For shows, they must put a STOP system when that occur like: CUT all music, Turn ON all the light and PLAY a perticular sound that we must be all teached about.
It’s like an active shooter drill for concertgoers. I know concert fatalities have existed for a long time but with global entertainment access larger stadiums really are much more dangerous. You have a good idea there.
To be fair, this already does happen. I‘ve been to a lot of rock and metal concerts and as soon as the band notices someone falling down or something happening in the audience, they usually do immediately stop the music and use a spot light until everybody‘s up and ready again. If the musicians care about their audience, they do those measures you proposed already. And the past tense of teach is taught.
With the Travis Scott incident, people WERE calling 911 en masse, the paramedics literally could not get to people, and when they were able to the number of people in need of help was way more than they had the resources for.
I'm not surprised I couldn't find more comments about idi0t Travis Scott, he's a monster Fans defend him like he's a god. I don't get it and I hate him for every single person that he hurt or killed even though it wasn't literally his hands doing it I think my comment and yours are the only ones talking about this
@@Cupcake41275well not exactly. He’s partially to blame because he encouraged people to get in even without tickets but the amount of paramedics and security and everything else is the team behind the event’s job. He doesn’t really have anything to do with the organization of Astroworld. Like he owned it and headlined it but that was about it
@@byuftbl this is true, especially in progressive diseases without good treatment options. I have MS and was diagnosed in 2008... back then the prognosis was not very good for many living with it, but research & treatment options have vastly improved QOL for many. My MS is better controlled now than when I first fell ill around age 23, and my treatment put me into long term remission thankfully.
The Celine Dion one hit me hard. She was my mother's idol. I went to see her live a few times. Seeing that video broke my heart... my mother would have freaked out seeing this. I am thankful that I saw her live a few times, including the last time was in honor and memory of my mother... because I truly feel that unfortunately, her career is over.
If you haven't watched the documentary yet, I would. This scene is from it and the long version had me in tears. But much of it is quite funny and warm. Celine is not giving up on herself and we shouldn't either. Just a short while ago she couldn't even walk. She's making progress already. She may never tour again, but she wants to sing somehow and I believe she will.
What hits hard about Celine Dion is that my Mom would have seizures. Witnessing such severe pain and having little you can do about it is one of the worst feelings.
I know about a band, Black veil brides who in there early years the lead singer fell from stage hit the rails directly on his ribs and continued the gig, he also completed the tour with broken ribs.
Andy didn't fall from the stage. He tried to jump from one wall to another above a walk way. However, he had been sitting on his legs for a while, and so his legs were falling asleep, which prevented him from making the jump, and he smashed his ribs on the top of the wall that he was trying to land on. He has a RUclips channel called The Andy Show, and he talks about it.
This video is a good reminder that we cannot minimize other people's pain. We cannot know how much pain they are feeling so is important to be empathetic.
10:56 Michael also got what Adele had during his "'Bad" tour and was told by his dr not to sing or talk often after his final tour leg in 1989 This is why he wasn't seen talking often until his 1993 Oprah interview
The concept of patient's privacy has existed since the original Hippocratic Oath. HIPAA just made it legally punishable. But it was unethical even then.
That's messed up. I was 18 in 96. And my doctors growing up ALWAYS told us that all doctors ( like lawyers) followed confidentiality clauses. Maybe it was not legally enforced, but it definitely existed with quality physicians 😮
@@ghillies4lifeyeah, I just came here to say that I didn't even see your comment until after I posted but I remember growing up all my doctors told me that everything was confidential just like with the lawyer. That's just really horrible what an awful person that guy was..the doctor that is.
Poor Gaga also developed fibromyalgia following her hip injury, which caused the pain to spread throughout her body and become chronic. She self-medicated with recreational drugs for a few years in order to get through her concerts but she’s clean from them now. Her story is quite harrowing and I feel like people don’t give her enough credit for what she’s been through. She’s in debilitating pain constantly and still dances, sings, acts, you name it. She’s incredible!
I empathize with her. I have hEDS, Fibromyalgia, endometriosis, and osteoarthritis, and I know I will never, ever have a pain free day ever again in my life. But I still have a full time job, I work with dementia residents. It's an uphill battle, daily. Both physically, and mentally.
Oh God, I have fibromyalgia developed after an accident. When I see people who become pain med addicts with it, I always think how easily that could have been me. Especially at the beginning when people are telling you nothing is wrong and won't help. I was blessed to work in the medical field at the time. I worked for a doctor who actually cared, knew what it was, and got me officially diagnosed quickly. I knew what narcotics could do. The first place I went offered opioids (this was 20ish years ago). I said no, thank you. I know myself, and I know how easy it could go sideways. Took years to find a doctor that really helped me. All this to say, I know how awful being in pain can be
I have stiff person syndrome as well. It is not only painful but terrifying. You learn not to do things you enjoy out of fear of sending yourself into a spasm attack or seizure. I was diagnosed over 15 years ago and now because doctors don’t want to treat patients who require benzodiazepines I am without a specialist. I see a pain management Doctor but I’m only prescribed 1.5 mg of Clonazepam a day. People brag about taking more than that just for general anxiety. My life is at a standstill. I feel like I’ve missed my best years. It’s a progressive disease so I can only expect it will get worse. My pain can (and does) reach a 10/10 at times but I can’t go to the emergency room due to my contract with my pain management Doctor. I pray everyday that my pain management Doctor or PCP will magically refer me to a neurologist who is willing to treat me. Both the pain doctor and PCP have their hands tied as the can’t prescribe multiple benzodiazepines and I really need to take both Valium and Klonopin. If anyone reads this, please pray for me. ❤ 5:59
You have a contract that keeps you from going to the ER??? How is that legal?? That’s just a non-compete so all your money goes into this guy’s pocket, if you aren’t getting what you need, it’s benefiting him more than it’s benefitting you. I’m sure you’ve tried searching for alternatives. I guess all I can say is don’t give up on finding the relief you deserve, and keep advocating for yourself
@@lwilso9152 I think the purpose of the contract is to keep pill seekers from popping into the ER for extras. It basically says that I promise not to visit any doctor, including the ER , for additional pain medication. It could be to prevent accidental overdose as well (for those on opiates)
I'm curious why you are waiting for a referral, why don't you just make the appointment yourself? And if the neurologist requires a referral, they can get it from your doctor's office for you. Please be a good advocate for yourself, no one else can help you as much as you can! I hope things start getting better for you 😊
The youngest victim of Astroworld was NINE, but he technically did not die on the night of the concert. He died a few days later. But he never regained consciousness after being trampled by the crowd. Travis Scott offered his family free concert tickets. Always remember to hate Travis Scott.
I dunno, I've seen The Mask, and he ate an entire stick of dynamite, let it explode inside his stomach, and was perfectly fine! Who am I going to trust, a movie or some dOcToR? (Disclaimer to anyone reading: this was a joke. Hopefully obviously. If you needed this disclaimer, I worry about you.)
Billie Eilish in one video mentions a few things, Dr Mike immediately mentions EDS. Meanwhile my Drs for the last 35 year "nah you just can't handle pain well stop complaining".
I had a male doctor tell me I only *thought* I was in severe chronic pain. I had multiple hip tears that needed surgery but Ortho refuses because of the EDS so my hip pops out constantly. Plus other autoimmune disorders on top of that and daily migraines. I wanted to kick him in the nuts and tell him he only *thinks* he's in pain.
@@Birdnerd1968 he'd probably say that hurt worse than childbirth... I'm with you though! I had a hand and wrist surgeon tell me I can't have anything hypermobility related because I look my age (joke's on him I'm 35 and still ID'ed everywhere I go lol). He also had no explanation for my severe wrist pain but my suggestion of hypermobility was outrageous obviously.
I got so excited that he mentioned EDS😅 it’s so unfortunately rare for health care professionals to have even heard of it. Don’t give up looking for answers! The Ehlers danlos society website has a directory of knowledgeable providers. That directory is how I found the doctor that ended up diagnosing me.
@@nellafoots2251 I was diagnosed by accident in grad school when I fell down stairs. The school Dr who was setting my broken leg was pushing up on my foot and asking me to say when it hurt. I said nah it's not going to hurt because I'm very flexible. She did the Beighton test right there and said I needed to see a Dr who knew more because she only learned about it recently from a conference she went to but she thought I had EDS. So they had me see one of the med school teachers who did dermatology stuff once a month. He said "it's not like EDS affects anything else or is dangerous so it's not worth pursuing." The original Dr said no you need to go figure this out because it could be related to other medical issues I was having, plus she knew enough that dangerous versions like the vascular one existed. I moved shortly after and went to this massive hospital hooked up to a med school. The rheumatology dept said it's too rare and they only treat things like arthritis. Then they used me as a class lesson on what hEDS looks like, and had the nerve to charge me for an "extended" office visit. I said WTF you guys did nothing and then used me as a guinea pig without even asking and you want to charge me extra?! They also asked why I wasn't diagnosed earlier (I was 35). I said well you said it's rare, so how the heck was anyone supposed to know about what this was in the 80s? Plus both my parents have it so being flexible and in pain was normal in my family. So much so that my dad died of lung cancer that spread EVERYWHERE in his body and he said the pain was barely higher than his everyday joint pain so he just brushed it off as getting older. He died during a biopsy surgery so it's probably better he didn't suffer through treatment that wouldn't save him. I wish there was a way to make doctors actually experience the stuff their patients live through on a daily basis. Then maybe they wouldn't be so quick to brush us off.
You could do an entire list of rock and metal medical emergencies. From bands like LP and SlipKnoT stopping their sets due to a medical emergency, to various musicians “playing” while higher than the ISS…you can include Sid’s jump from the riser-only to break BOTH of his heels
There’s a great story somewhere on the interwebs about the doctor that was at Dave grohl’s concert. He was there as a fan but ended up onstage holding his leg immobile for the rest of the concert. Had lightening focus on the leg but knew the words to all of the songs. Dave and Taylor came back to the city after he healed up for an interview and the show host had arranged for the doctor to be there. It I was very heartwarming. Dave recognized the important role the MD played in his immediate wellbeing
As a metal fan I have one question: How can it be that a 50k people wall of death with people running into each other _on purpose_ is somehow safer than just existing in Astroworld? I have been part of so many walls of death and I simply don't get it. Don't rap/pop audiences learn how to (somewhat) safely crash into each other? Any metal show I've been at, you fall down and your are _instantly_ picked up by at least three dudes. You couldn't get trampled if you wanted to because everyone is looking out for you! Do better, fans!
As a short person who jumps into a lot of mosh pits, gotta second this. Somehow I am injured less in any pit with a bunch of muscular 6ft guys than in a pit that once formed at a pop punk concert full of first-time pitters and 5ft girls in full makeup. I will say the majority of them didn't seem to understand how a pit works, so there's that. Living in the south with heat waves, the artists I see are also always instantly aware of issues in the audience, and alert security as soon as they notice someone injured or passed out.
I think crowd dynamics is a lot more about venue design and crowd control measures than conscious decisions, especially by people who are actually in crush-zones. Above a certain point, a high density of humans is acts like a fluid. You can't pick yourself or anybody else up if you are being compressed to the point you can't move your arms, and even if nobody falls, pressures can get high enough that people just suffocate. A lot of trampling happens when there is some catalyst (e.g. a fire alert, or the grand opening of a store) which causes large numbers of people at the back of a crowd to simultaneously rush through openings (unaware of the broader situation), while people at the front at trapped in dead-ends or crushed against doorways. The solution is venue-design and crowd limits, not really education.
There's a lot more space between people and a lot more movement in a wall of death, plus everybody involved is usually in on it. Astroworld was more like a mob of people on Black Friday, a lot of innocent bystanders who didn't want anything to do with it get trampled.
Ten years I have suffered with daily pain from a labrum tear in my left hip. My doctor said it doesn't hurt. I never knew there was a surgery to take away the pain. Thank you.
I was so impressed at Greenday's Wembley show this year, Billy Joe saw someone in the crowd go down and stopped the show until help got there. Amazing observation skills during a high energy set.
I've loved Céline since I was a kid. Seeing her go through that is never getting easier. I just want to hug her so tightly all her broken pieces go back in their place. Her music helped me through my darkest times and I hate that she is going through something no one can really do anything about.
Stay safe when you're going to concert guys, help others who are in need, never push someone. RIP those poor guys The event organizers should be more prepared to keep a safe place to enjoy the concert
Nah, not always the case. You can push people, thrash around and enjoy yourself at punk and metal shows. Funnily enough, I've been to countless extreme metal shows, thrashed around, jumped from the stage and all kinds of shenanigans and never got hurt. Went to a Lana del Rey concert this summer and got a broken rib
Yeah, punk and metal shows are kinda self-policing regarding pit safety in my experience. The experienced audience members teach by example and eventually the less experienced become the experienced, having been taught by those who came before. People will stop and pick the fallen up and troublemakers are forced out. It’s indie rock concerts (and I guess hip hop, based on Astroworld and others, but I can’t speak from experience on that) where pits are dangerous and people are stupid in pits.
i gave myself sciatica while lifting when i was 15/16 and i still feel it on a constant to this day (21 now) i was very very active. all the sports, danced, lifting. now all i can do really is walking and sometimes running
Chiropractor and physical therapist. There are stretches and exercises that can help. Along with medicines like gabapentin if it’s worth the side effects for you. The side effects are NOT insignificant.
@@michellesmith4508 I'm horrified of chiropractors for many reasons and physical therapy isnt worth my money tbf. I used to do a lot of stretches on routine but they never seemed to help for more than an hour, though when it first happened it helped me to sleep so that was nice, mostly used to the pain now probs bc i've never taken medication for it. My father-in-law takes or used to take gabapentin (he broke his back kinda) so I definitely wont be doing that🤣
Simple Plan did the same thing when someone passed out from the heat. They even paused their set later on to confirm that she was okay. Amazing what little effort it takes to keep your fans safe.
A band called something corporate did as well. The lead singer noticed a girl struggling in the crowd and stopped the show and asked the security to come help her
I had sciatica once. My favorite sister-in-law had just died. Her husband was out of town. She was having trouble breathing, so she went to the ER. They told her she needed a pacemaker, and if she didn’t agree to it, she would be leaving AMA, and her insurance wouldn’t pay for the ER visit. So she got the pacemaker and they sent her home. The next day, her husband returned and found her dead of carbon monoxide poisoning. She lived 14 hours away, and the day we were to leave for the funeral, I had a sciatica attack. It hurt to stand, it hurt to sit. It hurt to do anything, but I was certain that I couldn’t endure the 14 hour drive. 😢 I still feel bad that I wasn’t able to go.
Sciatica is awful. I had it during my pregnancy because my baby was pressing on the nerve. I was sobbing in pain in bed. Nothing made it go away… I tried walking, showering, massaging. I had to go to the ER because I was so scared. Please don’t feel bad. You had a serious medical condition. Grieve the loss, but don’t allow yourself to live in guilt. I am certain she knew how much you loved her.
Hand injuries really are no joke. My dad does construction, and he was removing old single-pane windows from a house and the glass broke within the frame and fell on the top of the back of his hand and cut it. It was a deep cut, so he went to an urgent care center nearby. There were no doctors still there (late in the afternoon) so a nurse stitched him up and suggested he see a doctor as soon as possible. By the next day, he couldn't use his thumb or forefinger. He thought it was just because of the pain so he waited two days to go to the hospital at the urging of a friend who was a surgeon. They ended up having to do surgery because the tendons connecting his thumb and forefinger up into his wrist were completely severed. It took months of physical therapy to be able to use his hand again, and realistically, it was two years before he had full sensitive grasp mobility in his hand again. That urgent care center got shut down not long after, and it probably wasn't because of his case, but the fact a nurse didn't send him to the hospital rather than just stitch up that bad of a laceration to the back of the hand probably reflected on their standard of care in general.
As someone who goes to kpop concerts, I keep hearing people telling me that they wouldn't let themselves get pushed back, they'll do everything to stand in front and stay in front, etc. By now, I've heard enough stories that is not worth it. If someone behinds me starts pushing because they want to be in the front, I'll let them in front of me. I'm not risking getting crushed/pushed over/being pushed the entire concert just so I can be a little more in the front. Way too many of my friends fainted and missed the whole concert because they couldn't breathe because of all the pushing😅
That is terrifying that you know multiple people who couldn't breathe and fainted and missed a whole concert. I mean. What. No. Why does society allow situations to even get that dangerous.
8:56 - I don't know the situation at this event specifically, but I have been at concerts where I had no internet/phone service just because there are so many devices trying to connect all at the same time, it overwhelms the system. Odds are SOMEONE probably did have service, but it's shocking just how bad cell service can get in a massive crowd.
I actually came here to say the same thing. I go to a metal festival almost every year and cell service is terrible there because of the sheer amount of people at the same location trying to use it. I will say, phones should be able to send 911 calls/texts through because those get "prioritized" (whatever that means exactly) but there's only so much they can do if there is little to no cell service at all.
I couldn’t comprehend what addiction feels like until I broke my knee and was prescribed Percocet, I started realizing and told them to give me something lower
I have a lot of chronic illness related pain and I didn’t realize how normal felt until they gave me strong pain meds in the hospital. I didn’t get addicted, but I told my mom I totally understand why people have issues with pain killers like this. I wouldn’t be able to take them consistently because feeling somewhat normal was extremely jarring, and not something I want to get used to if it’s relying on an addictive pain killer. I also understand it because when the pain comes back it feels worse since you’re normally used to the constant pain and then get it taken away for a few hours completely.
same i almost got addicted to it i started taking the ones i had left even though i didn’t have pain anymore but luckily i stopped taking them, it was really eye opening like you said because it truly did feel euphoric and everything felt good and i realized how people can get addicted to stuff like this
That's one of my biggest fears. I don't a problem with addiction but my family does and whenever I'm in pain I rarely take pain meds. Even when I hurt my foot and it was 3times it's normal size, I tried not to take pain meds as much as possible.
When I was diagnosed with neuropathic pain in my legs, I was surprised that the doctor told me I don't need painkillers at all as they won't work for that kind of pain, but instead all I needed was Amitriptyline, which is actually an anti-depressant. I did some reading and while it is indeed used primarily as a tricyclic anti-depressant, it also works very well for nerve pain. It practically eliminated it after being on it for like a month.
I take amitriptyline for Interstitial Cystitis (Bladder Pain Syndrome). It’s been literally life changing for me and has the added benefit of making me sleep completely through the night!
A long time ago, probably 20 or so years, I went to a Three Days Grace concert. Before the headline act, the band was behind the venue playing ultimate frisbee, and one of them, I think Barry Stock, hurt his knee or ankle pretty bad. They dedicated the song "Pain" to him. He tried playing while sitting on a stool, but then he got up, kicked the stool away WITH HIS BAD LEG, and then played the whole show hopping around on one leg.
As someone with chronic pain which is always there thank you for talking about how its not always the best to get a patient to zero, to feel no pain I have to be so drugged up that I couldn’t tell you my own name, yeah I couldn’t feel the pain but that was because I just wasn’t there
You brought up a problem I think I experienced. I think I tore the labrum in my hip when I was in college marching band. Excruciating pain. Worst I've ever felt. I was screaming. They never could give me a reason for the pain when I went to the ER. They just gave me pain medication and had me rest. I was on crutches for 2.5 weeks. I have had problems from my hip ever since. Hip feels like it's locked up and can't swing forward. Hurts to move my leg but I can walk on it. Pain when sitting for long periods of time. Sometimes no pain just difficult to walk. I didn't think it could be a problem until I started having pain again last night and when you brought it up here. I will bring it up to my doctor next week when I see her. Thanks Dr. Mike!
Don't know how long ago this happened, but get this addressed at least thru bodywork before you age into it and your body compensates causing more issues. BTW, former cheerleader who's best friend was a longtime matching band then drum major & the discipline, hours, and skill you deliver is amazing! 👍🙏😎
I'm not sure how mine happened, but I was also diagnosed with a labral tear. At my worst, I would be OUT for at least a few days after walking just a mile. It hurt so badly. I ended up getting an injection and it helped so much. That was in 2019-2020, I think I need another injection soon!
@@msmeowmeow5107 I was reading and apparently it can happen from overuse. I was in marching band and ROTC from high school up until college, so I think that's how I got mine.
I'm surprised that the clip of Judas Priest's Guitarist Richie Faulkner wasn't included. The guy played an entire guitar solo with a ruptured aorta. He survived after emergency surgery.
Playing the Painkiller solo flawlessly while being on the verge of death is one of the most Metal things I’ve ever seen. Much respect to Richie, and I’m so glad he’s alright!
Shout out to hand specialist surgeons and occupational therapists; they brought my thumb back from useless to fully functional after I severed my extensor tendon with a kitchen knife. Sharpen your knives, everyone!
@11:14 OMG yes, I randomly had a sciatic nerve attack in my back and legs last June(2023) WHILE I was showering. I couldn't move or even get out of the shower. Thank God my Mom was working from home that day, I needed her to physically help me get out of the shower, dressed, and immediately laid on a flat surface, my couch. Took a few days but the pain finally went fully away... been stretching well since and **knock on wood** no more attacks. It was scary and extremely painful, dunno what I would've done if I was alone.
My mother has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and myself and my siblings all have varying degrees of symptoms of it. It's indeed a rough condition that increases the risk of other things from simple injures ending worse than in someone not effected, all the way to potential chances of serious organ issues and a reduced life expectancy (depending on type of EDS). Lets just hope the method of diagnosis improves once they start figuring out the genes that are linked to it and more research is done. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a good day! 🙂
I have EDS as well! I was only diagnosed at 20- something years old because my ankle literally broke just from walking up stairs. I also needed major leg surgery when I was around 14 where they had to break my femurs and put titanium rods in them to realign my bones so my hips would stop dislocating. They didn't know I had EDS at the time and thought it was just a random thing.. Mine just affects my joints to the point they're so weak and floppy that they get injured easily and normal wear and tear on them is a lot more than most peoples. I've never been able to run much even though I've always wanted to, and have bad scoliosis which is likely related. I also have POTS which is apparently very common in people with EDS as well. Just sharing for people who wonder what kind of issues it can cause.
