Ask the Australians how they do it…I had a decompression, corpectomy, cage fusion and release of OALL procedure in the the C2/3, C3/4 C4/5 back in 2020. I had it at the Austin Hospital in VIC, Australia. I have AS, Ankylosing Spondylitis, HEDS, Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and OALL Ossification of the Anterior Longitudinal Ligament and Severe Osteoarthritis. Because I am allergic to most Opioids I had presurgical Cervical RFA Cervical Radio Frequency Ablations for pain. The only real pain I had after surgery was due to the positioning during the lengthy surgery, which wasn’t even in the C spine. As the Austin is a major teaching hospital allot of the procedure was carried out by supervised students. They didn’t tear the dura so no spinal headache to deal with after the procedure. I only stayed in hospital for 3 days after as I am not a resident and didn’t want to be stuck in Victoria due to the COVID lock downs we went on to have in Australia.

Ive taken oxy 5’s and use lidocaine patches. It works best although the pain pills don’t work as much since I’ve taken them for 18 years. The steroid injections helped for pain I didn’t realize I had but didn’t help at the surgery sight

Here's a suggestion for Pain management doctors. Perhaps they should STOP cutting off their patients cold turkey from opiods. A majority of IV drug users begin injecting street drugs because of w/drawals from their doctors refusing to taper off the meds!

I had this procedure done on Aug. 24, 2023. The doctor is an interventional pain specialist who performed it and has a positive reputation in the community here in Arizona. After going home I started shaking and having severe pain all over my body. It got so bad I couldn’t get out of bed. I was taken to the ER by ambulance and received pain medication. The gave me morphine twice and then dilaudid. My blood pressure dropped so much they needed to give me Narcan twice. The pain I was having did not abate until I was started back on my Rx of Prednisone. I had a stroke caused by low blood pressure from the pain medication and subsequently was sent to a Rehab hospital for three weeks to recover function. My low back pain has never resolved. To this day I still have the severe pain daily. All I am left with is opioid pills. My doctor has no idea what happened. In this video you don’t talk about any negative side effects for this procedure. Did you ever have a patient who did not respond to this procedure or whose back pain was not relieved, like mine?

My Mother was diagnosed with Cervical Myelopathy following knee Surgery. She was driving at the time, but began missing the gears between shifts. Then she developed steering issues. I told her, you can't drive anymore, and she began to deteriorate to the point where she lost all her "Motor Functions" and I had to do everything for her. She ended her days in a "Nursing Home" and died 4 weeks ago. She was put on "End of Life Pathway" without either food or liquids, but lasted 12 days, before she Passed Away. We only went to her Funeral yesterday April 19. So, I Implore anyone who has these symptoms, Get Surgery before its too late.

2:51 Any answers? Guesses? Before I had surgery, a lumbar laminectomy for left buttock and leg pain (not neuropathy) tried lumbar epidural injections. Needle going in caused caused so much pain shooting right through whole length of sciatic nerve. But that resolved quickly and I was pain free for 3 months. But when injection wore off BOTH feet and legs became instruments of constant neuropathic pain and walking became impossible. No answer from surgeon, neurologist, pain management docs, massage, rest, exercise and stretches, icing, Icy Hot, and I don’t have diabetes or had treatment for cancer. I’m now 2 1/2 months post surgery (which I was hoping would resolve neuropathic pain) and 9 months post injections. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Does the immediate worsened numbness on my fingers from neck extension indicate compression of the nerve roots or Meyelopathy compression of my cord? How severe do symptoms need to get before surgery is recommended to prevent more serious cord damage? My MRI showed a reversed neck curve centered at C5-C6 and C6-C7 with moderate to severe canal stenosis and cord flattening, bilateral foraminal stenosis, and posterior bone spurs. My symptoms have been slowly worsening with numbness on my fingertips, neck pain and tingling between my shoulder blades, unsteady hands, balance issues, and positive Hoffman. Bending my neck back greatly aggravates the numbness on my fingers and neck pain almost immediately.

However I’ve been suffering for years since my early 20’s. The surgeons at Nottingham hospital, England say they can’t do anything for me. Can people have things done? I was one of the first group to have Harrington rods fitted but King Charles’s Dr. Now I can’t ever talk with a surgeon about my scoliosis. It would be wonderful if I could just talk with someone who could explain why they have written me off. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message. Very kind regards Charlotte B
