I’m a doctor. This is an excellent and accurate presentation. Here is my unsolicited opinion. I’ve had cervical stenosis requiring surgery for worsening bilateral pain, numbness and weakness in my arms. Treatment 7yrs ago correctly used traditional surgical fusion at C5/6 with a bone transplant, carbon fibre staple and removal of bony spurs using surgery from the front of the neck. It’s been very successful with complete removal of pain and most numbness, although not all my muscular power returned (don’t leave seeing a specialist too late…). I’m at risk of needing further surgery - not yet, but possible. Further traditional surgery would be more difficult, less likely to be successful and more likely to involve damage to my spinal cord, nerves and other structures such as my oesophagus (I’m English 🤣 and it means eating tube). This ultrasonic technique solves this worry for me. If I need further surgery, I will aim to opt for ultrasonic techniques if that’s suitable in my case (it likely will be).
Thank you for giving your personal,as as well similar, facts and opinions, I wasn't aware such a tool was available or hope to see you better,it was a good while before you had the fusion 7 yrs ago I assume, how long is
@@wf5398 I feel you BUT if physicians accept payments being Medicare it can carry prison term ... Shocking but true .. general public is never told what physicians go through ... Only profession in which reimbursement has been steadily decreasing while cost of living keeps increasing ... No other business or institution works on these flawed financials... Toyota was 10K in 1990 and physician reimbursement per new consult was $250 ... Now Corolla is 40K and reimbursement is $ 118... Four fold increase in cost of car .. based on that reimbursement would be 750 to 1000 instead it's gone down like Corolla then should now be selling for 2.5 K ... How can anyone survive after years put in and heavy loans not to mention personal sacrifices
believe that was an unfair comparison. The medical system in this country is getting more and more corrupt. I am a victim of the toxicity and mold of breast implants (yet I didn’t find out why I had to retire early from my teaching career because my brain wasn’t working, and the Sjogren’s I developed ulcerated my eyes so badly, I couldn’t read (not good for a ha English teacher!). All I heard from doctors was “It’s NOT the implants! They are saline!”, when I went to the ER because I couldn’t breathe. But what came out of me 2 months later, would make you gag! I lost SO MUCH ( like family, relationships, MONEY for out of pocket treatments and counseling) and 5 years after my last surgery to explant (where I contracted pseudomonas aeriginosa, and no one would believe me although the pain was indescribable, until my incision festered.) I am still not well. Now Lyme Coinfections have manifested from my weakened immune system, and I live with having had a stroke that affected my sleep cycles, and the pain is horrible. This is what I get for believing in the medical system 20 years ago! I’m on Medicare and my teacher’s pension supplement, but I wish functional medicine, Chinese medicine, and massages were available to everyone. PS, my adult, now disabled, son, whobhad the “vaccine injury”, Covid 3 times, long Covid now, terrible cervical instability that is the root cause (key word) of his unbearable headaches he’s had for 16 months, body pain, and mast cell activation. We cntvtakevhim to a regular hospital around us becyou can say “Lyme” in a hospital… It’s like saying “bomb” in an airport! Think about this when you see a doctor. I optimistically foresee a future where the two can become integrated, but that means a complete change if lifestyle, eating, surgeries, etc. Bet if luck to you❣️🙏💫
@@zionisthindurepublican7989 that’s where the system is BROKE and only doctors can change it. Instead of going with the grain start advocating CHANGE! We ALL DESERVE THE SAME MEDICAL CARE REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE AND INCOME! Why is someone with private insurance more valuable than a retired or disabled person on Medicare/Medicaid? Your logic leave majority of the population SCREWED! You got the haves and the HAVE NOTS! Our taxes & SDI/SSI & MEDICARE we pay into all our life is therefore a JOKE ON US! We work to where we can’t work anymore then we can’t get back to work bc if BAD MEDICAL CARE while the government spends our money in BULLSHIT STUDIES LIKE MATING FROGS! Lobby the government to make changes on behalf of Americans & stop being so selfish pocketing HUGE insurance payments! I have stenosis and this scares me. I can already feel my head being forced down but I’m in SSI so I get SHIT medical care. DOCTORS HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND CAN MAKE CHANGES FOR PATIENTS!
