My MRI is on its way to you. Should arrive Monday! My quality of life is gone and has been since middle of January.
You are my hope to do the simple things of life like walk and drive. What a life changing experience this has been and your videos have helped me understand so much about nerve system.
I hope to see you in Brevard in my near future.

Welcome
Man im a truck driver and sitting for so long is killing me man, like my butt hurts so bad
I had open spine surgery for a ruptured disk at L2-L3 about 20 months ago. I still have lower back pain on both sides after standing for a short time or prolonged sitting. I have been diagnosed with advanced degenerative disk disease at L5-S1 and moderate narrowing at L2-3 plus mild narrowing at L1-L2 disk space period. Am I a candidate for the Lazer disk repair?
Please like and share!

The laser treatment looks so incredibly promising. I need to have it done, but I'm worried that if I get an "updated" MRI that it won't show much like the one I had 3-4 years ago does. My pain never fully goes away and really limits a lot of things for me such as lifting a 25lb box or bending forward. I'm afraid to work out or go for jogs because of my back, and I hate taking pain killers because of how bad they are for me in the long run (sometimes they don't even work depending on my level of pain on a given day). And I'd really prefer to not have to re-experience my disc bulging all over again just to get an MRI to show that the problem is definitely still there, because that pain is easily the worst pain I've ever felt :/
Rick how are you today? Any updates? I know what you mean about the pain worst imaginable pain ever. I hope you found some type of relief if so please share. I am trying to figure out my back pain as we speak. Had a fusion at L4-L5 still in pain but considering this surgery he talks about at the L5-S1 level. Good luck to you.
@@KBradAdams thanks for reaching out. I still need to figure out my options with my job because I'll be damned if I'm gonna work at all during the 6week recovery. I do a lot of moderate lifting at my current job and it's mostly fine as long as I pay close attention to my form. I intend to take the full 6 weeks to let it heal whenever I'm able to have it done. I wanna make sure this never comes back.
@@KBradAdams sorry to hear about the fusion that's exactly where my disc problem is too. I feel like it's one of the worst spots to have a bulging disc too lol. I knew right away I didn't wanna do fusion and my doctor's didn't even wanna do it on me anyway and I'm glad they didn't. Seeing the surgery process for fusion it just looks awful all around 😕
@@RickGuitarist94 Yeah I agree take the full 6 weeks off and do nothing but walk. I had a discectomy but it never felt right but I will say I woke up with zero leg pain and zero sciatic pain. It was so bad I was crawling around my house and could not sleep stand or walk more than 4 or 5 steps it was killing me. A couple of years later after visiting two surgeons saying it is not right, and them saying just do whatever you want. I went back to a jiujitsu class. Did a warmup and drilling and it hurt the next day. 3 days later I sneezed and it ruptured again and man it was worse than the first time... constant pain like someone stuck and burning pole in my back down to my foot.. I threw muscle relaxers opiods everything at it and nothing helped.. I would move and it would lock up again... it was torture... not just painful... screaming pain... for about 24 hours.. finally crawled to the car and my wife drove me to an MRI and surgeon and I laid in the waiting area on the floor.. he saw the MRI and me and did surgery the next week. My white blood count was so high he almost wouldn't do it but said it was from the torture pain I experienced the days before having my blood work done. Woke up from L4/L5 fusion and sciatic pain free but my back still didn't feel right so thinking either I did not fuse or my L5/S1 disc is bad and it was never addressed. Hoping this doctor can do the laser thing on that disc and if it doesn't work well I can always do the fusion down the road. But like you said do whatever you can to stay pain free. Good luck.
@@KBradAdams wow that's horrible 😱 sounds a lot worse than mine for sure. Mine got bad but not to that point. I really hope he can help you. His treatment looks extremely promising.
do anyone knows how much cost this operations? I have a herniated disc and killing me since June 2023.
Depends on if your insurance will cover this procedure. If your insurance does not cover it, your out of pocket could be as little as $20,000 or as much as $40,000 maybe more. It depends on how many disc need to be repair. This is a very general estimate. Call their office and speak to Richard. He will give you the total price.
Is there any way I could make an appointment with you even if telehealth. I have insurance that will cover. PLEASE look at my MRI and tell me. I've been in pain too long. Please help me. 🙏🏽 I'm in Texas. Cash or insurance I can do. Lets talk please. 😊😢
I have a peice of retropulsed fragment stuck at the L5 level,could you get it out,I have osteoporosis. ALSO could you cure my stenosis and slipped disks.?Thankyou.
yes look into deuk laser disc repair
Can you get swelling lymph nodes in occipital and neck from a disc or facet issue in the neck? I know there are many other causes I’m just asking if it’s possible. Also do these issues cause excessive sweating ? Thanks
Spine degenerative issues do NOT cause swollen lymph nodes to my knowledge
How do I find a dr like yourself so I can avoid replacing disc L5-S1 in Hollywood Florida or who excepts Aetna Medicare please? I’ve been in pain since I’m 33 and now I’m 50 yrs old. My pain is unbelievable, I’ve done 5 ablations, none has worked

