Maybe back in the olden days, but nowadays with modern pharmaceuticals…..you’d be surprised. These guys juicing probably have 4 testicles. 

 

Yeah but they're all really tiny.

I’ve talked to a back surgeon in a social setting who said that he would never have back surgery.  He said there are just too many ways that it can go horribly wrong for no apparent reason.

 

Can I ask where and what procedure?

 

I just had a friend have UB Neuro tell them that double cervical disc replacements arent approved by the FDA which is entirely false. There are three FDA approved disc manufacturers.

 

The one thing I would tell anybody having spinal surgery is to go to a major spine center to have it done. The education and skill gap between UB Neuro and say NYP/Weill Cornell mught as well be the tmgrand canyon.

This ^^^
 

 My doctor told me that the biggest cause of chronic back pain was back surgery, I declined surgery, at 36 years old, and did the longer slower, recovery from a herniated disk, I’m 66 years old now, and it was the correct choice,

My most recent specialist and others , said the nerve pathway in the spinal cord are still somewhat of a mystery . While the vertebrae and discs are easy to see and to understand

Such as bone spurs in the lower thoracic might cause pain in in the legs or feet. Or numbing in the elbow lol.

 Was told avoid surgery as long as you can manage and keep moving.

I'm 64 and messed my back about 20 years ago. Have all the issues you can list

But I can manage still with some meds and yoga stuffs

I skipped out referrals back then and glad I did.

Bills have great folks to get him to his best self

Go Maxwell Hairston !
