Dr Shim, thank you so much for your video. Your mannerism is so calming, your clarity of words and images have reassured me, greatly. I'm due to have this surgery in the next month here in the UK. Again, I appreciate your personable approach...
Im curios to see how did it go? Hope you have some good news for us
Every time I read something about a new technique it's about the lumbar spine.
Why is there never anything to fix the cervical spine? Is that just because of the smaller size? Higher risk?
Prestige Artificial Disc Replacement! ❤🎉❤🎉❤ #HUGEFAN #TRUEBELIEVER #LIFECHANGING #KEEPYOURRANGEOFMOTION #GODBLESSYOU🙏🏽
I had this surgery in 2017 and I'm still in lots of pain then after the coflex I got a stimulator and I'm still in pain pills the only way I can get relief
Very interesting! Thanks for the video!
Getting this surgery in two days I'm so nervous lol I hope it helps me long term , I'm desperate to get use of my legs back :)
Hi how did it go? If you don’t mind me asking I go next week
@@gracev7925 it got cancelled until today I'm having it in 4 hours x
@@NicolleDrummer sorry just saw this, how did it go how you feeling???
@@gracev7925 Hello I just got home , had it yesterday was an absolute success !! I had very weak painful sharp pains in both legs and unable to walk , I went a walk today , didn't need assistance and didn't stop once , really is a miracle I felt great straight away although my back is pretty painful but no worse than my pre op pain x
@@NicolleDrummerhow are you today?
Won't removing the ligament severely destabilize the spine or willl the device do that job well enough?
How many levels are allowed with Coflex? My current spine doctor wants to do a three level fusion, which I am not going to do unless I absolutely have to.
I have a 2 level Prestige Artificial Disc Replacement C4-5/C5-6 (WHICH HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL!), & am looking for a solution for stabilization @ L5/S1 as I have hEDS on top of degenerative discs (@38 y/o... & It's painfully exhausting 😩😂). But, this just looks a bit scary in that the support is dedicated solely to the area of the spinus process. What happens when multiple discs become severely worn & the spine loses curve @ 5%, 20%, or greater? I'd be leaning the opposite way, straining each device. 😮😮 😳 😮😮😳 Either way, medical technology is truly amazing! 🎉
looks good for facet to facet application......how does it help with facet to sacrum appllication at L5/S1 joint?
Depends on your anatomy. Some patients can accommodate the coflex procedure, while others, because of their L5-S1 configuration cannot.
@@ShimSpineVideos Hi Dr Shim. I have grade 1 Spondylolisthesis at L5/S1. Could this procedure still work for me? Thank you
@@ShimSpineVideoscan you elaborate? This answer is vague & I have, fairly, the same question. Thank you. 🙏🏽
I had that put in my back in 2016 up on the top of the lower back right before the top of the back lol I guess it's one and two I don't know but and now I'm in serious pain I'm walking hunchback would it cause that I had bone degenerative too and and my spine is curved and I had all the lower back has been caged
Is this procedure still being done???
@WesPhly where at?
Where I came back told Mama was paying him and I can barely walk down the street and he said he go to therapy I'm like I want to MRI before I go to therapy to make sure everything's all right but he only did an x-ray you can't really see that or see if it's causing any damage to the bone degenerate degenerous degenerating whatever lol sorry I'm just tired of not having a lie from all this pain and I've had three back surgeries and never had any pain until now so let me know I would appreciate the response and I'm in Massachusetts so if you know of anybody I can go to I appreciate it cuz I'm going to get somebody else to help and fix what he did or undo it or taking MRI at least I'm going over therapist and getting an MRI but it's going to take me three visits
