RandyandCharlene M. asked:Need some advice/recommendations. After many years of dealing with back pain and all types of therapy, it has now progressed to the point of surgery on L3,4&5 disks ruptures is being recommended. My question to this group, has anyone had this type of surgery? Who (Dr.) would you recommend or not and any other info would be appreciated. If you would rather pm with information that is fine with me. Hope this question is ok for the forum. Thanks in advance.Jennifer H. replied:Hi there. First off let me say I'm sorry you're going through this. I too am facing a 2 layer, possibly 3 layer fusion on C4-7 discs due to herniations, DDD and stenosis. The group I was referred to is INI, Illinois Neurological Institute in Peoria. My surgeon will be Dr Tsung. Everyone I've encountered there has been wonderful. Very encouraging and informative. When the time comes, I'm confident I will be in good hands. Another resource I have found helpful is spine-health.com for advice, support and patient experiences with all types of spine conditions. I wish you the best!

Holly R. asked:Anybody ever had SI joint issues that hurt with every step?! What did you do for relief? Been trying to stretch, and have gone to chiropractor...many times, but the pain persists =( All recommendations welcome!! It's currently just my left side.Jennifer M. replied:"If there is pain during pregnancy, and it is suspected to be coming from the sacroiliac joint, then a sacroiliac belt is about all that can be done to try to stabilize the sacroiliac joints until the baby is delivered. If the pain has not gone away wi thin six weeks after delivery, and the pain is disabling, then at that point an injection can be done to diagnose whether the pain is coming from the sacroiliac joint or not." http://www.spine-health.com/.../sacroiliac-joint-and...

Lynn M. asked:MRI results are finally in. I have "Severe Spinal Stenosis" of my neck. C4 & C5 most likely will need to have surgery to get the vertebra opened to get the pressure off of my spinal cord. Looking for a Neurologist who will be in my medical plan for 2015. Been referred to two so far, and one can see me Feb 27th and the other.....May 1st. Hahaha...guess they don't know what it is like to have this fricken nerve pain 24/7. Just thinking of neck surgery puts me into a panic attack. :(Lynn M. replied:Petra Sliwiak , mine can not be healed on its own. It was the holsitic doctor who refered me to the surgion as mine is caused by my serve case of Osteoarthritis. You can actually see the bone grown impinging on my spinal cord from the insde of the ver tabae. This is structual, not physical or soft tissue. Check out this video. As there is a huge difference between having a fusion done and removing the bone growth. http://www.spine-health.com/.../spinal-stenosis-symptoms...

Senae T. asked:Has anybody massaged a client with Facet Joint Syndrome?Ro R. replied:Good article, however I still stick to my original point that facet irritation can occur without osteoarthritis, though the two can go hand in hand. Senae turner here is a good article as well as the one that Lindsey posted. http://www.spine-health.com/.../facet-joint-disorders-and...

Randie J. asked:Anyone have any good ideas to help a sciatic nerve? Chiropractor?Jess A. replied:You too? Must be going around. I found some good stretches on this site. There is a short video that demonstrates them too. They seem to be helping me. I've been doing them 2-3 times per day. Also, sleep with a pillow between your legs to make your thought more parallel-so it doesn't pull in it more. http://www.spine-health.com/...
