you made a very good point to never go to a chiropractor that doesn't xray you first! its a shame there's so many out there that just want money and not actually helping people improve
I have dealt with the exact same stuff, my back will go out 1-2 times a year. I’m 6’6 and a former fat guy. Getting weight in check will do you the most help to relieve stress on your back. Other than that, I can’t believe that no one has put you on a stretching and strengthening program. I would place money on a bet that your back isn’t properly supported by your muscles, and that it’s under stress because of your weight and lack of flexibility. Chiropractors and massage therapists will only provide temporary relief, it’s your musculature that is pulling your stuff out of alignment. Best wishes bro, I wouldn’t wish these issues on anyone.
I love how you shared this with us! I have two herniated discs in my lower back that cause me to struggle day to day, and hearing someone you look up to talk about how they're going through their own struggles similar to yours is so inspiring. Keep up the work man, I love your videos they really push me to grow as a human!
Holy shhh*t thank you Thomas!!! You have the best way of articulating back pain! I started watching this video and immediately began taking so many notes so I can start advocating to doctors about my chronic pain, since 2019 as well 😂❤❤❤❤ I think the hardest part can be articulating pain to doctors while they assume its “just the weed” or “it’s probably your weight” 🙄 I appreciate your content more than words can express!
1:23 I stopped specifically at this part of the video to tell a story in the comments so one day particular about four months back I ended up going to the vape shop to pick up a derivative that day and I wanted to try a new derivative of choice and the one I ended up going with was THCP and I didn’t do my research on the de derivative and supposedly it binds with your receptors 30 times more and I ended up buying a .5 g disposable THCp cart and long story short. I thought I was someone who could handle their shit and it bit me in the ass and I took two blinkers off of it and about 10 minutes later I leaned up on my bed, and I felt the exact same thing as you were just explained, but what it felt like to me was someone was taking a needle and stabbing a hot needle into the middle part of my neck, my head and my body and I felt it on my tailbone but a little above my waist on my spine and it felt like someone was pressuring that area and I don’t know if I messed up my back from it. I don’t feel a difference as of today but a little after all that was happening I ended up putting myself into a panic attack, and I couldn’t think coherently. I couldn’t think of words to say in a sentence, I could not decipher my left from my right, and it felt like my eyes were just mirrored it really messed with me to the point where I was trying to talk to my sister at 1 o’clock in the morning which this was happening at that time and I was trying to explain to her about everything while trying to string a conversation together as my back was hurting during all of that I ended up going back back to my room, laying down and woke up with everything being all right, which I hope that everything was just from a panic attack in my back did not just give out but who knows also note to That, while all that was going on, it felt like my spine could not move like it felt like I was going through minor paralysis, but I could move my hands, my arms, my neck a little bit, but it felt like a stiff neck and a stiff back and it really messed with me so my take away from the do not try derivatives from your local vape shop because you do not know what milligrams they could potentially hold or you might not be experienced in the derivative field so please do take things with precaution and have a dope ass day. Also love you Yola continue making banger and bangers and bangers after and after and after.
Nothing made me more angry than when my aunt told me, “Oh. You’ve complained about back pain since you were 7!” While I’m trying to find the courage to even go to a damn doctor for this. I couldn’t believe it was something I complained about for so long. I just got so “used” to it. That being said, got no answer. No clue what’s going on. Going for a pelvis exam to check out my hips, makes sense i guess. Glad to hear your story, not often big RUclipsrs have a…”passive” physical disorder.
Thank you for sharing this and bringing awareness to people living with chronic back pain. I live with chronic back pain myself, having a pinched nerve in the lower right side of my back and having two protruding discs in my low back as well causing so much pain down my right leg and into my foot. I love the decompression approach! I always feel so much better when i can get my spine to decompress! Glad to know that your back is getting better Thomas! 🙌🏼
Dude im dealing with some similar nerve back and hip pain. I cant tell you how well i understand bro. This shit makes everything else in life feel on pause. I hope your back gets better Thomas, youre a dope dude and dpnt deserve that.
Hey Thomas thank you for sharing this one on one vulnerable moment, I hear you and I know you will get better, it sucks knowing you want to do all of these things but your body feels limited. I have dislocated my left shoulder three times and my right one twice and ended up tearing both labrum’s and getting surgery. Also got surgery for both my knees because I tore my meniscus on my left knee and tore my ACL on my right knee, all from different occasions. Now I say that because I’ve been through all of those surgeries so even the thought of back pains and back surgery frightens me. but honestly if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. I know you have the strength to get thru it because thankfully I have recovered and am starting to go back to the things I love, I know you will to soon. Sending a fast recovery! -Rafael (That one kid you hooked up with a duffel bag @hashhole day🔥) ^^^THANK YOU AGAIN THAT SHIT WAS TIGHT AND MADE MY NIGHT FRFR
You've got this Yola. Losing weight won't completely help but it will definitely help with pain and mobility. I used to have chronic knee pain and lower back pain as well that would make me not want to get up or walk too. Now that I lost 58 pounds, the pain is wayyy less and infrequent. You've been through it and have accomplished a lot, I know you can get over this too or at least get to a state of comfortability. Much love and respect to the man himself 💪
I’ve been dealing with the same things, your life story literally sounds so similar. My entire life Ive been in construction, driving and delivering huge gas station orders, warehouse work, my back has been in terrible pain ever since my teen years and now I’m almost 30 I’ve been in excruciating pain the last 2-3 years and had all sorts of scans and bloodwork. My upper back I have 2 discs that are slipping and now for the last few months my neck is fucked beyond measure. Can’t tilt my head from side to side or anything. Terrible “bone” and muscle pain everywhere in my back and neck. At this point I just live with the pain day to day and hope I can keep going. Hard taking care of 2 young kids but fortunate enough I can stay at home with my 2 kids.