Dr. Cantor, I'm literally in tears while watching your video. I also watched your other video entitled "Deep Dive into Cervical Spinal Stenosis", and I have to say that both of these videos by far are the most educational presentations I have seen online and even on TV. I've searched high and low for materials such as yours because I have been diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis. You eloquently described the conditions, treatments, and surgical procedures in layman's terminology. I had cervical spinal decompression and fusion surgery almost 2 months ago in August on C5-C6 and C6-C7 and a structural support implant from C5-C7. Initially, after the surgery, much of my symptoms (tingling, needles poking at both arms, constant electrical shocks on both arms, and some of the neck pain) went away. Almost 2 months later the symptoms have returned, I would say to about 50% of what they were. The neck pain (nerve pinch) on the left side has returned back, and I would say even more prevalent than before. I can deal with the tingling sensations but the pain is so prevalent that I have to keep my head stooped constantly and adjusting and stretching to find a comfortable position-which I can never seem to find. Sleep is an illusive animal and the lack of it has eroded my morale and productivity. Your presentations have convinced me to reach out to you and your staff because I felt like there were no other options. I am looking forward to talking to you or one of your staff members. Please continue producing more informational videos. I am sure you will be touching many more lives-many of whom may be like me who are desperate to find help for their spinal conditions. KUDOS TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF!
Good luck! I am facing multi level surgery, which scares me now that i've seen the Doc's videos. The fact that you have had a return of symptoms, leaves me feeling like i will live forever in pain. You see, without any intervention yet, i already have permanent headaches, inability to rest peacefully, intermittent sleep, loss of feel and function. Fine motor skills are failing rapidly. If only my country had this technology readily available!
Me also , wish they was in my country, and this certainly is the best video by far, I also have damage to my cord, can’t sleep at night lost all quality of life, and have been let down by doctors badly 😒 especially now COVID has arrived , I’ve been pushed aside to suffer , hope you all get the treatment you need x
I had a fusion C3 - C5. My mobility is excellent. No loss of life style. Surgery was through the neck. I healed very quickly. My neck does not fall forward.
I'm due to have a similar fusion in a month :( Can you talk a more about what helped you get back on track any lifestyle adjustments what to expect etc?
@@shady2slow Well, it was 6 years ago and I am now 76 so my memory is a little rusty. I spent one night in the hospital. I wore a neck brace home and then for at least a couple of weeks after that. The reason they go through the neck is that the surgeon doesn't have to cut through so many muscles. It is less painful and you heal quicker. I couldn't drive for almost a month and I wasn't allowed to drive with the neck brace on. I was given pain medication, Norco 5 mg. 325 mg. I can't remember, but I probably only took it for the first week. I have a high tolerance for pain. I really don't remember making too many life style adjustments. I had physical therapy and learned to walk with my head held high. My son lives with me, so it was very nice to have someone available that first week. I am sorry my memory is rusty, but I must have felt pretty good after surgery because we always remember the tough times and not the easy. Good luck! Would you like me to pray for you?
@@michelemurphy7060 I very much appreciate your concern my brother. Everything went well, the first couple weeks were tough after surgery but everything is going well so far. I have a massive scar at the back of my head which is cool lol
I started at the University of Miami, I was diagnosed with several cervical stenosis, but they offered me traditional treatment, but after seeing Jeffrey's technique, I didn't get anything done anywhere else. Unfortunately dr Jeffrey is not in my insurance next world my is preferred care partners thanks you
I have been suffering the Spinal Stenosis for over 16 years now, having undergone two laser surgeries, multiple injections and a final 5 1/2 hour long Laminectomy that literally did nothing except leave a large cavity in my back due to the butchering and removal of bone. My bone density is too negative to have allowed any fusing, and informed that any further surgeries will be worse than any possible improvement. I refuse the opioids, and stick to the synthetic Tramadol at minimal intervals for prior relief, when working. So; I am now semi pain-free with the recent installation of an Abbott Spinal Stimulator. I sure wish that this procedure would have been presented to me before my last slaughter job, and affordable or covered by my insurance. This is great news for others. When your chronic pain results in clammy, fever like puking actions, it is time for repair. The Laminectomy has basically ruined my retirement years, but am extremely grateful for the Abbott Spinal Stimulator. All surgeons should be mandated to study and practice the most beneficial procedures for every patient, not solely practice of antiquated methods. Thank God for surgeons as this one.
I wish I would have known about Dr. Canter. But back when I went through all my Surgeries, 8 Total. They didn’t have this Technology. I have a Pain Pump and still taking high powered Pain Pills and can hardly move. I’m glad to hear Someone had some success.
