I get one tomorrow

Getting next month an annular tear surgery in Turkey Istanbul

Dr Mork operated on me and I beleav he is the best minimal invasive back doctor in the world.

Had a op in South Africa op no; 1put all the screws in and whatever which was okay for 3months then collapsed and the surgeon said he will take out the screws and whatever whatever and know got a bulge in my spine and battling to walk.

I mad a comment 3 years ago it's now been 8 years since l5 S1 and I can no longer walk 😒 more then 10 min without having to sit down new MRIs show severe degeneration of l4 to l5 pain doctor says I will need another fusion probably a 3 level. I just can't do it so luckily I'm retired and until I can't move I'm holding off on more surgery and I've lost all trust in the medical field since covid

Why would 2 consecutive medial branch blocks working well but then a rhizotomy to the same nerve give no benefit?

Hi Doctor lam sisaygedluzalk from Ethiopia

Hi Doctor

In your experience, are most "symptomatic" toxic annular tears a result of trauma or an accident? Or can the also be a result of normal aging and "wear and tear?"

I'm trying to figure out if an annular tear that appears on my MRI is the source of my back pain. In late November I had some severe back spasms. I had mild/moderate discomfort for a few months prior, but was able to keep it under control with advil/Icy Hot (when I wanted to be active). Within a month after my spasms, I was moving around better and feeling improvements. I did physical therapy for about a month and was still not "normal" so an MRI was prescribed. The MRI came back with a few mild bulges and two annular fissures. One at L5-S1 and one at L3-L4. In February my doctor reviewed my MRI and thought the possible source of my pain was the small fissure in L5-S1. I was improving, but not near normal. I continued to improve over the next few months and started to re-introduce some of my physical activities back into my routine (per the approval of my doctor and chiropractor). I did some light lifting and hit a few easy golf shots, I did not immediately feel any discomfort. I decided not to do any golf (just as a precaution). I continued with light weight lifting. I never had any issues while doing this. At about month 5 I started to regress. I am now back to where I was at month 1 or 2 (even though it's been 6 months since my spasms). My pain is somewhat intermittent. It is centrally located in my lower back (at the belt line). I would describe it as sometimes a tightness and other times it can be a light burning sensation. Sometimes I have "tingling" that I feel in my outer right thigh and sometimes I feel light tingling in my right foot (usually down to the big toe). It is just tingling, not pain, weakness or numbness. Right now I am being told that it will take 12-18 months to heal the tear. It is just a waiting game. I walk daily and do some basic stretching and core exercises. Any thoughts?

Hi wondering if you take Canadian patients ? I have healthy discs no bulges except a minor bulge at t6-t7 but no pain at all in that area. My pain is a lot lower very localized pain in one area on my back slightly to the left aide. I think it a facet joint do I still need a discogram? In Canada they don't do this procedure

An excellent explanation Dr Mork, it's a very painful condition. Thank you and send my regards to Orson!

what is the differance between facet joint debridment and other procedures like endoscopic rhizotomy ( were they cut the nerve with a laser)? also do you take canadian patients?

is this pernament? i read studys that is only last a it longer than rfa? also what is the average price for this procedure?

Can RFA harm me w tear and arthritis and brutal pain already

without insurance can you you given an estimate cost of this procedure with known annual tears in the lumbar region. thank you.

Hi doctor i have had L4 S1 fussion in 2005. I always had nagging pain near the dimples on my buttock. I had good days and bad days. Sleeping has always been uncomfortable. From last year this pain has increased, now I have a really bad pain while im sitting and lying down. Doctor said i have SI joint pain. Had a steroid injection done two weeks ago no change in the symptoms. I have a really strong burning sensation followed by soreness and tenderness in my right buttock near to the spine. Please tell me if there is anything that could help me I'm 56 years old lady

What is your opinion on Discseel? Is this procedure similar?

😑

Dear Dr. Tony Mork, Does PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection work in case of disc related problems (annular tears, or just disc protrusion) that cause chronic pain (for several years) in the lumbar region (L4-L5)? There is no radicular pain, but there is constant local pain slightly above the PSIS, and sometimes a mild sensation in my hip, in the gluteus medius (maybe this can be called referred pain?). (I have never had any radicular pain in my legs. Imaging studies only show one-sided protrusion of the L4-L5 disc.) Thank you.

Hey doc- hope all is well. I’ve been in so much pain in my lower back Alford 3-4 years now. I’ve tried epidurals- and PT and everything. I do have an annular tear but no doctor has really made a big deal. I’m starting to think the tear could be the cause for pain. How can I identify if it’s toxic?