It was nice to hear someone else with the same stuff as me im currently 20 and have spent over 3 years already with the exact same pains that you are talking about. I've been to chiropractors, physical therapy, many doctors after two mris and multiple cat scans the best they have figured out was my disks were draining fluid. i still felt like there was more and after seeing your mri i have the same dark spot over my spine and they never even mentioned that. So thank you for this video because i will now be looking for new doctors.
Very cool that you talked about this for all of us to hear. When I was 19 I had a car accident followed by me constantly working and ended up with 3 herniated disks which exploded unfortunately causing cauda equina syndrome which gave me some permanent nerve damage that left me not feeling my legs and giving me dropfoot on my left side. Being almost 22 now living with this has been very very difficult to say the least and I’ve dealt with some of those same kinds of pain and tried almost everything for pain. Truly hope you can recover without any permanence!!!
Thomas thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been a fan for a few years, I’m 21 and have had chronic back pain for two years recently it has much worse. Some days I can’t move anything without intense pain. I don’t know what I did to cause this doctors can’t figure it out either. Only thing that helps my pain is smoking
Hey man, I have chronic insomnia. Over a week now, no sleep. I didnt know this was possible. Im losing it man. Im losing it. I dont know what to do. My body is breaking down. I feel you bro, i dont wish chronic anything on anyone.
Bro, I’ve been following you for years and years and never knew I’d relate to you so freaking much on such a level. I was 15 when my incident happened. I was working out (incorrectly, due to bullying at school. I was literally crying while working out because I was fed up. Like the fat shaming at my school was so bad to the point where I got physically attacked, and nah, not even by other women. A group of “men”. Boys. I was “okay” though. I took the F off wasn’t even gonna try to fight them I was already having a bad day before that and was late to class) and then I just SCREAMED and collapsed in pain. Thought it was my leg, was even treated for my leg. Got crutches, etc. For years I was misdiagnosed and then found out yeah my hamstring was pulled but the pain was stemming from the fact that I had (and still have) two herniated discs. Btw I’m gonna be 31 this year. I get the breathing thing and being in pain, doc even prescribed me roids to cope, we try every freaking method to get this pain under control (oh and the two herniated discs in my lower back? I also have arthritis in that same area and some other shit I forgot the name of). It’s by no means a cure and with how much I buy it’s hard to afford but TDS products have helped me TREMENDOUSLY. We’ve got this, Thomas. I’m starting my weight loss journey frfr this year (I also have a medical condition that keeps me from losing weight) and I’m still watching this while typing- herniated bulging discs, that’s what I have and I feel like it’s getting worse. Typing this and my foot is numb as I speak from this shit. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without your products to keep me sane in the meantime. Wishing you health this year and beyond. Shit ain’t easy but we’ll find a way my guy. We’ve got to, somehow. So dope also to see how many others in these comments have the same or similar issues. And I haven’t gotten a neck one yet cause uggghhhh I know I need to, since my neck pain is bad too like that. Btw, I know this is random but I’d love to make Rosie some nails, I make custom press ons (unlike you’ve seen before, I use a lot of 3-D nail clay and molding) and would be cool to make her a TDS inspired set, or something truly unique. Much love. ❤
Oh no! You have gone through the worst of it. I always just dealt with it. I didn’t get in an accident or anything so I figured I needed to toughen up. But it’s time to figure it out fully and I truly am excited
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas I have but it’s made me even stronger, which is crazy to say as it literally caused this decade + long injury but I get what you mean. I’m rooting for you and I’m gonna check out that decompression stuff you mentioned. Always wanted to try that and at this point I’m ready to try almost anything.
I have the same thing in my neck and I'm 20. I can pop my spine in and out and side to side. But I've always said that before I get anything materialistic I'm gonna fix any and all health issue of me and my family.
