulge in the first place.
And what surgery you had?what type?
What made the bulge recede for a time? PLEASE EXPLAIN. I have L5/S1 very recently found BULGE.
Great info doc! Always want to make sure to refer out if warranted!
@DrDudum, Thank you.
Thank you so much. So informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for explaining . I’m concerned that I may have this. I’m having an MRI this coming Thursday and we’ll know what’s going on then.
Thank you doc for the very informative video, I am suffering that severe L4 L5 disbulged. But I thank God I am not suffering all those urinary retention,etc
Thank you very much for all the useful info.
Fr. Philippines
I am 54. When I was 25 woke up with severe excruciating pain- dr gave me meds said rest- 2 nights later woke up pain changed to numb like then in am had trouble "closing" when I went to urinate- dr sent me to er- went mri then straight into surgery- Cauda Equina- happened again 6 months later- 1 more surgery 2 years later due to myelogram findings - life changed forever- but could have been worse- still have nerve damage and pain - now have severe deg. disc dis and severe spinal stenosis - dr says 2 rods min 12 screws needed through several surgeries not guaranteed to work. I am crooked- have trouble standing at times- or walking any distance-. I am alone and can't go through that surgery now- just trying to keep teaching 1.5 yrs and retire- Are there any groundbreaking therapies or advances? Thank you for showing this- I pray no one else has to go through this but if they do- should NEVER delay contacting dr. I am despondent about my future at this point- so sick of pain. I have an intrathecal pain pump and am trying ablation in next month- its all so scary. I do Pt, accupuncture, needling, cupping, only med that works is baclofen and it knocks me for a loop even at lowest dose. My MRI results are frightening and have recently had spinal "collapse"- now 2 inches shorter. People should appreciate and maintain spinal health- and understand possible devastating consequences if they don't. Cauda equina damage can be irreversible. I wish there was some hope. Thanks again- people need to know how serious this is.
@philiciamollere5316 I had cauda Equina syndrome march 2022 - had all the above information this Proffesor is talking about L4 L4 S1 I believe, I had titanium in place and I needed oxyconton for 16 months before realising I had a strong addiction to them so I came off them with great support and difficulties and now all I use is baclofen. Baclofen is the drug I should have been using all along, but I don't get side effects they just work & I'm getting back to my normal self again. Effects my erectile functions up until I had tapaildilf, now I'm back on the saddle. Hope you keep improving buddy, God bless 🙌 🙏
❤
Great presentation.
Glad you liked it!
Very helpful video!! thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for explaining into detail what my doctor didn't.
Glad it was helpful!
TY Doc.!
Thank for your help.
You're welcome!
Took a tipple whammy right before pandemic, l4-l5 l5-s1 and a thorasic at t6-t7 kept me in a bad way for 3 years couldn't sit or lay down
I adopted the "primitive man" way of sitting which to this day is how i rest most the time if you can call that rest, but proper spine alignment got me up still numb especially my feet but better than that chronic burning, i recommend "balance ball" exercise to strengthen your core but whatever you do do not let muscle atrophy set in
The best set of videos I've seen. Very helpful. In my case I had severe sciatica, then I started falling (7 times) until I was unable to walk without a walker. Then the muscle in my right leg refused to work. My doctor paid me a home visit and did several tests. One of which was he lifted my left leg and told me to hold it. I did that without pain or any problem. When he repeated the test on my right leg it fell to the ground uncontrollably. I have had both hips replaced one of them twice. Your thoughts?
Hello. I am sorry to hear this. Unfortunately I can not give any answers here without getting more information that would come from a full case review, consult, and examination. I hope you can appreciate this. Do continuing consulting with your doctor or ask to be referred to a spine specialist.
Two years ago I suffered the same symptoms as I do now, bilateral sciatica, severe lumbar pain, pins and needles in my hands and feet and a sensation that my feet are standing in cold water. Prior to the back pain and bilateral sciatica developing, I had sciatica in my right leg only that lasted for 8 months and was sent for an MRI which showed DDD of L4 and L5. It's so difficult to sit or lie down and even move around with my entire lower half in excruciating pain.
how are you now
Thanks doctor Saluto
I did all 5 exercises!!
