Über diesen Titel

A stiff back and aching leg can look like a simple lower spine problem until the real culprit hides higher up. We share Diane’s journey from conservative care to targeted injections and, finally, two precisely timed surgeries that unlocked lasting relief. Along the way, our interventional pain specialist and neurosurgeon walk through how they think, starting with imaging and exam, testing hypotheses with blocks and epidurals and only then decide whether surgery is the safest, most effective move.

You’ll hear how short-lived relief from medial branch blocks, rhizotomy, and epidural injections became a diagnostic signal, not a failure. The turning point came with a second MRI that revealed severe cervical stenosis compressing the spinal cord, an insight that explained leg symptoms and shifted priority to neck surgery first. We break down why the cervical spine often takes precedence, how operating where the danger is highest can also calm symptoms elsewhere and why “smallest effective surgery” often beats a bigger, hardware-heavy approach.
