Danny, you can look up these issues online as much as you want. There's no harm in it. DO NOT let a dr. or anyone tell you not to google. DO NOT let them make you feel dumb or guilty for doing it. Knowledge is power. I've learned a lot searching on the web
Totally agree! Great point. Thanks for commenting.
This doctor is fantastic. So kind and understanding, and able to explain things so well.
Thanks!
You do such a great job educating and giving valuable advice. Thank You !!
You brought tears to my eyes ,,, cause I recently had the same experience ..I also own my own business and crying every day that I can’t go to work and take care of my clients …and I love that doctor he does not push Sergury …
Hang in there! I hope this helped.
Man I love this Doc!! Thank you!!
I really enjoy your presentations, I wish I would hear from people post surgery.
Maybe you could get these people onto your site to give us an idea what it's
like a month,5 months, a year after the operation.
Thanx.
Great idea! I will work on that. Thanks.
Any update on this man? Curious to know how things gave gone for him.
Bravo Dr. You are amazing. Thank you for your valuable information
Wow! Thanks so much! I appreciate the input. What about you? Come on the show so we can talk. bestpracticehealth.tv/
That animation is so true! 2005 I woke up with severe back pain and couldn’t move but no leg pain. Eased up few months and then the leg pain started. I don’t know how or why doctor checked me for MS and the MRI stopped at L1. 2006 it got worse and my family doctor took too long to send me to another MRI. I got fed up and found a spine specialist in the yellow pages lol. Got the MRI there showing L4-5 central HNP and L5-S1 left lateral HNP. After my fusion later on my NS said I had permanent nerve damage and scar tissue on the nerve roots, and he recommended a pain pump. Later I got SCS for multi level stenosis that made it hard to walk around. Luv your channel 😊❤️👍
What is hnp?
Thank you. Great explanation !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great explanation Dr. thank you so much
You are welcome
I am 68 years old and having sciatic pain down my right leg. The other vertebrae in the lower lumbar feel loose and every motion I can feel them popping to better align. I have had a MRI and range of motion x-rays on the affected area. My neurologist surgeon wants to fuse one of my vertebrae. I have a an old buldging or herniated disc on one side of the impacted area, I think L4, and there are signs of spinal stenosis in the same area and as if that isn't enough for one area of the spine, I also have this new cyst that my neurologist says is the root cause for my pain. When discussing the fusion with my surgeon I asked "doesn't fusing the vertebrae just cause other issues in the future with the non fused ends of the vertebrae and the answer I got was a flat "no". I feel like I am being rushed through all of this. I also have been having an urination urgency condition which allows me about 10 seconds to get to a toilet, which I originally connected with a surgery I had a few years ago that left me unable to ejaculate externally. My neurologist claims it has nothing to do with my back issue. This leaves me even more uncomfortable with the diagnosis since the surgeon didn't even look at anything when I told him about it. He just responded that it wasn't related. From the sounds of it, a urinary issue with sciatica issue could be a deadly circumstance. I would like a 2nd opinion with you. How do I get your opinion? I have copies of my MRI and x-rays that I can send. Please advise. Thank you for your videos on this topic. They have been very helpful.
Nice story
Thanks for watching
Question for the amazing doctor I wanna take advice and wait it out ..I also on nerve pain Med .,,,!! How do get off it plz ??? I wanna stop it after listening to you .. also what is the best position to sleep ?? Am I able to stand and move ??
Call the office of the doctor prescribing the nerve pain medicine and ask them whether you need to taper or stop "cold turkey." The best way to sleep is on your back, if you can.
Hello Dr. when you say after 2 yrs. no surgery case is similar to miscrodisctomy. Can you please elaborate that? I have seen patients suffering from sciatica pain on and off even after 2 years. Does that mean surgery can also cause recurrence after 2 yrs
Hello, Rajeev! The SPORT trial for microdiscectomy followed 2 groups of patients for 2 years. One group had microdiscectomy and the other no surgery. The two groups were the same after 2 years. That doesn't mean you can't have sciatica longer than 2 years, right! I feel so sorry for those who suffer this long; however, it is unfortunately not uncommon. Surgery does not cause recurrence. But recurrent and residual discs after surgery are common, about 15%
Curious about coming on here. I think i could benefit from a thorough walktrough of my imaging and options. Would it be possible as an international viewer? Im not sure you could access my imaging, but i did record me scrolling through them.