Hey bro I feel you I got five herniated discs in my back and I’m 20 plus I have scheuermann's kyphosis shit really sucks the pain is insane and sometimes doing tasks gets so damn painful. My left shoulder gets numbs and a part of my left thumb is numb and the cold kills me now I hope find a way for you get better and pharmaceuticals have been rough on me I’ve been dealing with addiction because of that but without them now the pain is so unbearable. Waking up in the morning and breathing sucks it always hurts my spine when I sit in a chair too long with my arms forward on a desk it kills my neck and the disks are getting destroyed while pushing on nerves hope you get better sorry for run on sentences and shit very high and tired wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone
This is relatable. My gf has some back problems. She did more intense cheerleading. She can still throw me around but yeah it can just trigger her back so i dont provoke. Its not as bad as your condition. But it does make me wonder how do you go about treating something as delicate as your back muscles and spine? I’ve always heard your fucked once it goes but like i know shit exists. There are exercises but you got to target specific shit. Back science seems like rocket science or some witchcraft but like thoughts and prayers. You’ll stumble upon the truth mane keep lookin.
Yo bro, as a homie with severe scoliosis at 6'4" and like 250 lbs, i totally get the debilitating back pain that prevents weight loss. Have you ever tried swimming? Aside from just straight up eating less and dieting obviously, light swimming might be a decent way for you to get some cardio in without crushing your disks by jogging on concrete (personally haven't been able to run long distances for over a decade). Cheers bro hope you can get a decent road map figured out! edit: i gotta learn to finish vids before commenting lmfao glad to hear you're doing better homie!
This is why I tell people at work to stop going so hard and lifting stupid amounts for no reason. It WILL mess your back up at a young age and if you aren't careful, it will never be the same again.
EDIT: After watching the video I see you have injury. Tight hamstrings are still my prime source of back & neck pain. I can only speak for me. I have the worst back & neck pain. The only time it goes away is when I am laying completely flat. I found a solution for me. Feet shoulder width apart, back completely straight & legs straight. Then just lean foward ( touch the ground )... It hurts my lower back and the back of my knees. Obviously I wasn't able to touch the ground at first but after about a month of doing this 1-5 times a day, even if you only hold the pain for 5 seconds.. Now I can sit up straight for longer periods of time, I can somewhat sleep with a pillow under my neck. Everytime I start to feel the pain/tension in my back/legs I try to touch my toes for 5-30 seconds. On god it has helped my back & neck pain. My pain is cut in half now.
Love the content on all the channels but it's really refreshing just hearing you talk about stuff in an informative way and you can tell you're interested in it as its obviously your health but I'd really love seeing some content on here where you just talk about stuff you like in depth maybe like reviews of movies, music or really whatever you're into its just good to see the uploads bro
Feel better brodie! Why your one ofthe best content creators out there literally pushing through being broken af and still making content and letting everyone know whats up
I been watching since the insta days and I can safely say you’ve helped me out a lot I now own a dispensary I have my own house I can say I grew up as your channel has grown and I’m happy to see where we going hopefully your back pain is gone soon and less than 100 views❤️
I’m sorry you’re going through this, I had sciatica in my lower back last year, the pain was almost unbearable, I hope with all the work you’re doing that you start to feel some sort of relief🤞🏻
I feel this. I messed up my back waitressing back in the day and have problems with my back now. Glad to hear you’re on the road to recovery and hope you feel better asap
I understand your pain in a way man. I've been coping with Costochondritis for the last 6 months and it hurts to just take a deep breath. Good to hear you're getting help with your back though man you're lookin good, keep up the great work.
No worries man, I've had take a few more breaks than I like lately but I've been trying to keep up my life style. Worst part is I cant ride my skateboard without my chest gettin tight rn but well get back on eventually.
Thomas, im a 30 yr old army vet. i was forced to retired never to work again in my life at 26 i had a tank crash where my driver hit a huge boulder that was hidden in tall grass. my whole spine has whiplash dmg and classified as disabled technically from vet affairs life sucks living in pain everyday but medical cannabis saved my life and gave me back quality of life. I highly suggest you look at CPI in Tijuana mexico and get stem cells before you get any surgery. DONT GET ANY FUSION your life will not be worth living you will be like a robot
Thanks for sharing brother and up the hard work. Back pain is a beast to live with and please think about those degenerative disk options because you don't want to wait too long before they can't do anything for you. Back surgery today isn't as hard to recover from as it used to be, yet it's still spinal (neurological)surgery and the older we get, the longer it takes to heal. Just keep that in mind. Stay safe and continue to make smart choices. 💪🏾😎
I’ve been living and trying to manage my spinal stenosis (with sciatica) for a while now, and hearing your story really helped me not feel alone. Much love from Cleveland 💖
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas My doctor has me on a regiment of physical therapy to strengthen more core muscles and spinal injections to reduce the inflammation! The idea is that as I build muscle, it will help to hold my discs in place!
