cara... são tantas lembranças que vem na cabeça de uma vez só, eu vivi meus melhores momentos com esse jogo e tá ate hoje em minhas memorias. Sempre irei buscar como jogar esse jogo, vou até o inferno se for possível mas vou encontrar, no mar ou na terra ou nos céus. você sempre será especial pra mim. Te amo meu carteiro
In 2019 I had L4-L5 microdiscectomy, that gave me my life back, it was right leg sciatica 24h for years, I developed gastrointestinal problems because of the medication I was taking. My L4-L5 is awesome. Now a months ago I started having a pain in my left leg and now it’s like a nightmare I did MRI, severe herniation on L5-S1. I haven’t ever had stereoid injection. I am very scared I hope it’s gonna work, I can’t stand for more than a minute without a terrible pain. These two months were nightmare for me. I don’t want to have another surgery but I am absolutely open if injection does not help. You have to trust your surgeon. If I go back 5 years ago I would go surgery again, gave me life back. Everyone says CORE strength is the key, I haven’t listened but I hope after I recover this time I will.This pain is so exhausting mentally and life is so beautiful. Why to suffer like this. ❤️🩹
The injection you described is an interlaminar injection. A Transforaminal injection is done along the side of the spine near where the nerve roots exit from the spine. So glad you had good results. I had my L4-L5 transforaminal epidural 10 days ago. Pain is less but not completely gone but certainly manageable with meds.
I’ve thrown out my back (probably herniated but not confirmed by mri) more times than I can remember. Once you do it for the first time it gets easier to screw up your back. Be careful of your posture, stand instead of sit whenever possible, avoid heavy weights that put the load on your back.Just look at what happened to Ronnie Coleman, the bodybuilder. I would also suggest the book back mechanic. I think it’s by stuart mcgill. Also us tough guys need to listen to our bodies. If something hurts, don’t try to push through the back pain. Stop immediately. That’s what got me. I was trying to suck it up and not be a wimp in the moment and now it looks like I get to suck it up the rest of my life.
Factors influencing success: Severity of herniation: Smaller, contained herniations tend to have better outcomes than larger, extruded or sequestered ones. Duration of symptoms: Early intervention, typically within 6 months to a year, leads to better results. Underlying health conditions: Age, smoking, obesity, and other health issues can impact healing and outcomes. Surgeon's experience: Choosing a qualified and experienced neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon is crucial. Post-surgical rehabilitation: Completing physical therapy and adhering to activity restrictions post-surgery plays a vital role in long-term success.
Toronto here... I am getting a NEW MRI soon, and am going to see if a Private Clinic in Montreal or U$ can do this for me.... WHERE do you live, WHERE did you get this Procedure done? I will have to pay for this out of pocket.
I had Lumbar Ablation in Toronto July 2023, didn't work... I have bad low back pain and Sciatic pain 24/7 getting an Epidural next week Jan 30. 2024.... hoping for relief. 57, here...my goodness you are young to have had this pain! Hope you can update your Back Journey here.... sometimes this stuff is just Genetics... I am in good shape... athletic but hitting a brick wall with pain.
Glad your surgery was successful! How long before you were back up and walking? I have this same surgery at the end of the month and then a cruise in mid February. Hoping I don’t have to cancel my vacation!
I had my microdiscectomy done two days ago. Of course every case is different but please do not expect that the pain will just go away. I can see some people making statements like that when researching the topic on the web. I do still feel pain caused by sciatic nerve as it has not fully recovered yet. The nerves take more time to heal than muscle tissue. I do feel the muscle pain in my back but not to the point of it being unbearable, so I’m avoiding painkillers now that I’m home. I was getting metamizol in my IV and some ketoprofen pills right after the surgery and on the next day (If you are in US I hope they don’t hit you with some opioid based junk). As far as movement is concerned, I was walking on the very day of my surgery but very slowly and not a whole lot, pretty much going to the toilet and back to bed. You need to be careful with how you get up from the bed and lay down on it. I got the whole list of instructions on what to do and what not to do. I’m sure they will provide you with this info in the clinic. If I were you, I’d honestly cancel the cruise… I’m in similar situation where I had something planned for mid February and decided to postpone it until at least April. Take time to rest after the surgery, take baby steps first (literally and figuratively) and get a good physiotherapist when you’re ready for it. Then book a cruise and enjoy it to the full extent. If you have any questions, please message me. Take care and good luck!!
