Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery Pain free

Posted by noahsmith1985 @noahsmith1985, Aug 28 3:57am

I know that probably nobody here knows me. I just wanted to urge everyone to really seek advice from a specialist. I had back pain for years and could only lie down. I had severe pain in the L5. The clinics in my area had waiting times of over 2 years. Then I heard about the privat Clinic in Germany. They explained to me directly what the next steps were and what he himself recommended. After much deliberation, I decided to fly to Germany. Now, 3 months after the operation, I feel nothing. I can finally get back on my bike and cycle my usual routes. I can really recommend everyone not to ignore their pain before it gets worse. And I would advise everyone to have at least one consultation at home or elsewhere from there doctors.

I've only heard from people who are happy with their artificial discs. These disc protect mobility not afforded through fusion surgeries.
Congratulation on your successful surgery and your great efforts going to Germany for treatment. Where exactly which surgeon.
We'd like to know more. What was recovery time and pain. Are there restricions with an artificial disc. Was your disc compressed or torn? from injury or wear and tear. How expensive was this trip with surgery?
There is a place in Phoenix that specializes in artificial disc replacement. https://www.sciatica.com/
thank you for your post, stranger.

Immediately after the operation I barely felt no pain. I was treated at the Clinic Bel Etage in Germany. The surgeon was Mr Schmitz. After the operation I was assured that I could carry on as usual. Just not to do any heavy sport for 2-3 months. My whole trip including the car stay, flight pick-up and operation cost 30,000 USD.