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas I wrote a reply but I think RUclips sent it to the shadow realm lol. My doctor has me on a regiment of injections to bring down the inflammation and physical therapy to strengthen my core! This will help to keep all the discs in place, with a little patience :)
Dude I’ve had so many surgeries on my neck and my ass just turned 21 I went to the doctor today cuz I’m on spring break the doctor deadass looked at my file and was really said “wow you’ve been through hell” Thomas you have no idea how much I needed to see this video it’s good to know I’m not the only foo out here with the spine of a 100 year old
What’s crazy is somebody rear ended me today and aggravated old injuries to my back from old car accidents. This is wild. I’m in pain and “eating candy” like crazy
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas yea bro i’ve been seeing a doctor about it for like 2 years now and there’s been no improvement, they caught it right as my bone structure was almost done forming so i unfortunately just have to live with it and eventually i’ll need surgery to fuse my spine decades down the line
Dealing with some similar shit, don't have any answers yet; it can take decades for some people, our medical system is so fucked, it's always great to hear when someone gets some answers and especially a solution cuz that's not guaranteed either.
Hey Thomas, i'm gonna share with you what helped me. I used to have chronic back pain as well, hernia, lumbago... everything went away when I quite sugar/carbs, more water and a lot of sports gym but mostly walking. I was obese and lost 90 pounds in about a year. I don't have any back pain at all now. And it's just my opinion but beeing vegan or vegetarian (don't remember) it will not get you less inflammed. Good luck and thanks for the video
You are genuinely such a good fucking person man and the way you carry yourself is so inspiring to me and it really motivates me. I hope one day i can achieve as much as you have, you make me believe its possible.
Sup Thomas, I’ve had back issues since I was 16 years old. I remember I was at the state track meet throwing discus. I bent over to put a shirt in my bag and I just fell over. I’m a big guy, 6’4, well over 200 pounds. I had to have my giant 6’6 270 pound throws coach try to pop my back. Even he couldn’t quite get it to pop. About a year later I hurt my back real bad deadlifting. I went from being a 600 pound deadlifter to not being able to go over 135. I went in and my L3, L4, and L5 were bulged. He told me he could tell my L4 had been bulged for years because I had arthritis in that area. So I turn 19 a week from today and I’ve already had arthritis in my back for at least a year.
100 push ups a day for a year will change your life. Split them into 20 x5 a day. You’ll never regret it. Saying it as a friend. I know why it’s done for me. 💪 🔥 🍁
I love how you don’t keep this some big secret lol like when most ya know “celebs” don’t share medical issues it confuses me like it’s about You We (the fans) want to know!
😭that's so real ngl. My dad got shot in the eye by a bb gun but he was broke af at the time so they got it out themselves bc it didn't go deep or anything lmao
Who ever reads this I recommend Steward McGill. He's a spine specialist he's been doing it for 30+ years. I read his book and it saved my back. I do the McGill big 3. Spine instability causes a lot of issues, work on your core.
i’m also someone who’s been dealing with chronic back pain since i was 16. i’ve figured out that when my back acts up like that using Voltren arthritis cream from walmart or literally any other pharmacy and it really does help your muscles relax for a bit. i used to load trucks and i would bathe in that shit before going in. if you haven’t tried it i highly recommend it it’s done wonders for me. edit: i just realized that my back injury in 2018 is what got me smoking week regularly, and then i found your channel. Hard Candy Confessions #1. i also remember i thought you were like 20 and just barely older than me. 🤣
Man i hope you know i understand completely and my life is impacyed just as much. It hit home qhen you talked about how breathing hits your spine so uou never feel relief... I fight every day to regain some control and comfort. I use BPC-157 its a natural gastric juice that aignals tendon repair. Shit really helped me.
ur not alone bro, i got scoliosis surgery 15 years ago, and last year had to get surgery again to remove half the hardware cuz the doctors said it was rubbing on my muscles causing the chronic pain. now dude... they said one of the stitches (from last years surgery) popped somewhere in the muscle, after I stretched my arm/shoulder blade, which is causing me extreme pain right now, and I need to wait 6 weeks.. i told them I don't mind paying for an MRI, I was getting worried it was something worst, I am not sure why they don't want to do MRI, even if I can pay in advance.. I want to make sure I didn't tear a muscle, or something real bad happen. plus I never had an MRI done on me since 2008, the year I did my ORIGINAL surgery, and that was before the surgery for obvious reasons, they didn't want to paralize me when they screwed bolts throughout my spine. never had a second done, even when they removed hardware directly on my spine last year. anyways, typing this with extreme pain in my left shoulder blade. feels so weird, tingly, achey, tearing, sharp, all of those combined, along with like a weird crampish feeling of numbness. I wonder about my bone marrow as well, as they took some of mine out from he original surgery to fuse my spine. I wish I could do a decompress machine, or did a chiropractor before i did my surgery, just to try those things, but now my spine is fused with a rod attached to it. Hope all goes well with you
Love the content yola and hope you feel better, try to eat more fruits and drink water and instead of running try to walk and sweat and you'll defentily be seeing changes.