Do you remember how big (in mm) was you L5-S1 disc herniation (protrusion)? I was diagnosed exactly with the same thing, 7mm, MRI technician asked me to stay after the MRI and told me it's important I don't wait for 'description' or mRI but just immediately go to consult the professors what to do, I went, and had prepared many questions about what I can do and what not, but first words of prof was 'consider a surgery' (and the same prof didn't push at all for surgery my friend who was in far worse pain). I was quite in shock. But at that time I was already in UPWARDS trend, improving every week, just because I KNEW exactly was caused by problem (horrific position with computer), stopped it 100%, and even reversed it (new position is kneeling forward, exactly like physio's recommend to exercise, so to me it's not an exercise I just do it ~ 10 times per day for few minutes). Results after about 3 months of my ordeal (actually since a month I wouldn't even call it ordeal anymore) are more than satisfactory and I'm optimist for further improvement. I walk without a limp already (though still not a 100% definitely). Not taking any risks in the gym (no any overhead lifting etc), but doing everything else. My personal advice (I'm NOT any medical professional!!) to anyone dealing with spine problem: identify what is exact CAUSE of the problem in your case, and eliminate it totally.
I’m glad I studied herniated disc , bulging disc and sciatica. I had no clue where my pain was coming from. I would hear what the problem was but I had no vision or image of it. Now I’m clear on the problem. The market is full of things to help your back that do not work. For now I’m exercising my back muscles more than any other muscle. I’m Also eating foods that can help with inflammation. Knowing how to eat helps with pain. Let’s see what happens from now to a year later.
I played this game on my dad’s computer with dial up internet in the late 90’s early 2000’s. I can’t even remember if it was like the AOL homepage or what that it originated? Not sure, but I loved it and waited a long time for the dial up to work to play it lol.
I feel you brother, I got L3-4 disc bulge which caused consistent pain on my lower back, even when sleeping😢. I suffered tremendous mental problem, thinking about ending this life, but after a few days, that thought is kinda gone. And im happy seeing people like us talking online! It helps a lot🎉. I hope it'll heal like you did. And to brothers and sisters who's suffering from disc problen right now: Don't lose hope, we are here with you!❤
Today's date is 10/14/23. How are you doing and feeling now? My sister's husband is trying to convince me not to do the microdiscectomy which is in 5 days. I'm not doing well and my L4 L5 disc has been bulged since August 7th. Do you have any regrets? Was it successful? Please advise. Thanks!
Did you find anything else out? Man I’ve been going on 6 months and I just herniated another in my neck but my back is unlivable so much pain but I’m worried after that surgery 5-10 years of problems I have a issues with my s1 and 2
My surgery was a 100% success!!! I have zero regrets. Finally I have my life back. I was only able to walk in sandals before the laminectomy & microdiscectomy. Physical therapy starts after my 1st in person follow up appointment with the surgeon on 11/29/23. Initially, there was some slight electric zap pain and foot numbness, however, day by day it's disappearing and now I have the leg strength back with MUCH better balance. The surgery seemed like it was 10 seconds. The hardest part is not having the ability to smoke/dab weed/concentrates which REALLY helps with sleep. Smoking delays healing and can JEOPARDIZE the whole surgery. The longer you wait, the longer it takes to heal after an operation like this. Why? Because the nerve is compressed longer, thus a longer healing time. The hardest part is watching a 80 year old lady having more mobility in a Balance of Nature commercial than yourself because you cannot bend, lift, or twist for weeks. And no sleeping is allowed on your stomach-I'm a stomach sleeper so I use cannabis edibles but I really miss taking 1 dab to feel that Mike Tyson knockout blow to chill out and naturally pass out!
