Sheila’s Story of a Microdiscectomy with Dr. Vanderheiden 

Pl guide me. Is the patient sedated( unconscious) during surgery or he is aware . How much does it pain while it is being done.. Herniated disc is being cut and removed. ( during endoscopic Discectomy)

@@ssgmail3239 No pain due to proper anesthesia. I do believe that anesthesia needs to covered by insurance, but I could be wrong. Generally speaking, you would be unconscious for this type of surgery.

@@brehbreh68plus18 a doctor I consulted 2 years ago has done more than 12000 surgeries and he does it without putting patients down.. Even talks and makes them bear pain 😖😫 during the 30 mins process of endoscopic surgery. That is the reason.. I have been avoiding surgery under him though I know he is one of the best in India. Huh! The patients usually moan and all during process but later on every one says it was like a normal root canal process. I am hence searching for someone who can do it while I am unconscious. Still searching some Dr who has same set of skills but does it under sedated mode

@@ssgmail3239 I truly hope you find someone. That is unbelievable that he doesn’t sedate for this type of procedure. It is not like a root canal. Trust me, I’ve had I believe 2-3 of them, and my back surgery was much worse feeling afterwards than a root canal.

@@brehbreh68plus18 thx for taking time out.. I posted same question to 50 people.. Only you and one more person has replied .. Atleast now I know that their are processes where patients are unconscious during process. Thanks again

How is it now? Can you lift again ? Do you have any symptoms?

How are you now?

Wishing you the best in your treatment!

I just got my surgery, I’m 6 days post and I feel great !

Im one week cant walk more than ten mins… cant sit more than thirty or pain is bad…how cool for her though. Feel like need to step up my game after this video lol.

@@mgyummycake I had one hour walk and I feel great.

I can relate and I also heard same noise and pain twice. I guess those were the exact timings I had L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc protrusions. Still living with on-off conservative life with/without pain for last 3 years. Avoiding MISS ( Discectomy) as I met one freshly operated patient and he said it did hurt him a lot while herniated discs were being cut and removed. Huh! I wish I had not met him. My Dr has experience of more than 6000 surgeries but I don't know why he always does it with local anaesthesia and doesn't want to make patient unconscious during the process. What about your surgery?

​@@ssgmail3239Are you still trying conservative therapy? I've been managing for 2.5 yrs on and off and sometimes consider surgery.

I too am in a similar situation. Have you made the move for surgery? I had an injury 10 years ago in the gym and am still suffering to this day. It’s at its worst other than when it first happened. Haven’t had mri yet but I am sure it will reveal herniated or bulged disc. I can barely walk today.

@@jason91205 i just got my surgery. 10 yrs is awfully long. If u can get it, why not.

@@mgyummycake have an mri Monday. Slowly making my way towards it.

@@mgyummycake Your reply will help me alot : Post surgery how many days will it take to lead normal life ??

Try 800mg ibuprofen its relief intill you can find a doctor that can help you and my advice don't make a habit of taking it everyday ✌️

Glad to hear your recovery is going well!

We're glad to hear it went well!

We hope your surgery went smoothly!

Wás it the same doctor or someone else

How are you now

@@SanjaySingh-qt3rm Hi John a lot better still have a numb foot and a lot of muscle twitching I am just taking it easy untill I see my follow up appointment in a couple of weeks.

How are you now? I really need to know your status of post-surgery pleaseee

@@raniaputriluthfizain7402 hello , I am still having problems with my back post surgery although they removed the ruptured disc my original trigger pain still exists which is forward flexion one month I'm okay and the next I am not .

Why you didn't go for endoscopic diskectomy?

I was in pain constantly as well for a year. But it had started years prior. Don't worry lol, I wasn't able to do 2 miles that fast either.

Hey bro! How did it go?

@@childofgodlove2875 surgery was successful. No more leg pain! I’ll say it eliminated about 75% of my back pain (still have to take it easy), but I’m MUCH better! Thank God 🙌🏼

U think its a good decision?

How much did the procedure cost?

@@childofgodlove2875 fortunately for me, I had medical insurance through the local job & family services, so I didn’t pay anything out of pocket. And absolutely yes it was a great decision if you’re experiencing anything of the this nature. I was disabled for years and couldn’t work and needed a cane just to walk around. So for me, it was a great decision!

yes normally people can do that 3 month later.some will take longer time. Don't believe in this video

Definitely helped that she was so physically fit before hand, im 20 and even I’m not as active as her 😂

I went back to work & my normal routine at the 6 week point .I was feeling amazing, so much better than the literal agony of life pre op so I thought I was OK to proceed. 11 months later......I just had my second op. I know everyone is different but take your time and don't be hard on yourself if you don't hit personal goals.

Do it. It's 100% worth it. Easy and will return your life to normal.

Hi bro, I just had mine done. Same issue as you and trust me immediately after the surgery I felt no pain and I was able to walk the following with a sigh of relief. So just do it! You won’t regret your decision.. all the best bro... 🍻

Same I'm scared but I'm going in for a second consultation the end of this month.

Hello! How are u doing now?

@@van6775 were you made unconscious during the surgery or you were made to talk during surgery and did it pain while they were cutting disc Fragments

@@ssgmail3239 yes they will make you unconscious and when you regain consciousness you will no longer feel the pain but you will gain weight post surgery due to the medication. However , we can get back to shape once the doctor approves that we can working out

Update plz

@@jake9849 it went really well I was walking the next day. there was really not much pain at all

Hey sammy! Whats the cost of the procedure?
