Low Back Anatomy with pinched nerves, disc ruptures & pain

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

i have lower back pain but my legs are fine just when i get up it hurts like hell and when walking it hurts

does that mean i dont have a pintched nerve ? or is it just torn muscle

[makeiteasyable]

xray and ct scan was still useful

[Godzie1]

I have been suffering w/spine issues since 1997 w/DDD Due to osteoarthritis including pollyradiculopathy (multi level nerve damage), stenosis, Ruptured disc L5 S1 & it feels like my legs & feet have been run over by a semi truck from my calves to my feet 24/7. throbbing, burning pain. Take hydrocodine for pain..Any suggestions?

[josephanimation]

Also dosent fusing discs only cause the pressure to transfer to the disc below the fusions which causes problems for that disc?

[redshaftedflicker]

@josephanimation

That's one argument that does make sense to me in regards to fusions but I'm no doc. If you asked an orthopaedist or maybe even a neurosurgeon they might beg to differ. Check out artificial disc replacements if you haven't already. I think that they are the future in regards to spinal issues.

[josephanimation]

Hi..can a CT scan show disc problem?

[supertrex2]

the right picture have so much contrast on it, coould have windowd better.

Thank you Doctor Salami !!!

[dirtyatc]

Had my microdiscectomy 2 days ago. After 15 + years of this L5S1 crap, with pain ranging from mildly nagging to more recently, for lack of a better description, suicidal. Its 2 days now and the surgical wound is a bug bite compared to 6 weeks of severe relaps and no med care (please lets not go there) fetal position, bed sores, I just can't desribe... I write this in tears as I sit here in comfort, feeling my feet and toes without any pain ...cept for that lil bug bite. Thanks to good DOCS

Awesome...shows me a great deal of info as to what is causing my lower back pain..now I will go get it checked out at a doctors office. Thanks.

[eristderbeste]

x rays are not nessecary anymore.use mrt!

[AlienBlood]

@eristderbeste MRT pities the fool who uses xrays!!

[Hertsman50]

Great video.  My advice for anyone thinking about surgery, don't do it. I had a lumbar discectomy performed on my L5/S1. I was ok for a few years but now I'm in much worse pain. Surgeons are butchers, how can cutting away part of your disc cure the problem? I had the op done privately through my BUPA insurance. After the op I started to have neck problems & the same surgeon advised me he could cure my neck issue with another op...lol!!! Private surgeons want to operate, they make a fortune.

thanks for posting

[Patindahat07]

fasting means less food intake.

less food intake = less blood sugar.

(nerves use sugar for energy to function (and hurt))

so by reducing your blood sugar, the sugar you do have is used for what is necessary, and high blood sugar can aggravate pain.

[2melit1]

thanks, very informative. this will help with my anatomy studies!

[AVeryBIackMan]

thanks, that was really informitive

definitely makes me improve my posture

[brendandylanmaloney]

It might sound crazy,but I have fasted and my whole entire body was so much more flexible, so I am wondering if it would help to fast to relieve back pain. It could possibly loosen things up in the spine. Fasting is powerful !

[johnbr59]

well, losing weight can help relieve pressure from discs...

[Noormusleh]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[itrainsinoctober]

I tried chiropracty, massage, epidurals, exercise, etc. If you have low back pain, mid-back pain, or whatever it may be, there is a really great read called "Healing Back Pain" by Dr. John Sarno. It conveys the most Responsible Content on the matter that I have ever come across and is NOT "about" anatomy in general. You can google his name they probably have the book at your local library. P.S. I've had 2 discectomies in the past - didn't know better, and...yeah, it's a really worthwhile read.

[papichulu79]

yes i have a sacrum problem please any one can help please thanks

[Armysniper360]

I as well have sacrum problems. Ive had sciatica now for about 14 yrs. My condition is a unstable sacrum that likes to subluxate. I just found out from a Dr that does nothing but work on people with sciatica, that by getting a "Trochanter Belt", that would secure the pelvic bones into place. Takes about 4-6 months, u can do whatever u like-per say, and the joint will heal itself. See Dr. George Best vids for the info..He will respond back to! hope it helps.

