OhhhhMyyyyyGosh!!! You are truly amazing! I’ve been to a spine specialist/pain management and neurologist and they did not give me information you gave. I don’t know if they are just too busy or think the patients would not understand, but you are a wonderful doctor!!

@walterlefferts6297 2 года назад

@flyboyutahfoy8896 2 года назад

Yes he is great. My Doctors run a assembly line with overdone appointment notifications, and short minimal office visits and weeks delay in getting new appointments. Here we are shown the entire menu of non surgical options that give us a vision of their future steps before surgery.

@faridehlilimontakhab5699 Год назад

I agree a 1000% , Dr Su , is a magnificent and very caring physician with so much knowledge to share , just listening to two of his lectures I have learned exactly what is happening to my neck and spinal cord that in 10 months with all the test, X RAYs and MRIs and Biopsies, done , I was in total darkness about where I stand ! I am so grateful to him for sharing his knowledge with us ! God bless him !🙏🦋🕊☀️💯❤️🌷

Hello I know this video is years old but I have a question about some thing that wasn’t mentioned. I herniated between C6 and C7. My doctor said it was a bad herniation completely blocking off the white fluid space you were talking about. I had god-awful pain that was the worst I’ve ever felt in my life for about three weeks then I went through for two rounds of steroids and two epidural injections. I no longer have pain but I do have numbness in my pointer finger and about 15 to 20% weakness in my left arm maybe a little bit less. I’m slowly getting better it’s been five weeks my herniation looks similar to the one you showed For the Olympic athlete. My question is if I don’t have Pj anymore just the weakness and numbness what is the likelihood I may need surgery. It’s been three years since you released this video I’m not sure if you even around this Channel anymore But this has been the best Contant I have seen since I hurt myself and I’ve looked everywhere thank you!

@thomashumphrey7395 Год назад

This was very helpful and informative. Thank you. I have lived with cervical radiculopathy for years and it is life-altering and effin' torture. If it is severe and chronic enough it just gnaws away at you. You are constantly sore and tender, can't sleep, and ache to your core. Unless you've experienced it, it is very difficult to understand or describe to someone.

@Kauailove 11 месяцев назад

Hi Thomas this was an accurate way to describe cervical pain.. I too know about this unfortunately. Completely understand you. Im sorry your dealing with it. Will you ever do surgery and may i ask how old are you?

@debbierethwish450 Год назад

I'm so glad I found this site! This doctor knows his stuff. I had a pinched nerve in my neck and it was far and away the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. I'm 54. It was text book symptoms, all the way down my arm, complete with numb fingers and weakness. I did purchase the Saunders traction device and it works great. I kept hanging on to what he said. "I promise after 90 days you will feel better". He was right. About 6 weeks, it finally let up and got better daily. Now I just have a tiny bit of numbess but no pain. Thank Goodness!

@goldenlockets 8 месяцев назад

I’ve had worsening neck and shoulder pain for 5 and a half years now. I tried physical therapy and it didn’t help and gave up for a while. Four years ago, I tried again at a pain management clinic and was completely dismissed and demeaned. I gave up. I decided to bring it up with my current doctor two months ago and, in that short time, got an X-ray, MRI, cervical radiculopathy diagnosis neurology consult, and now have a cervical epidural scheduled for two weeks from now. I wish attentive doctors like you were more common. I could have been saved from years of chronic pain that persisted every second of every day if someone had just listened to me.

Hey I love the time and effort put into the videos In Middle School someone fell on my head when I was sitting down and I felt like pins and needles were coming down my arms. Over time the pain went away but even now when I bend my neck back I get numbness and a prickly feeling in my arms. I never understood what it was but your videos have given me a lot of clarity. Still don’t know if I’m truly recovered now at 22😅. However I definitely feel like I understand my situation better so thank you 🙏🏾

@annipsy2185 Год назад

Im just here to say, as a young person that has gotten this many times due to inactivity and bad posture. Physical therapy/stretches you do at home, works wonders. My lazy ass just stops doing them. Im also here to mention how bad they can hurt, sometimes over the counter meds are like nothing for that pain....what i found helps me is like various rubs, like tiger balms etc

I'll finally see a neck specialist on Nov 15th. It's been pretty terrible and I'm hoping to regain my life someday soon! Prayers for anyone else out there struggling with this.

@psrwhite 2 года назад

Thank you for your description of how the pinched nerve in the neck can cause pain in the shoulder blade and arm. I know I have cervical stenosis but never mentally connected the pain in my shoulder and arm as coming from that pinched nerve in my neck. It makes total sense and I now understand why I am having so much pain in my shoulder, arm, and neck. Thank you for your excellent videos.

@julietb5678 Год назад

Thank you for a great video. I have cervical stenosis and had radiculopathy last year. My physiatrist prescribed prednisone and physical therapy and that combination took care of the pain. After seeing a couple of your videos I have subscribed and look forward to watching the rest.

@BoomerBlogging Год назад

Thank you, Dr. Su. When you are a sufferer of neck issues your channel is a very welcome and comprehensive source of knowledge and clarity. My case is somewhat unique in that I have cervical stenosis (arthritis bridging & herniation) and Dystonia (cervical). The docs here are reluctant to operate in that muscle spasms from the Dyastonia "could" hinder the healing process and recovery outcome. Make a perfect trifecta by adding in TMD of the TMJ (focus of ground glass dysplasia in the neck of the left TMJ) and I am pretty much ready to throw in the towel. I am really not complaining (believe it or not) because I have had 60+ years of relatively good health and realize that in life you just have to play the ball where it lies!

This is so informative. I was in terrible pain and had to hold my right arm in air. I got an MRI and was diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis. They treated it with the steroid pills over the course of a week. The pain subsided over time with now some slight numbness in point finger and middle finger and a creaky neck. Surgeon did recommend surgery but he was looking at mri during a video call. I’m going to get a second opinion. Watching your video I think I will try physical therapy first unless my symptoms get worse. Thanks for this video.