And
Thank u 🙏😊
Never had retention or the cauda equina but I did sit to go poo one time all normal but when I pushed and went I felt something shift and the usual back pain when its really bad followed and I was unable to get off the toilet for a while until I figured out a way to use my surroundings to pull myself up in the least painful way. Thanks for the warning signs that merit an ER visit.
I have all of these and already had a laminectomy 20 yrs ago. Have been waiting over a year to see a specialist.
Thank you for sharing this.
Many thanks Doc. That’s cleared up a lot, as they don’t tell you this in the UK 🇬🇧. Some of the symptoms happen an I’m off to hosp. So waitin for MRI scan to come through.
Thanks so much for the help
Wow. I’m glad you’re on top of it.
Hey how are you now?? Hope you're doing well ❤️🩹. Did you had surgery???
I had the first 1 you explained and your exactly right 😮
@rondellholder2784, Thank you for sharing.
My disc herniation was massive according to the doc. Lost movement in my right leg after 2 surgeries in 2 months i was down for 8 months. Year later no pain at all back in the gym, doing work inside/outside of the house plus back golfing too. But the some of the nerves to my right legs are still not working correctly.
THank you sir. Definitely having issues with disk bulges but also fat inside L5? Will be keeping an eye out for these 3 symptoms.
@user-cd8oc6rn1h, Thank you for sharing.
That does having fat mean?
I have pain in right toe slightly swollen, three slipped disks, nerve compression weaknes in legs for last four years neck pain arm pain, had loss of balance. On occasions cant stand up straight for a few minutes.
you just explained everything that's happening to me
Did you go to the ER? I went 2 weeks ago and was diagnosed with L5 herniated disc and sciatica 😢
It's one leg though, not both
I went into my primary care provider with these exact complaints(all 3 of them(They checked me everywhere), she sent me to the ER and they were able to get a me a MRI that day. It came up that I had this but they had not ever run into the problem with someone not being able to go pee before. They were kinda weirded out by that. They recommended Ortho, Ortho sent me to go get a EMG done. I go back in a couple of weeks to figure out what the next step. I am however walking with a cane(it is honestly hard to get around, it is extremely painful and feels like constant pressure) and there is lots of numbness and burning down both my sides of buttocks and legs and feet and also gained numbness in my feet(I have tripped& stepped on/over my feet now). I am hoping for the best. This is my first video Ive watched about this too. Thank you for the video and I hope I see more of your videos. Can you talk more about what we can or cant do? With this injury, have you talked about this in other videos? If you have, could you point the direction of the video please and thank you.
Hello. I am glad you are being looked after. Please do a search on my channel page for other videos under L4-L5 search term or disc bulge or bulging disc for more info. I cover a variety of topic.
This is happening to me now. I had thoracic spinal fusion 6 years ago but they never operated on my L5-s1 disc herniation
This information terrifies me to know. I do have an appt. with a chiropractor and an orthopedic surgeon. My appts can’t come quick enough to calm me 😞 on my cat scan it said moderate diffuse disc bulge versus medium sized central disc herniations are evident at L4-5 and L5-S1. There is no compression fracture or listhesis. Mild levocurvature present. I’m almost afraid to move around. Yesterday I sat to long and my belly and waist swelled up. And Thank you for posting this video.
Most surgeons will push for Physical therapy first. Before and after surgery. So You def want to keep moving. Use the heating pad, it helps heal and loosen your muscles. If severe chiropractor will not help nor will you want someone adjusting you when you are in pain. Well wishes...Spine Surgery is a Neurosurgeons specialty. Always get more than one opinion. Pain management shots are a temporary fix to sooth the pain. Check into a laminectomy a procedure my surgeon is doing. Not fusion in lumbar I'm
Well wishes...Good luck
Thank,s doctor...
You're welcome
I've had troubles going number 2 for 5 years. Doctors have known about it. No one has rushed me in for any surgery. I'm in Nova Scotia. I'm only 34. Also have the horrible situation of being in intolerable pain when I need to go, but I can't go without digital stimulation and enemas. The disc is clearly interacting with my bowels or intestines, which has actually led to me avoiding food whenever I can so I don't produce stool. So tired of it. 😔
I am sorry to hear this.
