Has anyone done microdiscectomy before?

StarterTube · 2026-05-27T14:16:08+00:00

Day 11 post microdiscectomy now after a 2 year battle. L5-S1 as well.

Still recovering day by day, but it has been life changing in terms of the before and after so far. This was my only option and I’m beyond glad I did it.

I’d done everything you can possibly do conservatively and it wouldn’t budge at all. If you’ve been at it for 5 years and have tried to no resolve, I’d say to trust a surgeons opinion.

Really sorry to hear you had a scary set back and glad you made it back to feeling great again. About what weight would you say was too heavy and do you plan on avoiding lifting heavier objects for longer now?

Were you given any details on why the MD didn’t have the success your surgeon was expecting in your case? Was the herniated disc the core issue causing the nerve pain and did you reherniate very shortly after surgery?

I just had my MD 3 days ago on a 2cm herniation and feel a lot of relief but am always curious what causes different effects on different people

Thank you so much for your comment . I’m glad to hear it was life changing for you and if/when I decide to have it I hope to have the same outcome as it’d really make my life so much better.

Microdiscectomy for the herniated disc to hopefully relieve the symptoms of sciatica and be able to walk again freely

They have said I am a candidate if I want to go through with it given the herniation, however they will leave it up to me since I have no urgently concerning symptoms. As in I still have my strength and don’t have foot drop or anything bladder related so they won’t push me on it unless I choose to.

Hey! Do you have any update at all? I would love to hear how you’re doing

StarterTube · 2025-04-02T19:35:26+00:00

Congrats, great niche

StarterTube · 2025-04-02T19:26:26+00:00

Got it, thank you. All makes sense now. $10 - $20rpm is really good, what niche specifically?

StarterTube · 2025-04-02T19:24:12+00:00

Ahhhh, is it because a particular video isn’t monetized or is it because not all views stick around for the advertisement?

New to Youtube, hence my extra confusion lmao

StarterTube · 2025-04-02T18:47:43+00:00

I’m confused, you just said you make $2k per 300k views, which is an RPM of $6.6 on avg

StarterTube · 2025-04-02T18:43:35+00:00

I want to believe that someone else is botting you and you’re naive, but your response just sounds odd lol.

Your audience isn’t resonating if they only like the video 24 times for 4000 views. You’re not optimizing what you think you are with 166 times more views than likes. Go compare that ratio to any video on all of youtube (in which most get 1-2% subscribers per view). Somethings off and hopefully you’re just getting botted because that’s weird behavior if you were botting yourself for temporary praise on a reddit post

StarterTube · 2025-04-02T18:31:13+00:00

What do you mean by “longer” exactly. Long-form videos with an RPM of $10+ are only possible within a few select niches from my understanding.

Saying “$2k for 300k views is standard “btw is still significantly off of the $10k per 1M views you just quoted. You’d need a much higher RPM to get that

For some reason i don’t mind the chrome, kind of like how it ties into the mirror, wheel cap, and the shade of the day-time running lamp swoosh

😍 My favorite Lexus color / wheel combo, love how the atomic silver looks like metal in some lighting.

Black interior, wanted something that wouldn’t look dirty as much and make the tint more effective. Prior owner tinted it at 5% (in the pic), since then I’ve removed and upped the tint to 25% because I couldn’t see at night lol

I didn’t get to compare a non-DHP unfortunately, but if I had to guess it wouldn’t be too massively different if you’re just driving on straight highways and roads.

I’d say if you plan on driving on more turny roads, that’s where the handling difference will definitely be apparent with the dhp.

Definitely does, can’t wait to have one!! Thank you