IMO and from experience having sciatica or back problems in general and it shoots into your legs Your legs become weaker therefore You become more susceptible to injuries not that it causes injuries but you become more fragile so to speak.. then again so does a neck injury shoots into your arms and your arms become weaker and more susceptible to injury with that too... You have to be extremely careful when you have this condition..
Totally agree with you.
amazing info , feels like youre describing me as the perfect candidate , ive been tossed around from doc to doc . the same doctor even told me 2 entirely different things a year apart as i was paying our of pocket and had insurance the other visit . quick question dr Deuk ,if this should reach you , pretty sure i have cervical facet and disc issues , mri shows severe stenosis but no nerve pain down the arm so kinda gets dismissed plus ive had this forever and am young and appear to be in good shape . my pain level is super high and no conservative treatments work . question is can the stenosis cause severe pain along w the facet joints w out pain down the arm ? also can these isssues make muscles spasm and stiff. i have very little range of motion . just sick of hearing its something you have to learn to live with or doctors underestimating my pain . 14yrs down the drain so far being miserable with these neck issues . illl be seeing you soon for sure
This is Dr Deukmedjian at Deuk Spine Institute. Stenosis never causes neck pain. Your pain is either discogenic, facetogenic or both. We can fix both.

THANKS FOR THE REPLY , ALREADY SENT MY PORTAL INFO SO SHOULD HAVE MY MRI REVIEW SOON . LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING A LIFE AGAIN @@DeukSpineInstitute
Dr. Deuk: Just thought I would let you know, you spelled "Neurosurgery" incorrectly on your lab coat.
I sewed it on too quickly and I was tired from being up all night saving lives. Thanks
Do all your procedures except Medicare and supplemental insurance
Many of deuk spine institutes treatments are covered by Medicare, some are not
So sorry
are you human... doc ....really
Yes
Dr.whats your input on Discseal
Great in theory but it doesnt work. I have seen countless patients that had it done and they are still in so much pain. In my humble opinion it is a scam. Dont waste your money.
Thank you for your response doc,new follower
@@jessegonzalez3753 welcome
Are you one of the doctor's from LSI ?
No. Deuk Spine Institute was founded in 2004, the same year as LSI. We perform more advanced treatments than LSI. LSI surgeries had many problems and hence bad results mostly
@aradeukmedjian5957 wow, I feel sorry for all that people who put their trust in that place.
I also need surgery on my neck, but I am terrified after the horrible pain I had with my back fussion. I have had epedrial injections in the past, but that is just a band-aid on the problem.
Toons of pills visits to the chiropractor 10,000 of dollars 💸 spend. Physical therapy massage therapy, you name it.
So I live in texas and have traditional Medicare, they pay 80%, and I pay 20%
Will you take Medicare? If Medicare pays for the neck surgery.
I'm not seeing you in my network Medical Mutual super med ppo and cigna. Wish you were.
Your health is too important to let an insurance company decide it for you. Insist on the best treatment with Deuk Spine
Does the institute perform PRP disc injection??
yes we can. Thanks
Do Viadisc
@@brians2328 viadisc = garbage
Where do you practice again??i have a question that seems like no neurosurgeon knows hiw to answer or actually doesnt give a ---- to answer..i had an epidural injection done and it seemed like it was a vicious and negligent procedure that went wrong..the next day i was working out and i put my usual weight onband as i was doing it my right arm starting giving out and that was like7 years ago to this day i lost strength and some of my muscle tissue in that arm got lost...also i had acupuncture by the same Dr and mannthisbguy realky screwed my body up..he stuck a needle 💉 binmy right side bif my neck and right away I felt a sharp pain and I thought that was normal I thought maybe it was relieving some of my issues and my neck and I was in agony that whole time I was calling out for the doctor nobody came in I did make a complaint to him, and that night my shoulder and my right arm was injured hurt painful and that also did not help my strength and muscles tissue, I was never the same on my right arm ever again with those procedures I'm asking what do you think happened if you have time to answer., I should if sued him but im not that type of person to do so..he also screwed my back up.. Thank you
Yes it sounds like the doctor made a mistake and harmed you. I am sorry this happened. We are in Orlando florida area
@@aradeukmedjian5957 thanks for being compassionate..maybe you can go thru my insurance if I send you MRIs like a telehealth appointment so to speak, please let me know....I can use a legitimate opinion,these long island Drs are trained all the same way and see money signs..ty
it got bankrupt right?
yes LSI went bankrupt but even before that they had bad results from their procedures
This one right here? Who went bankrupt?
@@katygirl9221 Not Deuk Spine Institute. Deuk Spine Institute is a state of the art laser spine center with cutting edge spine surgery technology in Florida. 3 years ago a different company called Laser Spine Institute went bankrupt.
@@katygirl9221laser spine institute, different place than this