Medics have given up on back surgery to help anyone anywhere in the world. They are so overpaid the economics of this cause the suffering of us all
I'll mention this and it may not pertain to you but in case someone else reads this it can be something to consider, the enemas may be exacerbating the situation through inflammation or with whatever other workings going on up there.
I don't know you or your habits, but many people are dehydrated and never know it. I was one of them but now I drink plenty of water and what also helped me with a bowel movement is I drink a tablespoon of olive oil before I go to bed at night. You may not see immediate results; it may take a couple two or three days. GL, I hope you get well.
I can help you if your problems about discs
Did the surgery and still having symptoms you mention. I kmowhave been diagnosed with fibromyalgia
I have everything you've described. I've been to the ER three times. They did NOTHING. They gave me muscle relaxers and pain pills. Three Doctors, in two hospitals. I finnaly found a chiropractor that helped me to at least be able to move. After one year I can function much better, but the discomfort at a much lower level is still there.
Hello. I am sorry to hear about that. I'm glad chiropractic has helped you.
I’ve been dealing with sciatica pain for 5 years. 15 epidurals,mild procedure, pt,pain meds. Now have pain in both butt cheeks going down both legs into calf. Two surgeons say surgery but not with a 55% success rate.
I had a 3 level fusion 28 yrs. ago. Crazy, chronic pain. Good part I can walk.
Thank you sharing.
My back pain started 30 yrs ago post natal. Sciatica started about 15 yrs in one leg, then gradually spread to two legs. About 4 yrs upper right quadrant back pain started and around 6 weeks pain in neck and shoulder blades. 😢😢😢Im only 47 and My body is in pain. MRI confirmed l4 l5 disc bulge.
Thank you , again 💫🌎 🇺🇸
@robinshepard4571, You're welcome.
Thank you for explaining this so well.
Definitely got multiple symptoms but unfortunately WCB has repeatedly incorrectly recorded my injury reporting.
I even had a physiatrist say that the pain I felt at the time of injury was related to the injury but the very same pain since then and when he examined me was not related to the injury.
Tell me how THAT makes any sense.
Sorry to hear this. Thanks for sharing.
Wow interesting keep sharing
Thank you, I will
Scary stuff! 😮
Hi doctor, and thank you.
What about back acnes exactly on where disc bulged? Is it dangerous?
Hello. I don't understand your question.
Thank you Dr for the excellent exercise
@mangalabishnu8600, You're welcome.
@mangalabishnu8600, You're welcome.
Great they put a bladder stimulator in me, still have leakage. Now they see the L4 L5 damage.
Just hope your injury didn't come from work. Else you won't get any quality medical care. I'm on year 20 since my injury that left me unable to walk unassisted for 6 months and now on SSI and barely surviving. In constant pain, bladder control loss, frequency xs 30 plus times a day. I had all 3 of these symptoms and more. I became urinary incontinent within 48 hours of injury
I’m so sorry to hear this.
Yes that is terrible. My husband was injured at work and the medical care he received was terrible and he had to sue to get compensation and that took 3 years. I hope you can get some help.
Lady I can relate. Broke back ,, at least 7 vertebrates and fractured hip. W/C
Iam on my 5th pain pump. Which used to help me, so much so I could Hit Gym Hard. Not in last 12 years due to constantly reducing pain pump medicine and my oral medicine., Specifically the last 6 years. Doctors keep blaming opioid crisis and a ton of other excuses. Stay away from stimulator if you can. I've never known a person they've helped. In fact I took a count, in a chronic pain sufferers class of how many hands, went up. People that started out with a stimulator and then had to get implant pain pump. 26 out of 32 patients had Stim first then received pump. The pump works. Most times the stim does nothing and is turned off before the pumps implanted. And if you need hip replacement on top of lower back pain. Well you're out of luck because you can not have MRI of soft tissue in hip if you have a stimulator. BC it's located above the right hip. Most times. I hope this helps someone
I have this same injuries Plus a lot more I now have 5 ruptured disc in my lower lumbar one of those 5 is S1. Many of the same issues has you. This past April they found three more disc in my neck. I was a Police Officers for 15 years before becoming injured. It’s been rough but Jesus has made away if you get Disability and Medicaid your medical situation will change for the better. I will be praying for you that things will change for the better for you. God Bless
Hey Doc, id appreciate any info. I have some pain in my lower back, but mostly the area directly between my butt and my hamstring on one leg. Could that be an SI joint? Also i have the pissing problem where its hard to come out, but that only happens in the middle of the night when i wake up and my body has been holding it, otherwise i piss fine, just really frequently, i have a feeling that's a prostate thing, but I'm not sure
I’ve had 8 back surgeries since 1989. Now i have rods and screws in my back from L3 to L5. I still have back pain to the point that i have a Morphine Pump.
