Are there any risks involved in my spine surgery?
Yes. You have a much increased risk of wound infection because of your diabetes. And you have an increase risk with general anesthesia because of your hypertension. I have all of my patients in your situation cleared by a cardiologist and an internist before booking the surgery! READ MORE

My father has a disc problem. Should we go for physiotherapy or surgery?
What does “the scan reveals a problem with the L5S1 disc mean” what is the scan? An MRI? A CT scan? A myelogram? And what is the “problem”? A herniated disc? A degenerated disc? Compression on a nerve or the whole spinal canal? That is Spinal stenosis? You need to be a little less vague so I can give you a good answer. Otherwise, I would be guessing and it might not have anything to do with your father's problem. You also didn’t say what conservative treatment he had. Physical therapy, chiropractic? Epidural injections? All of this is extremely important before deciding whether surgery is a good and final option Sincerely, Mitchell Cohen MD READ MORE
Locations of sacroiliac joint pain
It could be but there are many other things that it could be too. You need to be examined by an orthopedic surgeon preferably one who specializes in the spine. A thorough history needs to be taken then a full exam making sure to do a complete neurologic exam to rule out pathology from the spine as well as from the hip joint. You need simple xrays of the spine as well as of the pelvis and hips. Disease of the lumbar spine and of the hip are more common than sacroiliitis. If the doctor thinks the pain is coming from the SI joint there are special tests he needs to do on physical exam. After he rules out everything else. The next step is conservative care and if that doesn't help injections are the next step. Surgery is only a very last resort after everything has failed and the pain is interrupting your life 5/7 days a week or more! READ MORE
