I suffered for 3 years with severe pain and loss of instant mobility. I was afraid of back surgery but had no choice. The pain took over my life. in 2011, I had my L5-S1 fused along with a disc implant. Just like in the video. Although, to minimize scar tissue in my back, my surgeon went thru the front and the incision was done on lower abdomen. I was walking a climbing stairs within 2 days. NO back or sciatic pains at all. After several months, to be safe, I was golfing and doing light jogging. Thankful for the procedure, my surgeons, and modern medicine. I got my life back.
I’m happy I’m finally cured from Shingles virus the blisters with the help of Doctor Ani John herbal medicine who I came across here on UA-cam I after using the herbal medicine within 13days My test result turned negative.. you saved my live doctor my God bless you always for your kind gesture for saving my life, am grateful sir🙏,,
And what about the pain after the surgery? How was it? Did you leave the hospital the same day? How you spend the night? Sorry I'm about to have the same surgery and I'm very scare u.u
@@poky1 When I woke up from recovery and the anesthesia wore off, the pain in the back was gone! At that point I smiled at my wife and said I haven't felt this good in years. We were ecstatic. They kept me for 2 full days to ensure there was no infection or issues and for me to start the therapy. After the 1st night, I was getting out of bed on my own and walking to the bathroom. And therapy started. Which I passed with no problem. The only pain I had was in my lower stomach from where the incision was made. Good luck to you. It's a breeze. Let me know how it goes.
Hello glad to hear your success. I also having L5 s1 lumber Disc collapsed, my doctor suggested me doing lumbar fusion surgery, will it better to do? After surgery can i work, exercise, riding? Please any suggest ?🙏🙏🙏
@M.E.I lol after the second comment, I should have said, oops on second thought. Because since then, I've been down due to the pain. So think I'm going to take a better look at it all. At 61 with something this debilitating, isn't something I want if Im lucky enough to get to my goal of 102+ yrs old. Good luck.
My grandfather passed away 89 years old, when he was 20 years old he hurt his back. the doctor's told him that he would never walk again and he would be crippled in a wheelchair for life .He said screw that,started doing workouts and exercises, he walked his entire life, went to the gym everyday until he was 87 and got a real good workout when he did.
People wt real serious spine issues cannot go to the yim .can't lift heavy things can't bend can't run ,some people confused muscle aches wt lumber disc herniations the facts here
I got a full spinal fusion when I was 15. I had severe scoliosis (75 degrees if I remember correctly), and the doctors said I would be at a 90 degree angle by the time I was 20 if I didn't get this surgery. It was the most painful thing I've been through to this day. I was stuck in bed for about a month, post op depression was a bitch, and my parents had to sleep in shifts because I had to take pain meds every few hours 24/7. Although it was a rough recovery, it was the best decision I made. I can now fully walk and run just fine. The only thing is that I can't bend my spine (obviously) but that's not too bad. My back pain has gotten SO much better too. Anyone who's scared to get this surgery, don't worry! It's okay to be scared, normal even. But everything will be okay in the end and you'll be glad you did it :)
How much of your spine was fused? My daughter needs spine surgery in a month and they want to go straight to the pelvis. She has osteogenesis imperfecta and a part of me doesn't want to do the pelvis so she can still be able to have partial ability to walk
@@missduckieee mine was everything but the lumbar, so like 3/4 of it is fused. So I don't have any experience with the lower side being fused. I wouldn't worry about not being able to walk. It takes a while, but with enough healing and physical therapy she should be okay. I understand your worries though, but I believe that it'll be worth it in the long run
On October 21st this year I had my entire lumber spine fused. I'm 8 weeks out now and have zero pain, other than pulled muscles from PT. I saw the surgeon yesterday and , after looking at some new x-rays, I can start a return to normal which should include skiing in early spring. I'm 67 and had 5 surgeries prior to this starting in 1998. I'm super happy and hope that this one is the end. Fingers crossed! .
I'm having this done tomorrow. A week from my 67th birthday. I hope it would be an early present. I'm nervous but confident. A bit more confident now, after reading your comment. Thank you and I hope you will continue to improve.
Had this procedure a long time ago. Haven’t looked back since (no pun intended). After years of debilitating pain and immobility I’m now walking, running, scuba diving and enjoying life again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this op.
......Anyone who's facing cervical pain or lumbar pain caused by a compressed disk should contact Dr. Seth Williams UW Madison Wisconsin. The man is absolutely brilliant. Period.
Had spinal fusion back in the 80s no metal just bone taken from my hip, best thing i ever did, went from 275 to 145 pounds and became a triathlete riding 100 miles a day and oceanwater swimming 🏊♂️ 5 miles. Do it, painkillers and depression are a downward spiral that not many survive. 🙏👍✌
I believe you have metal. That holds things in place until the true fusion occurs when the harvested bone forms a solid bond. The bone from your hip is ground up and mixed with some shit to help it grow. It is placed around the vertebrae and in time will become a solid bony connection.
@@fabyramirez2595 dont be scared. It will help to serve you better in the long run. The modern neurosurgical and orthopedic surgical teams are forces to be reckoned with.
@@yaishmatheen4274 hello 👋 what kind of surgery do you get done??? I’m on need of surgery since can’t walk normal and I need some info doctor told me I got bulgin disc l4-l5... thank you hope you feel better
I'm not a professional, but i consider myself educated on back pain. I have had C6/7 fusion, as the disc was totally destroyed, my entire left arm went numb, and my bicep/tricep/pectoral muscles all atrophied to waste. That surgery has helped me tremendously, but it was a last resort only after the disc completely started pressing on the nerve. I have 6 other herniated discs, degeneration & severe stenosis. My lumbar discs are really bad, and ive been a "candidate" for surgery for years. I have successfully avoided surgery, and my pain is now quite .manageable. I eat healthy, i exercise,im 52 with a 30 inch wasteline, i use an inverted bench, a spinal decompression bench,hot epsom salt baths, and a heating pad. For pain, i take Kratom and turmeric/bosweillia.I still go through periods of pain that feels like an icepick in my back, numbness/tingling down my leg, and my sciatic nerve twitching and feeling like a hot rubber band in my butt cheek. But its manageable now. Maybe it will help others, im not sure. Definitely helped me. Good luck all my pain companions!
such interventions in to the human body point to the level of consciousness of society ... there are other ways (natural to human body) to handle cases like this satinama.simdif.com/index.html ... they sound not possible but again it's only the quality of believe which depends on level of consciousness. energy - vibration - frequency, that is the key, human body was not designed for surgeries nor for technology interacting. you are welcome
I had this surgery 4 months ago and I feel great ! With the right surgeon and physical therapist! Never give up and fight through the recovery pain and push yourself everyday to walk and move to wake those muscles up
Hello Hello, I have the back pain coursing with L5-S1 , and I do psycholotherapi or theeni and the pain can not reduced and it's coursed the sciatic never, for sure in Rwanda we need surgical Dr. Of that case.
@@jinkazama4092 Nothing has changed. Still have the same range and mobility I had before the accident. I fell off a water tank and landed with all my weight on the left leg. It broke the facet joint and rammed the vertebrata into the spinal cord. I had surgery just days after the accident. Dr Gruber in Spokane, Wa. did the surgery.
Я понимаю, что в ветке одни врачи. Но хочу сказать за себя. Когда у меня произошло защемление в связи с протрузией. Я, сделав МРТ, обратился к к мануальшику. Правая нога отказывала, спать не мог, по задней части правой ноги, как буд-то нитку натянули. Это ощушения. 3 дня не мог спать, от слова вообще. После посешения мануальшика, 5 приемов, и приема препората Дона, больше 7 лет проблем такого характера не возникало. Сначало меня вытянул, затем заставил пояс носить, и пропить курс препарата, который восстанавливает . Желаю всем крепкого здоровья.
Дмитрий как вы правы-у меня тоже правая нога!Не могу наступить на нее,по ночам не сплю от боли!В считанные дни превратилась в инвалида!Мне повезло меньше:я живу в селе,имею хозяйство(две коровы,телята).А мужика нет,хозяйство на мне,да ещё мама которой 83года!Возможности поехать в город пока нет,уже руки опускаются не знаю что делать? Ходила к врачам:прокололи уколы систему,витамины-я как хромала,так и хромаю,боли не прошли!😔
@@samsunf4141 Я вам сочувствую, сам прошел через это. Уколы, это только обезболивающее, которое не решает проблемы. Я не знаю как у вас с опытными мануальщиками, попробуйте корсет, и Дона. Вдруг поможет. А вообще, конечно, лучше обратиться к специалисту
