With more than 30 years of experience, Donald Corenman, MD, DC, is a highly-regarded spine surgeon, considered an expert in the area of neck and back pain. His training as a Doctor of Chiropractic early in his career did not satisfy his desire for a deep understanding of the mechanics of the spine. This led him to medical school where he completed his Doctor of Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery Residency and Spine Surgery Fellowship. His study of spinal disorders and deformities brought him to Vail, Colorado where he joined The Steadman Clinic in 1994. With personalized clinical care a cornerstone of Dr. Corenman’s practice, he has been awarded the “Top 10 Doctor Award”, “Patient’s Choice Award”, “Compassionate Doctor Recognition” and is consistently recognized by Becker’s Spine Review in “Top Spine Surgeons to Know.”
Dr. Corenman has published two books: for patients, “Everything You Wanted to Know About the Back: A Consumers Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Lower Back Pain” and for the medical community, “The Clinician’s Guidebook to Lumbar Spine Disorders: Diagnosis & Treatment”. He is passionate about educating patients on spine anatomy and disorders, so they have the ability to partner with their physicians in finding the most effective treatment for their back pain and disorders. His focus on peer education earned academic appointments as Clinical Assistant Professor and Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and his research on spine surgery and rehabilitation has resulted in the publication of multiple peer-reviewed articles.

    Looking at my example, I have a herniation that does not look so bad on MRI, but I have pain that I would not classify as pain, but more as teaser shocks. The nerve roots are slightly moving in the spinal canal/neural sac and can be positioned differently from person to person, I would guess. Therefore, my herniation is not giving me pain but shocks because I think it hits the nerves that are positioned more on the front of the spinal canal. Alternatively, the MRI doesn't show my herniation properly because I had the MRI when everything returned to normal. I experience these shocks every 1-2 months, and my last MRI was done just after I fully recovered from the last episode. When I have these shocks, I’m on strong medications, lying in bed for a week, and then I have a massive body shift three weeks later. All the muscles around my waist (on the left side of my body) are very stiff. After a week, I start a series of exercises and hang on the bar, and the condition goes away after another 3-5 weeks. When I was fully recovered, I had the MRI, so I guess it doesn't show the compressed neural sac. If the MRI was done during the episode when I have those shocks, it would probably show the compression and bigger herniation. Is that correct?

    Thanks, explained it better then any doctor could even the best communicator. I find a huge gap in the communication making me understand between doctors, luckily one was good enough with that but still hard to visualise it.

    I have good health insurance through work, but its no use if doctors cant find what i have. I've been suffering with low back pain and bilateral sciatica for close to 11 years now. It bad, it has completely destroyed my life. I've had tons of Mri scans of the Lumbar back and nothing shows up. I've even been told, " Congratulations man, you don't have anything". I went to the best surgeon in my city of Bakersfield California and he couldn't find anything. I feel as if my spine is unstable, sometimes ive hurted just tying my shoe. I wish i had a good Spine doctor who could take a closer look at my case, there's something they've missed in my MRi scans, my pain started in May of 2010 lifting a bag of dog food at a grocery store. My pain is not all in my head, theres a reason.

    @@paradigm_HealthCare no, today i saw a new doctor and she ordered new Mri of the lumbar and thoracic spine. I also had a few x rays done, and it came out normal according to the copy of the report i was given. This year i want to get to the bottom of what i have. In May i go 11 years and still no diagnoses, which is ridiculous. Ive seen 4 spinal surgeons and none have been able to diagnosed me. This time i will also ask for steroid injection into the Si joint, i wanna make sure my pain is coming from there, i had injections done on l4-L5 and didnt do a thing.

    @@indigenousamerican3148 Maybe the MRI of the Lumbar and Thoracic Spine clear up things. But you should definitely ask your physician/radiologist to have a hard look at your images and rule out tethered cord and spinal instability issues before moving on to other treatment options.

It was all because of an injury in 2010 and haven't been the same since. I dont know whats gonna be of me. I dont think i can live like this another 10 years :(