100000% will help I feel you
I’ve been dealing with the same things, your life story literally sounds so similar. My entire life Ive been in construction, driving and delivering huge gas station orders, warehouse work, my back has been in terrible pain ever since my teen years and now I’m almost 30 I’ve been in excruciating pain the last 2-3 years and had all sorts of scans and bloodwork. My upper back I have 2 discs that are slipping and now for the last few months my neck is fucked beyond measure. Can’t tilt my head from side to side or anything. Terrible “bone” and muscle pain everywhere in my back and neck. At this point I just live with the pain day to day and hope I can keep going. Hard taking care of 2 young kids but fortunate enough I can stay at home with my 2 kids.
You have to 1000% go to a specialist. It only gets worse
It was nice to hear someone else with the same stuff as me im currently 20 and have spent over 3 years already with the exact same pains that you are talking about. I've been to chiropractors, physical therapy, many doctors after two mris and multiple cat scans the best they have figured out was my disks were draining fluid. i still felt like there was more and after seeing your mri i have the same dark spot over my spine and they never even mentioned that. So thank you for this video because i will now be looking for new doctors.
It’s the worst but it gets better I promise
You’re awesome dude, wishing you well always 🤙🏽❤️
Very cool that you talked about this for all of us to hear. When I was 19 I had a car accident followed by me constantly working and ended up with 3 herniated disks which exploded unfortunately causing cauda equina syndrome which gave me some permanent nerve damage that left me not feeling my legs and giving me dropfoot on my left side. Being almost 22 now living with this has been very very difficult to say the least and I’ve dealt with some of those same kinds of pain and tried almost everything for pain. Truly hope you can recover without any permanence!!!
Ah you got a horrible hand on that one I’m so sorry
Thomas thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been a fan for a few years, I’m 21 and have had chronic back pain for two years recently it has much worse. Some days I can’t move anything without intense pain. I don’t know what I did to cause this doctors can’t figure it out either. Only thing that helps my pain is smoking
I need to get a full mri of my back man nobody has done that for me yet
Hey man, I have chronic insomnia. Over a week now, no sleep. I didnt know this was possible. Im losing it man. Im losing it. I dont know what to do. My body is breaking down. I feel you bro, i dont wish chronic anything on anyone.
Oooooooo I’m so sorry. I noticed tv. Radio and phone keep me up. Working out then dark room helps soooo damn much
Bro, I’ve been following you for years and years and never knew I’d relate to you so freaking much on such a level.
I was 15 when my incident happened. I was working out (incorrectly, due to bullying at school. I was literally crying while working out because I was fed up. Like the fat shaming at my school was so bad to the point where I got physically attacked, and nah, not even by other women. A group of “men”. Boys. I was “okay” though. I took the F off wasn’t even gonna try to fight them I was already having a bad day before that and was late to class) and then I just SCREAMED and collapsed in pain.
Thought it was my leg, was even treated for my leg. Got crutches, etc. For years I was misdiagnosed and then found out yeah my hamstring was pulled but the pain was stemming from the fact that I had (and still have) two herniated discs. Btw I’m gonna be 31 this year.
I get the breathing thing and being in pain, doc even prescribed me roids to cope, we try every freaking method to get this pain under control (oh and the two herniated discs in my lower back? I also have arthritis in that same area and some other shit I forgot the name of). It’s by no means a cure and with how much I buy it’s hard to afford but TDS products have helped me TREMENDOUSLY.
We’ve got this, Thomas. I’m starting my weight loss journey frfr this year (I also have a medical condition that keeps me from losing weight) and I’m still watching this while typing- herniated bulging discs, that’s what I have and I feel like it’s getting worse. Typing this and my foot is numb as I speak from this shit. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without your products to keep me sane in the meantime.
Wishing you health this year and beyond. Shit ain’t easy but we’ll find a way my guy. We’ve got to, somehow. So dope also to see how many others in these comments have the same or similar issues. And I haven’t gotten a neck one yet cause uggghhhh I know I need to, since my neck pain is bad too like that.
Btw, I know this is random but I’d love to make Rosie some nails, I make custom press ons (unlike you’ve seen before, I use a lot of 3-D nail clay and molding) and would be cool to make her a TDS inspired set, or something truly unique.
Much love. ❤
Oh no! You have gone through the worst of it. I always just dealt with it. I didn’t get in an accident or anything so I figured I needed to toughen up. But it’s time to figure it out fully and I truly am excited
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas I have but it’s made me even stronger, which is crazy to say as it literally caused this decade + long injury but I get what you mean. I’m rooting for you and I’m gonna check out that decompression stuff you mentioned. Always wanted to try that and at this point I’m ready to try almost anything.
backflip coming
Soon
much love yola! i been overweight my whole life as well and causes similar problems real ones know how hard it hurts sometimes. stay strong mane
did anyone else get a ring in their ear when the blade slice sound effect went off?
I have the same thing in my neck and I'm 20. I can pop my spine in and out and side to side. But I've always said that before I get anything materialistic I'm gonna fix any and all health issue of me and my family.
Ah! Can’t believe this happened 😫 We appreciate the love and you know we’re here for you! 🙌🏼
Yo thank you guys so much truly
This feels like a more personal video, like homie to homie vibe. I love it
I appreciate that!
