Same. Got into an accident in 2017, suffered compression fractures, and my back hasn't been the same. I also started to develop wicked sciatic pain over time. However, I have since started working out regularly again and my pain has subsided substantially. I have no sciatic pain and my back hurts less since becoming more active. The mostly sedentary lifestyle I had been living for a few years had been damaging my body. It's crazy actually how much exercise improves your overall wellbeing.

Remember at the initial consult when we discussed it taking at least 6-8 weeks for the bone to heal?

My dog broke her hip after a car rammed her (we were in the middle of the woods!) and the doc said they wouldnt do a surgery and rather let it heal naturally (i was really, really skeptical of this) She had to stay in her box for like 3 - 5 months and i had to take her to work with me (you simply cannot leave your dog 6 hours in a small box alone (i mean, she was mostly still in the box, but not alone)) It was kinda heart breaking to see her like this, only moving like maybe a few meters in the beginning, in like the last 1-2 months she was only in the box at night to prevent her from jumping (she really liked jumping from beds etc.) Now she is fine again and always when she jumps off the bed again i am like flinching internaly. Its amazing that all this worked without surgery.

Oh my goodness same!! I have a chronic tendon problem that my mother and her mother both have. Random tendons will randomly swell up every couple of days. Most of the time if just hurts but I can still function, every few weeks I get one where the area is throbbing and completely immobile. The worst is when the back of my neck swells up and everything above my shoulders is rigid and painful. I’ve had it for as long as I can remember, and according to google tendinitis only occurs when you injure a tendon, so I guess it’s just a weird thing that runs in our family. It’s pretty ridiculous, I’m only 16 but some days I’m hobbling around like an old lady.

As a person with chronic back pain I can only testify that the options of painkillers is really limited with chronic pain. At my worst point I had to take 5 100mg gabapentin, 8 500mg panodil, 3-4 400mg ipren a day, along with 1 50mg Quetiapin to stop my mind from constantly thinking about the pain, and the jabs I get when turning, when I was supposed to be sleeping. In November, December and January I was at a rehabilitation clinic and now I no longer take any painkillers even though the pain isn’t gone, I learned new ways of handling it and come up with new ways of going about so it lessens the impact on my back.

As an environmental scientist I was kinda annoyed too. It makes for good drama and a way for you not to go back, but you can do some real damage disposing of pharmaceuticals down the toilet.