This video helped me immensely, thank you

"second most disabling, second to only arthritis". I have moderate low back pain that's occasionally severe. I have arthritis (plus other) in the Cspine. That is always disabling. I spend a lot of time laying perfectly still on the couch. :(

I had the TFESI procedure done today. I can't believe the people who said they felt no pain or very little pain as the procedure was pretty painful for me! I had opted for the nitrous oxide (laughing gas) but the pain I felt was certainly "no laughing matter!" The procedure was tolerable for the first 10 minutes or so with the pricks and stings of needles, BUT towards the end of the procedure, I felt enormous stabbing, throbbing pains inside on my left side. I have been suffering for 5+ years with excruciating back pain, so despite the painful epidural injection today, I am praying for a miracle of at least 50% pain reduction. I'm glad for those who had success with this procedure and I surely hope that's my outcome too! 🙏❤🙏❤

I found some amazing CBD products on the Weedborn website. Just check them out.

I had T11 -L1( Burst fracture) fusion surgery may 2007 Now Patient is status post fusion changes from T11 to L1. . Mild multilevel spondylosis of the nonsurgical levels. CHRONIC CHANGES ARE PRESENT. I am a 43 yr old female an I have severe pain in both legs and I feel like I'm wearing a corset when I'm not Eve n ( at home now ) wear a bra . Because it hurts so bad...

Do all protrusions/herniations/bulges have annular tears?

valium works just as good

I got Botox for neck pain. I can’t hold my head up now. I’m visibly crooked, and I was not before. Have to wear a brace now until this wears off.

Whats the cost of this ?Do you take any insurance?Where are you located?

I wish I neeeeever got this surgery 😢

He's well into his 70s How is he doing 😊

I have severe formina narrowing l5 s1 very symptomatic here did you have pain in both thighs radiating to feet and pins and needles in feet as well as weakness in legs. What surgery was performed and how quick was recovery?

Testosterone replacement healed my horrible back butt leg and fedt pain..i was very low so i went on replacement therapy within months i noticed how things were changing,,3 years later im no longer dealing with any of those issues,,testosterone regenerates the body,,apparently the back is included, get your hormones checked if in pain

I currently have facet joint syndrome from L3 down to S1. I am currently battling the same in my cervical spine. Your video was an excellent explanation of the syndrome. Keep up the good work.

There is a Doctor in Florida, Dr. Cantor who does this but he doesn't use a burr to trim the bone, he uses an Utrasonic Scalpel which cuts bone but will not cut tissue or nerves. I believe this is the way of the future.

was just diagnosed. thanks desk job!

I am looking at getting a 2 level fusion at L3-L5. I worry about ASD. Is there core strengthening exercises or anything you can do to try to avoid this?

I am 37 years old and diagnosed with facet hypertrophy. Is it similar?

To remove fragments, you have to make a hole in the anulus fibrosus. Will this hole heal? Is it possible to "plug" it with fibrin or other sealant?

Are you not creating a herniated disk and annular tears by injection into a possibly healthy disk

Wow an upload from 8yrs ago and no comments?? What a trip. Well hopefully this comment gets answered. I was researching steve grad cuz on pawn stars he has a fat guy body but is skinny. I was just curious if he, steve, used to be super fat? Now is normal? Cuz man he has some serious man titts! Like he used to be 400lb. Any input Doc?

Back surgery is a scam!

Did you have a chance to use more modern MRI machines such as Philips MR 7700 to diagnose annular tears?

No mention of spinal Ischemia? Hmmmmm.....If low blood flow to the heart can cause heart problems, if low blood flow to the brain causes cognitive problems, if low blood flow to the penis causes stiffy problems, why can't low blood flow to the spine cause those joint, disc and muscular symptoms? Due to the fact that 80% of chronic disease is traceable to diet, maybe a good place to start. Otherwise you're just a mechanic and we all know how dodgy and money hungry they are.....

Im in pain. Dounds great to hear she got rid of the pain without surgery.😮

Having this done Feb 15 2024, my right shoulder and arm have been killing me TERRIBLE for over a year, I cannot wait

I wish there were a doctor as good as you here in Australia.

Why there isn't lot of propuses on this surgery ?

I want you to know the many lives that you have saved because these surgeons out here are putting metal in a patient's bodies and not telling them how devastating it can be to us. The clique to want to replace the disks I had an annular tear but the doctor completely disregarded the mei report. I had an annular tear with presents of fluid in a mass effect into the cord with complete flattening of my cord .. He operated and put a artificial disc in my neck and it ruined my life. Not only is my body's immune response completely forever destroyed, but I had to have the disc removed and now I have even worse problems as I have a bulging disc and the pain in my arm and legs is excruciating but I would rather die than let another one of these doctors touch me Dr Mork I wish I had been back in California when this happened and seen you you would have changed my life for the better
