Herniated Disc Surgery on Olympic Gymnast

Jan 23

Posted by Back Pain editor in Herniated Disc | No Comments


Scott is one of the top gymnasts in the world. He suffered a herniated disc in a training accident. He went to Dr. Delamarter who rebuilt his back with the pedicle screw, which is sometimes used as an adjunct to spinal fusion surgery, it provides a means of gripping a spinal segment. The screws themselves do not fixate the spinal segment, but act as firm anchor points that can then be connected with a rod. The screws are placed at two or three consecutive spine segments (eg lumbar segment 4 and 5) and then a short rod is used to connect the screws. This construct prevents motion at the segments that are being fused. The treatment allowed Scott to compete for the next Olympics within one year.

Posted by Back Pain editor in Herniated Disc | 6 Comments

I am 24 and have been dealing with this pain for 9 years.. finally had an MRI and saw the results… 2 herniated discs EXTREMELY protruding into my spinal fluid. (L4 & L5 area) The surgeon said for someone my age he would never do surgery but its my only option at this time…its 45 minutes, small incision, and he said im up and walking and home that night.
-is recovery really this quick?
-did you really not feel pain after? if so long long did it last?
-did you need a catheder for surgery? (im a chicken)

please only respond if you or someone you know has had this type of surgery