I know exactly what he has gone through. When i was 15 i had an accident during one of my treatments for my rheumatic arthritis. They accidentally made the injections through a culture of streptococcus on the skin of my foot. They got into my foot joint. Developed into extreme case of sepsis in my foot and lower leg. Leading to total destruction of my entire lower leg. Not like this guy, i mean. Completely destroyed. My foot joint and the lower knots of my tibia and fibula were almost completely destroyed, the bone and all soft tissue turned into brown sludge or similar to clay. The bone structure was able to be saved trough going in several times and scrubbing and draining it after i decided that i wanted to save it if possible. They wanted to cut it off. It was horrible and was the bad option in hindsight because the leg has been a constant issue ever since tbh. The damage and the bones they had to remove made the leg very short compared to my other leg and my joint had to be fixed in place until my bone set and regrew as a clump. Due to the damage it had caused during the 2 years of getting the infection fixed and waiting for my puberty to be fuse my bones. So my growth would get as far as it could before we permanently destroyed it as i still was growing. During those 2 years they put in so much titanium that my foot looks like wolverine on X-rays, fixing my foot in a fixed position. My veins, nerves and muscles wasn´t destroyed. So the whole leg could be "saved" in the end of it all. But yeah, They did save it. Don´t get me wrong. They did an awesome job. Due to my underlying Auto-immun disease and systematic rheumatic arthritis i got seriously sick and was about to die. They save me too. But i´m a bit salty because i WISH they would have told me that keeping the leg would be worse then a prosthetic. I hate to be pessimistic but, it has made my everyday life just a bit more difficult. My chronic auto-immun disease, systematic rheumatic arthritis and now a destroyed leg too. It is a bit much sometimes. I have taken Oxy since i was 24 (I´m 36 now) and it is a horrible, evil pill. Opium is no joke. When it digs its claws and fangs into you, you´re fucked. But i can´t live without it either. My auto-immun disease makes my immune system (my white blood cells) now understand their function. They attack all soft tissue or rather my own cells instead of fighting of infections and bacteria. They don´t understand that they are a apart of my body. So they started breaking down my soft tissues in all my joints, my nervs and some of my organs. Which is why i have systematic rheumatic arthritis actually. It is like having a thinking, reactive acid in my whole body. So pain relief is a must in my case. But i have complete respect for what he went through. I have been wrestling and fighting with the opium urges my whole life. It is difficult to find a balance on it where it just works. It is a potentially evil substance. "Fun" Story: They killed all my red blood cells for an entire year, 2 years ago. I was anemic for 1 and a half year because my blood got killed by my own immun system. Dropped to a third of my estimated red blood cell count (34hb to around 60Hb, should have 137) every 4-7 days and needed to get donated blood to get it back up to about 90 hb every 3-7 days, so 1 to 2 times every week so i didn´t "bleed" to death. That was an insane experience. Living with that little red blood cells in your body is a challenge. You can´t really do anything because i just can´t stand up. The oxygen in your lungs needs to be portioned out to your whole body but there is no blood to take it there quick enough. So you feel like you don´t get any oxygen if you just stand. And my head felt like it would explode. It was okey in the beginning but after 1 whole year of that. I was actually dying. My body was giving up. It couldn´t take it. We tried everything to fix it and nothing, absolutely NOTHING worked. It was extremely frustrating for all of us. My doctor actually almost started crying towards the end during the rounds, because she just didn´t know what to do. But then my immun system just wen into remission! It just stopped killing my red blood cells and i was cured. Like as if it was all just a prank or something. It has done stuff like that my whole life, this isn´t the first time it killed my red blood cells or some other types of cells in my body. It happens randomly but luckily not often. But you never know what its going to do when it starts up again. It is unbelievably weird. Nobody understands it, nobody. None of my many, many doctors have a clue how it is happening either. It has actually been a international dilemma. I know i have doctors my Swedish doctors send all the information about my many different symptoms to all over Europe. I have a doctor in Germany, France, Denmark, Finland and a few more but i´m not sure where they´re from. Some of them wanted to use my material for their classes at universities, i don´t know who wanted what though so i can´t link anything. I was asked to sign a legal paper that allowed them to use some information from my journal in order to make a class study about my symtoms. But i have never seen what came out of it or anything sadly. I actually think that would be super cool to see. I was asked if my case could be used in a study about auto-immune diseases from my childhood doctor when he became a professor. a study in Hep C and its effects on someone with Auto-immun disease and systematic rheumatic arthritis. Because i was 1 of only 6 children at the time in all of Europe to have that diagnoses. I got it from a guy that donated blood and was a heroin addict. Back in the early 2000s that still happened. Which was especially interesting for doctors because it made my other two pre-existing disorders got into berserk mode. But that is a loooong and detailed story that i can´t get into here. I have already been ranting and writing to much. So, before i get lost in my memories again. My point is: I Understand his pain and what he feels. I have gone through it too. It will always be a struggle. A life long and painful struggle. But life somehow never becomes awful and unbearable in my experience. You can always find something that brightens up your day. You just gotta have a positive outlook and try your best to just focus on stuff that makes you happy and fills you with something that makes you happier than the drugs do. But i know that it might feel tough and impossible sometimes. But as long as we just keep going and find ways to enjoy life, we can take anything tbh. Pain and "suffering" is a good teacher too. It often gives me a perspective that i feel most people don´t have when i talk to them about this type of stuff. Which has always been a point of pride for me. It opens your eyes to a perspective of the world that makes it much more interesting, it teaches us empathy and it makes the world seem way bigger. Because i feel like i can understand when others struggle all over the world aswell. It is easier to understand what people struggle with if you have gone through it yourself. So in some ways, it is a good tool to be sick sometimes. Not just suffering. There is actually a lot of good in it too, even if it often hard to figure out how it is good. Anyways, i am ranting AGAIN so i´ll stop here. To anyone that reads this, i love ya and i wish you a wonderful day.

