Thank you for this great info Dr.
Judo that in to your schedule! Lol A lot of great info thanks I know this old video. But I’m 4 days post two level neck . Thanks
Thank You Sir for this
Chin tucks sent me into a 6 month flare and became bed bound so it can cause more damage if you have neck issues already.. Had foraminal stenosis and 2 herniated discs.
What about nicotine vaping?
I I had a neck infusion i was in hosputal 3 days due to heanatoma in neck which they drained 3 times but was still swollen .I still have hard lumps. I work as a community carer so do alot of driving plus the care .I work along shifts 7 am to 21.30 with a 2 hour gap .Its a physical job and I already have fatigue due to a blood condition and suffer nausea and dizziness. I also have osteoporosis in lower and upper back and hips .How long do you recommend I have off work .I had op through throat
I had ACDF on Tuesday morning, Sent home late Wednesday. Couldn't swallow Thursday, called the doctor, Couldn't swallow Friday. Spoke with the Dr. who siad it was inflamation. Could not swallow pain killers or muscle relaxants. Or a teaspoon of water. Could not reach Dr. weekend. Emergency Room early Monday morning - immediately Cat scan. Large Hematoma was completely blocking esophagus. 5 doctor meeting. 1)more Surgery, 2)radiology procedure with a stint - quite dangerous, or 3)steroids. Steroids was chosen I had NO water for five days and no food for 9 days. I lost 20 lbs in 9 days. First days of food was cup of jello and apple sauce. 5 weeks later I still have eat very small bites and slowly. I am a singer. I have no voice. Failure to monitor drain properly. 1% risk for this procedure.
Hy to not take...
What about going to a chiropractor?
Anybody diagnosed with Occipital Neuralgia after their ACDF? I was in 2019 but I felt the symptoms six months after
2 weeks after c6/c7 fusion and I was back to work. I work in dental and I have degenerative disc disease. So I'm screwed either way.

Doctor I've been putting off acdf surgery for 5 years I am in excruciating pain I'm 67 years old so I think it's going to take me longer to heal what do you think
My mother and I are type 2 diabetics and we've been doing this for several years without it raising our blood sugar with brown rice, potatoes , pasta, the starchy foods and without oil. I believe it is the cooling that changes the starch into resistant, but that isn't scientific. It's from my own testing and finger prick blood test after.
Sir I had a ACDF 7 months ago..all was going well but from last 10 days I have pain in my neck and upper back..when I talked my surgeon he said it will pass away with time..becUse my nerves getting setteled.but I'm worried ..pls any one tell me that is this happened to him??
When can I ride motorcycle
Great information to understand what we need to be doing as patients. Makes me more aware of my limitations and what I need to do to make modifications. Thank you !!
😰🏨😨☹️🏨😕😷🏨🤒😮💨🏨😬 So a few wks ago I twisted my ankle 🟡Week1: Rested ankle, got ankle brace, soaked in Epson salt and cold water 🔴Week2: Took otc Ibuprofen /Tylenol, did home therapy at home and soaked in water 🟢Week3: Saw foot doctor and was diagnosed with Planter Fasciitis. He prescribed Candatis Medrol. I followed the 6 day regiment perfectly. ⏩️Day 3 I woke up wth soar right thigh Did morning stretch and it went away ⏩️Day 4 woke up with light soarness in same thigh. Did stretches and it went away. ⏭️Other than that I see no difference in my ankle and it still hurts when I walk. The only thing that got better with me standing on my right leg for a long period of time it doesn't hurt anymore. My doctor offered the injection versus the oral pills. I wonder should I have chosen that for better efficacy ☹️😕⁉️❓️‼️😰😡🤒😮💨
They stop your brain from growing new synaptic connection Look at the study by Stanford
Don’t do it you will want to kill your doctor for hurting you
These are great tips, thank you; I like the way you present the information! Would you please do a series on aftercare for PCDF? Specifically, ahem, C3-T1? Thank you again!
I was only given paracetamol post op 😕.
What planet area you on… withdrawing from this is hell
Taper up? Did mean to say titrate? Edit: Video is about done... If you're a real doctor, I truly feel sorry for any patients under your care.
Can i still ride motorcycle? Using helm and be in tuck mode with sport bike? Back in race track.