I had cauda equina in 2003 because of a disc buĺge and fragment at L5-S1. Now in 2024 I have issues with L4-L5 and its trying really hard to go full cause equina. I do have some bilateral leg numbness but my biggest concern is the numbness in the groin. Not really saddle syndrome but disturbing none the less. Terrified to go to the hospital with the current state of the medical system in Canada...
Im a fellow Ontarian and this video only made me very very sad about the current state of our healthcare system. I will quote my diagnosis here from my MRI results report -->"At L4-L5 level, there is disc bulge and a right paracentral disc herniation compressing the thecal sac and the right-sided traversing nerve roots." I went in MANY times to see multiple doctors and in to the emergency room and each time I get brushed off, and literally nothing has been done about it. I have the saddle paralysis when it flares up and have zero ability to walk as my right leg is useless from the knee down. Not a single plan was put in place for me as far as treatment goes other than being given fancy advil. lol im only 33. THIS SUCKS 😅
You need to get a referral to a pain clinic they will check you and test you then treat you I think there is a big one in Toronto Mount Sinai hospital but really google them you won't regret it
@jazmineroche5416, I am sorry to hear this. Get a second opinion from other doctor(s), spine specialists. I am in Vaughan, Ontario. I know what you are talking about. I hear it from my patients every week.
I use chiropractors. They are my go to for help.
Traction! 😉 Gravity assisted! suspended on your thighs/trunk joint, leaning over a low railing holding a suitable weight close to the centre of the chest, for as long feels comfortable is what I do, just said I would share the release ❤I found personally.
I am not a medical person just a fellow suffer.
I have pain lower right, and goes all the way down the front right side of shin and top of foot, Had mri was told crushed disk L4 pinch. Have insurance but cant work to afford surgery, I went to long trying to find the prob and fix this that ss wont help now. I love this country paid in for over 38 years tried fixing myself and finding the problem by the time I went to three diff places over the years my availability for ss help was gone.
I had severe pain in my left testical and hip. I have slight bulges on my l4andl5. Also had a prolapsed discin my l1and l2, that won't go back and have numbness in my left butt and cold feelings in my lower back, almost like ice cold feeling. Orthopaedic has given me 4 weeks of medication to take inflammation down. Pain has eased off but still cannot stand for long or walk for long. Hip seems to ache most of the time.
So if you're actually seen in the er what would they do beside labeling you as a drug seeker and refer you to a surgeon
I have severe pain shooting down both legs. It's been like this for 4 months and getting worse. My quality of life is deteriorating but I don't have money for a specialist. No numbness but severe pain. Wiping after after toilet, coughing, bending forward, walking etc is torture. I hope it eventually stops. Literally living a nightmare
Go to the ER !
I need Dr had method of treatment only
I have had those symptoms for 3years.Urologist diagnosed ingual hernia.I was mapped for surgery still haven't done it.l4l5 bulbous poulpous spondlylothesis with no urologic cladication.what can you do when Dr don't listen or hand you off to another specialist
I have MRI's, x-rays, and CT scans of my spine. I have a total knee replacement in my left knee that increased the length of my left thigh and raised my left hip by 10 mm. Herniation on my left side of L5-S1, pain shooting down both legs and numbness the more I walk. Went to the ER and they sent me home because I have Medicaid and with all the testing I've had and told that surgery could help, not a single doctor will help. My saddle is numb as well. The doctors that installed my left total knee incorrectly and has burning for 14 years are the doctors that work for the ER in our town. That facility has denied any problems for every visit as it is workers compensation and WC has sabotaged or denied any hospital in our state to see me.
