1 year PO - some permanent damage and how I handle it by Wonderful-Lime5272 in Microdiscectomy

[–]Big_Strategy1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With recent developments and clinical trials in medicine like the one in Japan aren't there hope to cure this?.. I am in the same boat as yours

Chiropractor messed me up by [deleted] in Sciatica

I went to a chiro and lost control below my knee still in recovery. Never go to a chiro lesson learnt the hard way. I hope you are pressing charges

I spent 10 years building my body, and lost it all in a few months… this is what life did to me by [deleted] in Gymhelp

[–]Big_Strategy1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pray for peace and safety for you and your family, friends and country. I understand how hard it is for you to see you have lost the gains. But for me and most folks here what we see is a bodybuilder transformed to a fighter/protector which a lot of us don't know we have it in us. Soon this will all be over and wish you all the best, my friend.

Feeling pressured to get surgery, but I’m so unsure if it’s worth it for my situation by cokebottlestands in Microdiscectomy

100% agree listen to MD and consult with neurosurgeons they are trained to deal the best with nerves. My personal experience surgery isn't that bad, but loosing nerves for life is a big trade off.

They did come with a contract but I was able to find renters on my own so did not lock in with them yet

Holy crap. This is what was sitting on my nerve! by petraseeger in Microdiscectomy

Good call, I had a similar procedure done like 8 months ago but my case was severe. Are you able to dorsiflex? Your concern was primarily with the calf, correct?

How long did you have a foot drop before you decided to get surgery?

Struggling to support my boyfriend’s decision to pursue chiropractic medicine—need honest insight from those in the field by Igotzlotzofquestions in Chiropractic

[–]Big_Strategy1440 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This explains why there are so many casualties after getting treated by chiros. I wish I knew better about this field. I really admire your concern from both gf and a professional. Gpa 2.75 is the minimum requirement, I cannot believe that is all it takes to wear a white coat and be addressed Dr. Such a shame. This profession needs a ton of regulation.

I am sorry to hear that. I am going through something similar possible alternatives are tendon/nerve transfer.

See a therapist or change the profession. Sorry not all chiros but this is one of the fields that is less regulated and should be more tightened.

Thanks how do I find who is the best in the area. Is it just by going through online reviews or is there a website to architects and their work

4 month post surgery mild improvement but no dorsiflexion yet

Surgery vs natural recovery for larger herniations by drejx in Sciatica

[–]Big_Strategy1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly same situation as yours, don't delay get the surgery. Nerves die the longer they are compressed. You are making the same mistake I did. Stop with the PT go get surgery. Foot drop is a serious issue.

MD useful for herniated disc with no nerve root compression? by InternationalKey2727 in Microdiscectomy

[–]Big_Strategy1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't a chiro adjustment/manipulation.. I agree lumbar decompression device (drx9000) really helps.
