It was in Croatia...i live here. Dr Robert Saftic perform surgery. Try to contact him... Spinal surgery in Croatia - dr. Robert Saftic - Endoscopic, laser and micro-endoscopic spine surgery

I must mention again,i travel all around for my lumbal pain since i was 16. But this other neurosurgeons knows nothing. I realy dont know how i can know better some things about spine than they. I am not classic example as peoples with herniation seen on the mri.
i had discogenic pain,and dr saftic found this out with discography. He is best doc for me. Caring and want to help patients,not refusing them. I highly recomend him. 5 stars rating to dr Saftic
And which problem do u have with spine?

Newhere, can dr Saftic help you with your thoracic pain? Like maybe discography to see if it is from a disc?

I speak with him,and he think i have myofascial pain. No matter wich pill i take,the pain does not ease. I will speak with him about thoracic next time when i have visit.

Have you ever visited a chiropractor for that pain? I am doing the billing for one and he does some type of myofascial release. I will look it up and see what it is all about

Newhere,
I am glad you are keeping us posted. i also have problems when trying to stand up straight and walk. I always have my knees bent. I feel like i am leaning forward. I have a problem with where my lumbar lordosis is. From all my surgery or really from the last surgery on L2-L4 my lordosis has changed and caused this problem. I am seeing my spine surgeon on Monday and am going to request an x-ray to see where my curves are . He is sending me to physical therapy for this posture issue which i will start next week.
I hope you are feeling better.

Newhere - I have a central protrusion at L3/L4. Minimal to no low back pain. My chiief complaint is left leg sciatica to the top of my foot. I've had this for 1 1/2 years.

Starting to think about surgical options.

Newhere, I am sorry you are hurting. I am too unless i take pain meds. They only take care of about half of the pain. It is mostly in my lumbar area .
Get better