I had a laminectomy, and L4-5 spinal fusion in 2017. My symptoms had been: not being able to feel my legs and feet from the waist down (intermittently); sometimes not being able to make myself take a step up. I had no pain whatsoever! I saw an ortho doctor in 2015, who said there was nothing he could do. However, in 2017, I lucked out finding the best neurosurgeon in our region who did the surgery and totally took care of the problem. He said that if I had waited any longer, it would have been too late! The MRI showed degenerative arthritis, scoliosis, and congenital narrowing of the spinal canal.
Who is your surgeon, if you don’t my asking!
@@deavilanancy Yes where are you located please
Back in April of 2019 I started having severe back problems between S1-L5, L4-L5, L3-L4. I went through physical therapy for 18 visits and they gave me 24 steroid shots into my spine over the course of 5 appointments. Then Covid hit and seriously delayed anymore treatments. They keep having me try every pain killer and muscle relaxer there was and nothing worked at all. I finally got the insurance company to accept me getting an MRI and after the neurologist got the results he called me up and said he just scheduled me for emergency surgery in 5 days because I was 1 of the worst cases he'd ever seen. So after 2 years of brutal torturous pain I finally got the surgery I needed and have L4-5 fused, the other 2 disc problems were resolved with physical therapy before surgery. My muscles below my shoulders atrophied so bad from laying on the couch for 23 hours a day for the 2 years before the surgery that it took another full year to recover after the surgery. It's now 2 years after the surgery and I'm now about at the strength before the problems started happening. I will still have to be careful about twisting and bending because it will wear out the joints on either side of the fused vertebrae.
Thanks for telling your story.
I went to the ER with cauda equnia syndrome and they sent me home for opioid seeking. Changed the entire course of my life
Terrible how people get treated when the go to ER in severe pain that doesn't have obvious signs. Most people get treated like drug seekers and get blown off. Been there a few times over the years. Doctors need to do better. They got into the career of caring for patients so they need to do better
You need tretment you wil have demage you cant wil pee or make poke
I have lL5 S1 denigrating dis problem n spinal stenosis arthritis n starting to have bowel movement problem like can't sit on toilet stress in my legs ....was advice to do physical therapy to help but that's more painful after a day or so therapy.....which dr to c plzzz advice.
I have a fractured L5 and disc bulge. I got it from power squaring. It is a compression fracture. I went to Urgent care then to ER.
ER visit? Been dealing with this for 15 years with no pain medication or anything but test when can
Been in the pain medication for 10 years and refuse to go that route
What is the cure?
My MRI says I have bilateral neural foraminal stenosis L5 S1 with compression on the left nerve whixh is causing numbness in my left leg. I also have LLD due to my left hip being hiked up. I don't have any disc bulges or degenerative disease. Could the stenosis be caused by the hip hike causing the compression?
Sir where are from and and if you can do treatment without surgery please let me know , i got L4-L5 disc bulge and herniated it's been 9 months suffering
I would blow your mind if u could see my MRI. Every L discs are damaged and my L4 is nonexistent. It been 27 years since my injury, and what I found out in that time is …..
Posture, muscle strengthening, and full articulation of joints is key.
The pain in getting stronger hurts less then the pain in getting weaker.
I was diagnosed with lower lumbar disc bulges in L2 L3 and L4 is fragmented with a piece of that disc in my spinal canal. I can’t stand or sit for any longer than 20 minutes or I’m in pain,I’m on oxycodone for chronic pain but only a low dose which is 15 mg x twice a day. I could end up having to have back surgery to remove the piece of disc from my spinal canal if it starts to move. I’m scheduled to have a MRI soon to see if it has moved since my last x-ray. Chronic back pain is debilitating,it affects everything you do. I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone,it’s horrible.
I am so sorry to hear about this and what you’re going through. I hope you have the best possible outcome.
@@DrWalterSalubro thank you,I hope so too. I really don’t want to have any surgeries if I can avoid it.
Dr. Walter I am suffering with severe pain with the Disc Bulging degenerate and Protrusion disc can you please send me some exercises for help me pain Thank
Hello @carlosfranco3794. I can not give you suggestions because I did not examine you. Check out my many videos with exercise.
Does L-4 and L-5 nerve damage cause prostate problems?
I had severe back pain few months ago and it lasted for 4 weeks. I didn't get my period for a month. Is that considered a major symptom? I didn't have any issue with my period prior to having severe back pain.