I had a very scary experience several years ago related to this kind of communication issue. I had eye surgery and I asked the doctor what I could expect in terms of pain afterward, the doctor said (paraphrasing) something along the lines of "ah it wont be too bad, some pain yes but don't worry". On the way home (it was outpatient surgery) the pain started and was intense. The kind of pain that results in complete inability to function, sitting still was difficult, talking was difficult, a total obliteration of the ability to concentrate on anything else but the pain. I had been given a strong topical painkiller of some sort in eye drop form but only a very limited amount as using too much would be damaging to the eye. So I had to ration it, the entire rest of the day was a cycle of increasing pain until it reached levels that I would describe as the worst I have ever experienced in my life. Never before had I experienced pain that actually made me involuntarily cry. Then about 30mins of relief after using the eye drops before the pain began to ramp up again. On the second day the pain was less but still extreme and the information leaflet I had been given after the surgery only said "come back to the hospital if pain increases or becomes severe". But I had no idea what counts as severe or over what time period they were talking about, plus the Hospital was several hours away and I could not get there on my own, I lived alone and was only able to get the surgery because friends took the day off work to drive me. So I was shocked and frankly scared because it was so unexpected and I didn't know what to do. In the end I got advice from a local Pharmacist on the phone who was extremely helpful and really helped to calm what by that stage was turning into near panic. In the end everything worked out ok but the doctor made a huge mistake from my perspective not informing me (even after the surgery at the post-op checkup/observation time) properly about the potential of what I was really going to experience, I'm the type of person who prefers to know, always. Also in being clearer what level of pain would actually be considered unexpected and could suggest an issue that requires further investigation.

@@alorockss In my system I can't contact the surgeon directly or at that time the consultant (because by the time I was home and getting worried it was out of hours). Plus you don't get a direct number for the consultant but just their office. Also remember I was in pain so hardly able to think or plan in a coherent manner. The drops were extremely strong and they warned me to use them judiciously because I couldn't get any more due to eye damage from over use. They also gave me other moderate (not over the counter) painkillers and a sleeping tablet. I understand it's difficult or impossible to say objectively what level of pain anyone will experience, because everyone is different. I strongly suspect they were vague and underplayed it to prevent me becoming anxious during the surgery as I was awake with my eyelids clamped open and head restrained. So they were worried about movement and panic at that time. However they had an opportunity to give me at least the range of experiences of others after the surgery, during the 30mins observation period. If they had told me I might have experienced pretty high pain levels and been clearer on what extreme or serious pain was in their metric and over what time was meaningful (as in if it persisted for several days or etc) I would have been much better equipped to understand what was happening and make more informed or better decisions.

Weirdly enough it's "nice" to see that even influencers do have their deal of health issues. I've been struggling with chronic pain for 8 years after an accident, I've been on and off pain killers, and docs, specialists and even psychiatrists can't seem to find a solution to it. So, it's inspiring, somehow.

As a 57 year old veteran who is about 100lbs overweight, I recently went back to the gym. About 3 years ago, I had been working out and had lost some weight but had a freak (non-workout related) accident where I shattered my kneecap and detached my patellar tendon. After some family tragedies, loss of employment and the pandemic, I am now back to trying to get back into shape and be healthy again. This time I decided to take a personalized diet plan from Next Level Diet, and even hire a personal trainer to make sure I don't cause injuries to my 57 year old body with all my limitations from past accidents and age. My trainer and I are focusing on strength training to help with injury prevention and prevent osteoporosis (which runs in my family) and help with arthritis and balance. It has been about a month and I am already feeling so much stronger!!😎😎

Movement and the help of a knowledgeable PT come through so much with this type of problem when so many unnecessary surgeries and painkiller prescriptions happen. In recent years there's evidence that arthroscopic meniscus repair surgery actually showed no better outcomes than sham surgery (when patients had meniscus repair but no knee OA).