@@Jjnnssiinngg Nice to hear from another person whos understands how this disorder affects people's lives. My mum has broken multiple bones, one I will always remember is when she broek her fibula and tiabi. They broke straight through (near the ankle) when she roled her ankle in a ditch while carrying my little sister who was a baby at the time. She somehow stayed upright so my father could grab my little sister so she wouldn't get hurt. My mother was diagnosed later in life, around 40ish and is honestly a right trooper! One of my younger siblings has scoliosis (also believed to be linked to EDS) and will dislocate her shoulders from basically nothing. A different sibling has extremly bad ankles issues and has got specially designed boots to help her get around. The wear and tear from normal things is horrible, especially running like with you. I love outdoor sports, rock climbing, gorge walking, moutain biking, etc, yet it's risky so I have to be way more careful. I'm luckier as I don't have it as severe as some of my other siblings even though I have symptoms that are a struggle to work with. My right shoulder I've got to get checked a likely get physio or more done depending on how it is. I injured it a while back lifting some heavy ojects and I no longer have the same strength anymore. I'm not sure if its linked to EDS but I also have full body pain concentrated around the joints and can't feel pain in my shoulders down except to bone damage. I've always been very careful physically as i've just felt like my joints were weaker adn flimsier, turns out I thought that for a good reason. It being a connective tissue disorder is just rough as it affects so many different areas of the body. Very annoying when people people find out I'm more flexible than the average person and some of them ask me to show how flexible I am. A you'll understand I won't show them as it's to much of a risk for a party trick deu to the chances I may injure myself or worsen any damage already there. Still funny though when I show how flexible I am to my dad and he's squeamish from it. My dad doesn't have EDS or and symptoms of it, he does however carry part of the genetics of it. Sorry for the wall of text, I got a little excited talking to someone who understands it. Thaks for reading to here, hava a good one!
The Who incident was partly because of some confusion between a stage hand and drummer Keith Moon. The band and stage crew DID plan on having a cannon inside the kick drum that would explode at the end of the song, but it didn’t go off correctly during rehearsal so between that point and the actual performance a stage hand planted a second charge into the cannon. However, Keith didn’t know about this so he took it upon himself to put his OWN additional charge in there, so by the time the band went on the cannon was TRIPLE loaded, resulting in what you saw there. And yes, part of Pete Townshend’s eventual tinnitus was due to this incident; additionally, Keith caught a bit of shrapnel from a broken cymbal and Pete’s hair was singed a bit.
I didn't know Gaga had a labral tear! I had surgery in 2021 to repair a labral tear due to bone spurs on my hip! I could barely walk at this point and I was in pain 24/7. When I sat in my car, I had to physically pick my leg up to put it in the car because I couldn't move it otherwise. My labrum was anchored back to my hip with FOUR anchors! But, thank goodness, I have been pain free since! That injury is no joke!
My entire family has a high tolerance for opioids, meaning they don't always work. Imagine what it's like having a total knee replacement and the only pain med they give you doesn't work. Six months of hell, not to mention the mental toll.
@@OzSteve9801 I was given oxycontin for my knee replacements. I took it for the first one and got the most horrible constipation ever. I didn't take it for the second. Not worth it. It didn't do a whole lot for the pain, but it did help me get some intermittent sleep. My pain was pretty well controlled with ice packs and ibuprofen for the second one. Lack of sleep for the first week or three and getting in and out of bed were the worst parts.
Yeah I remember having a muscle spasm in my calf once that was so intense it tore the muscle enough to make me sore for a week, and unable to comfortably walk on that leg. It was nuts. I was doing nothing, just laying in bed, stretching as I woke up and flexing my toes down, and that calf muscle just went crazy and locked up so bad I was screaming and writhing in pain. Can't imagine having something like that over my entire body like Celine is dealing with.
I used to get those every night. When they first started, I would scream out in pain, but eventually I learned that if you stand up and force your foot to flex back upward by putting your weight on it, it goes away really quickly. The other night though, I got an inner thigh cramp that was easily a 10 on the pain scale, and I've had appendicitis pain so bad that it almost knocked me out. This pain was so bad that I started sweating profusely and getting light-headed, and the worst part was that no amount of stretching in any direction would make it go away. It legitimately felt like I'd just been shot in the leg. I just had to stand on it hunched over for a solid five minutes until I could finally move it without it sending a shockwave through my whole body. On the plus side, the massive rush of adrenaline and endorphins lasted for a solid 30 minutes afterward. But I feel for you man, once you get used to them and know how to get rid of them, cramps aren't so bad, but those first few calf cramps I got were absolute hell on earth.
I had that one time; after trying everything for a week, my boyfriend talked me😮 into trying an ice pack. 20 minutes and I took it off. As my calf warmed up, the spasm eased enough I could stand and stretch.
The way I heard it, James Hetfield didn't get confused about where to go, but that the pyrotechnitians had informed him of a change to the positioning of the flame jets, but then went with the original plan without telling the band
EHLERS-DANLOS!!! I'm so glad you mentioned this disorder. My daughter suffers from Ehlers-Danlos and has for almost 10 of her 26 years. More research need to be done about Ehlers-Danlos, and hopefuly someday treatments will be available for her!!!
I have chronic pain and as long as I stay around a 6 on the pain scale, I consider it well enough managed. I have a pain dr and they’re good at finding the right combination of medication and other strategies to reduce pain without causing debilitating side effects. The goal is not to completely get rid of the pain, which isn’t even possible with my conditions, but to keep the pain and side effects at levels that still allow functioning and enjoyment of life. My meds and appt frequency (I have to be seen every 2mos for refills) are strictly monitored to prevent overuse. Some people think it’s a frustrating system but if it helps prevent opioid addiction, I’m more than happy to comply with the system!
I guess I don’t know where you are, but that system also keeps a lot of people from getting help, at least in the States. If you don’t have good insurance and can’t afford the treatment, you’re either dealing with a non-livable amount of pain until you die, or you have more debt than you can possibly handle. Drug addiction is bad. I agree with that. But the fact that the government would rather let people go untreated is just unethical.
The craziest part about James Hetfield's case is that he still performs the song on their Metallica concerts almost every time even 30 years later. The way he managed to overcome this type of trauma basically overnight is insane and deserves more recognition.
1:52 my dad messed up his hand skate boarding with our dog. Hit his right hand on a pole, and long story short, he can do much with that finger anymore. Thank goodness he's left handed.
PHYSICAL THERAPY, PEOPLE!!! I have bilateral sciatica that can go from no pain to I'm gonna DIE pain. I would have been frozen in the single position in which I could be more comfortable for the last 15 years if I t wasn't for PT. It's AWESOME!
Able to manage my sciatica/bulging disks by learning how to better process/reduce stress, chiropractor visits, physical therapy, and exercise, after I threw out my back. I was encouraged by my physical therapist to start slowly integrating exercise back into my routine shortly after my incident. Now, I no longer need chiropractic visits and only occasionally need to do a few stretches that I learned during physical therapy. But mostly just increasing the exercising and increasing it in both frequency and duration has given me years back on my life. Cardio + Strength Training might be the best prescription out there, in my opinion.
Glad you included Dave Grohl. It really is badass how he just snapped his leg and was like "Don't worry guys I'll be right back in a few minutes." Not to mention, continuing the tour with a specially built chair. Not many would do that!
It was even more badass than that. He broke his leg and the show paused for a bit while he got checked out by a doctor backstage. Then he came back out and finished the rest of the show in a chair with his leg held straight by the doctor the whole time to prevent further damage. Dave toughed out most of that show with a busted leg. He said it wouldn't feel right canceling the show so early on and didn't want to disappoint his fans. Such a cool dude. I saw an interview where he reunited with the doctor after several years. He was so excited to see him again that he ran up and hugged him.
@@rawwrrob9395 Speaking of Dave. Nirvana was performing and when Kurt noticed a guy groping a female in the audience he got up from his chair and told the guy off. Then, he and the rest of the band proceeded to mock him in front of the audience. I know that story was a little off topic but had to share.
I suffered a meniscus tear in my left knee, many years ago. After the accident, I was hospitalized. My knee filled up with fluid, which had to be drained. Even now, I have to be cautious where I step or run on uneven surfaces. It still "pops" now and then, and it is quite painful.
I was gonna say, Billie Eilish should definitely look into hyper mobility as a possible symptom or condition on its own. That can be the root cause of so many additional injuries. Also, my friend just realized she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - hypermobility, cause there are different types of EDS and each of different qualifiers (the hypermobility one apparently doesn't need the skin to be crazy stretchy, to be considered a qualifier). I say this for anyone in the comments relating to either. 💛
hello doctor mike! i have been watching your channel for 3+ years and as a teenager you have taught me so much. you even made me become the person i am today. i am more interested than ever in medicine, and the thought of it makes me really happy. words cant put into how much i wanna thank you for everything. you have amazing humor and a great personality, theres never a dull moment with you around. you have truly changed the world for the best. i never got to say how much i appreciate you since i always forget to because of your amazing videos. i hope you continue being awesome, good luck on your journey! love from greece❤
Chester Bennington broke his arm at the beginning of a concert, and ended up finishing the show because it was still gonna be broken afterwards. He loved to perform for us😂
It was his wrist not his arm but still every bit as painful and heroic! Chester was a force for sure and this planet is severely lacking without him here!
Yeah. Mike Shinoda was like "What do you want to do?" and he was like "Well, if I did break it, it'll be just as broken in two hours as it is now" and he played the whole show with his wrist deformed. You could tell it was broken. So he kept his broken arm touching his chest area and played the whole show holding the mic with his other hand. It was all because he jumped off a platform and didn't land on his feet as usual lol Linkin Park would also stop shows if they happened to see fans getting hurt in the crowd at least sometimes, not sure if they did it all the time
thank you for the subtitles!! :D so many people just leave it to auto captions but those are so bad! really appreciate the effort put into your videos :)
Every time my lower back attacked, I was not lifting anything or doing anything to trigger the attack. It would hit and I’d fall on the floor, on the spot. After many years of this, I had surgery and never had the problem again - knock on wood!!
In 1992, Nirvana's Krist Novoselic threw his bass guitar into the air and tried to catch it but it smacked him in the nose. It knocked him out cold. I think it was at the MTV awards.
I had a brutal muscle spasm in my lower back last year and it was the most painful thing that has ever happened to me. Which as a migraine sufferer is saying something. It took more than a week of muscle relaxants, laying on a heating pad and a few of the lowest pressure massages ever to start being able to move from flat on my back like a turtle. The walk-in doctor I saw was like 'what on earth did you DO?' once he had ascertained that it really just the muscles locked up, no tenderness in or around my spine. I picked up my 7 lb cat. Which I do multiple times a day. But this time I did it wrong apparently. Turned every single muscle into concrete and it was agony.
There’s a part of my heat sensitivity where I go into violent convulsions, then it goes into this thing where my adrenaline goes up, making my body stiffens. I can’t imagine the pain Celine Dion goes through. Bless her heart. She was beyond amazing at the Olympic ceremony. Just Beautiful…
Interestingly enough one of the treatment modalities for stiff person syndrome is an autologous stem cell transplant. The immune system is basically reset and the person is pain free. Autologous stem cell transplants have also been highly successful in treating other conditions such as MS by exactly the same mechanism- resetting the immune system
I wonder if fecal transplants would have an effect on that. That's such an interesting treatment method, and probably only hindered by the "ick" factor when people are told about it.
I watched the special w/Celine Dion & her condition & it broke my heart. She's always been one of my most favorite singers...she's been through so much in her adult life, & has such a beautiful soul. The fact this condition is incurable in itself for an average person is horrible in itself - seeing what she goes through daily...heartbreaking for such a wonderful soul.
“Health is just a state of mind, man! Maybe you need to just go out in nature!” I really think the crowd was just amped up, drugged up and drunk, so they didn’t want the party to end
In 2008, a doctor told me I'd be in a wheelchair in several years. While I did experience severe hip joint pain for a few years thereafter, the pain mostly disappeared around 2016 and hasn't reoccurred. So far, so good.
I was at that Foo Fighters show! He fell in the intro of like the second song. The fixed his leg as best they could so he could finish the show. An awesome show! 🤘
I wish Dr.Mike had seen the clip with the doctor holding Dave’s leg together for the rest of that show. Dave did a talkshow later where he met back up with the doctor and they were just sitting like laughing about how they were able to get away with that and the doctor said yeah if I had let go of your leg, your ankle would’ve just whooped to the side.
8:48 reminds me of the itaewon Halloween crush in 2022 which killed around 160 and injured dozens more. People were pushing each other and it was extremely difficult to breathe
Hi Dr. Mike >> Regarding Sciatica --> In Germany, GPs sometimes do sth. which they call "Quaddeln" (more of a laymens term) But in short, they locally inject a local anaesthetic (i believe subcutanously, but for sciatica, might even be lower) and this leaves little depots of the anaesthetic. This creates a situation, which greatly reduces pain, and lets patients regain their posture quickly (as this often prolongs the healing) and leaves them ready to do the rest of the conservative treatment... warmth, careful physiotherapy and little exercises and streching + oral medication with ibuprofen. This could help your patients as well, you might want to look into this on pubmed etc. if this is not common practice in the US. I hope this helps :) Thanks for your videos and have a lovely day!
0:34 I’ll never forget the time my husband & I went to go see Wiz Khalifa at Memphis in May in 2017. We were squished like we were in a sardine can with how many people tried squeezing in to see him perform. My husband had to literally barricade around me to make sure I wouldn’t get trampled (I’m 5’1”). Oof.
@@rebeccacrockett8334 I always either go for seated concerts where you have an assigned seat, or stay in the back lol. After experiencing that, it’s just not worth it. It’s very scary.
I have sciatica. From a DV attack. I’ve had one big flare up when my back went totally out. But now that I work a physically demanding job, it doesn’t hurt me like it used to. But my shoulder is another conversation I don’t wanna have 😂
sciatic nerve pain is pretty bad but when you also have fibromyalgia on top of it like i do you become very limited as far as what you can and cannot do i personally have on several occasions been wheel chair bound only now after years of begging doctors to listen am i starting to finaly learn that there is other issues that are making these things worse like narrowing of the spine both next to me head and between l5 and l2 where there is also bone spurs and missing torn and bulging discs
I’ll start by saying I’m not a Swifty. Grohl breaks his leg, Jackson is lit on fire, hetfield is lit on fire, but let’s talk about Taylor scrapping her hand. Maybe it’s not in this video and maybe her injury was worse but just feels like a scraped hand isn’t the same as exploding drums lol
Yes, but she gets views. The algorithm picks up popular mentions. Only know this bc a friend’s old video went viral by mentioning a future trending phrase. It was completely random.
I got sciatica from doing tai chi. I know it sounds stupid and I was in great shape, but I had to take another course in college but something about the way I was moving sent shocks down my foot and up my back for months. Know What is good for your body and listen to what your body says! It can heal in time if you don’t repeat the injuries and adjust your lifestyle❤
“Know what is good for your body and listen to what your body says” So true. I’m often told “don’t lift like that, you’ll hurt your back… lift like this”… so I did, and funnily enough, ‘this’ started my back problems! Now when someone says “do this” I say “I don’t do ‘this’ because ‘this’ hurts my back” We know our bodies better than anyone else. It’s a classic “dad joke” but it rings true: “Doctor, it hurts when I do this.” “Well, don’t do it then.” 😂
One time 2 years ago or something my friend's father my friend and I were flying a drone and it was coming directly towards me so I tried to hold it or something and I got little cuts (on my dominant hand )now that I'm watching this I'm so happy that I only got a few small cuts.
Had sciatica attacks. Can confirm how debilitating they are. At its worst I couldn't sit, stand, or walk for any length of time without being in excruciating pain. After that I started taking my posture and daily stretches seriously, and luckily haven't had any bad episodes for several years. First and most important step for me was to get a good chair with proper lumbar support that forces me to sit with healthy posture.
Left out The Station Nightclub fire of February 2003. 100 people died, hundreds more burned, the first time Childrens Hospital admitted adult patients to help with overflow.
As a person with Ehlers-Danlos, I’ve had pain since childhood. I’ve been taking opioids since my teens. I’d love it if I could skip opioids. Btw, I tore my right patellar tendon while walking in Costco. Very painful.
For shows, they must put a STOP system when that occur like: CUT all music, Turn ON all the light and PLAY a perticular sound that we must be all teached about.
It’s like an active shooter drill for concertgoers. I know concert fatalities have existed for a long time but with global entertainment access larger stadiums really are much more dangerous. You have a good idea there.
This is such a good idea. Hope it happens one day.
This is a great idea. The only time I don't believe it would work is when the dummies that like to riot show up.
Like that Idea actually! Should be mandated!
To be fair, this already does happen. I‘ve been to a lot of rock and metal concerts and as soon as the band notices someone falling down or something happening in the audience, they usually do immediately stop the music and use a spot light until everybody‘s up and ready again. If the musicians care about their audience, they do those measures you proposed already.
And the past tense of teach is taught.
With the Travis Scott incident, people WERE calling 911 en masse, the paramedics literally could not get to people, and when they were able to the number of people in need of help was way more than they had the resources for.
So Travis Scott is responsible for!
@@Cupcake41275Yup. He didn’t stop the show until it was too late.
That was a ritual sacrifice.
I'm not surprised I couldn't find more comments about idi0t Travis Scott, he's a monster
Fans defend him like he's a god. I don't get it and I hate him for every single person that he hurt or killed even though it wasn't literally his hands doing it
I think my comment and yours are the only ones talking about this
@@Cupcake41275well not exactly. He’s partially to blame because he encouraged people to get in even without tickets but the amount of paramedics and security and everything else is the team behind the event’s job. He doesn’t really have anything to do with the organization of Astroworld. Like he owned it and headlined it but that was about it
Listening to Celine Dion cry was heartbreaking. Hope her condition improves.
The documentary that video is from is pretty great. I Am Celine Dion, on Prime video. A little self-promotion-y but seems honest/transparent enough.
Was a very tuff documentary to watch 😢.
I really feel for Celine. 😢
Unfortunately it likely won’t. Most of these incurable diseases seem to get worse as people age.
@@byuftbl this is true, especially in progressive diseases without good treatment options. I have MS and was diagnosed in 2008... back then the prognosis was not very good for many living with it, but research & treatment options have vastly improved QOL for many. My MS is better controlled now than when I first fell ill around age 23, and my treatment put me into long term remission thankfully.
The Celine Dion one hit me hard. She was my mother's idol. I went to see her live a few times. Seeing that video broke my heart... my mother would have freaked out seeing this. I am thankful that I saw her live a few times, including the last time was in honor and memory of my mother... because I truly feel that unfortunately, her career is over.
If you haven't watched the documentary yet, I would. This scene is from it and the long version had me in tears. But much of it is quite funny and warm. Celine is not giving up on herself and we shouldn't either. Just a short while ago she couldn't even walk. She's making progress already. She may never tour again, but she wants to sing somehow and I believe she will.
Céline sang at the Paris Olympics. She did amazingly well. 😊
What hits hard about Celine Dion is that my Mom would have seizures. Witnessing such severe pain and having little you can do about it is one of the worst feelings.
I know about a band, Black veil brides who in there early years the lead singer fell from stage hit the rails directly on his ribs and continued the gig, he also completed the tour with broken ribs.
Andy
I was wondering if anyone else remembered this lol
it wasnt broken ribs, with broken ribs you barelly can breath , let alone move
@@kaimojepasltyou can still move and even sing with broken ribs … trust me. I’ve danced on stage with broken ribs, yes it’s painful but do-able
Andy didn't fall from the stage. He tried to jump from one wall to another above a walk way. However, he had been sitting on his legs for a while, and so his legs were falling asleep, which prevented him from making the jump, and he smashed his ribs on the top of the wall that he was trying to land on. He has a RUclips channel called The Andy Show, and he talks about it.
This video is a good reminder that we cannot minimize other people's pain. We cannot know how much pain they are feeling so is important to be empathetic.
💯!
With that being said getting kicked in the balls is so much worse than pregnancy 😢
Dr appt
@@QuitBuggin-r1s Not unless you're getting kicked in the balls everyday.
Wish Dr’s would not jump to “ your hooked on drugs “ chronic pain, muscle spasms are so bad I literally cannot move.
HIPAA wasn't enacted until 96, which is why Mike's doctor went on TV and talked about his condition.
10:56 Michael also got what Adele had during his "'Bad" tour and was told by his dr not to sing or talk often after his final tour leg in 1989
This is why he wasn't seen talking often until his 1993 Oprah interview
The concept of patient's privacy has existed since the original Hippocratic Oath. HIPAA just made it legally punishable. But it was unethical even then.
regardless, his life has been one of multiple tragedies... fame, greed, and bad decisions.
That's messed up. I was 18 in 96. And my doctors growing up ALWAYS told us that all doctors ( like lawyers) followed confidentiality clauses. Maybe it was not legally enforced, but it definitely existed with quality physicians 😮
@@ghillies4lifeyeah, I just came here to say that I didn't even see your comment until after I posted but I remember growing up all my doctors told me that everything was confidential just like with the lawyer. That's just really horrible what an awful person that guy was..the doctor that is.
Poor Gaga also developed fibromyalgia following her hip injury, which caused the pain to spread throughout her body and become chronic. She self-medicated with recreational drugs for a few years in order to get through her concerts but she’s clean from them now. Her story is quite harrowing and I feel like people don’t give her enough credit for what she’s been through. She’s in debilitating pain constantly and still dances, sings, acts, you name it. She’s incredible!
If I didn't see Gaga's doco and see some of her treatments including cannabis I wouldn't be here.
I empathize with her. I have hEDS, Fibromyalgia, endometriosis, and osteoarthritis, and I know I will never, ever have a pain free day ever again in my life. But I still have a full time job, I work with dementia residents. It's an uphill battle, daily. Both physically, and mentally.
She IS in incredible - I don't know how she does what she does!!
@@lizthedisjointedzebra692So very sorry... 😢
Oh God, I have fibromyalgia developed after an accident. When I see people who become pain med addicts with it, I always think how easily that could have been me. Especially at the beginning when people are telling you nothing is wrong and won't help. I was blessed to work in the medical field at the time. I worked for a doctor who actually cared, knew what it was, and got me officially diagnosed quickly. I knew what narcotics could do. The first place I went offered opioids (this was 20ish years ago). I said no, thank you. I know myself, and I know how easy it could go sideways. Took years to find a doctor that really helped me. All this to say, I know how awful being in pain can be
0:10 What about the peewoop!😅