Great job explaining the issue, traditional methods and this newer less evasive technique. I will be contacting you and your office to see if I qualify for this procedure vs. what my current neurosurgeon is suggesting from my local area here in South Bend, IN. Thank you!
Great video! I have done anesthesia for hundreds of the std treatment options. I am excited that this option exists and it makes much more sense to me than disrupting the structures like we have in the past!
Thank you for such a clear explanation! Question: presumably any bone you shave off will grow back. How long typically until the patient needs to return to have this done again? Also, I presume this technique could be done on thoracic and lumbar spine also? Thank you.
Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge and helping us understand more of the prognosis and treatment available.People like you are trully God sent.
This has showed up in my RU-vid Feed and I have never heard of or been diagnosed with Cervical Stenosis but I am having difficulty with my legs, walking, and standing on my feet and legs for more than 5 hours at a time .
just got diagnosed with the VA and they want to perform surgery ASAP. Knowing the VA, they may be sold on the 50 year old technology only and not approve this. Anyone know if the VA is on board with this procedure?? It seems amazing and I thank you for putting this on youtube!!
Different indications. Not real medical advice. But your surgeon could tell you. If you had a disc herniation it's standard from front. From the back u can only get to some places. This is just a shameless infomercial.
This is awesome to know. I have CS and its just beginning to cause me to have headaches and my range of motion is beginning to be compromised. I will be checking into this procedure and see if any surgeons in my area of S.W. Missouri are onboard with this yet. Thank you so much for this great presentation!!❤
Happy to help! We also treat patients from across the globe. If you’d like a second opinion or to learn more about our approach, visit cantorspinecenter.com.
Doctor Cantor, If someone has had spinal fusion in the past (that has failed & caused several additional surgeries)... could you possibly use cadaver bone/disks to replace the ones that wer cut out & fused (putting the patient back to a normal functioning spine)?
This was extremely informative and helpful. I have cervical stenosis of 7 and 8mm with pain, tingling and numbness in both arms. I hope I can resolve this issue with ultrasonic technique. I am in Los Angeles, CA and hope I find a Dr. who uses this technique. Thank you for this very informative video.
I wish you will contact Dr. Jeffrey C. I have faith on him. I pray that sooner you will be alright. 2013 I had a mortal accident. 2016 First surgery in Milan Italy, the diagnosis, cervical stenosis, brachial Plexus Compression, clavicle dislocated fractured, left side the 1st rib fractured dislocated intact on clavicle fractured, on right side 3ribs fractured and last my left arm paralyzed immediately after the impact. I was desperately because the reconstructive doctor cut my Subclavian artery and nerve compressed of clavicle fractured intact on the first rib fractured. He replaced smaller size of the Neuroplastic. Biggest mistake,2nd he cut a piece of muscle on my left cervical without discussing me first. After the surgery the second day I’m very ill than before . Still I cannot walk which I am expecting that I will be alright. Neurosurgeon were not presented who will do the surgery first my cervical stenosis, then the proceed to the brachial plexus compression and the rest of the diagnosis. In general that really changed my life style in the worsen condition. I became invalid and unbearable severe chronic pain than before. I am one of the medical malpractice. 2019 I went in Manila Philippines and PHILIPPINES General Hospital I met the my new Neurosurgeon and she is Chinese. Suppose 2018 my first consult her but I didn’t make it because of my invalidity processing in Milan Italy. I was operated on my Cervical spine stenosis last February 23,2019 and the surgery was successful. Thank God I walk again and again. I have already complained my worsen condition and she understood that I am very ill because of my face. After two weeks of my recovery she will proceed to reopen the surgery done here in Milan unfortunately I need to return in Milan because of very important my present but I rescheduled , Most important is my surgeries. Till now I don’t have any unbearable severe chronic pain on my cervical FINALLY. Thank you so much God she saved my life. The biggest problem I didn’t make it the second surgeries because of the mess created my private nurse. I was so mad, very mad because the nurse that I hired she scam me , my sister and my Mom. Until I lost connection of my Chinese Surgeon. I filed a lawsuit against that nurse. My Heavenly Father, I thought that I will return in Milan 101% in good shape again and again, I will have my job and my quality of life again and again will continue. Till now I’m suffering of respiratory problem because of the Neuroplastic didn’t change, swollen all fractured dislocated and my left arm still paralyzed. My vision and hearing condition continually worsen. Despite of my worsening condition I continue praying. I never and ever give up. I pray next year January 2022 I will have my surgeries to my Chinese Surgeon. She is my hero. Thank you so much guys for reading my long message. Be strong always and pray. God is always good to us. 🙏🇮🇹💫
Thanks for the great video. Your explanation of the pros and cons of traditional and new techniques. I have been told that I need a cervical laminectomy, but I have major risk factors that make such an operation even riskier than normal. Does your technique have a lesser impact on risky patients? If so, how do I find a surgeon who uses this technique vs conventional laminectomy? Florida is a long way form me to travel to from Seattle.

