I had the laminectomy procedure about 2 months ago. I was having severe pains in my left leg and foot, had trouble sleeping. All of the pain in my leg went away immediately and has not come back. The only pain I had was in the incision. I stopped pain meds within 4-5 days, have not taken any since. What a glorious feeling to be completely pain free! I am 80 years old.

Three weeks ago I had a laminectomy in L4-L5 and L5-S1 due to 60% stenosis. My pain is nothing now compared to what it was before!!! Amazing surgery that has changed my life.

You need to have your own TV show. You’re not only articulate, knowledgeable, and have a talent for simplifying complicated issues, you’re easy on the eyes. Get yourself an agent.

My neurosurgeon didn't explain any of this. He didn't order physical therapy, meds, or steroid shots, basically he said too bad, live with it. I can't sleep because of the pain and have great difficulty walking. Thanks for this video, now I understand there are options. Plus, I'm looking for a different doctor.

Truly appreciate this clear full presentation which covers all possibilities/complications. Dr Su is a master educator which folks like me really appreciate so we can be fully informed

Dr. Su - thank you so much for this series of videos on lumbar spinal stenosis. It has provided more information in a simple yet through manner than I have ever received. It will help me make a logical fact based decision on how to proceed with alleviating my back pain.

Thank you for explaining this horrible pain, and what can be done to relieve it. You gave a very detailed explanation!

An excellent summary of the surgical procedures available for LSpine stenosis .

Thank you Doctor. A true genius and you pretty much saved me from being pressured into surgery for spinal stenosis from L4L5 Spondylolisthesis. I can at least wait a while. Your explanations are golden. Thank you again!
-
These specialists and surgeons are so incredibly skilled and confident,. You couldn't trust me to sweep a floor properly, yet these folk are operating on the most critically-important parts of the body as though they were changing a headlight bulb. It is nothing short of pure genius.
-
And after my surgery. I will tell you how it went , and be just as cheerful as everyone blessed here in the comments. Great recovery stories guys 👍 Keep on moving 😊

Hi Brian. I have a lot to thank you for. You gave me the encouragement to have spinal decompression of L2/3 & L3/4. The op was a complete success. It was done 3 weeks ago and already I can walk and stand like I did 5 years ago. I owe you a million thanks for the good advice. My life is nearly back to normal. Thank you, Mike from the UK.

Thank you for your teachings. You really breakdown things for me to understand as a lay person. 🙏

Lucid discussion that is very helpful to someone reviewing options for spinal stenosis.

Thanks for explaining the procedure so well. I stumbled across this video two days ago and it just happened that the back surgeon phoned me this morning, looks like I have to get the 3 piece surgery but he thinks it's still day surgery. I understood all his explanations so well, because of your video. Fingers crossed I get the surgery in the next 4 months,

Thank you so much for this series! I am in the very early stages and this have me a lot of hope into something that feels very scary to me!

This was the best information I have seen and I have looked at a lot.