I just rewound because I thought I missed it!
@DMH_701 lol
I have stiff person syndrome as well. It is not only painful but terrifying. You learn not to do things you enjoy out of fear of sending yourself into a spasm attack or seizure. I was diagnosed over 15 years ago and now because doctors don’t want to treat patients who require benzodiazepines I am without a specialist. I see a pain management Doctor but I’m only prescribed 1.5 mg of Clonazepam a day. People brag about taking more than that just for general anxiety. My life is at a standstill. I feel like I’ve missed my best years. It’s a progressive disease so I can only expect it will get worse. My pain can (and does) reach a 10/10 at times but I can’t go to the emergency room due to my contract with my pain management Doctor. I pray everyday that my pain management Doctor or PCP will magically refer me to a neurologist who is willing to treat me. Both the pain doctor and PCP have their hands tied as the can’t prescribe multiple benzodiazepines and I really need to take both Valium and Klonopin. If anyone reads this, please pray for me. ❤ 5:59
I hope you get the help you need. I'll think of you🌻
You have a contract that keeps you from going to the ER??? How is that legal?? That’s just a non-compete so all your money goes into this guy’s pocket, if you aren’t getting what you need, it’s benefiting him more than it’s benefitting you. I’m sure you’ve tried searching for alternatives. I guess all I can say is don’t give up on finding the relief you deserve, and keep advocating for yourself
@@your3kidding thank you! 😊 ❤️
@@lwilso9152 I think the purpose of the contract is to keep pill seekers from popping into the ER for extras. It basically says that I promise not to visit any doctor, including the ER , for additional pain medication. It could be to prevent accidental overdose as well (for those on opiates)
I'm curious why you are waiting for a referral, why don't you just make the appointment yourself? And if the neurologist requires a referral, they can get it from your doctor's office for you. Please be a good advocate for yourself, no one else can help you as much as you can! I hope things start getting better for you 😊
The youngest victim of Astroworld was NINE, but he technically did not die on the night of the concert. He died a few days later. But he never regained consciousness after being trampled by the crowd. Travis Scott offered his family free concert tickets. Always remember to hate Travis Scott.