@@samsunf4141 Это порошек, который растворяют в воде и пьют. Он , как говорят, восстанавливает хрящевую ткань между дисками . Стоил на тот момент 1200 р. за упаковку, входило 30 пакетов. Один пакет смеси на день. Такой у меня был рецепт. Вам, все таки, желаю обратится к специалисту. Не берите на себя такую ответственность,как диагноз. Пусть спецы разберуться. Желаю вам выздороветь.
I have a l4-L5 fusion with a cage. Going on 20 years now. But I had a traumatic injury with a shattered vertebrae. Without the fusion and cage…. I’d have been a vegetable. Wouldn’t even have been able to sit up. In all honesty, it was a godsend. Still have pain but I’m now walking. Kind of walking. I have bilateral foot drop so nothings perfect. But better than the alternative.
DO NOT let a neurosurgeon do a lower lumbar fusion unless you have exhausted every single option. I am a long distance runner and had a neurosurgeon tell I would never be able to run again without this operation. I got another opinion from another doctor who told me to not run for 6-8 months and see how it goes. I took my MRI to a chiropractor and he said he can fix my herniated disk in 3 sessions. He did exactly that. Less than 3 months later I ran a half marathon with no pain. The neurosurgeon would have ruined my back for a lifetime.
I had to have this done at L4-L5 AND L5-S1. That was 4 years ago. I now have adhesive arachnoiditis at L4 (nerve clumping and scar tissue from nerve inflammation) and an in SCREAMING PAIN but hold it inside and just cry. I want my life back but fear it is over. I am only 55 years old.
@@johnnyloo4985 Sadly, nothing can be offered according to my neurosurgeon due to the adhesive arachnoiditis, as further surgical treatment will only exacerbate that condition. I have read that ADULT STEM CELL THERAPY is being touted as an effective treatment, but it is very expensive. Thank you for asking, though. Are you suffering from this condition?
@@rafaelborbacs I used to be able to walk 2 miles for cardio exercise, but not for the past year since it's (nerve clumping) gotten so much worse. Also, any form of stretching in my spine aggravates the nerves -- although it FEELS GREAT while doing it, but I pay in spades for days later. Water therapy is best.
I had done exactly what the video shows, I injured my back when I was 14 years old and suffered from pain 30 long years, finally got the surgery done and the results are fantastic the pain it's about 95% gone and sometimes no pain at all, right now I am on my 5th month recovery, thank god and LASER SPINE INSTITUTE in PHOENIX Arizona and my wife that took care of me
Jaime Herrera I’m going to do mine this Friday on the 28th.i did the L-4 L-5 5yrs ago until I got into a rear ended at 45mph we’ll me and the wife was a stand still.the doc said it’s 4months for recovery.
Not in my case. Of course every case is different. I had broken lamina bouncing off of my syatic and spondylolisthesis letting the vertibrae move too much. I'm able to lift again and my left leg works better. I'm also guessing the worse off didn't try to modify their own body mechanics. You do have to rehab right and listen to the experts.
Screw placement is everything! Screws need to go in at a diagonal angle to avoid the screw heads from piercing your joints!!! My screws were out in wrong and they fully pierced my joints. It took a year before they could take the screws out. I’m human again!! Make sure you have a surgeon who understands screw placement and avoid this surgery if you can!
I had to have L1 L2 L3 all fused due to a fall off a roof on the job . My Dr. Did the normal fusion procedure rods/ lag screws /brackets and smaller bolts/screws Which keeps the spine from moving in those areas and does not move . Why hasn't someone invented engineered a fusion that keeps the damaged vertebrae intact but still allows the spine to move like it normally would ! Spinal fusion does not feel good and one that still moves in all directions sure as hell does
Yeah artificial disc replacement is the video they showed me that was "so called similar" to procedure i was about to get when they handed me disclaimer tablet. That probably wouldve helped.
I won't lie that looks like a hack job if I ever seen one. You literally have a vertebrae removed and replaced with a couple of screws. Has anyone had this done and what's the quality of life like afterwards?
i had a disc removed and it freed up a bunch of pinched nerves. then a small "cage" filled with cadaver material replaced the disc to fuse with my bone. i had a couple rods and screws like shown here too and its given me my life back. i had incredible pain before for years that nothing helped. im so glad i had the surgery. im walking and doing most everything i did before. obviously being careful not to fall but i have my life back and im so grateful.
@@Siva_Talk im not going to tell location or other info thats too personal online but i will share that im in new york. find a surgeon you trust and feel confident about and ask questions, talk about concerns. a good surgeon won't rush you or ignore your concerns. ask how long theyve been a surgeon or how many theyve done, find out info about the surgery and recovery, talk about options you may have. discuss healing time, pain management or whatever else you wanna know. when recovering do your best and dont overdo it. good luck. you can do it. remember the recovery or surgery experience is not the same as other ppl, everyone heals different or has different pain tolerance etc so dont compare yours with other ppl, focus on you and do what you feel is best. good luck.
I had back pain for 25 years, you know what fixed me? I stopped cracking my back, stopped eating suger as much as possible, elliptical machine every day for 15 min. Alternating leg lifts in prone position. L4 L5 healed 🙏
@@urisco1344 you understood "sugar" right? That's the purpose of languages. Not everyone is fluent in English so respect that and if you want to pick out mistakes then do it respectfully
Need spine surgery in this area. One of them, anyway. SUGAR absolutely DOES affect my pain levels. Not just in my back. Have vascular issues, as well. Affects ALL my pain, EVERYWHERE! SUGAR IS POISON!!! There are several documentaries, here on yt, about. Look it up!! SUGAR BAAAAD!!! Here's one. Is long, but detailed. There are many more. ua-cam.com/video/dBnniua6-oM/v-deo.html
The body will often reabsorb some of the protruding disc over time & pain+cramps will often greatly diminish. I went natural & the situation gradually improved over 2 years. I would recommend isometric exercises (buttocks, thighs, tummy scrunches) lying immobile on side if you have much pain to strengthen the lower back and hips which helps alot. Simple walking is great if you can. It can build strength, stamina & flexibility alone (40 min 3x per week as a goal you can build up to. Don't bother with other exercises except maybe swimming, avoid any heavy weights) Also, very important to lose weight if you are overweight to lessen stress on spine, eat nutritious food ie. low carb/fresh diet.
A workout buddy of mine had lumbar fusion back in 1999. He said he couldn't do much movement. He got if because of heavy lifting, he was a big guy. Back in the day I never wore a weightlifting belt even when I did heavy weights. I paid the price with a herniated disc in lumbar region. When it occurred I couldn't do shit for a week, just take Doans back pill. I just stretched it out well and avoided heavy deadlifts, no belt still. Having lumbar fusion is the one thing I do not want; the thought of restricted mobility just lingers in my head.
I had low back pain and found a back rehab facility. I lifted weights and used a special weight machine for the lower back. By lifting weights and making the muscles, tendons and ligaments stronger, my back pain went away. That was 10 years ago and I still lift weights to make my back stronger. I would never chose elective back surgery and have someone messing around near my spinal cord!
@@SuleyDina only if you are in EXCRUCIATING pain every day should you consider it. And I mean like crying your eyes out want to kill yourself pain. Or else your going to end up in a worse position...I promise you don't do it...just trying to protect people from my mistake...
All great if it takes and holds , chances are your going to have future implications from this surgery. I would rather stay in pain and leave my spine alone. Serious buisness to do this to a body. No thank you. I live with serious sciatica and pain is only pain. Get used to it.
Eddie Spaghetti, I endured sciatica for 12 years in my right leg. It would take me 10 to 15 minutes just to get out of bed in the morning. Then one day I had another surprise. Sciatica down both legs at once and down I went. I had L5 and S1 fused about 4 years ago (the surgeon went through my abdomen and put a plate on the front of my spine). Two and half hours after my surgery I walked about an eighth of mile with no pain. I still walk without pain. There is no limitation to my movement either. I would do the surgery again in a heartbeat.
I had a 3 level laminectomy but it wasn't enough, so now they need to do a fusion of l4/l5 & l5/s1. I'm scared, but my quality of life right now is terrible
Update: in November 2022 I underwent my 6th bout of spinal surgery. I had decompression of right and left nerve roots at levels L1/L2 and L2/L3. Now 100% pain free after 1 year of agony. Root cause of my problems is spinal stenosis.

