I hear this so loudly! I have 2 connective tissue disorders which I was born with. I have fought to get through a lot of the side effects/ NUMEROUS comorbidities that I've faced, in increasing amounts as I've aged. I'll be 40 this year, and finally had what was supposed to be 1 of 2 double tunnel releases on my left wrist/elbow a month ago. I had a bilaterally "failed" EMG 6 months prior, after fighting for years because "i had good pulse and extreme flexibility, so there's no way there's severe issues causing the loss of all feeling". The simple tunnel releases turned into a rather intense "rearranging" instead of the simple cubital release, and the carpal was much more obviously needed when he got in there. I fought for the surgery, while being told it was an intense procedure and repeatedly asked if i really wanted to go through with it without having "severe" issues. I have Raynaud's bad enough my hands are cold outside in the summertime. I was proven right by the surgeon by being able to feel my fingers for the first time in years as soon as the block fully wore off. It took years to find someone who would simply order the EMG. Still battling to get the relief for my back and neck so i can avoid having to lay down 3-4 times a day, be able to actually feel my legs, stand up long enough to do basic tasks, and more. I don't have the energy to go to appointments everyday. I am so weak after just 1 day off going anywhere, that I'm very literally in bed for days following. That makes things like in person PT, which we all know is required for anything, very hard. I'm not overweight. I'm not old. I'm on disability. Yet I'm still ignored in the ways that matter. I hope to finally have insurance appeased enough to manage resuming the spinal ablations i had been getting prior to covid, but it's been 4 years since they stopped all non emergent procedures and here i am still battling, while trying to have a way to still lead a normal life for myself, my children, and my family. Things are changing, and aren't as bad as they used to be, yet we haven't come that far with being heard, and subsequently treated correctly, when we talk. Hospitals are businesses, pushing doctors to see more patients a day, and insurance refuses to cover the things the doctors deem necessary for their patients(which in turn saves the companies because many of us can't afford the numerous hoops required to jump through and/or can't go to the numerous visits just to be told nothing changes... yet again). I believe that until insurance companies are required to stop deciding what's necessary, and we can actually be treated in a way we need, as well as more doctors truly hear us, we are stuck. This isn't a secret to many. It is, howbeit, an issue the more wealthy rarely see, meaning it is not known to them. When they hear about it, it is blown off as a patient caused problem(laziness, over exaggeration, ect.), or a one off, and so on. Unless they have lived a life that let's then see first hand, it isn't believed to be real.

I can relate to this patient as I identify as a cat but born as a human and been told I’m a psychiatric case because my tail is broken. Nobody in the medical field is helping me. Maybe you can highlight this in your upcoming podcast with Anna O’Brien. She’s truly a medical mystery.

You’re not a psychiatrist…this is terrible that you are diagnosing people online. Get out of here and work on the actual patients you have in your office-that is, if you’re truly even a doctor. They should pull your license if so

Oh my gosh! Lady…you must be the worse doctor in the world if you’re hurting your patients while taking blood. WOW! What a world

What kind of quack doctor are you? This is basic anatomy of the female body. I leaned this the very first time I used a tampon. Girl…you should be soooo embarrassed coming on here as a medical “professional” stating they don’t know how to insert a tampon. Holy cow!

Stick to orthopedics. You’re not an expert in these things and you shouldn’t be influencing the masses with your opinions if you’re not a doctor in that field. Also, you’re partnering with Anna O’Brien for a “medical mystery” podcast? Anna has a good addiction and is in denial: medical mystery solved

Dr. Shawn Baker is an orthopedic surgeon and nutritional advocate for healing by following a carnivore way of eating.

Glitch in the video. Cuts off the ending

I met my total out of pocket on February 1st!

This video came across my feed and given my history I was drawn to watch this; I’ve never seen your videos before Dr Nance but I’m grateful there are medical professionals like you who take this sort of thing seriously and aim to treat patients with compassion That being said, I don’t say this to discount the very real suffering that people who have or are suspected to have fibromyalgia go through, and I want to make this very clear-I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 23 years old after suffering with severe chronic pain for many years and so I understand what it’s like to be invalidated, dismissed, and gaslit by medical professionals I am not a medical professional, but what I do have is a lot of personal experience and anecdotal understanding and I want to say that if you have or suspect you have fibromyalgia… look in to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, primarily hypermobile type (hEDS) and/or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) While doctors have gotten better about researching and recognizing these conditions, it was once thought they were extremely rare and doctors are increasingly realizing the degree to which these conditions are actually undiagnosed (many think it’s so rare they’ll likely never have a patient with the condition) After suffering in pain for most of my life with chronic musculoskeletal and joint issues, severe fatigue, GI issues, and various other symptoms and finding no relief from any medical interventions, I had someone in a chronic illness support group I was in urge me to look into EDS; when I did, I realized this condition explained almost every single symptom I was experiencing whereas they had often been thought to be separate issues and treated as such by my doctors I was diagnosed about a year later by a geneticist at age 28-after receiving this diagnosis doctors finally started to take me more seriously and I’m extremely grateful that I was able to access care properly tailored to my condition so I could begin to see improvement and I now have less pain than I can ever remember having I still have chronic pain, but it is not nearly as severe and I am much stronger and more mobile; I was in and out of physical therapy for *years* prior to diagnosis and never made improvements and spent years housebound due to my symptoms, but after being diagnosed and working with PTs who knew what to do with me it’s like I’m a completely different person and I’m much better equipped to handle my symptoms and flares I say all this because not only was I misdiagnosed for years, but because I know many other people who were diagnosed with fibromyalgia and later diagnosed with hEDS or HSD, and without exception, every person I knew who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in their 20s or 30s had some degree of hypermobility and a symptom constellation that could be explained by one of these conditions (EDS or HSD), and I believe fibromyalgia can often be the result of one of these conditions going untreated and unrecognized When I was finally diagnosed the geneticist who diagnosed me was so disheartened because he said I was a “textbook case” and it was concerning that no doctor had been able to diagnose me, especially considering I brought it up as a possibility to multiple doctors and even provided research and clinical evidence Receiving my hEDS diagnosis didn’t make all of my problems go away of course, and I still frequently have to advocate for my care, but it finally helped me understand what was actually happening with my body and it likely saved my life Regardless of what you’re going through, I want to reassure you that your pain is real and deserves to be recognized, validated, and properly treated I also know that many of us are suffering beyond what is necessary when there are genuinely helpful medical interventions if you can get the right diagnosis and find providers able to properly treat your condition I know this is easier said than done and not everyone has access to professionals and support for this, and I know that even with my struggles with diagnosis I consider myself extremely lucky to have figured this out and received more substantial care since There is hope, and we all deserve care that allows us to feel that that’s the truth 🩷

