Can you recommend anyone in Nc for me? Five years with stenosis,did mild procedure,15 spine injections , pt, massage , chrico. You name it I’ve done it. My neurologist said there’s nothing else he can do.
I was in a wreck 2 yrs and my lumbar is fused at age 11 from scoliosis, I have had my life ruined since wreck I can’t walk/stand up straight longer than 5-8 min, my lower half of body goes completely numb the only way to describe it is if you’ve ever ran and you push yourself to where your legs feel like jello or noodles , I know I need something and the chiropractor I was sent to after wreck was a joke and actually made it worse and I don’t have insurance but I can’t live like this
Can you do a laminectomy with minimally invasive procedures or Ultra minimally invasive? Thoughts on how well 84 yo’s do with laminectomy. My dad has mod-severve stenosis at L3-4; L4-5, with increasing weakness walking. Has some mild vascular issues but vascular surgeon says good enough blood flow.
I read online that people over 70 or 80 are less likely to get back surgeries due to their age and risks, but I am just a lay person, I have back pain Im 52 and just read your comment, so you might want to research that, but endoscopy is more minor than a full back fusion surgery so I really don't know, you should call Dr Dermans office and ask them directly for the best answer.