I had these done to me but my L5 was so bad they had to complete remove the disc. My life was never the same in my case and now I have to have another surgery on the L1...
Told me 50/50 on it helping but i was already in so much damn pain. I took the chance know im 39 and 70 year father has better mobility than i do and i can no longer swing a golf club. Dont go with surgery unless its a vital organ.

I had this done... 10 1/2 inch rods from my pelvic to thoracic! Fixed nothing... constant pain, legs numb, hips hurt constant... but my back is straight! They wanted to do my neck but after my second major back surgery... ill suffer my neck! Awesome video...
sounds like you needed a lamnectomy and decompression at the same time as the fusion. thats what i had done. its where they remove a disc to free up pinched nerves. i had severe pain down my whole right side for years. nothing helped. i tried steroid injections,radiofrequency,spinal chord stimulator etc. the spinal fusion plus lamnectomy freed up the nerves and gave me my life back.
That is a very sweet thought,God gives us a sound body and u have to remember in the U.S. obesity and alcohol are the two things that are killing our peopleGod allows us to either take care of not take of our short live human body,even He can't MAKE us to it.Thank you for thinking and praying for our world we have a wonderful world,u enjoy it as long as u are here,and pray for all of to stay strong in doing Gods will, people in charge are listening to anyone But HIM.HAVE A WONDERFULL LIFE.
I’ve got spondylothesis with grade 3 slippage of L4. I’ve lived with sciatica for 25 years. Some days better than others, some days no pain, some days the tears roll down my face from intractable nerve pain that feels like a steel spike stuck in between my spine coming out my back side. I don’t take any pain meds, just adjust my activity or hang upside down. They can keep their back surgery techniques. I’ve seen too many as a med/surg floor nurse end up paraplegics from botched back surgeries and they still had pain. So glad to be retired now.