I had cervical surgery (2014)was done through the back of my neck three cervical vertebrae's with 3 titanium plates with two screws on each side. Surgery went okay and I am able to move my neck left to right up/down okay BUT I have been suffering with neck pain for all these years. The surgeon now wants to do fusion and I am against that. Is there still something that could be done Dr. Cantor ? Thank you for your time and I will be in contact with you soon.
Is this procedure applicable to lumbar stenosis? I have been diagnosed with sever spinal stenosis at L-3 and L-4 and L-5. I have done the steroids shots, also had the MILD procedure done with zero positive results. 3 weeks ago I had Stem Cell Regenerative therapy. No positive results on that as of yet but too early to tell. My next steps according to my doctor is fusion, which I do not want to do, I am 70 years old and an active farmer.
Thn u Dr. Cantor. Very informative video. U have given me new tlkn points with my Dr. I'm hoping for finally sum relief. I'm so tried of feeling pain. From my neck to my lower back & down both sides of my body.
Thank you so much for this in-depth description of the condition and surgery alternatives. Very recently got my MRI results. Between C3 and C4 also between C4 and C5 severe spinal canal stenosis. C4 and C5 there is a fissure, all with herniation needless to say I'm really scared about the diagnosis I see a neurosurgeon soon to find out my options I've had a forward-facing neck or dowager hump and have lost almost 2 inches in height, I've had the hump most of my adult life. I fell 2 months ago and broken arm. Because of the broken arm I got the MRI at least now I know about my neck and it explains so many of my symptoms have weakness

I'm confused by the last x-rays. #1 They're not the same individual. #2 The second image is enlarged if you look at the second cervical vertebrae you can see how much larger it is. I was hopeful in hearing this technique and I do think it's great. But someone that is educated on xray can clearly see spondylosis that is present on the anterior spine of the pre versus post is not the same. As far as the canal being larger the x-ray is enlarged. You had me following and listening but at the end there was a loss of integrity by the misleading pictures. I am a practicing chiropractor of 30 years and I always look for possibilities for the reversal of spinal stenosis. You were spot-on in your explanation but at the same time if you want professionals and peers to refer to you this does not create a trust.
Is the procedure covered by insurance? I have had 2 prior lower back L4, L4 S1 surgeries and I was told 3 years ago that I need fusion now. Can you help please?
My neck and spine have stenosis from an accident 40 years ago . I got thrown into the windshield of my car from a truck who was not paying attention. I was always very active and slowly I have gotten worse. Based on what I was told what the surgery would entail I declined surgery and now I am glad I did. Just wondering if Medicare covers thiis surgery?
@@DrJeffreyCantor I had a MRI today and seen a spinal surgeon to discuss options and he suggested fusion, screws, & rods....I asked about the ultrasound procedure you have shown, and he never heard of it, said it was quackery medicine!!! He pretty much brushed me off after that, told me to go to Florida then. I was so taken aback! He is associated with Tyler, Texas spine and joint hospital!
@@lindahiggins624 don’t go to a Dr in Tyler, Livingston, or any of these little Towns. I Live in Coldspring. Go to a Neurosurgeon in the Woodlands. There are some great Dr.s there. Mostly because everyone that lives in the Woodlands are Rich. So they have really good Dr.s that live and Work there. All these little Towns around here are full of Quacks…
I also have severe spinal stenosis from a wreck I was in years ago. I have been to several spinal surgeons in Tyler , Texas. They all just want to go in and shave the spurs off because they are pressing on my nerves so painfully. One of them said the surgery of operating on the spurs could very likely cause more nerve pain. But I could take Gabapentin. I told him I have had nerve pain for years and si have severe reactions to all nerve medication . So discouraged!!
