What can a neurosurgeon do for sciatica?
If all conservative measures fail, a minimally invasive neurosurgeon can perform endoscopic discectomy through an 8 mm incision to decompress the nerve. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD READ MORE

What are the treatments for sciatica?
Physical therapy, NSAIDS, chiropractor care, and pain management for epidural steroid injection. If those dont help, endoscopic discectomy can be considered. Saeed S. Sadrameli, READ MORE

Sciatica is usually due to a disc herniation or narrowing of the spinal canal or other rare causes. There are various nonsurgical options to try including physical therapy, NSAIDS, or pain management injection. Up to 80% of sciatica from disc herniation improves with time and conservative measures. In 20% non-responders, endoscopic surgery can be offered to help and patients do very well after surgery and in my practice will return to their normal life in 72 hours. Saeed S.

Typically MRI is the preferred imaging study to evaluate the spine and diseases related to the spine. In certain cases (i.e. existing hardware from a previous spinal fusion) CT Myelogram (dye injection) can be very helpful. This is typically performed by interventional radiologist or neurosurgeons and will be under local anesthetics. It may be uncomfortable but generally well tolerated.

There are various reasons for back pain and without appropriate imaging studies, it is difficult to diagnose and treat the issue. It could be as simple as arthritic pain to disc herniation, to facet inflammation, to malignancy. Symptoms appear to be chronic and therefore a degenerative problem is more likely. I would advise a consultation with a spine-focused neurosurgeon.

I typically tell patients operative time depends on many factors and mostly the complexity of the surgery at hand and no two surgeries are exactly identical. What matters the most beyond surgical time (as long as its not abnormally lengthy) is your surgical outcome. Do your research about your surgeon and the proposed surgery prior to the operation and if you feel comfortable with your surgeon and what youve read about her/him, youre likely making the right choice. Best of luck. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Neurosurgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealthCerebration
Surgery Dilemma
It is important to optimize all aspect of care prior to any surgery. This includes bone health (no osteopenia or osteoporosis), mobility, and other issues. It is difficult to decide READ MORE
It is important to optimize all aspect of care prior to any surgery. This includes bone health (no osteopenia or osteoporosis), mobility, and other issues. It is difficult to decide which surgery to proceed with first without much clinical information but I would discuss this with both your spine and knee surgeon and have a consensus. You can also seek a second opinion to have a fresh set of eyes evaluating the clinical issue at hand. Hope this helps. Saeed S.

Is nerve damage fixable?
That depends on the etiology of nerve damage. Either way it is recommended to do a complete workup including imaging and EMG/NCS. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic, Minimally Invasive READ MORE

Sciatica is often due to compression a never or multiple nerves. Patient often experience pain shooting down the leg. The reason for nerve compression varies from patient to patient and can be due to disc herniation, top down foraminal stenosis, spinal stenosis or other less common pathologies. Most sciaticas are curable. Please contact us to ask about our ultra minimally invasive endoscopic approach for treatments of sciatica.

Nerve damage in the lumbar spine can be due to a variety of reasons and the extent of injury is also variable. In cases of nerve injury due to mechanical compression such as disc herniation or spinal canal narrowing, nerve damage can show some improvement upon treating the underlying problem. Saeed S.

After a nerve decompression spine surgery, symptoms may take a year to improve as nerves are typically slow to recover. In general the longer and more extensive the degree of nerve compression, the longer it takes to recover. Older individuals tend to take longer to recover and it may never reach a 100% recovery. Seek help today if you suffer from arm or leg pain due to nerve compression as there may be minimally invasive ways to treat your problem.

While it is nearly impossible to provide any meaningful clinical advice online, your condition can certainly be evaluated in office and I am happy to see you as a consultation. In general severe cervical stenosis have sequela that are variable from patient to patient and treatment options heavily depend on physical exam and history.
EMG testing
Blood test is not needed in order for the EMG to be performed.