Hey bro I feel you I got five herniated discs in my back and I’m 20 plus I have scheuermann's kyphosis shit really sucks the pain is insane and sometimes doing tasks gets so damn painful. My left shoulder gets numbs and a part of my left thumb is numb and the cold kills me now I hope find a way for you get better and pharmaceuticals have been rough on me I’ve been dealing with addiction because of that but without them now the pain is so unbearable. Waking up in the morning and breathing sucks it always hurts my spine when I sit in a chair too long with my arms forward on a desk it kills my neck and the disks are getting destroyed while pushing on nerves hope you get better sorry for run on sentences and shit very high and tired wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone
I’m so sorry. I can’t understand why it hurts like that. It’s unreal
This is relatable. My gf has some back problems. She did more intense cheerleading. She can still throw me around but yeah it can just trigger her back so i dont provoke. Its not as bad as your condition. But it does make me wonder how do you go about treating something as delicate as your back muscles and spine? I’ve always heard your fucked once it goes but like i know shit exists. There are exercises but you got to target specific shit. Back science seems like rocket science or some witchcraft but like thoughts and prayers. You’ll stumble upon the truth mane keep lookin.
Hey bro, Push Trees.
Thomas: I can’t, I threw my back out.
Yo bro, as a homie with severe scoliosis at 6'4" and like 250 lbs, i totally get the debilitating back pain that prevents weight loss. Have you ever tried swimming? Aside from just straight up eating less and dieting obviously, light swimming might be a decent way for you to get some cardio in without crushing your disks by jogging on concrete (personally haven't been able to run long distances for over a decade). Cheers bro hope you can get a decent road map figured out!
edit: i gotta learn to finish vids before commenting lmfao glad to hear you're doing better homie!
I don’t have a pool. I got a sauna n got a treadmill instead
This is why I tell people at work to stop going so hard and lifting stupid amounts for no reason. It WILL mess your back up at a young age and if you aren't careful, it will never be the same again.
Please be careful
200 people watching live and only 59 likes that crazy!! Support this man right now!
🙏🏽
One day we will be working together🤟 putting it into fruition
Let’s gooo
EDIT: After watching the video I see you have injury. Tight hamstrings are still my prime source of back & neck pain.
I can only speak for me. I have the worst back & neck pain. The only time it goes away is when I am laying completely flat. I found a solution for me. Feet shoulder width apart, back completely straight & legs straight. Then just lean foward ( touch the ground )... It hurts my lower back and the back of my knees. Obviously I wasn't able to touch the ground at first but after about a month of doing this 1-5 times a day, even if you only hold the pain for 5 seconds.. Now I can sit up straight for longer periods of time, I can somewhat sleep with a pillow under my neck. Everytime I start to feel the pain/tension in my back/legs I try to touch my toes for 5-30 seconds. On god it has helped my back & neck pain. My pain is cut in half now.
Stretching is key dude
Love the content on all the channels but it's really refreshing just hearing you talk about stuff in an informative way and you can tell you're interested in it as its obviously your health but I'd really love seeing some content on here where you just talk about stuff you like in depth maybe like reviews of movies, music or really whatever you're into its just good to see the uploads bro
Thank you. This. Channel is for evertything in life except smoking
Take it easy man glad to see how far the back has came even though it still has work to do. Hella proud of you man
I really appreciate you
Feel better brodie! Why your one ofthe best content creators out there literally pushing through being broken af and still making content and letting everyone know whats up
Always man. I’ll never stop
im really happy to here this man! Keep being strong man, and thanks for those fire videos!
Yo thank you
As a pre-med student, I've really enjoyed learning about your back problems, Thomas. Really happy for you that it's getting better. Day by day, homie!
I’m glad I’m you liked ut
Glad to hear you guys found the problem and best of luck to you with the recovery process 🙏 ❤
Dude thank you. !!!!
I been watching since the insta days and I can safely say you’ve helped me out a lot I now own a dispensary I have my own house I can say I grew up as your channel has grown and I’m happy to see where we going hopefully your back pain is gone soon and less than 100 views❤️
Yoooo dude thank you!!!
Congrats to you also on that. So epic on your business
I’m sorry you’re going through this, I had sciatica in my lower back last year, the pain was almost unbearable, I hope with all the work you’re doing that you start to feel some sort of relief🤞🏻
Oh I hate that pain so much. It’s annoying
Had my first spinal surgery when I was 16 and my second when I was 21. I’m still dealing with chronic pain. But the herb helps.
Man I just wanna say you look so healthy man! Keep up the good work dude for real.
Yooooo thank you
I feel this. I messed up my back waitressing back in the day and have problems with my back now. Glad to hear you’re on the road to recovery and hope you feel better asap
Posture is huge also 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for the kind words
I understand your pain in a way man. I've been coping with Costochondritis for the last 6 months and it hurts to just take a deep breath. Good to hear you're getting help with your back though man you're lookin good, keep up the great work.
