what about the endoscopic lumbar discectomy?
Question:
Answers:
I had this procedure performed in the L4-L5 region 11 years ago. It was a miracle - after a year's suffering, even though I awoke in some pain, it was the wrong kind. The misery was GONE!
I enjoyed a reasonably rapid recovery and although at times still experience some temporary discomfort in the lower back - especially after standing or walking a long time - am very happy with the result.
I cannot speak to limitations on the use of this procedure for vrious back conditions, but I know that instead of major invasive surgery that might well have left me permanently in pain or partially disabled, this worked.

GO FOR IT!! I had one in December and I feel great!!
Before my surgery, my disc was into my sciatic nerve and doctors were afraid it would perminetly damage the nerve, I was in the worst pain I have ever felt. As soon as I woke up from surgery I felt better than I had in months. I was up and moving around in 1 day, and moving around normally and even walking my dogs after 3 wks.
I had this performed at L4 L5. I would rather go thru natural child birth ANY DAY( which I did in 2002) than go thru the pain I felt before my surgery.
I still have the occasional flare up which lasts 1-5 days, but the pain is minimal as compared to that before surgery.
I would do it all over again -- no regrets!
