there are VERY FEW NEUROSURGEONS who will touch this with a ten foot pole, and I'm TIRED OF IT. Minimally invasive endoscopic reduction of the spatulated transverse process is showing 80-90% relief for over a year on followed studies now. BUT, (and what is ALIF?) A NEUROSURGEON needs to perform this for the obvious reasons, ie: NERVE INVOLVEMENT. Why are so many surgeons RELUCTANCT to put this label on it? It is OBVIOUSLY APPARENT this is what it is. Some suggest "burning " the nerve, hey, got news for you, it only grows back and YOU HAVE CAUSED SCAR TISSUE making the whole thing worse. Wish I could find someone in Colorado to do it.

Would you be willing to share which exercises benefit the most? I too had a routine of exercises, but after a non related surgery and months of no exercise I am concerned that some of my old exercises may be doing harm instead of good. Thank you.

I can not sit in any chair that requires me to sit L shaped. but I'm able to sit (uncomfortably) in a bucket seat in my car leaned back one foot up on the dash (luckily not the foot I drive with) for short duration trips. We could suffer different issues, but I regularly do massage therapy for keeping the muscles some what flexible, I can spend 30 plus hours a week laying on a jive dog ball ( 2 inch) on a board to massage the muscles around the pelvis, to get moments of short mobility.

Hello Misa
My name is Damien
(England)
I'm 27 years old, i have had cluster headaches since i was 20, i also have Bertolottis syndrome, shoulder ache many knots on my back and upper body, have never been able to touch my toes,I have spent many years and a LOT of money trying to find the cause of the headaches, I now believe it is the Bertolottis that is responsible for all the pain I have felt in my upper body and lower back (including the cluster headaches), being that the back muscle runs from ur butt to your head, I am currently looking into surgery, (avoiding any fusion surgery, heard nothing but bad things about it) but just FYI if u have facial pain or head aches, i have found massive relief with a DAITH ear peircing, there is no medical research proving it works but it has saved my life, massive and i mean Massive pain reduction, not a complete cure though, but for £25 an absolute bargain,

Be careful of Advil, our daughter too was in chronic pain and was taking Ibuprofen daily. She ended up with blood in her urine, difficulty urinating, and a headache that literally never went away. This was all caused by too much Ibuprofen.

Hi, I am a 22 year old girl from the Philippines, and has been suffering from lower back pain since last year (2015). It's common in our country to use a bucket of water when taking a shower, and at home our toilet flush isn't working so I tried lifting a bucket of water to fill the toilet. That's the moment when I felt and intense sharp pain in my lower back. I thought that I might have just dislocated something in my back so I went to a doctor and had a xray. It showed normal. But then as days pass by I have been experiencing an "on and off" back pain, usually triggered when I lie flat on the floor or lifting something heavy from the ground. There are few instances when I wake up at th emiddle of the night and suffer from right leg numbness and its super scary because my leg feels so "dead" :(
I went for another x-ray this week and just now I saw the diagnosis to be "Transverse vertebrae; Lumbarized S1 and anomalous articulation in L5". I was searching online and found the Bertolotti syndrome. I have yet to confirm to my doctor my actual diagnosis, but I'm still scared about what will happen to me in the future. Knowing that it's congenital, it might have consequences in the future, and I just want to know if there are good treatments for this kind of disease. Thank you.

Hello,
does anybody still use this forum? The comments/feedback are from a year ago. I'm looking for alternative pain relief ideas for this. X-Ray results clearly indicate Bertolotti Syndrome, yet Doctor cannot be sure it is the cause of my constant back pain for the last 2 years and has been reluctant to pursue further testing. To say I'm frustrated is being kind.
