Back Pain editor — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:28:28 +0000

Before her herniated disc surgery, Ruth Meyer had been in pain for more than 6 months. She tried conservative treatments such as nerve blocks, physical therapy and pain medication, but experienced no relief. She was forced to quit her job as a result of the pain and fell into depression. Soon after, she found Dr. St. Louis and Laser Spine Institute where she received minimally invasive, endoscopic herniated disc surgery that changed her life. This is Ruth’s story.

Can a previous surgery on a herniated disc cause another disc to herniate??

Back Pain editor — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 01:20:43 +0000

I’ll be sweet and short here.
I had surgery on my L5-S1 where the disc was removed as much as possible a couple years ago. Do you think this could cause the L4-L5 to herniate as well due to instability and/or wear/tear?

Herniated Disc Surgery on Olympic Gymnast

Back Pain editor — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 00:24:53 +0000

Scott is one of the top gymnasts in the world. He suffered a herniated disc in a training accident. He went to Dr. Delamarter who rebuilt his back with the pedicle screw, which is sometimes used as an adjunct to spinal fusion surgery, it provides a means of gripping a spinal segment. The screws themselves do not fixate the spinal segment, but act as firm anchor points that can then be connected with a rod. The screws are placed at two or three consecutive spine segments (eg lumbar segment 4 and 5) and then a short rod is used to connect the screws. This construct prevents motion at the segments that are being fused. The treatment allowed Scott to compete for the next Olympics within one year.

WWE John Morrison Undergoing Neck Surgery

Back Pain editor — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 09:21:46 +0000

News broke earlier today that John Morrison would be undergoing neck surgery today. However, the severity of the injury was still up in the air. When you think neck injuries, and neck surgery, the first thing that comes to mind is “severe injury” and while that is true 99 percent of the time, John Morrison’s case is not as severe as a broken neck. The injury sustained was a pinched nerve, an ailment that pales in comparison to a broken neck. Dr. Joseph Moroon, a medical director for WWE, preformed the surgery on May 9th. WWE.composted that a small incision was made to repair the pinched nerve in Morrison’s neck to relieve the pain. This is the WWE, though, and the second someonesustains an injury the first question in the fans’ mind is “when will they return?” Fortunately for John Morrison he won’t have to wait very long at all, only four to six weeks, that’sa month and a half at the most. The planets seemingly align perfectly, as WWE’s Capitol Pushiment pay-per-view takes place in six weeks, and is a likely return date for Morrison. Maybe a match with R-Truth at the pay-per-view? That would fit with WWEs storyline, as theyare saying that the injury happened as a result of R-Truth’s attack on Morrison last week on MondayNight Raw. leave a comment with your thoughts on John Morrison’s injury, and return