I work in pre/post for a level 1 trauma center and I love this video. Shows a lot of the process.

DPT student here!! That’s why PT after surgery is so crucial. In Ned’s case sitting and icing for long periods of time can lead to joint adaptations and loss of functional movement within that joint. Controlling the pain and inflammation while mobilizing the joint definitely leads to better outcomes.

Totally a doctor response, "Don't dump narcotics down the toilet, but I probably over prescribed your painkillers. Dispose of them wisely."

Yay!! Ned! I love the Try Guys! I remember watching them on Buzzfeed, starting their own channel was the best thing that they did!!

Thank you for making content on the platform of KZread. From a young age I’ve always been fascinated with health science and your videos help build up that fascination. I am currently taking a medical terminology coarse as a sophomore in high school and your videos help me keep going. Thank you Dr. Mike!

A septic joint is super bad news so we always try to treat ASAP! and yeah, pain relief options in general are pretty limited - we usually use the WHO pain ladder to help guide prescriptions according to pain levels

"...meniscus..." Every time Dr Mike explains some anatomy thing I understand the anatomy way better than I did before.

For my hand surgeons, we're to use either clear or orange tinted prep; never blue/teal. The patient or PACU rn's think that the limb is cyanotic. As far as that blue scribble area - that was most likely the surgeon's initial and "YES", indicating that they have seen the pt prior to surgery and that the site marked is the correct surgical site

Love when Dr Mike reminds me my doctor should be better. (Current have a stand in while my main is on leave)

Thought I would share this with you, I am taking a class called medical detectives where we are currently learning about the nervous system and what happens in the nervous system and recently finding a unit or diagnosing patients with either a virus or bacteria. Today we had a doctor come in and he was a scientist who works on DNA, RNA, and viruses. He taught us about how they name viruses, what he does in the lab, and so much more! I love this class and I am doing much better in it because of what I learned from Dr.Mike! Thanks Dr.Mike.

I literally laughed out loud when Mike got concerned about the green surgical prep that used. : D

Hearing him say he couldn't do it without Ariel and knowing what came next hurt 🥲

So I actually have experienced a very rear medical condition at the age of 10 that nearly killed me. My father got me my first communion via my last rights, that’s how close they said I was to dying. It started with an osteomyelitis in my right growth plate and spread to my heart giving me endocarditis and my lungs. On top of that the initial swelling in my knee caused multiple DVTs. I spent exactly one month in CCMC here in CT. I was also given crazy opioids at the age of TEN.

great vid. my mother shattered her patella. the current doctors we had said that it was just a bruise (only symptoms were pain, swelling, and redness) so they just sent her home and it took a year of the swelling and pain never going away for us to go to a different doctor and they almost immediately scheduled surgery and were incredibly surprised that she was able to walk and handle the pain for as long as she did. during that year she did constantly go back to the hospital but they just kept sending her home saying that the swelling would eventually go away. she has recovered at this point but every now and then her knee just kind of freezes and sticks in place.

the kind of pain we’re facing is key to actually choose what kind of approach to use. I felt like in the beginning of the video we didn’t get much info on that and oxy just sounds like some very poor decision making nowadays. Joint infections are awful to treat! I’m glad he turned out fine! I really enjoyed the video! I’m an anaesthesiologist from Brazil so it’s great having someone bring cool cases form me to compare our protocols, diagnosis tools and treatment choices! Thanks doctor!

Dr Mike, another brilliant video!! Fascinating stuff!!🤓🤓

When I had ankle surgery they had me on oxy for only about 2 weeks and going off of it made me a crazy emotional wreck; was just non-stop crying for no reason and paranoid as heck. If there's ever a next time I'd rather just push through the pain than be on oxycodone again.