In general my fused area went through a lot bc a nerve kept getting active but after countless mri s they could never find the cause, so with time I just learned to live with it. No more extreme pain to the point I was unable to function apart from a few days a year on which I try to rest as much as possible and take some meds. Oh and my fusion area was L1-L4. But then, I had a herniated disc on L5-S1 for which I got a microdiscectomy a month ago and I am pretty sure it blew again. Tried to avoid a second fusion especially bc I dont want to lose my mobility but seems ike that will be the only option for me soon :) still trying to be positive and will consider a 2nd microdiscectomy first but lets see
This works for some people, not for others. Many variabele factors involved. If you are considering spinal surgery, opt for a neuro surgeon rather than an orthopedic surgeon.
@@ToThoseWhoVanished as far as I know, spinal (bone) TB, if not in a too-advanced stage, can be treated and cured with multiple drug therapy, usually over a long period of time. However, it the condition has resulted in serious deformity with the risk of paralysis, corrective surgery might be necessary (after which drug therapy continues). I'd prefer a neuro surgeon to work on the spine, but the final choice can be subject to several factors, such as medical aid cover, availability in one's region, urgency of the procedure. So very sorry for (your?) troubles. With my very best wishes.
This is so shockingly gross. Even worse the fact that 90pct ++ of this patients would have been relieved by improving their muscles. But that would not have paid a surgeon
Передний межтеловой спондилодез мне поставили в 1989 г., с заходом через живот убрали 3 диска и скрепили позвонки моей же костью с левого бедра. До сих пор чувствую себя прекрасно, спина не болит уже 32 года.
I can guarantee you pray very hard to Jesus Christ you will be healed just like I was.No operation needed.I went thru hell for 2 years the pain will never go UNTIL ONE DAY use your Faith .IT WORKS MIRACLESSS.😀😀😀😀
@@lauravargas510 Too many complications. Fusions just lead to more fusions. High risk of nerve damage, etc. I think it's the type of surgery that has the most complications.
I had this exact surgery on my L5-S1. Worse decision of my life. A regret I have to live with for the rest of my life. (I was 36 years old) Told my family the person they knew never left the hospital. My life ended on that operating table.
glitchez yes, I woke up in the hospital bed in pain I never knew existed. And that pain never left. I was told the “surgical pain” could take 6 months to pass. In never did. I ended up on a 7 day psych hold once the pain broke me. It (the pain) cost me my job, marriage, friends...etc. due to various reasons. Dr’s will no longer treat me bc I fall outside their parameters of “treatable.” I no longer take pain medication bc... no dr’s. I manage now with herbal remedies like Kratom, ice packs & heating pads and Cymbalta for nerve damage. I’m now only 42. Looking back, my life would have been manageable if I never had the fusion. I still have 2 more herniated disks in the thoracic spine but that’s another story. I went to a different surgeon 2 years after the fusion and he confirmed the surgery was done correctly. I was just the 1 out of 10 that had “failed back surgery syndrome” Moral of the story: unless your life is completely over, and I’m talking over over.....It shouldn’t even be a consideration. PS. The herb Kratom is the only reason I am even able to get out of bed. Drs don’t want to talk about it bc big pharma doesn’t make $ off it.
@Michigan fan I'm sorry to hear about your awful experience, but you have definitely changed my mind about having the surgery. Thanks for sharing and I will seek the options you've mentioned.
ElMuxaxo thank god I'm really happy to see your msg I hope you well and enjoying good health the same issues me couple of years can you please tell me how much it will be cost ?
That is lovely to hear. I do have one question though. I've heard of many people gaining height from this surgery and other spinal surgerys. It is truly possible? Because honestly I would absolutely love to undergo this procedure simply for cosmetic reasons. If you do gain any height at all, how much? I thought I'd take up the opportunity to ask someone with experience. If you would reply it would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much!!
I had this surgery type on my L1 and L3 yesterday and I walked today for first time. It's incredible. Can't thank enough to the team behind inventing such extraordinary procedures
I have had this procedure done about 12 years ago but I also had a slippage of 25,% and severe scoliosis of 40° in total I had 4 procedures and full double rods. I can walk. I do live with pain still. But my neurosurgeon is the best.
OMG! This looks horrific. I have been told by 2 specialists I need to have this done on my L4 L5. I'm not liking the look of this one bit. Is there anything else that can be done that anyone knows of? Thanks
I might have to do this. I have a totally collapsed L5 disc. I’m getting an MRI Tuesday. If I can avoid fusion and go with TDR, sign me up! Been in miserable pain for over a month now...
@@txnhb I had my spine fused due to bad discs (l5 s1) about 2 and a half months ago. First 2-3 weeks were the hardest in terms of mobility but so far I’ve been pain free. I’m still healing and limited still but I feel so much better than I did before the surgery
GOD blessed me with a Angel team I was in a body cast on a Angle table couldn't walk , now healed I've been walking with a cane now for a year but no pain, Hallelujah thank you Great Spirit

I can tell by your words that you dont suffer from the issues I do. I can barely work and im only 29. Im in constant pain. As soon as I get home I have to lay down. I cant do the things I use to. Im considering this surgery.
@@GuyFromTheSouth that sucks :( My dad had similar surgery. I was 4, now 28. He complains and says his fingers have started to feel numb. :( his back also makes a cracking sound . Like the top bone is worn off. I wish I would of adviced him not to get surgery. I also went to school for surgercal tech. Once your body is operated on it's never the same. Especially with these types of procedures. :,( Bless your heart I know what you must be going through.
I had the surgery done in 2006 and the bones where soft so the screws pulled out so in 2007 he had to go back in put larger screws, i have the old screws
Had this done a little over two months ago, after suffering almost two years. PT didn’t help. I had steroid injections which, at the best, only lasted a week. I was sick of it. I finally decided to have surgery. Yes!! Something worked!
My neurosurgeon recommend to me the surgery too but I can't get that for another year,,my only help to push until then are using steroids. Would you please help me with some tips of how to deal with pain and steroids?

