Accurascope saved my life
Really ?????, it's 2012 & you're speaking about cases from years ago & Dr. Rothstein is no longer associated w/ NAS. Don't get me wrong, I'm truely sorry for those who had less than optimal results. But, the Accurascope & NAS saved my life. As a long time critical care RN i know no surgery is w/o risk, no one ever thinks they'll be the % that doesn't do well. Yet, as i stated NAS saved me.It's been 2 yrs & every day I believe NAS was "my miracle". Prior to then i was off work for 11 months in constant pain w/ loss of right leg reflexes. I tried "everything"--epidurals, lumbar decompression, PT, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, pain pills, muscle relaxants, ........( you get the picture). Then Accurascope L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1, DND. Three hours later I was having lunch pain free! Now I know at least 25 people from my Calif.that have traveled to TX for the Accurascope procedure & all are very happy they went to NAS. I went back to work in 2 weeks. And yes I'm back to doing the things I love to do- walking my 80 lb dog, river rafting, Zumba, traveling......

Karen, thanks for posting!!! Welcome to the forum.
Congratulations on your success. May the NAS surgery be the end of your career as a spine patient! Your point is very well taken... Many of the finest surgeons have litigation against them. This is especially true for surgeons with new procedures that make them an easy target. All the best, Mark

considerations
When reading what ADR seeker wrote I was getting a very bad feeling about this doctor and the accura scope however then reading what Karen wrote which I can greatly appreciate as I was an RN/NP and retired early due to my back probs I got an entirely different perspective so I thank you both for presenting what you did ~
I know when I had my percutaneous discectomy back in '92 and it failed horribly really making me much worse.. someone else I knew had the same surgery w/same surgeon and had great results and went back to her daily routine in medical school and running practically right away! I have always thought it's somewhat the luck of the draw with regard to results meaning if everything is done correctly and it's the right procedure for the right problem and the surgeon knows what he or she is doing .. sometimes things just don't go as well as hoped for/expected or other probs will ensue maybe because something was fixed even.

AccuraScope removes part of the annulus. The annulus is the hard part of the disk that keep the pulpulsus inside like the way a tire holds in air. Let's say you have a bulge in a tire and that bulge is rubbing against the fender. An idiot mechanic would shave off some of the bulge and eventually the bulge would grow again until the is catastrophic failure. A cheap fix would be to fix the bulge from the inside. The tire would not work quite as well but it would not explode The best solution is to replace it. Here are that patients are saying, "Accura Scope": Pain Management Community - Support Group