Oh no !! I’m so damn sorry
No worries man, I've had take a few more breaks than I like lately but I've been trying to keep up my life style. Worst part is I cant ride my skateboard without my chest gettin tight rn but well get back on eventually.
Thomas, im a 30 yr old army vet. i was forced to retired never to work again in my life at 26 i had a tank crash where my driver hit a huge boulder that was hidden in tall grass. my whole spine has whiplash dmg and classified as disabled technically from vet affairs life sucks living in pain everyday but medical cannabis saved my life and gave me back quality of life.
I highly suggest you look at CPI in Tijuana mexico and get stem cells before you get any surgery. DONT GET ANY FUSION your life will not be worth living you will be like a robot
I had a few friends tell me about that. I’ll look more into it
i didnt know yola had this channel i feel so dumb rn but hopfully everything hets better
It’s all good dude
Thanks for sharing brother and up the hard work.
Back pain is a beast to live with and please think about those degenerative disk options because you don't want to wait too long before they can't do anything for you.
Back surgery today isn't as hard to recover from as it used to be, yet it's still spinal (neurological)surgery and the older we get, the longer it takes to heal.
Just keep that in mind.
Stay safe and continue to make smart choices. 💪🏾😎
I wanna stay away from it if possible you know. I’m nervous to do that
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas
I do understand and keep your options open
Im very proud of you Keep on doing what you’re doing
Thanks so much
I’ve been living and trying to manage my spinal stenosis (with sciatica) for a while now, and hearing your story really helped me not feel alone. Much love from Cleveland 💖
Please lemme know what you did to fix it 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas My doctor has me on a regiment of physical therapy to strengthen more core muscles and spinal injections to reduce the inflammation! The idea is that as I build muscle, it will help to hold my discs in place!
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas I wrote a reply but I think RUclips sent it to the shadow realm lol.
My doctor has me on a regiment of injections to bring down the inflammation and physical therapy to strengthen my core! This will help to keep all the discs in place, with a little patience :)
I’m sorry about your back pain bro. I hope your back gets better!
I appreciate you
That’s insane good luck dawg stay up
Im praying for you Tommy 🙏🙏
Appreciate you
Hope you keep healing man the weed world need you
😊🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Dude I’ve had so many surgeries on my neck and my ass just turned 21 I went to the doctor today cuz I’m on spring break the doctor deadass looked at my file and was really said “wow you’ve been through hell” Thomas you have no idea how much I needed to see this video it’s good to know I’m not the only foo out here with the spine of a 100 year old
What’s crazy is somebody rear ended me today and aggravated old injuries to my back from old car accidents. This is wild. I’m in pain and “eating candy” like crazy
Noooooooo I’m sorry
Very thankful for all the content and smiles you brought us while going through this. From merced broski 💯
Yooooooo 209 🙏🏽
i can relate, i have scoliosis and 2 of the disks in my back are fucked, back pain is super shitty i’m glad your back has improved fr man it sucks
Dude no way!? I’m so sorry
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas yea bro i’ve been seeing a doctor about it for like 2 years now and there’s been no improvement, they caught it right as my bone structure was almost done forming so i unfortunately just have to live with it and eventually i’ll need surgery to fuse my spine decades down the line
much support brother, seriously tho hope you doing good
Dude thank you so much
………everybody in the club getting tipsy.
Dealing with some similar shit, don't have any answers yet; it can take decades for some people, our medical system is so fucked, it's always great to hear when someone gets some answers and especially a solution cuz that's not guaranteed either.
I’m tryna spread the info. I know how much it can hurt
Dope transition with the old tv fuck yeh
Hey Thomas, i'm gonna share with you what helped me. I used to have chronic back pain as well, hernia, lumbago... everything went away when I quite sugar/carbs, more water and a lot of sports gym but mostly walking. I was obese and lost 90 pounds in about a year. I don't have any back pain at all now. And it's just my opinion but beeing vegan or vegetarian (don't remember) it will not get you less inflammed. Good luck and thanks for the video
Thank you so much for the advice
my mom is gonna love this video 😂 she’s been waiting for this one ever since i told her about the fractured disc and herniated discs
Ah man. Thanks for watching with her
Hey i feel you man i need a new back too 😂 me and my lady say it all the time!
glad to hear there’s hope of you feeling better. hang in there
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I just hope your back gets all better bro
Thank you
you kinda look like dope as yola🧐🧐🧐 all jokes aside i do hope you heal very well i pray for you and i hope your back gets better🙏🏽
You are genuinely such a good fucking person man and the way you carry yourself is so inspiring to me and it really motivates me. I hope one day i can achieve as much as you have, you make me believe its possible.
Dude thank you for the kind words
Sup Thomas, I’ve had back issues since I was 16 years old. I remember I was at the state track meet throwing discus. I bent over to put a shirt in my bag and I just fell over. I’m a big guy, 6’4, well over 200 pounds. I had to have my giant 6’6 270 pound throws coach try to pop my back. Even he couldn’t quite get it to pop. About a year later I hurt my back real bad deadlifting. I went from being a 600 pound deadlifter to not being able to go over 135. I went in and my L3, L4, and L5 were bulged. He told me he could tell my L4 had been bulged for years because I had arthritis in that area. So I turn 19 a week from today and I’ve already had arthritis in my back for at least a year.