Some people react that way. Just keep in mind that you can talk to your surgeon beforehand, give your experience and ask for a different type of medication. Turns out thata oxycodone is more likely to cause euphoria and confused feelings (they describe it so politely) than some other drugs. It's worth trying a dose before white knuckling it.

Managing patient expectations is an incredibly important part of practicing medicine.

The crossover no one expected, but everyone wanted

i’m 16 and i had a cadaver tendon put across my knee about 6 years ago and about a year ago i had a severe shoulder injury that im still dealing with. DO YOUR PT AND DONT RUSH INJURIES, it will help you a lot in the end

I 100% feel like he had an unreasonable set of expectations of what he was going to be getting out of that surgery. As someone who has suffered with knee issues and knee surgery for most of my life, his expectations were quite high.

That's on the docs as well, a whole part of the surgical or even just injury recovery process is goal oriented. You tell them what you'd like to get back to do after healing, and they tell you if and when if that's even possible. When I tore multiple ligaments and dislocated my knee, I was told early on, it won't ever be the way it was before...and 6 years later, I still have issues. So at least I had a heads up.

Yeah I had grade 2 meniscus tears on both knees, got surgery but they still hurt like someone is stabbing me with tiny knives and they get swollen sometimes, nothing like before surgery. I also have arthritis on both of them + I have dermatomyositis which doesn't help at all how shitty my knees are

I remember being prescribed strong pain meds every time I had dental work, a uti, a seizure (I'm epileptic), or just had back pain from over extending myself. I was lucky I never became addicted and I'm glad those meds aren't so easily prescribed anymore.

As someone who struggles with chronic pain (knee, neck, headache, fibromyalgia, back etc) it’s been so hard to battle the pain management aspect of my life. I see a pain management doctor monthly to address medications and therapies. I live a productive and active life (I work with horses, exercise, walk) because I’m not winging it with just prescription medications. I also receive weekly PT, warm pool swimming, tens, traction, and patches. At times we need to treat more than just the pain. We need to treat our whole self to conquer these issues.

I am getting so much information from this channel.😶😊 And i really appreciate that.

This man is insane!! Wish I had a friend like him :(

Blew my ACL at 19. My physio (she also treated professional rugby players) told me 'you can try running again in 3 months and blow your knee again within 3 years. Rugby players do that because their careers are so short. Or you can work towards a 6 months recovery and that knee might last forever, or at least 12 years before you need to redo it. It's your choice'. It's been more than 15yrs and only now is the ACL starting to feel a bit loose again.

Y'all should do a behind the scenes video to show what work goes into the channel, I've always been curious

I had a patient who was in total denial about how a clot went from his amputated leg to his lungs and was calling bull. So he left AMA and came back in about 3 hours complaining of chest pain

I would love an episode about chronic pain. I have being in pain for 7 years now due to several herniated disc in my back. The best option I have found, obviously with my doctor, is exercise. I go to the gym 5 days a week for 1 or 2 hours a day. It doesn't eliminate the problem, but I can have a normal life.

Thank you for sharing this video about Ned. As I was watching, I was wondering if he received physical therapy. I was glad to hear that Ned did receive this service. I wish I could have seen more of Ned' rehab experience. Dr. Mike, while you were talking, you mentioned that sometimes patients might not be able to do perform certain activities such as soccer because of their knee injury. This is where I became frustrated because I don't believe this is the case. This is where occupational therapy would come in & help the person make adaptations in order to achieve their goals. Maybe a person might not be able to play soccer the way they used too, but there are other ways to incorporate soccer into their life. Did Ned receive occupational therapy? If not, he probably should have. I hope that you can have an occupational therapist on your channel one day to talk about the profession & how we work with the medical community. At the end of the day, I enjoyed the video & appreciated Ned's vulnerability.

