    Because some dr.s think there God and feel like they don't have to give a full explanation, especially the older ones. They just talk to you for 10min and get your co-pay. This dr is different very through thow.

    Thank you for this thorough explanation. I’ve known that I’ve had a pinched nerve in my neck and now I’m certain after you’ve explained the symptoms. Unfortunately the ortho surgeon I’ve seen is of no help. They want me to get an mri on my shoulder and my sister who is an mri tech looked at the order says it’s wrong and should be on my neck, not shoulder but the dr won’t listen or see me any further. I’m in so much pain and I also damaged my lower back by simply bending down to pick up something. I’m only 40 and have been working out and eating healthy consistently since I was 21 😢. It’s so frustrating.

    Thank you so much for the explanation, I damaged my nerves, almost the whole left side of my body. It's been 2 years and still don't feel temperature on my left side, but I do feel numbness/needle points instead of the temperature. It's weird but I went to physical therapy for about 6 months and still feel that same numbness/needle points. So, I've given up on trying to regain full function, but at least it feels good to understand what happened to me. You're an awesome doctor, thank you for that.

My pain is much less now after 6 therapy sessions. Hopefully these issues will be totally resolved with therapy.

    I would like to say thank you for explaining this issue, discomfort or Pinch Nerve procedure. As for myself I referred to three different specialists and all three have determined that I have had a pinched nerve for a long time. The Nerve Specialist was the one that finally made the diagnosis and all the systems that you have explained I have. With me it is the C3 and C8, prior to my diagnosis I since have had 2 previous surgeries due to arthritis and carpotunel on my hand and wrist. Second was a displacement of the nerve in the elbow, both surgeries went very good no issues. Third surgery is going to be on my neck which is where my discomfort is and because of this I am starting to experience the same symptoms all over again.

    What a stellar presentation! Dr. Su, you have made this easy to understand for the average, non- medical person. Unfortunately, since my only insurance is Medicaid, and I am unable to travel because of economic circumstances, you cannot be my Dr. I have multiple disc herniations - mostly cervical, but also lumbar... I also have spondylitis, stenosis, osteophytes, and ddd. I have more upcoming appointments with a neurosurgeon at the local spine center.... Hopefully there will be a good outcome. I am 59 years old and have tried to keep active, but it is getting harder.

If doctors took the time. Like 15 minutes tops. To explain why we're having pain and where it's coming from, and the remedy. Then, most of us could leave the doctors office.
