Glad it was helpful!
What’s your opinion on safety and results of micro endoscopic posterior cervical discectomy?! I’ve had a pinched nerve on my C5 that causes arm chronic soreness and neck stiffness for 10yrs. I did chiro and every form of PT up to this point. I was looking into stem cell / PRP but I don’t see how that’s gonna take that pressure off the nerve. I need to have it cleaned out and removed from touching the nerve. What chances if it works does the issue return? I have given up and high impact exercise.
Do u suggest surgery if the person is having disc bulge in L4 L5 & due to that initially rt side sciatica nerve was compressing but now left side nerve is compressing & have numbness in left leg & foot drop also
I would rather die than have severe paralyzing complications from spinal surgery! Thank you so much Dr for educating us