I had an operation on my back a year and a half ago lumbar fusion L4 L5 area and three screws and put in it’s a year and three months later I’m in as much pain as I was prior to the operation what can be done for that
I had a double level cervical fusion a couple of years ago. I was hesitant because of the loss of motion, but I was told it was the best option. My neck curve was reversed and I had bone Spurs and impinged spinal chord. I couldn’t hold my head up, just like the X-Ray shown here. I was in my late 30’s and very active. I had no choice. I can hold my head up now, but I have a lot of nerve pain and have to have nerve ablations all the time.
This is sad that you still experience pain. I'm much older and extremely active, so I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm using a laser that helps with mending, but I know my condition is advanced. Did they ever suggest any prp prior to your surgery or was your condition too advanced for this treatment?
I have a neck hernia and it affects my right arm. I can go in the scan in februari. Here in Holland. But it takes so long. Wont this couse more dammadge?
I can not do a MRI because of an abdominal aortic aneurysm in my iliac artery in 2002. I now have a spinal cord injury from a horse throwing me off I can move my legs but I have no control over them my left leg is my weakest I have muscle spasms so bad it's almost unbearable even with my pain medication. Since I couldn't do the MRI a EMG and a myelogram were done. At first it was my feet swelling and I was told I'm diabetic then I went to the VA I have a pre-op in four days the 25th of May 2021 is there anything important I should ask And if I don't have the surgery can I get better with physical therapy or will I become quadrapelgc
Hi Mr. Cantor I am waiting to have another MRI on my back. I have reason to believe I have Lumbar stenosis my body is bent Forward from my waist. I cannot walk without my walking aide (although this makes my arms ache, as obviously I‘m trying to push myself up to a standing position.) I have been reading your videos on my laptop. And find them very interesting. I seem to have symptoms which leads e to think I may have stenosis, probably Cervical stenosis as well as Lumb
I am 43 male from Virginia and I have cervical stenosis. I got neck pain almost 15 years but last 6 years it got worse. I tried almost everything. Therapy, epidural, chiropractor, Acupuncture and pain medication nothing helped. What should I do now? Do you have any branch or affiliation in Virginia? Advise will be highly appreciated and grateful.
I know this is old video, I have C5-C6 C6-C7 compression, it is minor, I get stabbing pain in mostly right arm, neck pain, BFS in my calf muscles, sleeping is really difficult, as I need to be in a position that doesn't cause excess pain. I have had an MRI done, showing minor intrusion onto the spinal cord from possibly disc bulging. I am on the strongest pain killer, but it knocks me out and causes dizziness. Should I get this operation? I was told they need to remove the soft discs between the bones and do a bone fusion, is this necessary or will this new technic be of a benefit to me instead of fusion?
Dr, Cantor I had a motor vehicle accident in 2013, I have had 2 cervical fusions and 1 lumbar . I have drop foot on both feet and wear braces to walk . My neck and back is getting worse. I have many MRI,s and the Drs in SC are not addressing my herniated disc, nor my bulging, which is below and above the fusions. I have lots of nerve damage stenosis, djd spondylosis. My question to you is. Would you be willing to take a look at my MRI and see if you can help me. I would be willing to come to Fla to get relief. Suzanne
I have an osteochondroma in the L4-L5, I also have bi lateral scoliosis, this osteochondroma is pinching my spinal cord and there is a compression fracture in the same area, I've been to a surgeon and he says I can be paralyzed from the waist up if they do surgery to remove the tumor, I have been having symptoms of nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, muscles are weak and recently I have been diagnosed with vertigo, should I have surgery?
I am scheduled for surgery in two weeks. Was told any method of spur removal, causes bone regrowth at sometimes expediant rate....anytime you cut or grind, bone repairs itself by growing new bone. Hopefully I was told correctly... Informative video.
Dear Dr Cantor. This is so informative. I am in Mthatha Eastern Cape South Africa. It is such a pity that I am not in a position to have a face-to-face conversation with you. I was diagnosed with severe compressive discogenic right foraminal stenosis with compressive left discophytic foraminal stenosis at C6-C7 level. The pain is relieved through painkillers and my doctor suggested some surgical procedure which I am still thinking about since October 2021 when i had an MRI. Is there any way that i can get your email so as to be able to get more advice on this. Thank you . Faith.