Overthinking my posture after watching this 😂
Made sure to have good posture this whole story (i slouched)
👍🏽
Aye man I’m dealing with some bad nerve pain ass well it’s mostly in my arms but the paid is so bad I feel u stay strong Thomas
Nerve pain suuuuucks
100 push ups a day for a year will change your life. Split them into 20 x5 a day. You’ll never regret it. Saying it as a friend. I know why it’s done for me. 💪 🔥 🍁
I love that 🙏🏽
As a person with scoliosis I totally understand 😕
Ah dammit
As a delivery driver man, I really appreciate this Don’t be afraid to break out that dolly.😂😂😂
Dam I don’t know how you could live that long with that constant pain
It’s not fun. Why I smoke so much
gosh dang thomas that is awful, as if you just pumping out content for us 😢glad you are getting treated and able to workout a bit. be careful yo
Content takes my mind off it honestly
It’s all about your diet at the end of the day broski
It’s truly not dude.
I love how you don’t keep this some big secret lol like when most ya know “celebs” don’t share medical issues it confuses me like it’s about You We (the fans) want to know!
Exactly. I don’t get that either
Thank you for sharing this! 9:45 🔥🙌🏽
🙏🏽
Came straight from the ig story🫡
Appreciate you 😊
like the one on one videos every now and then. big ups though yola i hope the best for ya brother
Yooo thank you
""were broke; I cant go to the doctors. Who cares *shrug*." literally my enitre mentality growing up
Exactly
😭that's so real ngl. My dad got shot in the eye by a bb gun but he was broke af at the time so they got it out themselves bc it didn't go deep or anything lmao
Who ever reads this I recommend Steward McGill. He's a spine specialist he's been doing it for 30+ years. I read his book and it saved my back. I do the McGill big 3. Spine instability causes a lot of issues, work on your core.
i’m also someone who’s been dealing with chronic back pain since i was 16. i’ve figured out that when my back acts up like that using Voltren arthritis cream from walmart or literally any other pharmacy and it really does help your muscles relax for a bit. i used to load trucks and i would bathe in that shit before going in. if you haven’t tried it i highly recommend it it’s done wonders for me.
edit: i just realized that my back injury in 2018 is what got me smoking week regularly, and then i found your channel. Hard Candy Confessions #1. i also remember i thought you were like 20 and just barely older than me. 🤣
Man i hope you know i understand completely and my life is impacyed just as much. It hit home qhen you talked about how breathing hits your spine so uou never feel relief... I fight every day to regain some control and comfort. I use BPC-157 its a natural gastric juice that aignals tendon repair. Shit really helped me.
I’m so sorry dude! Itschh the e worst. Also thanks for the Advice. I’ll look into it
@@Adventures_Of_Thomas of course bro but it sounds like you're on the right track!
I'm glad u feeling better, buddy
Yooo thank you
i feel you man i’ve been dealing with sciatica for years now’s
It’s the worst
ur not alone bro, i got scoliosis surgery 15 years ago, and last year had to get surgery again to remove half the hardware cuz the doctors said it was rubbing on my muscles causing the chronic pain. now dude... they said one of the stitches (from last years surgery) popped somewhere in the muscle, after I stretched my arm/shoulder blade, which is causing me extreme pain right now, and I need to wait 6 weeks.. i told them I don't mind paying for an MRI, I was getting worried it was something worst, I am not sure why they don't want to do MRI, even if I can pay in advance.. I want to make sure I didn't tear a muscle, or something real bad happen. plus I never had an MRI done on me since 2008, the year I did my ORIGINAL surgery, and that was before the surgery for obvious reasons, they didn't want to paralize me when they screwed bolts throughout my spine. never had a second done, even when they removed hardware directly on my spine last year. anyways, typing this with extreme pain in my left shoulder blade. feels so weird, tingly, achey, tearing, sharp, all of those combined, along with like a weird crampish feeling of numbness. I wonder about my bone marrow as well, as they took some of mine out from he original surgery to fuse my spine. I wish I could do a decompress machine, or did a chiropractor before i did my surgery, just to try those things, but now my spine is fused with a rod attached to it. Hope all goes well with you
Much love Thomas, take any time you need to dedicate toward recovery and healing from this excruciating pain. Don't overwork yourself 😊🤙
🙏🏽. I’ve been taking it easy Forsure
Get well soon bro ❤
Love the content yola and hope you feel better, try to eat more fruits and drink water and instead of running try to walk and sweat and you'll defentily be seeing changes.
Yooooo thank you so much
Oh I was thinking. For the podcast… strain central or XCodeh ? Good OG weedtubers
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Hope you heal up champ, try going to a chiropractor it helped me out. 👌🏾 best of luck g
I appreciate you