Hello. I am sorry to hear this. Best rest for short time is okay but I don't recommend prolonged best rest for my patients. A little movement if tolerable is okay. Speak to your doctor.
I'm 27 and just had to have surgery on L5 because it was severely herniated
Hey how are you now?? Hope you're doing well ❤️🩹

I have most of it, both hips have no ball joints left.................numbness , painful to stand and walking with a walker !! Getting my left hip joint replaced on Nov. 9th................ so??? I dunno the future !!!!
So I was in a serious accident in February. I have a bulge L4and L5. I have continously pain in my lower back and butt area. I get occasional pains in my left left for sure. My right leg is more complicated. I don't know if it hurts from its injury, tendon tears, sprains, and bone marrow edema, or if it's nerve pain from the back. I'm working with a specialist for my ankle currently and will be seeing one for my back soon. I have been having major issues with my cycle since the accident. It causes me tremendous pain and continues to show up later each cycle since the accident. This month is 5 days late. Which is very unlike me. I was very regular prior to this. Being a day late was uncommon for me. I still have the pain that comes from my cycle but no cycle. I am also struggling with constipation of an on. I don't struggle with going pee or holding it so much as I have a uncomfortable feeling while going. I kept wondering at first if I had a UTI; but it wasn't the case. And still isn't. Could this be related to this syndrome? Would it affect my periods in this way? Is it normal that having my cycle makes my back and leg pain 10× worse?
Hello. Sorry for the late reply on this. You are asking a lot of good questions. The nerves of the lumbar spine feed into the pelvic organs and legs. Any one of these organs can be affected with lumbar spine alignment distortions and / or disc bulges. Hopefully things are better now. It is best you get checked by your doctor and also a corrective care chiropractor who can assess your spinal alignment.
Hey how are you now??? Hope you're doing well ❤️🩹
Ive dealt with this since 2018 and at oeast five er visits they are cruel and doctor after doctor snd they all ignored me but i deal with all three

I’m 3 weeks out from my emergency L4 L5 microdeletion surgery. It was an ER visit and went straight from waiting room to operating room. I couldn’t use my left leg, it was extremely swollen, numb and weak. The doctors were also very worried about permanent issues for the leg, the bowels and bladder. It felt like a bullet going in my lower back going down left leg only.
Did surgery help please
Wow this is very depressing. I have herniated discs
I had L4 L5 fusion several years ago. Now I am having trouble with L5 S1. I’m heavy so doctor said I need to loose weight before this surgery. He said he has to go through my stomach to do something then turn me over to do the fusion. I was wandering why they have to go through my stomach. Could you please help me understand this. Thank you.

Hello Shravani Jasthi. I can not give you suggestions because I did not examine you.
Doc. what machine use for test of emg ncv. MRI or electromyography ?
Hello. I don’t use these machines.
@@DrWalterSalubro thanks you.
I'm in the US and our health care stinks. I was diagnosed with DDD almost 4 years ago in my entire spine. 3years ago I was having some upper thoracic pain and I nobody took me seriously. Fast forward to last year(2022). Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at L4 L5 and degeneration. Saw a neurosurgeon in July. Did 5 weeks of PT and was told fusion surgery when I quit smoking. I couldn't afford to take the time off of work so I continued smoking. Feb this year, pain was getting worse. Had an MRI and had 2 herniations at L2 L3 and L3 L4. uncovered disc at L4 L5 but only mild compression. By Oct I had bilateral sciatica with intense numbing from the waist down and I can't move my legs till it eases up. I also noticed I was having saddle anesthesia and some bowel leakage. I've been to 3 Emergency Rooms and my Primary Care DR. I've had 1 MRI and ! CT. They both still say mild compression and nobody is concerned about the saddle anesthesia. I do have mild thecal sac indentation at the T11 T12 and the T12 L1. I just wish somebody cared about my quality of life. I've had to stop working(added stress, so still smoking), and I very rarely leave my house. I am in so much pain just making a pbj sandwich. I have not even been sent to pain management. I'm taking OTC BC powders arthritis strength. And they just ain't working.
Maybe it’s in your neck.
Thanks, Dr i had ADR L4-S1 with spacer, after 2 months , im i acute pain in my both legs and my feet are numb from time to time.
Thank you
