Thank you so much. I've been suffering since May 2020 and finally have an MRI scheduled this week. Now I have plenty of info to go into it with. Many thanks! 🙏

During my discography procedure, the doctor injected two discs with a powerful steroid . Both discs had tested positive to very very painful tears so the intervention-al radiologist felt it may calm the discs some. Which it did for approx five years where I was employed and relatively pain free with a normal life. Years later my pain and disability returned. In my experience, suffering an annular tear, dooms the disc to early degeneration and can cause life long back pain. So many practitioners claim to be able to help with annular tears but the evidence is out there that they are almost impossible to treat successfully. Dr Mork is one of the few people that know how disabling to ones health, annular tears can be. The lumbar spine is the Achilles heel of the human being

I want you to know the many lives that you have saved because these surgeons out here are putting metal in a patient's bodies and not telling them how devastating it can be to us. The clique to want to replace the disks I had an annular tear but the doctor completely disregarded the mei report. I had an annular tear with presents of fluid in a mass effect into the cord with complete flattening of my cord .. He operated and put a artificial disc in my neck and it ruined my life. Not only is my body's immune response completely forever destroyed, but I had to have the disc removed and now I have even worse problems as I have a bulging disc and the pain in my arm and legs is excruciating but I would rather die than let another one of these doctors touch me Dr Mork I wish I had been back in California when this happened and seen you you would have changed my life for the better

The physician who created the older, primitive procedure called “Discography” to locate patient’s painful discs abandoned discograms, recognizing they do not hold the value Dr Pauza’s annulograms do. Annulograms are performed under live visual guidance, allowing the physician to see where tears reside in herniated discs.

To remove fragments, you have to make a hole in the anulus fibrosus. Will this hole heal? Is it possible to "plug" it with fibrin or other sealant?
@DrTonyMork

Just heals by itself. Can’t plug it since too much pressure inside of the disc.

What has been your clinical experience with patients who, prior to seeing you, had a Discseel procedure in either lumbar or cervical region? Is there a reason why you don't offer Discseel? My understanding is that PRP will also heal annular tears. But as in my case, if you have a complete tear through (i.e., open or extrusion type herniation) then the PRP stand alone or with stem cells will simply leak out.
@DrTonyMork
7 ай бұрын
DiscSeel doesn’t address primary problem of free floating fragments inside of the disc. DiscSeel might work better after debriding inside of disc, surgery works better than DiscSeel. Might be a good idea to offer After surgery. PRP requires a blood supply to work, and not much blood supply inside of the disc.

In your experience, are most "symptomatic" toxic annular tears a result of trauma or an accident? Or can the also be a result of normal aging and "wear and tear?"

Nutrient supply to the disc is mostly provided by the end plates at 75% of nutrients. A new paper on examining the known correlation with iron overload and ddd comes to the conclusion that iron overload leads to end plate degeneration and cuts off the nutrient supply to the disc. They recommend iron chelation as a treatment option for degenerate disc disease Iron overload promotes intervertebral disc degeneration via inducing oxidative stress and ferroptosis in endplate chondrocyte, 2022 Also found a link between aging and iron: senescent cells are basically end stage cells whose job it is to soak up as much iron as possible and store it as ferritin, because ferroptosis is no longer an option (the iron has to be moved somewhere). That’s my conclusion anyways, not the authors. Iron accumulation in senescent cells is coupled with impaired ferritinophagy and inhibition of ferroptosis, 2018

If the combination of removal and stimulant by injection helps it to then heal itself, do you feel an ozone injection would possibly breakdown the dead tissues and stimulate new proteins and collagen to start a healing process as well? Or would the ozone cause a possible irritant to surrounding tissues if it leaks from the disc?

December 26th 2019 I felt a pop in my lower back and pain came on shortly after that. I had an MRI done February 22nd, the doctor told me that I have a 4 mm disc bulge with an annular tear. the pain has been going on for 5 months, when will I know that I have a toxic annular tear? From other videos and articles I read it takes a very long time for annular tears to heal, so when would I know if this is one of those toxic ones?

approximately 10 yrs ago I saw my Physical Therapy notes and it said I had an annular tear that showed up on a CT or MRI... Won't get into all the failed things we have done but I do have a cage and 6 screws from L3 to L5 and no horrible pain there. Either the CT or MRI showed I do have some fluid somewhere in all that mess and have bulging discs above and below sx site L5 to S1 severe spinal stenosis. My sacrum/coccyx are constantly nagging me with horrible pain...even on pain meds. Can that annular tear still be a problem after all these years? I met Jamie in Walgreens at Lake Havasu last night. I am sending you my latest CT and MRI disc's and reports.