yeah the kid got an apology in his song MY EYES too but he cant control who comes to his show or how many ppl go
That is just not true
The part about the concert tickets
@@nivleckone9106 ye because it was way too packed so it wasnt just his fault

What about explosive diarrhea?
The survivors of Nagasaki and Hiroshima can definitely verify that.
Billie Eilish in one video mentions a few things, Dr Mike immediately mentions EDS. Meanwhile my Drs for the last 35 year "nah you just can't handle pain well stop complaining".
I had a male doctor tell me I only *thought* I was in severe chronic pain. I had multiple hip tears that needed surgery but Ortho refuses because of the EDS so my hip pops out constantly. Plus other autoimmune disorders on top of that and daily migraines. I wanted to kick him in the nuts and tell him he only *thinks* he's in pain.
@@Birdnerd1968 he'd probably say that hurt worse than childbirth... I'm with you though! I had a hand and wrist surgeon tell me I can't have anything hypermobility related because I look my age (joke's on him I'm 35 and still ID'ed everywhere I go lol). He also had no explanation for my severe wrist pain but my suggestion of hypermobility was outrageous obviously.
I got so excited that he mentioned EDS😅 it’s so unfortunately rare for health care professionals to have even heard of it. Don’t give up looking for answers! The Ehlers danlos society website has a directory of knowledgeable providers. That directory is how I found the doctor that ended up diagnosing me.
@@nellafoots2251 I was diagnosed by accident in grad school when I fell down stairs. The school Dr who was setting my broken leg was pushing up on my foot and asking me to say when it hurt. I said nah it's not going to hurt because I'm very flexible. She did the Beighton test right there and said I needed to see a Dr who knew more because she only learned about it recently from a conference she went to but she thought I had EDS.
So they had me see one of the med school teachers who did dermatology stuff once a month. He said "it's not like EDS affects anything else or is dangerous so it's not worth pursuing." The original Dr said no you need to go figure this out because it could be related to other medical issues I was having, plus she knew enough that dangerous versions like the vascular one existed.
I moved shortly after and went to this massive hospital hooked up to a med school. The rheumatology dept said it's too rare and they only treat things like arthritis. Then they used me as a class lesson on what hEDS looks like, and had the nerve to charge me for an "extended" office visit. I said WTF you guys did nothing and then used me as a guinea pig without even asking and you want to charge me extra?! They also asked why I wasn't diagnosed earlier (I was 35). I said well you said it's rare, so how the heck was anyone supposed to know about what this was in the 80s? Plus both my parents have it so being flexible and in pain was normal in my family. So much so that my dad died of lung cancer that spread EVERYWHERE in his body and he said the pain was barely higher than his everyday joint pain so he just brushed it off as getting older. He died during a biopsy surgery so it's probably better he didn't suffer through treatment that wouldn't save him.
I wish there was a way to make doctors actually experience the stuff their patients live through on a daily basis. Then maybe they wouldn't be so quick to brush us off.
@@abbyb6958 thank you! I have actually been diagnosed, there are just still doctors out there that don't believe or understand it post diagnosis 🙄.
You could do an entire list of rock and metal medical emergencies. From bands like LP and SlipKnoT stopping their sets due to a medical emergency, to various musicians “playing” while higher than the ISS…you can include Sid’s jump from the riser-only to break BOTH of his heels
There’s a great story somewhere on the interwebs about the doctor that was at Dave grohl’s concert. He was there as a fan but ended up onstage holding his leg immobile for the rest of the concert. Had lightening focus on the leg but knew the words to all of the songs. Dave and Taylor came back to the city after he healed up for an interview and the show host had arranged for the doctor to be there. It I was very heartwarming. Dave recognized the important role the MD played in his immediate wellbeing
I can't believe that wasn't put as part of the video! That was the best part!
Man I miss Taylor Hawkins rip
i heard about this cantonese pop group who had a performer get crushed by a giant screen - he’s still in recovery to this day it’s really sad

