My first Basivertebral Nerve Ablation (Intracept) for vertebrogenic low back pain at Intermountain

@NicoleBKatzMD @SpauldingRehab @HarvardSRH_PMR @MGHWomensSports Congrats Nicole!

@JayKarriMD @DrJN_SportsMed Much like my case from today with patient presenting with T/L junction area pain on prolonged sitting and prolonged standing, without radicular features.

@JayKarriMD Metabolic syndrome discussion is a 1st visit conversation when talking about ANY degenerative msk condition. The art is in how to have that conversation without placing blame or shame

@Ryan_S_DSouzaMD Looks good! When image I expect doesn’t show, rotate to point towards the ear

@JayKarriMD @Ryan_S_DSouzaMD @C_KenyonDO @nasir418 @NasirKhatriMD Agreed. I’d say I get the view I want 50% of the time, but get very similar results whether it was directly imaged or not. Likely infiltrating the region gets your block rather than needing plane spread.

@jonhagedornmd @runliftrunlift Agreed Killens is great! But if you’re staying in Houston proper, The Pit Room is my favorite. Sit on the patio and enjoy the connected patio bar next door

@JayKarriMD @JSinghMD @AbdullahNewaj @Ryan_S_DSouzaMD Focused on the “no-shows” I see 😂

@Dr_Ankur_Patel @JayKarriMD @JSinghMD @AbdullahNewaj @Ryan_S_DSouzaMD Debating how much to lean into “spine” vs. just keeping it fun

@JayKarriMD @JayKarriMD just wanted to show that he doesn’t bend his needles 😜

@Sympathy4TheDr @JayKarriMD @Ryan_S_DSouzaMD @nasir418 @JSinghMD @MihirJoshiMD @VinnyFrancioMD @benjamin_gill @MateuszGraca @DrNvSportsSpine @SounSheen @Dr_Ankur_Patel @NasirKhatriMD @AbdullahNewaj @asterkawi Sure, we both agree that epidural hematoma is a known risk of ILESI. But I fail to see how live/continuous fluoro mitigates this risk

@Sympathy4TheDr @JayKarriMD @Ryan_S_DSouzaMD @nasir418 @JSinghMD @MihirJoshiMD @VinnyFrancioMD @benjamin_gill @MateuszGraca @DrNvSportsSpine @SounSheen @Dr_Ankur_Patel @NasirKhatriMD @AbdullahNewaj @asterkawi Of course, but that’s a conversation for AC in ILESI rather than live/continuous fluoro

@JayKarriMD @Sympathy4TheDr @Ryan_S_DSouzaMD @nasir418 @JSinghMD @MihirJoshiMD @VinnyFrancioMD @benjamin_gill @MateuszGraca @DrNvSportsSpine @SounSheen @Dr_Ankur_Patel @NasirKhatriMD @AbdullahNewaj @asterkawi Haha not a bad idea! All the attention goes to TFESI, but rightfully so. To my knowledge, no cases of neurologic injury specifically from intravascular ILESI (excluding direct neural injury)?

Incoming and graduating Fellows, join me with @IPSISMed tomorrow night, Tuesday 6/11, 8:30p ET. Registration:

@AbdullahNewaj Maybe try shoes next time too 🤷🏼‍♂️

@MateuszGraca We gave my dachshund human gabapentin after spinal cord injury because it was so much cheaper than the doggo brand!

Intraarticular SI Joint injections are the most difficult spine injection. Convince me otherwise!