I was in a work accident in 2007 that nearly killed me. As a result, I had severe injuries to my spine in lower back and neck. I need a spinal fusion in both places. But am nervous to do either one. I could really use some words of encouragement. As I have had over a dozen surgeries to this day, due to injuries from my accident. And other health issues. But my last surgery about a month ago I almost didn’t wake up. They kept me an extra day and a half in the hospital. Due to my bad oxygen levels. Each surgery it gets harder and harder to wake me up. I am near not being able to walk, due to my back. But I am afraid I won’t wake up…. I don’t know what to do… 😔😔😔
I suffered for 3 years with severe pain and loss of instant mobility. I was afraid of back surgery but had no choice. The pain took over my life. in 2011, I had my L5-S1 fused along with a disc implant. Just like in the video. Although, to minimize scar tissue in my back, my surgeon went thru the front and the incision was done on lower abdomen. I was walking a climbing stairs within 2 days. NO back or sciatic pains at all. After several months, to be safe, I was golfing and doing light jogging. Thankful for the procedure, my surgeons, and modern medicine. I got my life back.
I’m happy I’m finally cured from Shingles virus the blisters with the help of Doctor Ani John herbal medicine who I came across here on UA-cam I after using the herbal medicine within 13days My test result turned negative.. you saved my live doctor my God bless you always for your kind gesture for saving my life, am grateful sir🙏,,
And what about the pain after the surgery? How was it? Did you leave the hospital the same day? How you spend the night? Sorry I'm about to have the same surgery and I'm very scare u.u
@@poky1 When I woke up from recovery and the anesthesia wore off, the pain in the back was gone! At that point I smiled at my wife and said I haven't felt this good in years. We were ecstatic. They kept me for 2 full days to ensure there was no infection or issues and for me to start the therapy.
After the 1st night, I was getting out of bed on my own and walking to the bathroom. And therapy started. Which I passed with no problem. The only pain I had was in my lower stomach from where the incision was made.
Good luck to you. It's a breeze. Let me know how it goes.
Who's the doctor
Hello glad to hear your success. I also having L5 s1 lumber Disc collapsed, my doctor suggested me doing lumbar fusion surgery, will it better to do?
After surgery can i work, exercise, riding? Please any suggest ?🙏🙏🙏
After watching this, I believe my back pain is doable.
OMG - I am thinking the same thing now!!
@M.E.I lol after the second comment, I should have said, oops on second thought. Because since then, I've been down due to the pain. So think I'm going to take a better look at it all. At 61 with something this debilitating, isn't something I want if Im lucky enough to get to my goal of 102+ yrs old. Good luck.

No Bob, I've had 4 ops to fix my back and never felt better. Sciatica is agony.
My grandfather passed away 89 years old, when he was 20 years old he hurt his back. the doctor's told him that he would never walk again and he would be crippled in a wheelchair for life .He said screw that,started doing workouts and exercises, he walked his entire life, went to the gym everyday until he was 87 and got a real good workout when he did.
People wt real serious spine issues cannot go to the yim .can't lift heavy things can't bend can't run ,some people confused muscle aches wt lumber disc herniations the facts here
Did he have fusion surgery???
This is the answer
I got a full spinal fusion when I was 15. I had severe scoliosis (75 degrees if I remember correctly), and the doctors said I would be at a 90 degree angle by the time I was 20 if I didn't get this surgery. It was the most painful thing I've been through to this day. I was stuck in bed for about a month, post op depression was a bitch, and my parents had to sleep in shifts because I had to take pain meds every few hours 24/7.
Although it was a rough recovery, it was the best decision I made. I can now fully walk and run just fine. The only thing is that I can't bend my spine (obviously) but that's not too bad. My back pain has gotten SO much better too.
Anyone who's scared to get this surgery, don't worry! It's okay to be scared, normal even. But everything will be okay in the end and you'll be glad you did it :)
Sir total kitna cost lag jayega
How much of your spine was fused? My daughter needs spine surgery in a month and they want to go straight to the pelvis. She has osteogenesis imperfecta and a part of me doesn't want to do the pelvis so she can still be able to have partial ability to walk
@@missduckieee mine was everything but the lumbar, so like 3/4 of it is fused. So I don't have any experience with the lower side being fused.
I wouldn't worry about not being able to walk. It takes a while, but with enough healing and physical therapy she should be okay. I understand your worries though, but I believe that it'll be worth it in the long run
Thank you for your reply ❤️. I'm gonna weigh the risks and benefits for her and make the best decision I possibly can.
@@missduckieee good luck!
On October 21st this year I had my entire lumber spine fused. I'm 8 weeks out now and have zero pain, other than pulled muscles from PT. I saw the surgeon yesterday and , after looking at some new x-rays, I can start a return to normal which should include skiing in early spring.
I'm 67 and had 5 surgeries prior to this starting in 1998. I'm super happy and hope that this one is the end. Fingers crossed!

I'm having this done tomorrow. A week from my 67th birthday. I hope it would be an early present. I'm nervous but confident. A bit more confident now, after reading your comment. Thank you and I hope you will continue to improve.
Well after watching the procedure I would say it's probably is your last surgical chance since they took you properties
Had this procedure a long time ago. Haven’t looked back since (no pun intended). After years of debilitating pain and immobility I’m now walking, running, scuba diving and enjoying life again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this op.

Had spinal fusion back in the 80s no metal just bone taken from my hip, best thing i ever did, went from 275 to 145 pounds and became a triathlete riding 100 miles a day and oceanwater swimming 🏊♂️ 5 miles. Do it, painkillers and depression are a downward spiral that not many survive. 🙏👍✌
This gives me hope. I have metal in my back now and they will delete the metal in December
I believe you have metal. That holds things in place until the true fusion occurs when the harvested bone forms a solid bond. The bone from your hip is ground up and mixed with some shit to help it grow. It is placed around the vertebrae and in time will become a solid bony connection.
Just had mine done six weeks ago and glad I had it done.