Cross over I never thought I’d be excited for lol

omg i literally almost fell to tears when he started talking about painkillers

I realize that it's highly variable as to where it's legal and in what forms, but I think it's worthwhile to mention cannibidiol (CBD) for pain management. It was a lifesaver for me when I had a herniated disc, especially as I know that I am prone to addiction. I remember listening to a science news podcast about a decade ago about a study showing that opiate overdoses had declined significantly in states that had legalized cannabis, and thinking, "well, duh... why wouldn't you want pain management without the risk of chemical dependency?!"

I broke my left shoulder during a seizure. It's been operated on twice, both arthroscopically. The first time was to repair the break in the humeral head by putting a screw in it to hold the bone together. They also stitched up a tear in the labrum. It went fine. I recovered in about 3 weeks. I was good to go. Four years later I'm noticing when I reach over my head, my shoulder is locking up. There's a lot of pain rotating my arm. I go in to the orthopedic center. One x-ray later they tell me the screw has backed itself out of its hole and is wiggling around. The second surgery was to remove it. That was six months ago. I'm still having a lot of pain in that joint and I'm not able to lift my arm over my head. Now, they did say the humeral head is a bit deformed because of how the break healed but I was fine for 4 years. It's so frustrating so I understand where this guy is coming from. I didn't have the opioid problem, though. The media has scared me so badly about opioids that I didn't fill the prescription of Percocet they gave me both times. I managed it with ice and ibuprofen. It sucked. But I got through it without an addiction. I still need to go back and find out why I'm still in so much pain, though. Im envious of this guy. He got back to normal and I haven't.

My brother got into the ODPs (olympic development program) and at the same time tore his ACL. His surgery took months to scedule and got put back a month because he got one of those extreme covid tests where it can read 2 months before and after you get it. He never got any symptoms but "had covid". but we were also scared that he tore his meniscus since he kept playing baket ball and whilt his knee buckled and he heard the same pop. Luckily his meniscus was fine but he had to regain full mobility. he just got surgery, and before his two week PT appointment is kicking a ball around. he is also not on crutches. Although we are not sure if his competitive soccer career will ever be the same.

I've had many spine surgeries and the one constant thing in my mind was I didn't want to get addicted to pain killers.

When I got home I only took painkillers if someone accidentally touched my back wrong or we were changing dressings.

As a person with chronic migraines, yes, there are no medications- Just a change of your lifestyle and attacking your triggers (mine were mainly stress and poor sleeping habits) really helped a lot. It's returning because of job stress but otherwise, my pain wasn't as terrible as it used to be.

I can relate completely with the concept that doctors in the past would over prescribe painkillers and I know someone who has been in a position of taking heavy pain medication and how hard it is to stop taking them. My older sister (36yrs) was rushed to the hospital I think 5 or 4 yrs ago on the day of my birthday because she sat down and suddenly couldn't sit up. When we finally spoke to the doctor it turned out my sister had an epithelioid hemangioma which was located by her spine. My sister had to go into surgery and basically remove 1 or 2 ribs to get to the tumor. However after removing due to the tumour her spinal vertebrae for the thoracic 6,7,8 were so damaged they had to fuse them and put rods in. The really screwed up part is she had to go in twice due to the screws from the first surgery being to long risking a puncture to her aorta. I wasn't able to see my sister until 2 months after the surgery because she didn't want me to see how much pain she was in and my parents said I probably wouldn't of recognized her. Anyway once she could no longer get the pain medication she needed due to the fact my mother couldn't afford to keep her on the insurance my sister's husband began hooking her to meth. In 2018 Me and my parents along with my sister moved to the UK and due to the rare benign tumor my sister had removed the GP just didn't believe it even though she has 7 in incision scar on her back and 4 in incision scar on her right where the two ribs were removed. In UK there is drug call tramadol which is an opioid that not as harsh as oxycotin but the GPs are always weary and try to solve the issues with physiotherapy and that is good example of how different treatment can be for free healthcare to private.