Thank you for such an informative video. I have a question. Can this technique also help in the cases of Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Your reply will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
I was told years ago that i had degenerative disk disease … at 80, I have a lot of pain in my neck and back and I tend to fall if I’m not careful … is this the same as spinal stenosis that you are talking about❓
I am interested in having this done as I have cervical stenosis for years. It’s getting worse. I would like to research the company who makes this device. Can you tell me the manufacturer of this tool please?
I was just told by a local surgeon today that the only way to repair me would be to fuse all the vertebrae in my neck due to stenosis and/or arthristis. is your procedure covered by Blue cross blue shield?
What if you have natural fusions from Klippel Feil Syndrome? I am naturally fused except for c4-c5 and from overuse my only non fused area has a large osteophyte pressing on spinal cord and esophagus. So basically I only have use of C4-C5 and where my head meets the spine. I do not want to fuse the last cervical bones that help me move my neck. Can you still use this tool on me? I also have a syrinx (Syringomyelia) from C5-T-2. I sent my mri and cr scans to your office last week and will be traveling 12 hours to see you.
Hi there 7 years ago I had cervical fusion on c3.c4 and c6.c7 The doctor told me I will need more surgeries later on.as of now c2 has herniation c5 has estenouses and T1 as wll.having headaches nd have had many injections but not doing much L4.L5.S1 needs to be fused but I am so scared.i did have a trial of low ck estemulatore which helped with my leg pain.waiting for the insurance to approve the final step. I am really interested to get your opinion please.i am having a very tough time living with all of this pain
I was told I have a congenital cervical stenosis. Doctor is saying fusion but I’m oppose to the screws and rods. Will the ultrasonic technology work in my case? Thank you.
Dr... If from MRI report showed mild prolaped intervertebral disc at C4C5 and C5/C6 levels causing mild bilateral neural foramina stenosis. Spinal canal stenosis. is it serious or will become severe if untreated?
If you having those kind of symptoms of losing your ability to walk how long do you would you say that it takes for it to be completely set to where you're unable to walk?
In 2012, was the 1st time that my right arm was like being punched all over. Was diagnosed with C-6 herniated disk. It took 4 1//2 months before this pain went away. My specialist told me to wait until the pain returned before anything was going to be done. In 2016, I started falling down. It felt like my legs could not support me. It went on that I could barely keep my head up that I didn't know when I was going to fall. I found this video very interesting. In 2019 I got a C-5, C-6 and C-7 laminectomy. Now almost 3 years later, my right hand has remained numb and my neck very sore. My incision is really sunken in. In 2010, I had an L-3 and L-4 laminectomy. That really helped me a lot. I could barely walked for 9 years and finally the specialist noticed the way that I walked. The morning that I had my operation did me so much good. I was able to walk without pain after so long. In 2000, they found out that I had Thoracic outlet Syndrome. In 2005, I had my left 1st rib removed. I felt so good. In 2006, I had my right rib removed. I could barely use my right hand. There was complication with my operation that the doctor cut into my lung. I couldn't even hold a fork in my hand. This all happened to me since I was 42 yrs old with a very repetitive job and onward. Among with a cyst on my ovary when I was 18, two C-Section at the age of 21 and 22. Tubal ligation when I was 23. Now, I'm 64 yrs old and in constant pain. I refused to take narcotics because I was on 115 mcg. of Fentanyl and went to get off in 2016. Now the only thing that I take for this pain is, marijuana pills through medical marijuana. The rest treated with Diclofenac 5%, Lidocaine 5% and Gabapentin 5%. I'm also on 800 mg. Gabapentin at night. Thank you so much for sharing your channel. It was very clear. From Ontario, Canada
I'm currently watching with a painfully numb right hand and losing sensation ad use of 1st 3 fingers . Diagnosed years ago with foramanal stenosis..trying to be seen about it now
I have a Nerve Stimulator, the wires and Generator split apart. Now I can't bear the PAIN. I HAD IT DONE AT RUSH MEDICAL CENTER, HERE IN CHICAGO ILLINOIS. CAN'T GET IN TO HAVE SURGERY, DIE TO COVID19 PATIENTS. WHAT DO I DO???
Sir, my father has back problem, so you have to take treatment with new technology, are you attached to any hospital in India, will you pay whatever your fee is.
Dr. I will undergoing this surgery which has those with rode laminactomy actually is my nightmare. I do not know if u can accept accident case from another state. Because I want ultrasoniv surgery. Please let me know on yr comment how can I discuss this issue. Thank you. Hadar.
