  • Interesting, but scary. This would have to be the last resort.. I've heard more complaints than success stories when it comes to back surgery...

    My husband has herniated disk on L3,L4, & L5. One of .his disc is herniated up to 6mm. He couldn't walk,work and he was constantly agitated...

    He stopped eating late @ night, fast foods, sweets, and drank lots of water. along the way he lost 15-20 lbs. his back pain disappeared and he's back to normal. thank goodness.

  • @samuraigaru

    What he did is right, should have done in first place. But this does not reflect anything on surgery. Surgery is indicated in specific cases. Please do not mix up issues. Complaints than success is because MOSt patients do surgery NOT when told but as last resort. A surgeon is more knowledgable any way, but patients have a choice.

  • I absolutely wish that I would be recommended for this surgery. As long as I can walk, doctors want to be cautious about it. My hamstring is tight, knee and hip are sore, and exercise is totally hit and miss for making me feel a bit better or worse. The muscles of my lower body (lower back especially) have become asymetric. It sucks.

  • @newguy33X I would like to suggest you have enough evidence to think that your nerve is not functioning properly so u need attention from a surgeon who knows about this. U can choose some one who does miss surgery. B TW why u waiting for recommendation

  • @drgorewebscom I'm not really waiting for recommmendation. I've been told by several doctors that I won't get it because I'm mobile. They say there are too many risks, that the back is too tricky and too many things can go wrong. They'll get better over the years, so I'm hoping it'll be very simple before I'm too old to really enjoy the benefits.

  • @newguy33X

    That is ok, you can enjoy both ways.

I'm not going to tell you all about my back problems! Cuz some folks on here have had far worse than me! Love to all. Lol

  • @RobbieUKSF Sorry to hear it. I know what it's like when it gets pretty bad: "Barely able to put on pants" bad.

  • @desit1969 me to, my pain by far 20 out of 10 i havent been able to walk for 5 months and im only 19, so i cant work or anything.

  • @newguy33X i have pretty bad sciatica, and have had it for 4-5 months now havent been able to walk at all. the doctors keep recomending me to dif. people but nothing is being done. so hopefully i can get surgery and be done with it, its exscrutiating the pain.

  • I'm hoping and praying that I get to have this surgery

  • @samuraigaru OMG. Congratulation. wowww... great to hear can come out of LBP w/o operation. a very rare case. I am going to drink more water yet I am ready for Op. so stressing , painful and embarrassement to walk limping :)

  • @coyote165a i dont know. the creator of this video might be able to answer tjat queation for you.

  • @samuraigaru NO SOUND ON THIS VIDEO? WHY ?

  • Screw that I would be put out if they were doing surgery on my back. I have sciatica with no insurance so we don't actually know the cause, but when if flares up I can't even get out of bed...-_-
