  • I'm so glad I watched your video. I've gone through the same things you've gone through, including the physical therapy, the tests and all that. I have a nasty shooting pain down my right arm. They decided do surgery. A double disc fusion. But they are going to use cadaver bone instead of my own bone, so no hip surgery, thank God. Your video is really great about showing what I have to go through post op. I know you posted this a while back. How are you doing now? Did it fix the problem?

  • @vettefan87 Hi! I'm doing wonderful!!! I'm so so glad I had the surgery. I would do it again if I had to. Have not had any problems at all and no more pain. Wishing you the Best!! When are you having the surgery?? ~~jjackeeeeeeee~~

  • @LaurMitMom I`m sooooo glad I had the surgery and if I had to have it again. I would do it. OMG the pain was so unbearable. I have never had any problems since the surgery. I hope all goes well for you!! God Bless You!  Thank u for watching. Keep me posted on your results.

  • Turn down the radio:-)

  • @joakimgra Ok!!! hahahahahaha!!! You're SO RIGHT!!!

  • Hi all im from the caribbean and i got a fall in 2003 which messed up the c5,6and 7 disc, i got a surgery which corrected the c5 c6, bone was taken from my hip and placed in my neck and i also has screws and a titanium plate but still in intense excruciating pains bcuz the c7 still needs surgery,i often have to make visits to the hospital bcuz of that and medication call it i have taken but its like the body is resisting so can anyone give me any ideas on what to do next. Patrice from caribbean.

  • @Afriella Hi Patrice!!! I'm sorry you have to go through all of this with your body. Every since I have had the surgery i have not had any problems or any pain. I feel like a brand new person. I pray that all goes well with your surgery!!

see all

  • @vettefan87 You might want to get the stats on cadaver bone.

  • They haven't set a date yet, because they have one more test to do. I have a heart arrhythmia problem, so they want to do a test to make sure I'm fit to do the surgery. I don't know why. I had gall bladder surgery last year and didn't have any problem. More money I guess. LOL. I'm glad you're doing well and thanks for the good wishes.

  • Thank you for this informative video. I also just woke up one day with severe pain in my neck and down my left arm. After steroids and Vicodin, I could still barely use my left arm (I am left handed). My MRI was done last night and they called with the results today stating I have spinal degeneration in several discs resulting in pinched nerves. My doctor now wants me to see an orthopedic specialists and I am being scheduled for a nerve study. Hopefully, I won't need surgery.

  • Hi Susan

    im doing really well thank you. Had my double discectomy about six weeks ago, was kept in for three days just to make sure every thing was ok. I knew as soon as i came out of surgery that it had worked as the pain had gone. I had difficulty swallowing for a couple of weeks but my recovery gets better every day. What suprised me mostly was the fact i didnt have to wear a collar and i was walking around a couple of hours after the op.

    Hope your doing ok?

  • @jonee4 Hi! How are you doing now? Are you still improving okay! You are an inspriration yourself! :)

  • How strange is it, usually the donor site her hip will experience more pain now than her neck, my advice is to use a cadaver part, I had acl surgury & they used my own patella man i'm sorry I didn't choose a cadaver, the site where they took it from is worse than the actuall tear go figure.

  • All the pain meds she mentioned are crap, where is the oxycodone thats by far the best, since it's a schedule 2 Dr's are more cautious is prescribing it, hydrocodone is basically what she mentioned besides the crappy codein, ask your doctor for oxy's