As a metal fan I have one question:
How can it be that a 50k people wall of death with people running into each other _on purpose_ is somehow safer than just existing in Astroworld? I have been part of so many walls of death and I simply don't get it. Don't rap/pop audiences learn how to (somewhat) safely crash into each other?
Any metal show I've been at, you fall down and your are _instantly_ picked up by at least three dudes. You couldn't get trampled if you wanted to because everyone is looking out for you! Do better, fans!
As a short person who jumps into a lot of mosh pits, gotta second this. Somehow I am injured less in any pit with a bunch of muscular 6ft guys than in a pit that once formed at a pop punk concert full of first-time pitters and 5ft girls in full makeup. I will say the majority of them didn't seem to understand how a pit works, so there's that.
Living in the south with heat waves, the artists I see are also always instantly aware of issues in the audience, and alert security as soon as they notice someone injured or passed out.
Well well well well....
I think crowd dynamics is a lot more about venue design and crowd control measures than conscious decisions, especially by people who are actually in crush-zones. Above a certain point, a high density of humans is acts like a fluid. You can't pick yourself or anybody else up if you are being compressed to the point you can't move your arms, and even if nobody falls, pressures can get high enough that people just suffocate.
A lot of trampling happens when there is some catalyst (e.g. a fire alert, or the grand opening of a store) which causes large numbers of people at the back of a crowd to simultaneously rush through openings (unaware of the broader situation), while people at the front at trapped in dead-ends or crushed against doorways. The solution is venue-design and crowd limits, not really education.
There's a lot more space between people and a lot more movement in a wall of death, plus everybody involved is usually in on it. Astroworld was more like a mob of people on Black Friday, a lot of innocent bystanders who didn't want anything to do with it get trampled.
A lot more space & expectancy. Fans weren’t there for a mosh.
Ten years I have suffered with daily pain from a labrum tear in my left hip. My doctor said it doesn't hurt. I never knew there was a surgery to take away the pain. Thank you.
The pure casual tone in that last guy's voice when he said "I think I just broke my leg," was just so...*casual* that I had to chuckle.
Dr Mike