@@jeffhieracan you elaborate on the smoking delaying healing? Thanks. Just got a L5-S1 discectomy last Friday and I think the nerve blocker is wearing off 😭 in a whole world of pain and I miss my greens. Taking oil atm
Half hour after injection the area is steal numb Half hour after the injection you not think of make a video Half hour after injection too soon to tell Bit lie there ????? Those injection not working instant
Try surgery , you young people have early back issues I wonder why ? I hear lot in USA young people rush to have surgery so easily and ruining them self more for life Surgeon In USA they must be very reach operate young people
Thank you! Listening to you, you almost exactly describe my results. Wow, I was wondering if all of this pain was normal. I am receiving a call from the surgery center that preformed my injections. They are going to call and see how I am doing. So I have been waiting for this one week call to ask all these same questions. Before I forget, I am 61 yrs old and delta with this pain or one year. So, you have put my mind at ease as far as the progression. Thank you again!
I had L4-L5 epidural steroid injections done 2 weeks ago and it didn't even help so now I need surgery done. I have a herniated disc and a small tear in the nerve and what caused this problem and I was rear ended 6 months ago and I was hospitalized overnight observation just incase I needed a blood transfusion or emergency surgery because I had internal bleeding and liver lacerations.
I had the exact same injection, but I was asleep for it and afterwards I was so doped up from the anethesia I slept most of the night. Next day I was fine and did not have your pain. I wonder if it was so bad because you were awake. WOW! Your reaction is why I was put to sleep.
I slept through my, too. I just had it on Monday. The only problem I'm having is nausea and bloating. But my pain level is a lot better. I am glad I had it done
How can you know for sure that the shot is good for you. I seem to have a problem as well that affects my back and legs. They are talking about the injection but I don't even have an exact diagnosis. I can only walk a half block without pain.
I can definitely agree. I’m on my day 10 of recovery and I was walking fine on day 7. No nerve tightness or pain, some painless spasms because I was caught off guard by a sneeze, did have that stiffness but that’s just the bone healing. All in all I’ll expect myself to be back to running within a month and gym within 3. Will definitely take it easy and let the the disc heal along with toughening the bone but had no pain apart from the stitches healing but my wound closed in 5 days and I showered on day 5 too. Just don’t bend your back and walk everyday to your tolerance and increase your walking thereafter. After your first sleep, it’ll heal your wound faster than lying down.
Very sorry about your back, can you give us an update on the sitch? Can I also get episode 47 of Pokemon Heartgold been waiting 7 years staring at my computer the entire time in anticipation...?
My story is similar to yours. L5/S1 disc issue. My heels/feet absolutely kill me every day at work. Getting my first spine shot in 3 days. Praying it does something.
how did it go? I've been dealing with an L5-S1 disc bulge nerve root impingement for 4 years now and just got a diagnosis finally, so many doctors couldn't tell me what was wrong. I'm 27 now and going for my epidural steroid injection next month with UHealth, super excited. I haven't worked full time since march 2020 with this injury.
@@Noseyy well for the first week my back was sorer than it was before. I guess the actual steroid can put pressure on your nerve and trigger more pain. But eventually my body absorbed it and I started feeling better. By the 2nd week I was feeling a little better than I was before I got the shot. I noticed I didnt need my heated back brace every night anymore, so it seems the shot helped.
@@trevorm3181 Wow, sounds like you need a new Dr. How could they misdiagnose that so badly. Glad they didn't do surgery and then find out it wasn't your spine. Glad they got it figured out.
Thank you do mych for your video. You bring so much hope. I had my first epidural 6 days ago and today the pain got worse and I lost all hope till I listened to you. I hope it gets better soon.
I’m a little over 2 months with my L5-S1 herniation, I think I need to try this I was scared bcuz I heard it can make it worse. I hope I get relief like you.
Does anyone know how to heal the pain, it's been nearly 2 years and the pains just spread thoroughout my body 😫 I've tried various painkillers, various gels, heat patches, hot water bottle
I went to see a physical medicine guy at Kaiser. And he is not too keen on these injections but he's encouraging me to do more acupuncture. And injection was last resort. Did you experience any side effects or problems?