Had surgery 2 times c1 c2 c3 c4
I had suddenly Experienced numb & weak hands then shooting pain down both arms. A year after being rear-ended three different times at high speed. Mri found I had cervical myopathy, bone Spurs etc pushing on my spinal cord and needed surgery immediately or the damage could get worse. I had ACDF surgery c4; c5, c6 three years ago. Had lots of physical therapy afterward. It’s been three years and I feel worse. Both my hands are completely numb tingly I still get shooting pains down both my arms sporadically I can’t lift anything I can only raise my arms right above my head, my right leg bad, now drop foot So I have to look down 24/7 so I do not fall. I probably could go on and on but my iPad battery is getting dead. Oh on top of all that my sciatic nerve is pinched about six months after surgery I can barely get out of bed in the morning from the pain. I don’t know if that’s associated with the surgery but I never had sciatica pain before. Right after physical therapy then Covid hit so I haven’t did anything in two years which probably doesn’t help but I feel worse than before the surgery. I actually got on RUclips just to see if there was any neck exercises I could do or somebody could help in some small way
Idiot has No clue. Hell lets take more or wait?? Less🤣🤔🤔🤔🤪🤣
Thanks
I must have had a quack. No therapy, no mention of therapy. It's been almost a year and still extremely painful. Had a MRI two weeks ago an the Dr. said everything looked good. Wouldn't address why I still have a large amount of pain. Five minutes on my feet and I'm in serious pain. Still can't tilt my head back at all.
Omg no. I’m having surgery next month. Are you able to work?
6 days since my C3/4 ACDF, and I'm back in the office working. Plenty of rest up until today and an icepack on the neck did wonders.
Pregabalin withdrawal is a living hell. I cut down from 150mg to 100mg in a week. I ended up jerking and twitching involuntarily for over and hour . Stroke like symptoms also. I take it for nerve pain. I want to cut down 10mg at a time. I've never been a drug user. So much respect for anyone who has overcome any drug addiction. I don't know how you did it. I am very strong willed but Pregabalin is a nightmare to taper off.
if you have been on it for a long time , probably it is best to cut down 100 mg per week. Sometimes withdrawing in a week ( as indicated by manufacturer) is too fast
So true . Even if your doctor advises a tapering regime, we're all different. I cut down too quickly. So scary, and i don't frighten easily. Please be careful🌺

How would I reheat the rice without a microwave I have a stove do I add in water again?
When the dentists go back to their jobs if they had a ACDF surgery?
There will always be idiosyncratic reactions to medication - even herbals. That's why YOU are part of your healthcare team, feeding back data when you have some. If you have concerns, share them, and monitor your own condition. This guy is giving sound FREE advice and he is letting you know you can experience side effects that might concern you. Trust your team.
Trust yourself also. Completely agree that all medications have side effects. But Pregabalin tapering is hell on earth for many of us. There was is nothing idiosyncratic about Pregabalin side effects. For many, it is very helpful .
Don't take this medicine. Don't trust any doctors. Do your own research.
Prescribed this for a sinus infection. I developed steroid psychosis, didn’t sleep and paced the floor for a week, and had blood pressure spikes. I was in and out of the er. Took me 4 months to get back to normal. Horrible experience! Terrible stuff
Wow. So sorry to hear. It was a disaster. It gave me extensor tendonitis on both feet and now my tibia is aching n cramping. They gave me an iv of 125mg at the er for an allergic reaction where i broke out rashes. But first five days i had anxiety, low grade fever, neck stiffness (which i get sometimes now) high blood pressure, high heart rate, heart palpitations. All of that left except foot problem and neck stiffness
I'm glad I read your review of this cause I was having gut feelings about taking it
what about the occasional cigar??
This is a horrible medicine. Just as addictive as opiates. I had an awful reaction to them. I stopped cold turkey or I would have had to go to the hospital because it made me clinically depressed
Two friends warned me not to take it, as it also made them extremely depressed. Are you alright now? Cold turkey, that must have been horrible.
Dose it really work.
Is this guy for real
would peanut oil work?
I tried this for back pain after TKR . It works!!!
My doctor doesn't want see me until 6 weeks after. I think this is kind of too long
The same with mine. 3 fused discs. His ratings and reviews were very good. I am 3 weeks out. Still have numbness in right hand and left arm and hand. Some new pain and soreness between shoulder blades. Much better that what I was before surgery. Good luck to you.
Hello friends wanted u to know that getting an x-ray super early isn't helpful because there is too much inflammation. Healing is still happening so they can't see proper clear and numbness is just annoying but normally happened when u go do things like driving too long of days of activity u best resting in between things and icing is key constantly thru day and after walks or activities it is key to keeping pain and swelling down and numbness at bay. When u do to much which is very little during surgery recov lol it causes swelling which presses on nerves and then creates numbers. You must get resting and icing in cycles 20 min increments especially first two weeks intensively. I'm 6 weeks and still icing thru day after anything I do. It is pain management . Tens unit is awesome form back of shoulders sigh
Also the pain and tight or even spasms in between shoulder is totally normal for after cervical. It's not fun but also increased and even some caused by laying in bed so much recovering . Chiropractor is awesome for all these stuff keep you in alignments
Ty so much
When I need to put the prepared rice to refrigerator? When it is hot or after cooling down? And after cooling this rice for 12 hrs, can I make it hot using microwave oven?
I took this for Allergies, seemed to work.
Very annoying! I don't need to waste time watching him spell out words!