I was mentally and emotionally abused by a narcissistic parent growing up. I think that's where it comes from. Mental pain that the brain rewires because of. Like it thinks you're in such mental pain that there MUST be physical damage, but since you don't physically feel anything, your nerves must not be working right. So the brain responds by making your physical body more sensitive...

I fought for over 7 years for disability for my fibro but was denied over and over. I finally just gave up and suffer yhrough it.

Thank you for showing up and speaking out for the unheard.

My doctor is trying right now what is effecting my health and causing all the pain and issues. One of the thing she's considering is it might be fibromyalgia (also considering lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) still waiting to hear bk for an appt gor a rheumatologist. Till they get bk to us she asked if id try pain management (i dont like to take medicine unless i just have to but agreed. ) when i went there and was explaining to the doctor there what my doctor tols me when insaid fibromyalgia he literally laughed in my face and told me my doctor is am idiot because fibromyalgia is t even real. And now im bl and square one till the rheumatologist calls and can rule things out one by one.

If only as had an ending to this story

I have something they can't diagnose and of course they want me to take Antidepressants to which only added to my problems because I am definately not depressed nor do I have Anxiety Guess they can't admit they don't know.

Is there a difference between gel nails and gelX nails?

This happened to my mom and she had to get puss drilled out of her nail

Lipitor causes muscle pain but my doctor told me it comes on quickly as soon as you start the drug.

I don't actually take lipitor but i do have hand pain so i was interested in this story. And i take several other meds

Wait...lipitor side effects can be what???! It cut out at the worst possible moment 😭

Even better don't wear poles

Thank you doc !!!😊❤

Ok misleading title, but I stayed for the amazing story. That is one heck of a caring and dedicated teacher! I bet there are other students with stories like that about that doctor. You know he impacted those students. And those residents became great doctors because of that.

Odd. The title of this video to me is Boyka combo tutorial. So I was curious on how it would go with the talk about spine surgery.

Interesting story but you could have put your glasses aside. Also, I don't understand the tags. Did the patient get a disc injury performing martial art techniques?

I have no idea what any of this is but I'm all for the crazy hats

This is uncommon kindness for a surgeon. Thanks for sharing.

Lay off Dr Nance. All the trolls in the comments need to eat a bag. And although I’m not in medicine, I’ve listened to my mother, the retired nurse, talk about surgeons since the 80’s. Finding a surgeon like that is like finding a unicorn.

Awww GirrrL, you made ME even tear🥲up some! That was an Amazingly Awesome Story. Thank you so much for sharing it. 🫶🏼 Oh, & Merry X-mas btw.

He was the consummate professional and teacher. You learned a lot from that experience!!

That's so sweet! Kindness like that really sticks in one's memories. It really costs nothing to be kind.

You are a Gem, but dead sneakers are a No! In the OR?! Those sneakers have names after 10 years!! Girl... Merry Christmas and Thank You for doing a wonderful job! 📯🎄☃️🥃🦌🦌🛷

They still make those shoes. If you've had them 10 years, the midsole foam is compressed by now and not providing proper support. Also, you shouldn't wear disgusting shoes in a hospital

Crying? C'mon.

So interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for all that you do for so many. God bless you

You my dear have been very well educated and you still follow important rules. Even if you weren’t taught these rules, I applaud you for your discernment, wisdom and care of humans you treat. You are a very rare breed . Never lose that. What you do SAVES lives!!!!

Do people usually wear their glasses on a lanyard while doing surgery? Seems like it would be a decent precaution.

Awesome! You are a hero! ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤

The nail polish also collects bacteria...especially under any chips or dings and around the cuticle. Nail polish on health care workers gives me the CREEPS

Great info. Thank you for being kind , considerate, respectful, and engaging with family. I had a major surgery, and were very patient with me. ❤

Thank you for all you do, absolutely ❤you and all medical team❤❤❤❤

Loups, not loops.

Oh yes, the days of no hairspray, no makeup, no perfume and no nail polish. When women overcame everything, including the nasty smells of the men.

I work in a clean room we cant wear any jewelry

WoW.... Things I've never known!! Or even considered!!! Seriously.. Thanks

Think you'd to change your or shoes years ago

thanks for the tour