Can you lift heavy or walk?
I'm not a professional, but i consider myself educated on back pain. I have had C6/7 fusion, as the disc was totally destroyed, my entire left arm went numb, and my bicep/tricep/pectoral muscles all atrophied to waste. That surgery has helped me tremendously, but it was a last resort only after the disc completely started pressing on the nerve. I have 6 other herniated discs, degeneration & severe stenosis. My lumbar discs are really bad, and ive been a "candidate" for surgery for years. I have successfully avoided surgery, and my pain is now quite .manageable. I eat healthy, i exercise,im 52 with a 30 inch wasteline, i use an inverted bench, a spinal decompression bench,hot epsom salt baths, and a heating pad. For pain, i take Kratom and turmeric/bosweillia.I still go through periods of pain that feels like an icepick in my back, numbness/tingling down my leg, and my sciatic nerve twitching and feeling like a hot rubber band in my butt cheek. But its manageable now. Maybe it will help others, im not sure. Definitely helped me. Good luck all my pain companions!
Tysm I am having this surgery in November.
such interventions in to the human body point to the level of consciousness of society ... there are other ways (natural to human body) to handle cases like this satinama.simdif.com/index.html ... they sound not possible but again it's only the quality of believe which depends on level of consciousness. energy - vibration - frequency, that is the key, human body was not designed for surgeries nor for technology interacting. you are welcome

I have a l4-L5 fusion with a cage. Going on 20 years now. But I had a traumatic injury with a shattered vertebrae. Without the fusion and cage…. I’d have been a vegetable. Wouldn’t even have been able to sit up. In all honesty, it was a godsend. Still have pain but I’m now walking. Kind of walking. I have bilateral foot drop so nothings perfect. But better than the alternative.
DO NOT let a neurosurgeon do a lower lumbar fusion unless you have exhausted every single option. I am a long distance runner and had a neurosurgeon tell I would never be able to run again without this operation. I got another opinion from another doctor who told me to not run for 6-8 months and see how it goes. I took my MRI to a chiropractor and he said he can fix my herniated disk in 3 sessions. He did exactly that. Less than 3 months later I ran a half marathon with no pain. The neurosurgeon would have ruined my back for a lifetime.
chiropractors CANNOT fix herniated discs, stop the quackery...
I had to have this done at L4-L5 AND L5-S1. That was 4 years ago. I now have adhesive arachnoiditis at L4 (nerve clumping and scar tissue from nerve inflammation) and an in SCREAMING PAIN but hold it inside and just cry. I want my life back but fear it is over. I am only 55 years old.
What's next to correct it?
@@johnnyloo4985 Sadly, nothing can be offered according to my neurosurgeon due to the adhesive arachnoiditis, as further surgical treatment will only exacerbate that condition. I have read that ADULT STEM CELL THERAPY is being touted as an effective treatment, but it is very expensive. Thank you for asking, though. Are you suffering from this condition?
@@tinamckenna7514 can you exercise or do any conservative treatment?
@@rafaelborbacs I used to be able to walk 2 miles for cardio exercise, but not for the past year since it's (nerve clumping) gotten so much worse. Also, any form of stretching in my spine aggravates the nerves -- although it FEELS GREAT while doing it, but I pay in spades for days later. Water therapy is best.

Why do they have to cut away so much bone?
I’ve been offered this surgery twice and I declined both times. Most people who have a laminectomy and fusion are worse after than before the surgery.
I'm one of those people.....☠😓☠
Poca gente se queda bien y luego puede trabajar sin dolor.
Not in my case. Of course every case is different. I had broken lamina bouncing off of my syatic and spondylolisthesis letting the vertibrae move too much. I'm able to lift again and my left leg works better. I'm also guessing the worse off didn't try to modify their own body mechanics. You do have to rehab right and listen to the experts.
Agreed
@@jacobforrester9827 q
Screw placement is everything! Screws need to go in at a diagonal angle to avoid the screw heads from piercing your joints!!! My screws were out in wrong and they fully pierced my joints. It took a year before they could take the screws out. I’m human again!! Make sure you have a surgeon who understands screw placement and avoid this surgery if you can!
My surgeon used a computer with imaging to place the screws in the correct spot. They do angle somewhat on the x-rays.
Those people who do this operations are just pure genius they really are.
I had to have L1 L2 L3 all fused due to a fall off a roof on the job .
My Dr. Did the normal fusion procedure rods/ lag screws /brackets and smaller bolts/screws
Which keeps the spine from moving in those areas and does not move .
Why hasn't someone invented engineered a fusion that keeps the damaged vertebrae intact but still allows the spine to move like it normally would ! Spinal fusion does not feel good and one that still moves in all directions sure as hell does
Bc screws can break and loosen. They did limited rotation mobility.
Noo its only L1 L2 or R1 R2 🙄🙄
It's probably out there already, but not funded or maybe is better this procedure bcs is cost effective and you need medication regardless
There is a TOPS procedure - Total Posterior Spine System (TOPS System) with no bone grafting.
The FDA still allows spinal fusion surgeries because old surgeons don't want to learn how to do artificial disc replacement surgery.
Yeah artificial disc replacement is the video they showed me that was "so called similar" to procedure i was about to get when they handed me disclaimer tablet. That probably wouldve helped.
there is a new experimental procedure called TOPS - Total Posterior Spine System (TOPS System) with no bone grafting.
I won't lie that looks like a hack job if I ever seen one. You literally have a vertebrae removed and replaced with a couple of screws. Has anyone had this done and what's the quality of life like afterwards?
i had a disc removed and it freed up a bunch of pinched nerves. then a small "cage" filled with cadaver material replaced the disc to fuse with my bone. i had a couple rods and screws like shown here too and its given me my life back. i had incredible pain before for years that nothing helped. im so glad i had the surgery. im walking and doing most everything i did before. obviously being careful not to fall but i have my life back and im so grateful.

@@Siva_Talk im not going to tell location or other info thats too personal online but i will share that im in new york. find a surgeon you trust and feel confident about and ask questions, talk about concerns. a good surgeon won't rush you or ignore your concerns. ask how long theyve been a surgeon or how many theyve done, find out info about the surgery and recovery, talk about options you may have. discuss healing time, pain management or whatever else you wanna know. when recovering do your best and dont overdo it. good luck. you can do it. remember the recovery or surgery experience is not the same as other ppl, everyone heals different or has different pain tolerance etc so dont compare yours with other ppl, focus on you and do what you feel is best. good luck.

