I am 2 weeks and 2 days out from microdiscectomy. The pain relief and absence of numbness is amazing. Surgery at the Birmingham spine neuro center. Still uncomfortable from the incision area but wish I had the surgery months ago. Thankful for the technology and medical expertise of the physician.
I’m about to have one in 5 days and am terrified but the pain I’m experiencing in my lumbar is mind breaking . Did the alleviation of sciatic pain outweigh the incision / surgical pain.
Yes! It was a noticeable difference. The pain will be in the surgical area instead of the leg. Saw my surgeon yesterday for follow up. He said to begin stretches and if I continued to improve, he would release me after the next visit in 4 weeks. Wish that I had had the surgery earlier. Truly getting my life back. I hope your surgery goes well.

Thank you for your recommendations. I am just wondering, how much will the two surgeries cost in USD for a patient who is coming from Africa? And in typical cases, how does an overseas patient acquire the accommodation for the processes etc? I am of no knowledge on the logistics and recommendations.
@@vinodchhiller724 Thank you my brother. Can you recommend a few who can help me? I am in serious pain my bro and in need to medical intervention to get relief. Any information can help.
Hi this is my MRI results I just saw my doctor he said to get the The Surgical Procedure is : THORACO-LUMBAR laminectomy discectomy for L5-S1. Question is if I have two herniated disks why he only doing one? He said my herniated got bigger compared to my first mri from Last year. I also already had 3 injections n therapy so now that’s why he suggested surgery. Been in that problem since January L4-5. there is a small left foraminal disc protrusion superimposed upon a diffuse disc annular bulge with mild facet arthropathy and endplate spurring. Mild left foraminal narrowing results. The central canal nda right neural foramen appear patent. AtL5-SI, hetr isa small left paracentral/left foraminal disc protrusion and annular tear superimposed upon adiffuse disc annular bulge with mild facet arthropathy and endplate spurring. dMli inferior left foraminal narrowing results. The central canal and right neural foramen appear widely patent. Thank you.
Hello, is it expected to have occassional pinching on the glutes after movement and calf tightness. Im ongoing 4 wks post laminectony with discectomy of L5-S1. Thanks
Sir, one of my queries regarding endoscopic Lumbar surgery is that, after the herniated portion of the nucleus pulposus is removed and the never gets decompressed, HOW DOES THE CRACK OF ANNULUS FIBRIOSUS heals since there was a crack and a passage of the nucleus. Won't it be left cut open ? Or any external coagulant is added?
Hey doctor my father has undergone laminectomy for disc rupture at l4/l5. His symptoms has improved. But he still have intermittent lateral malleolus pain. His post op day is 5
They take out the lamina or top bone to relive the pressure bit that can also cause a needed fusion later on due to a lack of support so utilize other options.
yes. If you have bowel and urine problem with sciatica, you will need to have emergency surgery. Its called cauda equina syndrome. If not treated urgently, the problem will be permanent. loss of bladder and bowel control can be permanent and other issues like paralysis, sexual dysfunction can happen

Never heals completely. Its avascular.
What are your reservations on Endoscopic Discectomy? Not having to go through bone or muscle? Less damage you would think?
Hoping for your answer doc
Are u have still problem