Yes! We would love to have you. International viewers are welcome... it doesn't matter where you are, we still care about you. Follow this link to the BestPracticeHeatlh.tv page and submit your question as a video you can record on your phone. Follow the instructions to upload your imaging. And we will look forward to seeing you on the show. bestpracticehealth.tv/
@@BestPracticeHealth Would you prefer DICOM images?
Yes you are lucky cause you have employee …sadly I don’t have employee
I agree!
I was just wondering if spinal decompression therapy will help in faster healing?
Spinal decompression therapy is the usual term for traction, which helps arthritic facet joints recover. If you have low back pain due to arthritis traction really helps. Remember that it is like brushing your teeth: as soon as you stop doing it, the effect wears off. Home traction with an inversion table may be a more affordable long term solution.
@@BestPracticeHealth Thanks for the reply. However I have heard many people claiming that their disc was pushed back to original place with this therapy. When they did mri after completing the sessions herniation was much smaller. It is claimed that it provides long term solution by treating root cause.
Hi Rajeev, Dr Lieberman answered your question today on our live show. Here is a timestamped link: ruclips.net/user/liveLryTnQ3aC6I?feature=share&t=2672
Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections don't always work, they didn't for me,I have been in pain for nearly 2 years and have got worse, , and now got drop-foot, can barely walk, got Degenerative spondylolisthesis, bulging disc, and arthritis in my lower back, now got drop foot been on oxycontin, oxymoron, morphine patch and vertebrae 2 worn in neck and arthritis also in neck.I wish you lived in Ireland because you explain to people in plain terms.
I'm sorry to hear that! Hang in there!
I had low back pain 5 months ago when i lifted the patient during my shift after that i got a mild dull type pain in lower back for which i didn’t take any medicine, it was bearable but it was consistent then a month ago i took some NSAID with Muscle relaxant it relieved the pain then one day i got a very shooting pain in my left leg behind the knee,i straight went for the MRI and there was a mild protrusion in central of l5 and s1 so i took physio sessions and avoid bending and lifting it’s been second month sir but now i have no pain sir but i have some type of feelings in back of the thigh in left leg which can’t be expressed and it comes only when i stand for about 30 to 40 minutes continuesly, what is that sir? can it be consider as sciatica or not?and how long it will take for me to be recovered? i am not taking any medicine right now i am just doing exercises for core muscles strength..
Great question. I answered in this video: ruclips.net/video/iSbuKouaoVk/видео.html. I hope it helps.

It sounds like you have severe spinal stenosis. The only effective treatment is laminectomy surgery. Watch this: ruclips.net/p/PLsYo8ENYsvpxJc9oGYtLP3jEQ3zpLSx2I
Can u Look on my spine mri?
Yes. Submit a question by video here: bestpracticehealth.tv/. You will be given the option to upload your MRI on disc. Look forward to seeing you on line!
How did this gentlemen do? It's been over 3 months, did he need surgery?
He has not contacted us back. I'll see if we can reach him.
@@BestPracticeHealth Thank you Doctor. If he is still experiencing a problem at 12 weeks would a microdiscectomy be prudent? When can the "average" healthy person get back to normal activities after a microdiscectomy?
NSAIDs do not work for back pain...honestly...I know
I'm sorry to hear that. What does work for you? Have you tried a muscle relaxant?
This guy waste time
Band aid exercises
U hav to attack the problem s
There a re exercises that heal
Together with food and certain drinks
Good to know. What are they?
@@BestPracticeHealth took me 10yrs of pain and suffering to find the answers
Not just saying it
The answers are there
You sound miserable and sad I'm so sorry 😢