[zhikent88]

hello will you please advice me in regards to my moms accident and resulting to spondylosis in the lumbar spine, in this case is she may undergo surgery or what?... because in the summary of impairment of my mother it was stated that" she will be placed in a DRE Lumbosacral II and award her a 5% whole person impairment for asymmetrical loss of ROM of her Lumbar Spine as well as palpable spasm"... What does it mean? I hope that you can help me on this i'm willing to give more info about it...Tnx

[itrainsinoctober]

If you have low back pain, mid-back pain, etc., there is a really good book called "Healing Back Pain" by Dr. John Sarno. It conveys, without a doubt, the most Responsible Content on the matter that I have ever come across and is NOT "about" anatomy in general. You can google his name. You can probably find it at your local library if you don't want to purchase it. P.S. I've had 2 discectomies in the past - didn't know better, and.....yeah, it's a really worthwhile read.

[Stravingus]

Brilliant. Appreciate your knowledge

[afxgrin]

No - thank you. :-)

[oliverkhoo]

thanks for the presentation

[zanzibu]

I have for 17 yrs put off having surgery for my L4 and 5 problem. I recover fairly well with out surgery. But every four yrs or so it slips again...I cramp up and can't even walk. I can't bend or sit or get out of bed..Every one looks with disbelief...I just can't explain the way it feels...Just a hopeless feeling. I don't think I can take much more of this..so maybe it's time to get the surgery?

[undrcvrangel826]

[Godzie1]

Hi, I read your comment. I sympathize w/you. You see I have been suffering with the same thing for 12 years. I wanted my life back too. Unfortunately w/my condition is inopertable. This was told to me by Doctors. + I have stenosis. When I was diagnosed my daughter was only 3. fortunatly you don't die from this but sometimes you wish you would because you think no one understands what you are going through. But I do! You are not alone. Keep Happy thoughts! ϋ

[JPC2007ANGEL]

Very helpful video, I have lower spine disc bulge at L5, extra piece of vertebra and narrowing of lumbar spine. I'm 22 and suffered since 11 years of age with back problem.

This video is useful, thanks.

[miasansom]

Thank you for showing the spine and what normal and abnormal looks like. I have spinal edema and have had a discectomy to years ago and needed to see. This helps.

[reformedman]

thanks for the videos, please do more.

[StrangeDays25]

doctors that don't innovate should be punished!

[iniquissima]

And why?

[katya2k8]

vertebral column: nicely explained

[hugiaino]

You are really a dumb TURD! Type in the search window: "Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Patient Story - Trish" and see that Screws in the spine are part of the very latest non-invasive spinal surgery using Medtronics special tools, screws and process. Get a life Hoss!

[hugiaino]

Hey "darpachief": If you would pend more time reading than popping off Mate, you would see,

Dr. Hannani is a Board Certified orthopedic surgeon. He completed his medical school and surgical/orthopedic residency at UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Hannani has received additional training in the field of minimally invasive surgery and is one of few surgeons in the Los Angeles area who utilizes endoscopic techniques with awake patients. LA, California

[darpachief]

screws....no way....thats primative stuff....research for as long as possible. Some stupid doctors and surgeons out there man.

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

I have a spondy becuase I was involved in a sports accident. Now I have to do harsh excercises to keep myself alligned. Rods and Screws? No. How primitive is that! No! No! You need to innovate and research! This is medival medicine at its best!

[thebestrubbishseller]

So the rods and screws are crude. And what would you suggest tying your vertebraes with pretty pansies? After all they hold the whole weight of what's above, you head, your shoulders, may be the whole of your torso. So... what would do better? I am interestet.

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

There is always a better way. Artifical disks etc. The point is that they need to innovate.

[sniper3750]

Do all lumbar spinal fusion procedures require the insertion of rods and screws..

[sublimechick571]

i think so...I have rods from the top of my back into the bottom...and now im having a lower lumbar fusion and screws going into each hip......it HURTS LIKE A BITCH...dont let them tell u it doesnt..and u will live off pain killer...morphine and percs and oxycontins........did u ahve it?

[usmc7242]

I just had my second L5-S1 partial today. two pieces of the disk broke off so, yesterday we had the surgery. Still hurts a lot, but the leg pain is gone. Thankfully, the only pain is the surgery wound, that is a good thing! :)

[furballbear]

@usmc7242 I had this same surgery and as long as you don't over do it in the next few weeks you should be fine.

[rozzalenda123]

@usmc7242 what about now..how's your leg pain?

[usmc7242]

@rozzalenda123 now in 2010, it is still there, but much smaller

I still get spikes down my hamstring, but way less than last time I was on this page!

I forgot about this! :)

[thebestrubbishseller]

Was it a Minimally Invasive prosedure or the standard "let me see the whole of your spine" surgery? I thoght MIS didn't hurt as much... not sure if it can be used in all the cases, but still, makes me wonder why they still do the old-fashioned muscle cutting.
