Just found out I have a bulging disk, arthritis and cervical stenosis and not being educated about this issue is to say the least very difficult to deal with, thanks to your videos and others I've found online I'm much more knowledgeable with this condition. Thanks for your help with educating me with this issue, looking forward to seeing more of your videos

Thank you for explaining the surgery I was so nervous about having the surgery.

Great video. Thanks as always for helping us to understand these topics.

I have ankylosing spondylitis and I have myelopathy and radiculopathy. Currently I'm redoing imaging so my neurosurgeon can determine whether or not I am a surgical candidate. I really appreciate your cervical stenosis videos, they have given me a lot of useful information. I am praying that I am a candidate for laminoplasty surgery. I feel empowered and educated Thank you Dr. Suβ€

Thank you so much Doctor, i like the way you explained everything so clearly. I am from Mauritius π²πΊ and suffering from cervical pain for about 15years and only this time on the MRI the report came with "Straightened cervical lordosis, Degenerative changes posterior elements, Osteophyte-disc complex with posterior bulging at C3/4, C4/5, C5/6. Spinal cord mompression at level C4/5, C5/6" Dr diagnosis " C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6 disc prolapse with Cervical kyphosis. I am in pain for months medecine does'nt help a lot even the stronger one.

Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation. My first neurosurgical consult recommended fusion, which I was not happy with. I got a second opinion and was recommended to do the laminoplasy, which seemed like such a better option. After watching your video, I am feeling much more comfortable with this option. Very much appreciated.

Thx for explaining! I have exactly the same problems as you were describing. I immediately have ordered the Saunders machine at Ebay. Hopefully it will arrive soon here in the Netherlands to offer some relief. Dutch greetings from Perry

Thank you Dr. Su for all of your easy to understand videos. Would love to hear your opinion on taking Bisphosphonates for osteoporosis. Thank you.

Dr. Su you are a Hero, a Champion! π Lots of incredibly excellent and down to earth information. Do you also use the french door technique? Can the buckling of the ligamentum flavum with severe right neural compressive foraminal stenosis of C3-C4, C5-C6 cause compression of the central spinal canal? Thank you.
