Do I Have Sciatica?

I knew I had spinal stenosis, so I recently had an MRI, because I want to know exactly what is wrong. My family doctor said the results showed spinal stenosis, which I already knew! I have an appointment with a NS later this month. I have numbness in both feet and legs. I cannot stand for very long without my lower back killing me. Also, can't walk very far at all. Sitting or laying is fine (Except feet are always numb laying). You are very informative! I will definitely know better what is going on after I see the NS.

Excellent Video, very informative! I thought I know a lot about sciatica but your explanation is so clear and easy to understand...Thumb Up ...Dr. Su!

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Very informative.

Great informative videos without trying to sell some product or course. I would be interested to see a video on failed back surgery (or increased leg pain a few years after surgery) and considerations for additional surgery (e.g., would there be a difference in surgical recommendations for foraminal stenosis if there was a prior laminectomy at the same level).

I sure do and standing and walking the past 2 days was awful! I have lost bar and cervical stenosis and bulging discs. Ouch! I’ve had 2 surgeons immediately suggest lumbar laminectomy and fusion without less severe treatments first. I refused. I see our NUCCA QSM3 chiropractic weekly and he very gently aligns my spine.

I have spinal stenosis and severe sciatica to the point that my lower body gets numb. When I walk, I hurt so bad that I sweat profusely from the tip of my head down. I have done epidural treatments and prednisone. I get relief with the prednisone but once its over, the pain comes right back. Physical therapy actually makes me hurt worse. I only want surgery if it will help. I just want to walk like a human again 😢

Dr testosterone is the best anti inflammatory in the body,,when my husband tested very low and due to severe back pain he jumped on board within months all his pain was gone when he was very limited in his daily activities,,why are drs not using this more for inflammation,,his life has been given back to him,,thx for your wonderful videos

Thanks for the very thorough explanation!! The surgeon I consulted with didn't provide any helpful info.

Hello doc Brain my wife have a adhesive arachnoid cyst spinal and what is the adhesive arachnoid cyst because said our doctor need to surgery

2 EMGs indicate L5 radiculopathy for my leg/foot symptoms, but MRI does not show any disc issue, stenosis, or any other obvious cause. Can muscles or other tissues cause nerve irritation, symptoms are on and off but have continued for 6 months. Thanks.

Good morning Doc, my wife was diagnosed with stenosis (compressed spinal cord) and calcification and doctors recommended laminoctomy instead of laminaplasty. Do you have additional thoughts with having calcification?

hi doc, i have levoscoliosis. whats the remedy everytime if hurts? thank you. have a nice day.....

so when do you think surgery is really needed and if this can make someone loose leg function..

My L4 L5 disk incapcelated raped around my sciatica nerve and took 4 years and a milagram to find out what was going on, I've had 4 back surgerys

Please can you discuss the rhizotomy procedure?

I have Sciatica for 4 years now 😪& I’m finally getting injections done Monday I’m so nervous 😬 there anything I need to know?

I have had 4 epidural cortisone tnjections 3 have not worked Had EMG and NCS and it shows abnormalities in s1 and below. Just had new one in sacral joint so can’t tell yet . If this injection works does it stop numbness and tingling which goes all the way under the foot? Enjoy your program the best on You Tube!

A fun observation: radiculopathy. You introduced this term in the cervical stenosis video. I was amused because you pronounced it rIdiculopathy. As in Ridiculous. Maybe it's a ridiculous procedure. I hope not..
