This just happen to me on Jan 27, 2023! 39Yrs of age healthy athletic man. So sad hearing other stories like mine! They tried to blame it on the gym im the hospital as well! I would love to share my story
My husband just went through a very similar situation. His was Spontaneous carotid dissection. He’s 41. Did 22 years in Army. He’s is a huge gym buff. Gets up at 0345 to hit gym before work and even work outs after work. He loves the gym. But for Christmas 2022 I bought him a massage gun. After hard work outs his muscles would get sore. So he would use it. In July 2023 he woke with horrible neck pain he went to work with the massage gun. within a day he woke with vertigo which he has never experienced. That went on for a couple of weeks. Then a week later Aug 4 started with tingling in his right hard. Aug 7 went to ÉR because the tingling and numbness got worse. They saw the carotid but sent him home with steroids and muscle relaxers. But Aug 11 his right hand and arm stopped working all together. We returned to ER 3 more times. It wasn’t until Aug 20th they finally decided to do MRI of brain and found he had multiple strokes. It’s been a rough road these past couple of months.
Gracious! That’s so scary. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope your husband is doing better! There is real risk with using these things close to vasculature. I hope he recovers well. Go Army!
I got a neck adjustment 3 weeks ago and after that I started feeling weird (you know when something is off on your body) and neck pain. Got my ct on that week and only showed neck spasm. Was on medication for 2 weeks for muscle relaxant. Had my cervical MRI but no damages where seen, however up until now I still weird, sleepy, zoned out, not feeling my natural self/energy prior the injury, hopefully someone have some ideas. tia!
The same thing happen to me this past may 2023 and I was using a high end one and using it the way they are taught in the video from their web site and suffered the same thing as Lilly suffering a VAD and than a stroke
I have a severe stenosis of vertebral 4 artery found on Head and neck CT with dye. I dove into a pool age 18ish ..had a whip lash in my 50’s , serious 15 yr history of severe migraines , extreme pressure applied by helper when pushing for forcep childbirth and other neck traumas. I have little range of motion with my neck. Does my neurologist have to take all these traumas into consideration in treating this stenosis? Can a stenosis look like calcium or cholesterol when it is actually trauma based , or compressed by misalignment? Thank you for anyone’s input…
This is proteopathic bias. There's no way that a vibrational massage gun can cause arterial intimal damage. The artery is far to deep to physically impact. The neurologist attributing the dissection to a massage gun use from weeks before is anti scientific. The vertebral artery is the only type of dissection that is retrospectively attributed to "minor trauma". Intracranial dissections, coronary dissections, aorta dissections happen at the same rate as CAD and VAD yet neurologists don't attribute the causation of those dissections post hoc. It's human nature to find a "culprit" for when bad things happen.
Thanks so much for the comment doc! I don’t disagree and have often thought as humans we need something to blame. It’s the same after weird things happen to people after they get needled. They always blame the needles even if there is no possible causation. I did think some of your comments were interesting, so I made a quick video response. ruclips.net/video/X2xFdhPU-j8/видео.htmlsi=2r73r2YRUdPL4eHj

I want to thank you so very much for this story and I will definitely let other know to be careful with massage guns@@UnitedDryNeedlingEducation

Only CT and MRI with contrast agents can allow to see artery dissections.
@@lavintella contrast is not required to see artery dissection with MRI, unless you're using an MRI machine from the 1980s

Oh my! That’s terrible. I’m sorry you went through that. Did they pretty quickly figure out what happened or did your diagnosis take a while?
What areas of your neck did you message? What are your symptoms
I literally used a message gun on the back of my neck plus im also a hypochondriac and im scared of damaging a artery
Oh my gosh so scary! Thank you for the education & I just might toss mine now.
This happened to me too 😮