That's Dave. He's just something special.
I was so impressed at Greenday's Wembley show this year, Billy Joe saw someone in the crowd go down and stopped the show until help got there. Amazing observation skills during a high energy set.

I've loved Céline since I was a kid. Seeing her go through that is never getting easier. I just want to hug her so tightly all her broken pieces go back in their place. Her music helped me through my darkest times and I hate that she is going through something no one can really do anything about.
Even as someone who's never particularly been a fan of hers, that video of her was heartbreaking to watch.
@@DJHolteall the money in the world don’t cure it so sad praying for Celine 🙏🫶❤️🤗
Stay safe when you're going to concert guys, help others who are in need, never push someone. RIP those poor guys
The event organizers should be more prepared to keep a safe place to enjoy the concert
Nah, not always the case. You can push people, thrash around and enjoy yourself at punk and metal shows. Funnily enough, I've been to countless extreme metal shows, thrashed around, jumped from the stage and all kinds of shenanigans and never got hurt. Went to a Lana del Rey concert this summer and got a broken rib
One more reason to prefer small hippie festivals.
@@alemutasa6189 If they let you on the stage to jump off, it was probably a small show. Hard to get enough compression with 100 people in attendance.
@@MrCmon113 no buddy, I crowdsurfed and jumpstaged at many Dropkick Murphys shows
Yeah, punk and metal shows are kinda self-policing regarding pit safety in my experience. The experienced audience members teach by example and eventually the less experienced become the experienced, having been taught by those who came before. People will stop and pick the fallen up and troublemakers are forced out. It’s indie rock concerts (and I guess hip hop, based on Astroworld and others, but I can’t speak from experience on that) where pits are dangerous and people are stupid in pits.

i gave myself sciatica while lifting when i was 15/16 and i still feel it on a constant to this day (21 now) i was very very active. all the sports, danced, lifting. now all i can do really is walking and sometimes running
Chiropractor and physical therapist. There are stretches and exercises that can help. Along with medicines like gabapentin if it’s worth the side effects for you. The side effects are NOT insignificant.
@@michellesmith4508 I'm horrified of chiropractors for many reasons and physical therapy isnt worth my money tbf. I used to do a lot of stretches on routine but they never seemed to help for more than an hour, though when it first happened it helped me to sleep so that was nice, mostly used to the pain now probs bc i've never taken medication for it. My father-in-law takes or used to take gabapentin (he broke his back kinda) so I definitely wont be doing that🤣
My Dad also is dealing with the same thing. He is an active person as well.

A band named avenged sevenfold actually stopped their concert when a fan got hurt. Thats what youre supposed to do Travis!
Simple Plan did the same thing when someone passed out from the heat. They even paused their set later on to confirm that she was okay. Amazing what little effort it takes to keep your fans safe.
A band called something corporate did as well. The lead singer noticed a girl struggling in the crowd and stopped the show and asked the security to come help her
Problem with Avenged Sevenfold is listening to their music causes bleeding of the ears from how awful it is so they are used to that kind of thing
@@Zach0451when
Linkin Park did the same thing, during a concert lead singer saw that some fan fell to the ground, so he shouted in the mic "Pick'em up"
I had sciatica once. My favorite sister-in-law had just died. Her husband was out of town. She was having trouble breathing, so she went to the ER. They told her she needed a pacemaker, and if she didn’t agree to it, she would be leaving AMA, and her insurance wouldn’t pay for the ER visit. So she got the pacemaker and they sent her home. The next day, her husband returned and found her dead of carbon monoxide poisoning. She lived 14 hours away, and the day we were to leave for the funeral, I had a sciatica attack. It hurt to stand, it hurt to sit. It hurt to do anything, but I was certain that I couldn’t endure the 14 hour drive. 😢 I still feel bad that I wasn’t able to go.
Sciatica is awful. I had it during my pregnancy because my baby was pressing on the nerve. I was sobbing in pain in bed. Nothing made it go away… I tried walking, showering, massaging. I had to go to the ER because I was so scared. Please don’t feel bad. You had a serious medical condition. Grieve the loss, but don’t allow yourself to live in guilt. I am certain she knew how much you loved her.
My heart goes out to you, Janet 💌✨️
Wow. So, was the carbon monoxide poisoning from…. ?

Hand injuries really are no joke. My dad does construction, and he was removing old single-pane windows from a house and the glass broke within the frame and fell on the top of the back of his hand and cut it. It was a deep cut, so he went to an urgent care center nearby. There were no doctors still there (late in the afternoon) so a nurse stitched him up and suggested he see a doctor as soon as possible. By the next day, he couldn't use his thumb or forefinger. He thought it was just because of the pain so he waited two days to go to the hospital at the urging of a friend who was a surgeon. They ended up having to do surgery because the tendons connecting his thumb and forefinger up into his wrist were completely severed. It took months of physical therapy to be able to use his hand again, and realistically, it was two years before he had full sensitive grasp mobility in his hand again.
That urgent care center got shut down not long after, and it probably wasn't because of his case, but the fact a nurse didn't send him to the hospital rather than just stitch up that bad of a laceration to the back of the hand probably reflected on their standard of care in general.
As someone who goes to kpop concerts, I keep hearing people telling me that they wouldn't let themselves get pushed back, they'll do everything to stand in front and stay in front, etc.
By now, I've heard enough stories that is not worth it. If someone behinds me starts pushing because they want to be in the front, I'll let them in front of me. I'm not risking getting crushed/pushed over/being pushed the entire concert just so I can be a little more in the front. Way too many of my friends fainted and missed the whole concert because they couldn't breathe because of all the pushing😅
for this reason i am somewhat glad that my ult groups are not as popular 😭
That is terrifying that you know multiple people who couldn't breathe and fainted and missed a whole concert. I mean. What. No. Why does society allow situations to even get that dangerous.
8:56 - I don't know the situation at this event specifically, but I have been at concerts where I had no internet/phone service just because there are so many devices trying to connect all at the same time, it overwhelms the system. Odds are SOMEONE probably did have service, but it's shocking just how bad cell service can get in a massive crowd.
I actually came here to say the same thing. I go to a metal festival almost every year and cell service is terrible there because of the sheer amount of people at the same location trying to use it. I will say, phones should be able to send 911 calls/texts through because those get "prioritized" (whatever that means exactly) but there's only so much they can do if there is little to no cell service at all.
@@diabeticsrule1763You can actually 9-11 without service on iPhone. (I've done it before on accident, while my phone wasn't active😂.)
I couldn’t comprehend what addiction feels like until I broke my knee and was prescribed Percocet, I started realizing and told them to give me something lower
I have a lot of chronic illness related pain and I didn’t realize how normal felt until they gave me strong pain meds in the hospital. I didn’t get addicted, but I told my mom I totally understand why people have issues with pain killers like this. I wouldn’t be able to take them consistently because feeling somewhat normal was extremely jarring, and not something I want to get used to if it’s relying on an addictive pain killer. I also understand it because when the pain comes back it feels worse since you’re normally used to the constant pain and then get it taken away for a few hours completely.
same i almost got addicted to it i started taking the ones i had left even though i didn’t have pain anymore but luckily i stopped taking them, it was really eye opening like you said because it truly did feel euphoric and everything felt good and i realized how people can get addicted to stuff like this
That's one of my biggest fears. I don't a problem with addiction but my family does and whenever I'm in pain I rarely take pain meds. Even when I hurt my foot and it was 3times it's normal size, I tried not to take pain meds as much as possible.
I am glad you caught it early! I was prescribed oxycodon for my patella fracture too (didn’t take it for fear of addiction). Super scary stuff!
I am currently pregnant and haven't been able to take pain meds for months and I didn't realise how much I rely on them
When I was diagnosed with neuropathic pain in my legs, I was surprised that the doctor told me I don't need painkillers at all as they won't work for that kind of pain, but instead all I needed was Amitriptyline, which is actually an anti-depressant. I did some reading and while it is indeed used primarily as a tricyclic anti-depressant, it also works very well for nerve pain. It practically eliminated it after being on it for like a month.
The same with Cymbalta.
I take amitriptyline for Interstitial Cystitis (Bladder Pain Syndrome). It’s been literally life changing for me and has the added benefit of making me sleep completely through the night!
I used to use Amitriptyline and gabapentin (anti epileptic) for neuropathic pain crps and it works so well and gave me back my life
A long time ago, probably 20 or so years, I went to a Three Days Grace concert. Before the headline act, the band was behind the venue playing ultimate frisbee, and one of them, I think Barry Stock, hurt his knee or ankle pretty bad. They dedicated the song "Pain" to him. He tried playing while sitting on a stool, but then he got up, kicked the stool away WITH HIS BAD LEG, and then played the whole show hopping around on one leg.
As someone with chronic pain which is always there thank you for talking about how its not always the best to get a patient to zero, to feel no pain I have to be so drugged up that I couldn’t tell you my own name, yeah I couldn’t feel the pain but that was because I just wasn’t there

You brought up a problem I think I experienced. I think I tore the labrum in my hip when I was in college marching band. Excruciating pain. Worst I've ever felt. I was screaming. They never could give me a reason for the pain when I went to the ER. They just gave me pain medication and had me rest. I was on crutches for 2.5 weeks. I have had problems from my hip ever since. Hip feels like it's locked up and can't swing forward. Hurts to move my leg but I can walk on it. Pain when sitting for long periods of time. Sometimes no pain just difficult to walk.
I didn't think it could be a problem until I started having pain again last night and when you brought it up here. I will bring it up to my doctor next week when I see her. Thanks Dr. Mike!
Don't know how long ago this happened, but get this addressed at least thru bodywork before you age into it and your body compensates causing more issues. BTW, former cheerleader who's best friend was a longtime matching band then drum major & the discipline, hours, and skill you deliver is amazing! 👍🙏😎
I'm not sure how mine happened, but I was also diagnosed with a labral tear. At my worst, I would be OUT for at least a few days after walking just a mile. It hurt so badly. I ended up getting an injection and it helped so much. That was in 2019-2020, I think I need another injection soon!
@@msmeowmeow5107 I was reading and apparently it can happen from overuse. I was in marching band and ROTC from high school up until college, so I think that's how I got mine.