Hii josh
The body will often reabsorb some of the protruding disc over time & pain+cramps will often greatly diminish. I went natural & the situation gradually improved over 2 years. I would recommend isometric exercises (buttocks, thighs, tummy scrunches) lying immobile on side if you have much pain to strengthen the lower back and hips which helps alot. Simple walking is great if you can. It can build strength, stamina & flexibility alone (40 min 3x per week as a goal you can build up to. Don't bother with other exercises except maybe swimming, avoid any heavy weights) Also, very important to lose weight if you are overweight to lessen stress on spine, eat nutritious food ie. low carb/fresh diet.
I think he means protruding slipped disc. The body has it's way of fixing itself better than any doctor. Maybe that is one of those.🤷
well said
But my pain is 5 years. Body didn't fix it and absorbed. Pain getting worae and worse
You can exercise all you want it will not help if you have severe arthritis
If you can tolerate the pain I'd recommend to deal with it. These surgeries are very risky especially since many surgeons are mediocre these days
A workout buddy of mine had lumbar fusion back in 1999. He said he couldn't do much movement. He got if because of heavy lifting, he was a big guy. Back in the day I never wore a weightlifting belt even when I did heavy weights. I paid the price with a herniated disc in lumbar region. When it occurred I couldn't do shit for a week, just take Doans back pill. I just stretched it out well and avoided heavy deadlifts, no belt still. Having lumbar fusion is the one thing I do not want; the thought of restricted mobility just lingers in my head.
I had low back pain and found a back rehab facility. I lifted weights and used a special weight machine for the lower back. By lifting weights and making the muscles, tendons and ligaments stronger, my back pain went away. That was 10 years ago and I still lift weights to make my back stronger. I would never chose elective back surgery and have someone messing around near my spinal cord!
Can you provide a link to the machine you're using?
You could lift weights even with an extrusion?
This surgery literally destroys spine.

All great if it takes and holds , chances are your going to have future implications from this surgery. I would rather stay in pain and leave my spine alone. Serious buisness to do this to a body. No thank you. I live with serious sciatica and pain is only pain. Get used to it.
Eddie Spaghetti, I endured sciatica for 12 years in my right leg. It would take me 10 to 15 minutes just to get out of bed in the morning. Then one day I had another surprise. Sciatica down both legs at once and down I went. I had L5 and S1 fused about 4 years ago (the surgeon went through my abdomen and put a plate on the front of my spine). Two and half hours after my surgery I walked about an eighth of mile with no pain. I still walk without pain. There is no limitation to my movement either. I would do the surgery again in a heartbeat.
I had a 3 level laminectomy but it wasn't enough, so now they need to do a fusion of l4/l5 & l5/s1. I'm scared, but my quality of life right now is terrible
had this done in 2015. Only helps so long as you do the Physio
How are you nowdays?
I was in excruciating pain until I had this surgery. Now pain in that area is almost non existent.
Update: in November 2022 I underwent my 6th bout of spinal surgery. I had decompression of right and left nerve roots at levels L1/L2 and L2/L3. Now 100% pain free after 1 year of agony. Root cause of my problems is spinal stenosis.

P.s. interesting to see So many views but no comment with lots of likes. Shows how it’s the one kind of UA-cam video
I get tingles and itchiness right along my spine.
Sometimes it feels like I have a burn along my spine.
Been about 2 months and I’m considering actually seeking help.
It’s effecting my mood and productivity so much lately it’s sad.
Get a mri my friend that will show you what’s going on and explain exactly why your in pain in most cases, then you can decide what treatment is best for you

Why does this surgery take place

I had this done... 10 1/2 inch rods from my pelvic to thoracic! Fixed nothing... constant pain, legs numb, hips hurt constant... but my back is straight! They wanted to do my neck but after my second major back surgery... ill suffer my neck! Awesome video...
sounds like you needed a lamnectomy and decompression at the same time as the fusion. thats what i had done. its where they remove a disc to free up pinched nerves. i had severe pain down my whole right side for years. nothing helped. i tried steroid injections,radiofrequency,spinal chord stimulator etc. the spinal fusion plus lamnectomy freed up the nerves and gave me my life back.
Did you go to Dr. Duntsch?
Finally after 13 years of suffering I'm going to surgery within 5 days.
Now I'm 28 years old.

I’ve got spondylothesis with grade 3 slippage of L4. I’ve lived with sciatica for 25 years. Some days better than others, some days no pain, some days the tears roll down my face from intractable nerve pain that feels like a steel spike stuck in between my spine coming out my back side. I don’t take any pain meds, just adjust my activity or hang upside down. They can keep their back surgery techniques. I’ve seen too many as a med/surg floor nurse end up paraplegics from botched back surgeries and they still had pain. So glad to be retired now.

Hi. Is your back OK now? Did you have any more herniation after the surgery?
@@uugantsetsegdelgerbayar4612 If any level of spine is fused , the discs adjacent to it are doomed to herniate, wear off early , maybe one can delay this process for 10 years with extreme care, no lifting weights

Hi. I had my L5-S1 fused in 2009. Now I am getting pain in adjacent joints. How are u now?
In general my fused area went through a lot bc a nerve kept getting active but after countless mri s they could never find the cause, so with time I just learned to live with it. No more extreme pain to the point I was unable to function apart from a few days a year on which I try to rest as much as possible and take some meds. Oh and my fusion area was L1-L4. But then, I had a herniated disc on L5-S1 for which I got a microdiscectomy a month ago and I am pretty sure it blew again. Tried to avoid a second fusion especially bc I dont want to lose my mobility but seems ike that will be the only option for me soon :) still trying to be positive and will consider a 2nd microdiscectomy first but lets see
@@manojprabhakar9111 wishing you all the best btw!!
My back started hurting just watching that.
I love how the spinal cord is just pushed out of the way like it's not important 🙃
Physical therapy is a must after surgery. It makes for better recovery and results.
This works for some people, not for others. Many variabele factors involved. If you are considering spinal surgery, opt for a neuro surgeon rather than an orthopedic surgeon.
What if spinal surgery is needed for spinal TB, should we consider a neuro surgeon instead of orthopedic? N why is that?
@@ToThoseWhoVanished as far as I know, spinal (bone) TB, if not in a too-advanced stage, can be treated and cured with multiple drug therapy, usually over a long period of time. However, it the condition has resulted in serious deformity with the risk of paralysis, corrective surgery might be necessary (after which drug therapy continues). I'd prefer a neuro surgeon to work on the spine, but the final choice can be subject to several factors, such as medical aid cover, availability in one's region, urgency of the procedure. So very sorry for (your?) troubles. With my very best wishes.
@@arjanbogaers8003 yes my troubles for now. Hope I get well soon without surgery. Best wishes to you as well.
I had a l4l5 to s1 fusion and I can honestly say this is the most pain I've ever felt
When you did surgery?
Are you ok . after surgery pain is not there ha?
Im 73 and my proposed surgery is as yours , it will be open surgery . Severe stenosis and scolliosis the cause . Now I know more I'm a little worried
2 rods 6 screws … best part is no more pinched nerve, get numbness in legs and feet but like anything else you learn to live with it …
A few beers kills any pain left behind
This is so shockingly gross. Even worse the fact that 90pct ++ of this patients would have been relieved by improving their muscles. But that would not have paid a surgeon
I had this surgery in 2016 have four screws and two plates in my back. It helped for awhile still have back pain but not as bad.
Iam having this done in october... never schould have watched this,hello panic and nightmares.
Have you considered disc replacement instead of disc removal and fusion?
Did you have surgery yet? If so, how is everything?
Spinal fusion of L4 and L5 was terrible. 18 months after still have numbness and pain in my legs.
Передний межтеловой спондилодез мне поставили в 1989 г., с заходом через живот убрали 3 диска и скрепили позвонки моей же костью с левого бедра. До сих пор чувствую себя прекрасно, спина не болит уже 32 года.

