My brother is a doctor and vehemently told me to go to a neurosurgeon for

my spinal stenosis decompression/laminectomies.

I went to a neurosurgeon for my spinal fusion. I figured if a Dr. is able to

operate on someone's brain, I would feel more comfy with them on my spine. I

have a Ortho & his wife whom I love. He takes care of my knees but, I would

not let take care of my spine. Just my feelings.

I went to a neurosurgeon, too, about the loss of feeling in my right leg.

His deduction after many tests and about 2 hours in the MRI machine, was

that I was wearing my pants too tight! I finally found out that it was

because of destroyed discs in my back, something he couldn't figure out.

Sometimes the 'experts', aren't.

Unfortunately, all doctors did not graduate at the top of their class.

:-( I'm surprised the radiologist who read your MRI did not find

anything. Could, too, have been a bad MRI machine. I have one bulging

disk that has probably been there for years and never caused any

problems. They found that, along with the fracture with the first MRI I

had. Second fracture they found with a good x-ray. I was so obvious

even I could see it in the x-ray.

Do you realize that a person can become a Dr as long as he has graduated with a

D+????

It's a sorry fact, Hate to know what some of those dr's got!

Hi . I have been operated on twice by a neurosurgeon and will have my 3rd

operation in a couple of months by a orthopedic. I don't really know which is

better but I've had 2 neurosurgeons and I really liked the fact that they were

very blunt with all possibilities. The ortho I am seeing has taken a LOT of

time to sit with me, talk to me, do office evals, etc. The last appt he was

with me in the room for a good 30 minutes. With the neuros, getting 5 minutes

was a challenge.

THis may just be the individual drs i saw but the ortho is much more

comprehensive for me. plus he is so specialized and is very up to date on

technology. he's hoping to insert an artificial disc above my last fused site.

don't know if this helps but thought i'd chime in

[ ] Neoro vs. Orthopedic Surgeon

I am going different appointments getting second and third opinion on

spinal surgery for the lower back. I am also getting experiences from

lots of patients also. Some people go to neuro-surgeons and some went

to orthopedic surgeons. Does anyone have info or experiences on these

type surgeons and which is more beneficial?

Thanks