@11:14 OMG yes, I randomly had a sciatic nerve attack in my back and legs last June(2023) WHILE I was showering. I couldn't move or even get out of the shower. Thank God my Mom was working from home that day, I needed her to physically help me get out of the shower, dressed, and immediately laid on a flat surface, my couch. Took a few days but the pain finally went fully away... been stretching well since and **knock on wood** no more attacks. It was scary and extremely painful, dunno what I would've done if I was alone.
It is one of the most painful things I have to endure in my life. It is so random too. I feel for you!!
Hi Dr Mike
My mother has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and myself and my siblings all have varying degrees of symptoms of it. It's indeed a rough condition that increases the risk of other things from simple injures ending worse than in someone not effected, all the way to potential chances of serious organ issues and a reduced life expectancy (depending on type of EDS). Lets just hope the method of diagnosis improves once they start figuring out the genes that are linked to it and more research is done.
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a good day! 🙂
I have EDS as well! I was only diagnosed at 20- something years old because my ankle literally broke just from walking up stairs. I also needed major leg surgery when I was around 14 where they had to break my femurs and put titanium rods in them to realign my bones so my hips would stop dislocating. They didn't know I had EDS at the time and thought it was just a random thing.. Mine just affects my joints to the point they're so weak and floppy that they get injured easily and normal wear and tear on them is a lot more than most peoples. I've never been able to run much even though I've always wanted to, and have bad scoliosis which is likely related. I also have POTS which is apparently very common in people with EDS as well.
Just sharing for people who wonder what kind of issues it can cause.
@@Jjnnssiinngg Nice to hear from another person whos understands how this disorder affects people's lives.
My mum has broken multiple bones, one I will always remember is when she broek her fibula and tiabi. They broke straight through (near the ankle) when she roled her ankle in a ditch while carrying my little sister who was a baby at the time. She somehow stayed upright so my father could grab my little sister so she wouldn't get hurt. My mother was diagnosed later in life, around 40ish and is honestly a right trooper! One of my younger siblings has scoliosis (also believed to be linked to EDS) and will dislocate her shoulders from basically nothing. A different sibling has extremly bad ankles issues and has got specially designed boots to help her get around.
The wear and tear from normal things is horrible, especially running like with you. I love outdoor sports, rock climbing, gorge walking, moutain biking, etc, yet it's risky so I have to be way more careful. I'm luckier as I don't have it as severe as some of my other siblings even though I have symptoms that are a struggle to work with. My right shoulder I've got to get checked a likely get physio or more done depending on how it is. I injured it a while back lifting some heavy ojects and I no longer have the same strength anymore. I'm not sure if its linked to EDS but I also have full body pain concentrated around the joints and can't feel pain in my shoulders down except to bone damage. I've always been very careful physically as i've just felt like my joints were weaker adn flimsier, turns out I thought that for a good reason.
It being a connective tissue disorder is just rough as it affects so many different areas of the body. Very annoying when people people find out I'm more flexible than the average person and some of them ask me to show how flexible I am. A you'll understand I won't show them as it's to much of a risk for a party trick deu to the chances I may injure myself or worsen any damage already there. Still funny though when I show how flexible I am to my dad and he's squeamish from it. My dad doesn't have EDS or and symptoms of it, he does however carry part of the genetics of it.
Sorry for the wall of text, I got a little excited talking to someone who understands it. Thaks for reading to here, hava a good one!
The Who incident was partly because of some confusion between a stage hand and drummer Keith Moon. The band and stage crew DID plan on having a cannon inside the kick drum that would explode at the end of the song, but it didn’t go off correctly during rehearsal so between that point and the actual performance a stage hand planted a second charge into the cannon. However, Keith didn’t know about this so he took it upon himself to put his OWN additional charge in there, so by the time the band went on the cannon was TRIPLE loaded, resulting in what you saw there. And yes, part of Pete Townshend’s eventual tinnitus was due to this incident; additionally, Keith caught a bit of shrapnel from a broken cymbal and Pete’s hair was singed a bit.
I didn't know Gaga had a labral tear! I had surgery in 2021 to repair a labral tear due to bone spurs on my hip! I could barely walk at this point and I was in pain 24/7. When I sat in my car, I had to physically pick my leg up to put it in the car because I couldn't move it otherwise. My labrum was anchored back to my hip with FOUR anchors! But, thank goodness, I have been pain free since! That injury is no joke!
Can you make another video completely about pain management? I'm a nurse and that bit about the new vital sign being pain level really hit home.
My entire family has a high tolerance for opioids, meaning they don't always work. Imagine what it's like having a total knee replacement and the only pain med they give you doesn't work. Six months of hell, not to mention the mental toll.
@@OzSteve9801 I was given oxycontin for my knee replacements. I took it for the first one and got the most horrible constipation ever. I didn't take it for the second. Not worth it. It didn't do a whole lot for the pain, but it did help me get some intermittent sleep. My pain was pretty well controlled with ice packs and ibuprofen for the second one. Lack of sleep for the first week or three and getting in and out of bed were the worst parts.
5:29 that was heartbreaking to watch.
Yeah, I don't know why but it really got me. I coulndt watch it.
Seeing such a strong person like Celine cry is heartbreaking, it bothered me too
How was your day today
Yeah I remember having a muscle spasm in my calf once that was so intense it tore the muscle enough to make me sore for a week, and unable to comfortably walk on that leg. It was nuts. I was doing nothing, just laying in bed, stretching as I woke up and flexing my toes down, and that calf muscle just went crazy and locked up so bad I was screaming and writhing in pain. Can't imagine having something like that over my entire body like Celine is dealing with.
I used to get those every night. When they first started, I would scream out in pain, but eventually I learned that if you stand up and force your foot to flex back upward by putting your weight on it, it goes away really quickly. The other night though, I got an inner thigh cramp that was easily a 10 on the pain scale, and I've had appendicitis pain so bad that it almost knocked me out. This pain was so bad that I started sweating profusely and getting light-headed, and the worst part was that no amount of stretching in any direction would make it go away. It legitimately felt like I'd just been shot in the leg. I just had to stand on it hunched over for a solid five minutes until I could finally move it without it sending a shockwave through my whole body. On the plus side, the massive rush of adrenaline and endorphins lasted for a solid 30 minutes afterward. But I feel for you man, once you get used to them and know how to get rid of them, cramps aren't so bad, but those first few calf cramps I got were absolute hell on earth.
That happened to me in 2007, and it still hurts now.
I was told it's cause you need more potassium
I had that one time; after trying everything for a week, my boyfriend talked me😮 into trying an ice pack. 20 minutes and I took it off. As my calf warmed up, the spasm eased enough I could stand and stretch.
Did you use benzodiazepines? 5:28

EHLERS-DANLOS!!! I'm so glad you mentioned this disorder. My daughter suffers from Ehlers-Danlos and has for almost 10 of her 26 years. More research need to be done about Ehlers-Danlos, and hopefuly someday treatments will be available for her!!!
Considering that EDS is a genetic disease, she's had it for 26 of her 26 years.
I have elers danlos! It is a big problem and I have a lot of pain because of it
I have chronic pain and as long as I stay around a 6 on the pain scale, I consider it well enough managed. I have a pain dr and they’re good at finding the right combination of medication and other strategies to reduce pain without causing debilitating side effects. The goal is not to completely get rid of the pain, which isn’t even possible with my conditions, but to keep the pain and side effects at levels that still allow functioning and enjoyment of life. My meds and appt frequency (I have to be seen every 2mos for refills) are strictly monitored to prevent overuse. Some people think it’s a frustrating system but if it helps prevent opioid addiction, I’m more than happy to comply with the system!
I guess I don’t know where you are, but that system also keeps a lot of people from getting help, at least in the States.
If you don’t have good insurance and can’t afford the treatment, you’re either dealing with a non-livable amount of pain until you die, or you have more debt than you can possibly handle.
Drug addiction is bad. I agree with that. But the fact that the government would rather let people go untreated is just unethical.
The craziest part about James Hetfield's case is that he still performs the song on their Metallica concerts almost every time even 30 years later. The way he managed to overcome this type of trauma basically overnight is insane and deserves more recognition.
1:52 my dad messed up his hand skate boarding with our dog. Hit his right hand on a pole, and long story short, he can do much with that finger anymore. Thank goodness he's left handed.
PHYSICAL THERAPY, PEOPLE!!! I have bilateral sciatica that can go from no pain to I'm gonna DIE pain. I would have been frozen in the single position in which I could be more comfortable for the last 15 years if I t wasn't for PT. It's AWESOME!
Exactly that and a little bit of yoga is what my aunt it doing to deal with her sciatica
Able to manage my sciatica/bulging disks by learning how to better process/reduce stress, chiropractor visits, physical therapy, and exercise, after I threw out my back. I was encouraged by my physical therapist to start slowly integrating exercise back into my routine shortly after my incident. Now, I no longer need chiropractic visits and only occasionally need to do a few stretches that I learned during physical therapy. But mostly just increasing the exercising and increasing it in both frequency and duration has given me years back on my life. Cardio + Strength Training might be the best prescription out there, in my opinion.
Glad you included Dave Grohl. It really is badass how he just snapped his leg and was like "Don't worry guys I'll be right back in a few minutes." Not to mention, continuing the tour with a specially built chair. Not many would do that!
Cheating jealous loser sorry. He was cool in nirvana but fell off hard
It was even more badass than that. He broke his leg and the show paused for a bit while he got checked out by a doctor backstage. Then he came back out and finished the rest of the show in a chair with his leg held straight by the doctor the whole time to prevent further damage. Dave toughed out most of that show with a busted leg. He said it wouldn't feel right canceling the show so early on and didn't want to disappoint his fans. Such a cool dude.
I saw an interview where he reunited with the doctor after several years. He was so excited to see him again that he ran up and hugged him.
@@rawwrrob9395 Speaking of Dave. Nirvana was performing and when Kurt noticed a guy groping a female in the audience he got up from his chair and told the guy off. Then, he and the rest of the band proceeded to mock him in front of the audience. I know that story was a little off topic but had to share.
@@rawwrrob9395 I saw that interview! Very sweet. It was probably a real highlight of that doctor's career considering he was also a big Foo fan!
I suffered a meniscus tear in my left knee, many years ago. After the accident, I was hospitalized. My knee filled up with fluid, which had to be drained.
Even now, I have to be cautious where I step or run on uneven surfaces. It still "pops" now and then, and it is quite painful.
I was gonna say, Billie Eilish should definitely look into hyper mobility as a possible symptom or condition on its own. That can be the root cause of so many additional injuries. Also, my friend just realized she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - hypermobility, cause there are different types of EDS and each of different qualifiers (the hypermobility one apparently doesn't need the skin to be crazy stretchy, to be considered a qualifier). I say this for anyone in the comments relating to either. 💛

