I had L3 Laminectomy Surgery in July of 2022 and now I was having pain again and had a CAT scan done and now have a bulging disc L4-S1, I never intend to have screws and rods put in which is what they do with Spinal Fusion so I am looking into this. I'm happy for you to keep going even when you have no support, I'm 42 with four kids ages 26, 24, 22 and 20 at 42 and I am on Disability now and not because of my back but I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and it got to where I couldn't climb upstairs or do my job as a truck driver because of losing balance, cognition issues and strength issues and I am by myself and raised my kids alone but they are my support and I look to God throughout all my headaches in life and he is my rock I can always lean on, God Bless you and your family 🙏❤️

@@TreyDaze It's been about 5-6 years. I consider the surgery a success; however, I went back into surgery for an ALIF spinal fusion approx. 4yrs after the surgery. I am now about 33months post-op from that surgery and feeling super-human. Absolutely limitless. I made videos of my progress and updates, but I still browse other people's stories, which is how I came across yours. Again, love the positivity. Stay healthy.

Thank you for this! I am having L5-S1 Microdiscectomy in couple of weeks. I honestly can’t wait. Today I had to stop working because I literally can’t walk more than 2min without pain. This is my second surgery. I had 5 years ago L4-L5 terrible pain 24/7 for two years and that pain was gone after surgery. I was skeptical about second surgery but honestly now I can’t wait. Thank you for being inspiration. I hope this one will give me my life back. Because I am two months crying in bed. 😢

6 months here. Same surgery, same disc. I am not pain-free, but it seems like I'm slowly getting better. My biggest issue is I still can't bend without pain. Still mild nerve pain when sitting as well. It is somewhat discouraging when I hear all these success stories. Just wish I was normal again. I exercise every day. Walk every day trying as hard as I can.

I had the same surgery and a year or so later sneezed and re ruptured the disc, imagine the pain about 5 times worse. I was not even close to lifting weights or enjoying life. Ended up with a fusion and that is way worse than discectomy. Better but still fighting back and leg pain. Backs are so bad when they start going or disc exactly.

I can tell from the MRI she has a disc herniation at L5/S1 but waiting for her next visit with surgeon to tell her if she is going to have injections or discectomy. I am going to have her try injections first. They gave her a medrol or prednisone pack.

Seeing this video gave me some sanity back in my life with the incredible anxiety I have been experiencing with a pending microdiscectomy. I have been driving myself crazy asking is this the right decision, but I did the conservative route for an L4/L5 very large extrusion. Got to the point at 6 months where I could almost get back to normal. As soon as I got back to normal and increased activity The shooting pain and burning came back. This time I am having total leg numbness and unable to lift my toes when foot is flat. Was recommended surgery as the MRI shows the original herniation is actually larger and causing a lot of impingement on the nerves. I have been losing weight prior to all this and am currently down 95lbs with the goal to get back down to the low 200s. With the large herniation any really physical activity it appears will flair it up and put me out of commission for months at a time, not an ideal living situation for myself or especially my family. I am looking to get back to being active with my kids and your video gave me some confidence that it is possible! So thank you for posting this!

Hi Trey! Great, that this surgery completely stopped all the pain. I had problems a few years ago with pain on my right buttocks side going down my right leg, no accident though. I could not sit long anymore, and standing for a long time was painful too. I had scans, and even though it showed that I had L5-S1 plus a few other bulging discs, the 5 doctors I did consult all told me that this is age related, and wear and tear, no need for a Operation at all. The last doctor I consulted mentioned that it could be that the S1 compresses a nerve slightly, but that this would not amount to the pain I was experiencing. After a lot of physical therapy, and exercises I did on my own, but not really finding long term relief, a neurosurgeon suggested to try epidural a few times to ease the nerve pain. I decided against it, because he could not tell me that this would help 100 percent, plus, I have NO high pain tolerance, and unless you put me to sleep, there is no way they can do a procedure on me while I am wide awake. :) I still have the right sided nerve pain, but it has eased within the last year. I am curious (since your dad is in radiology) what he thinks about multiple bulging discs, and if they should be operated or not. Avoided surgery so far due to being scared of the operation, but also because the doctors tell me, it is not something that need to be operated on. Your story about the keyhole operation and how easy it was makes me think to perhaps pick up that topic again and just have a consultation with a neurosurgeon. Thanks for the video!

I had 4 or 5 of them. The pain was minimal, but they really didn't do anything. I stopped doing them. I have seen 2 surgeons other than my neurologist and neither one of them seemed eager to do surgery. After the flare up I had tonight I have to find someone that can give me some relief. I was on the floor doing my PT exercises because I was having a mild flare up. When I was finished I went to pull myself up and I was instantly knocked back down on the floor screaming in pain. I had to lay there for about 30 minutes with my wife doing everything she could to help. My hands went numb for a few minutes and I began to have uncontrollable tremors throughout my body starting with my left leg, almost like a seizure. I was also having spasms in my back and legs that with pain so intense it almost brought me to tears. I am 35 and have lived with back pain for nearly 15 years. It has always come in flare ups that happen by making the stupidest small movements, rarely from lifting something heavy. I have manageable constant pain an the flare ups come every couple of months. Most of the time I can still work through them, albeit it's very difficult. Once every year or 2 I have a really bad flare up though. This one currently being by far the worst. I have never been completely unable to walk until now. I have not really wanted to get surgery before because every doctor has said that the success rate would likely be pretty low. But I think it is time now. I will likely have to talk to a couple of new doctors to find one who will do the surgery and be confident in the results. I can't keep living like this. I feel like I have a very high pain tolerance, but tonight I felt like a scared baby. My body is completely drained. I finally was able to get up and sit in my computer chair which is always the best place for me when I am in pain. I don't even know if I can make it to the bed tonight or if I even want to. Sorry for the random rant on a comment that has little to do with this. I just started typing and it kind of got my mind off the pain for a few minutes.