Try to avoid back surgery at all cost.
why?
Why is that?
@@lauravargas510 Too many complications. Fusions just lead to more fusions. High risk of nerve damage, etc. I think it's the type of surgery that has the most complications.
I had this exact surgery on my L5-S1. Worse decision of my life. A regret I have to live with for the rest of my life. (I was 36 years old)
Told my family the person they knew never left the hospital. My life ended on that operating table.
glitchez yes, I woke up in the hospital bed in pain I never knew existed. And that pain never left. I was told the “surgical pain” could take 6 months to pass. In never did. I ended up on a 7 day psych hold once the pain broke me. It (the pain) cost me my job, marriage, friends...etc. due to various reasons. Dr’s will no longer treat me bc I fall outside their parameters of “treatable.” I no longer take pain medication bc... no dr’s. I manage now with herbal remedies like Kratom, ice packs & heating pads and Cymbalta for nerve damage. I’m now only 42.
Looking back, my life would have been manageable if I never had the fusion. I still have 2 more herniated disks in the thoracic spine but that’s another story.
I went to a different surgeon 2 years after the fusion and he confirmed the surgery was done correctly. I was just the 1 out of 10 that had “failed back surgery syndrome”
Moral of the story: unless your life is completely over, and I’m talking over over.....It shouldn’t even be a consideration.
PS. The herb Kratom is the only reason I am even able to get out of bed. Drs don’t want to talk about it bc big pharma doesn’t make $ off it.
glitchez I tried CBD drops under the tung. Not sure if that the same.
Thanks for your input. I'm starting to reconsider having the operation.
Me too the worst thing ever
@Michigan fan I'm sorry to hear about your awful experience, but you have definitely changed my mind about having the surgery. Thanks for sharing and I will seek the options you've mentioned.

That is lovely to hear. I do have one question though. I've heard of many people gaining height from this surgery and other spinal surgerys. It is truly possible? Because honestly I would absolutely love to undergo this procedure simply for cosmetic reasons. If you do gain any height at all, how much? I thought I'd take up the opportunity to ask someone with experience. If you would reply it would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much!!
I had this surgery type on my L1 and L3 yesterday and I walked today for first time. It's incredible. Can't thank enough to the team behind inventing such extraordinary procedures

I have had this procedure done about 12 years ago but I also had a slippage of 25,% and severe scoliosis of 40° in total I had 4 procedures and full double rods. I can walk. I do live with pain still. But my neurosurgeon is the best.
Witch doctor?
OMG! This looks horrific.
I have been told by 2 specialists I need to have this done on my L4 L5.
I'm not liking the look of this one bit. Is there anything else that can be done that anyone knows of? Thanks
Yoga , or try to do atleat 50 push-ups every day. It will make your core strong
Only a very few will feel comfort. I would lose weight, swim and live with the pain. Generally this procedure doesn't end well.
I might have to do this. I have a totally collapsed L5 disc. I’m getting an MRI Tuesday. If I can avoid fusion and go with TDR, sign me up! Been in miserable pain for over a month now...
Good luck. I'm scheduled soon. I'm having non stop sciatica. Burning in my groin. Electric shocks in my heels, and plantar fascistis.
@@txnhb I had my spine fused due to bad discs (l5 s1) about 2 and a half months ago. First 2-3 weeks were the hardest in terms of mobility but so far I’ve been pain free. I’m still healing and limited still but I feel so much better than I did before the surgery

How can u keep the pain away
I recovered from spondolysis in L6 by sleeping in floor for about a month. Please try this and treat yourself easily.
I RATHER ENDURE THE PAIN (BUT STILL ABLE TO MAINTAIN MY MOBILITY) THAN GOING THROUGH THE DICEY OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES (NO MATTER HOW ADVANCED THEY CLAIMED TO BE) THAT MIGHT RENDER ME INVALID FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. TAKE FULL CONTROL OF MY BODY DECISION IS A WISE CONSIDERATION.
I can tell by your words that you dont suffer from the issues I do. I can barely work and im only 29. Im in constant pain. As soon as I get home I have to lay down. I cant do the things I use to. Im considering this surgery.
@@GuyFromTheSouth that sucks :(
My dad had similar surgery. I was 4, now 28. He complains and says his fingers have started to feel numb. :( his back also makes a cracking sound . Like the top bone is worn off. I wish I would of adviced him not to get surgery. I also went to school for surgercal tech. Once your body is operated on it's never the same. Especially with these types of procedures. :,(
Bless your heart I know what you must be going through.

@@chadhyde50 hi can we talk
I was in a work accident in 2007 that nearly killed me. As a result, I had severe injuries to my spine in lower back and neck. I need a spinal fusion in both places. But am nervous to do either one. I could really use some words of encouragement. As I have had over a dozen surgeries to this day, due to injuries from my accident. And other health issues. But my last surgery about a month ago I almost didn’t wake up. They kept me an extra day and a half in the hospital. Due to my bad oxygen levels. Each surgery it gets harder and harder to wake me up. I am near not being able to walk, due to my back. But I am afraid I won’t wake up…. I don’t know what to do… 😔😔😔
God be with you! Hope you are doing well now.