Chester Bennington broke his arm at the beginning of a concert, and ended up finishing the show because it was still gonna be broken afterwards. He loved to perform for us😂
RIP Chester 🙏🏽
It was his wrist not his arm but still every bit as painful and heroic! Chester was a force for sure and this planet is severely lacking without him here!
Yeah. Mike Shinoda was like "What do you want to do?" and he was like "Well, if I did break it, it'll be just as broken in two hours as it is now" and he played the whole show with his wrist deformed. You could tell it was broken. So he kept his broken arm touching his chest area and played the whole show holding the mic with his other hand. It was all because he jumped off a platform and didn't land on his feet as usual lol Linkin Park would also stop shows if they happened to see fans getting hurt in the crowd at least sometimes, not sure if they did it all the time
thank you for the subtitles!! :D
so many people just leave it to auto captions but those are so bad!
really appreciate the effort put into your videos :)
Every time my lower back attacked, I was not lifting anything or doing anything to trigger the attack. It would hit and I’d fall on the floor, on the spot. After many years of this, I had surgery and never had the problem again - knock on wood!!
I think I am hearing empathy from the crowd..."noooooooo!", when Dave broke his leg. 😱🥺
In 1992, Nirvana's Krist Novoselic threw his bass guitar into the air and tried to catch it but it smacked him in the nose. It knocked him out cold. I think it was at the MTV awards.
I had a brutal muscle spasm in my lower back last year and it was the most painful thing that has ever happened to me. Which as a migraine sufferer is saying something. It took more than a week of muscle relaxants, laying on a heating pad and a few of the lowest pressure massages ever to start being able to move from flat on my back like a turtle. The walk-in doctor I saw was like 'what on earth did you DO?' once he had ascertained that it really just the muscles locked up, no tenderness in or around my spine.
I picked up my 7 lb cat. Which I do multiple times a day. But this time I did it wrong apparently. Turned every single muscle into concrete and it was agony.
There’s a part of my heat sensitivity where I go into violent convulsions, then it goes into this thing where my adrenaline goes up, making my body stiffens. I can’t imagine the pain Celine Dion goes through. Bless her heart. She was beyond amazing at the Olympic ceremony. Just Beautiful…
After 40 years of living I came to know that thing about bending your ankles... happened to my shoulder too 😢
I'm surprised you didn't talk about Niall Horan's knee injury from a fan throwing a show on stage, but an amazing video none the less!
Interestingly enough one of the treatment modalities for stiff person syndrome is an autologous stem cell transplant. The immune system is basically reset and the person is pain free. Autologous stem cell transplants have also been highly successful in treating other conditions such as MS by exactly the same mechanism- resetting the immune system
I wonder if fecal transplants would have an effect on that. That's such an interesting treatment method, and probably only hindered by the "ick" factor when people are told about it.
I love hearing Doctor Mikes personal stories and experiences when he's explaining stuff. It's almost comforting lol
Love this channel!

I watched the special w/Celine Dion & her condition & it broke my heart. She's always been one of my most favorite singers...she's been through so much in her adult life, & has such a beautiful soul. The fact this condition is incurable in itself for an average person is horrible in itself - seeing what she goes through daily...heartbreaking for such a wonderful soul.
I remember the Michael Jackson story from when I was a kid..... It was all over the news

“Health is just a state of mind, man! Maybe you need to just go out in nature!” I really think the crowd was just amped up, drugged up and drunk, so they didn’t want the party to end

Dave did a talkshow later where he met back up with the doctor and they were just sitting like laughing about how they were able to get away with that and the doctor said yeah if I had let go of your leg, your ankle would’ve just whooped to the side.
@@cecilywidmann4539 yes I saw that. Pretty funny 😛
8:48 reminds me of the itaewon Halloween crush in 2022 which killed around 160 and injured dozens more. People were pushing each other and it was extremely difficult to breathe
Hi Dr. Mike >> Regarding Sciatica
--> In Germany, GPs sometimes do sth. which they call "Quaddeln" (more of a laymens term)
But in short, they locally inject a local anaesthetic (i believe subcutanously, but for sciatica, might even be lower) and this leaves little depots of the anaesthetic. This creates a situation, which greatly reduces pain, and lets patients regain their posture quickly (as this often prolongs the healing) and leaves them ready to do the rest of the conservative treatment... warmth, careful physiotherapy and little exercises and streching + oral medication with ibuprofen.
This could help your patients as well, you might want to look into this on pubmed etc. if this is not common practice in the US.
I hope this helps :) Thanks for your videos and have a lovely day!
0:34 I’ll never forget the time my husband & I went to go see Wiz Khalifa at Memphis in May in 2017. We were squished like we were in a sardine can with how many people tried squeezing in to see him perform. My husband had to literally barricade around me to make sure I wouldn’t get trampled (I’m 5’1”). Oof.
No standing festival concert tickets for me. I'm 5 ft tall. I'm terrified of being trampled
@@rebeccacrockett8334 I always either go for seated concerts where you have an assigned seat, or stay in the back lol. After experiencing that, it’s just not worth it. It’s very scary.
Not even short but I’m scared as well, I have been injured before and if i get hurt I’ll be no more.
Dr Mike is the best!
NO PEEWHOOP?
I have problems with sciatica, most of the time it happens during the night while i sleep, hurts like heck.
Rare footage of Mike not saying pewoop for the intro
you know how to find the most interesting content as a healthcare worker and im here for it
I have sciatica. From a DV attack. I’ve had one big flare up when my back went totally out. But now that I work a physically demanding job, it doesn’t hurt me like it used to. But my shoulder is another conversation I don’t wanna have 😂
15:59 missed opportunity to say brock & roll’d (or is it broke and roll’d 😅)
Or even broke and Grohl
Rest in peace to everyone who didn’t survive ❤ and sorry for everyone’s loss❤❤❤❤❤
sciatic nerve pain is pretty bad but when you also have fibromyalgia on top of it like i do you become very limited as far as what you can and cannot do i personally have on several occasions been wheel chair bound only now after years of begging doctors to listen am i starting to finaly learn that there is other issues that are making these things worse like narrowing of the spine both next to me head and between l5 and l2 where there is also bone spurs and missing torn and bulging discs
I’ll start by saying I’m not a Swifty. Grohl breaks his leg, Jackson is lit on fire, hetfield is lit on fire, but let’s talk about Taylor scrapping her hand. Maybe it’s not in this video and maybe her injury was worse but just feels like a scraped hand isn’t the same as exploding drums lol
Yes, but she gets views. The algorithm picks up popular mentions. Only know this bc a friend’s old video went viral by mentioning a future trending phrase. It was completely random.
I just surprised that he talked about that, rather than when a woman died at one of her concerts 🤷♀️
@@lizzieg4535 Well hey, Travis got 10 killed at one of his. At least with her it probably wasn't her fault.
I got sciatica from doing tai chi. I know it sounds stupid and I was in great shape, but I had to take another course in college but something about the way I was moving sent shocks down my foot and up my back for months. Know What is good for your body and listen to what your body says! It can heal in time if you don’t repeat the injuries and adjust your lifestyle❤
“Know what is good for your body and listen to what your body says”
So true.
I’m often told “don’t lift like that, you’ll hurt your back… lift like this”… so I did, and funnily enough, ‘this’ started my back problems! Now when someone says “do this” I say “I don’t do ‘this’ because ‘this’ hurts my back”
We know our bodies better than anyone else.
It’s a classic “dad joke” but it rings true:
“Doctor, it hurts when I do this.”
“Well, don’t do it then.” 😂
DR MIKE MAKES ME WANNA BECOME A DOCTOR ❤❤and the video quality is alwayss perfect 👌
chillest doctor ever!
One time 2 years ago or something my friend's father my friend and I were flying a drone and it was coming directly towards me so I tried to hold it or something and I got little cuts (on my dominant hand )now that I'm watching this I'm so happy that I only got a few small cuts.
Voltaren for sciatica is fabulous
Had sciatica attacks. Can confirm how debilitating they are. At its worst I couldn't sit, stand, or walk for any length of time without being in excruciating pain. After that I started taking my posture and daily stretches seriously, and luckily haven't had any bad episodes for several years. First and most important step for me was to get a good chair with proper lumbar support that forces me to sit with healthy posture.
8:30 skip ship station
Thanks lol
Left out The Station Nightclub fire of February 2003. 100 people died, hundreds more burned, the first time Childrens Hospital admitted adult patients to help with overflow.
As a person with Ehlers-Danlos, I’ve had pain since childhood. I’ve been taking opioids since my teens. I’d love it if I could skip opioids.
Btw, I tore my right patellar tendon while walking in Costco. Very painful.
9:57 "It was all very Mercury in retrograde coded"
Good thing people don't rely on pop stars for important things.... They don't, right?
