hi off the ranch
Grilled cheese
Listen to the doctors. Listen to your wife. Mid fifties here with back pain and if if I could go back to age 30 I hope I would take better care of it...
We won't tell Mere'... but you better listen to Mere'.
The End
Because of the reduced cartilage the chance of causing more issues is high until your body has time to heal. What would you recommend for a older dog after this type of procedure? Perhaps Mere needs to put you into a isolation cage like you do with dogs after surgery. lol
And don’t forget the knees…. The painful knees… 😣
Just turned 30 not looking forward to surgery on my back, right shoulder, and left knee.😭😭😭
Me too..I was 20..thought I was invincible...scar tissue, chronic pain etc. Arthritis in the joint...bad. Takes me forever to move in the morning. Can't sleep for more than 4-5 hours. Have to get up and move. Dr's told me I couldn't go back to work at my job. I did. I suffer now for not listening then. So stupid.
As someone that has had 6 back surgeries in the last 7 1/2 years, please listen to your doctors. I didn't and I had that same surgery 3 times and now I have a nerve stimulator to block out the pain. Just don't push it or you will be right back in there for another surgery. Hope the recovery goes well!
I had my surgery in 98 I still have to get out of bed that way
I also have a spinal cord stimulator... it's a life saver...
Ye He need to listen to Hes doctors
3 surgery’s here. Including an artifice disc L4/L5.
He is a Doctor himself (sort of, lol) Doctors and nurses are seriously the worst patients.
I'm a nurse practitioner at a spine surgery clinic. We do decompression surgeries and fusions every day, and I have definitely treated many non-compliant patients post op. Very frustrating to spend all that work (several months typically) to optimize the patient preoperatively just to have them resume their normal activities the next day and end up in the clinic asking for narcotics because they can barely get out of bed the following morning. I would listen to your doctor. It's not worth it! It's very easy to reherniate a disc after a discectomy.
Yup i reherniated mine about 6 months later. Prior to the initial surgery my treatment plan was narcotics for 2 years which led to me being addicted. Havent fixed it yet and just dealing for now.
Stephen...Tell him!!!! I had a car accident not my fault it’s been 11 Yrs and 3 surgeries on back! Feb 2021 was the third finally getting better!
So Stephen, how safe is getting a operation if i have scoliosis and a herniated disc?
I've been thinking about it since i've lived like this for 3 years or so but im scared it could go wrong
Btw im 18 if that serves for anything
We can refuse medical or surgical intervention based on noncompliance, in fact sometimes it is an ethical obligation to refuse. Further, non-compliance can be a powerful defense if the patient has a complication and decides to sue. At least he said he would tell his doctor. I haven't finished the video yet so I don't know what happens after he says that at 1:43. We can't use an Elizabethan collar like Vets can. ;)
@@FernandoChaves Thank You, I was Flabbergasted hearing him say what he did, being how Bad I Suffer from Back Pain after a Hemilaminectomy in 1987 & Bilateral Disc Decompression Plus at 4 Levels in 2001.
Injured my back in a motor cycle accident when I was 18 and ignored the doctors advice. Now I'm 60 and in daily pain, if I could go back and see my 18 year old self I would strap him down to stop the damage he did to our back. Rest Matt, you are a doctor you know how important healing time is. Question: Do you want to be able to play with your grand kids or just watch them play?
He is a veterinarian and yet he plays tough, even though he knows (or at least should know) very well how important is rest after surgery for the body to heal up. I don't understand. And veterinary medicine is harder imo, than human medicine. You have to know so many species, anatomies, physiologies etc. Not saying that human medicine is easy, no way, that is really hard too.
As a nurse who works in spinal surgery, I see patients come back all the like you who didn't listen.
You can cause more spinal cord damage. Lifting more than 10lbs can cause more pinching and loss of sensation or motor movement. Sometimes it's permanent. Same as twisting. Patients come back and have to get metal plates in their back because they decided it wasn't necessary to listen. Much more of an invasive surgery and mobility is never 100%.
The bathing makes sure your spinal incision doesn't dehisce. It's not about "clean water" it's about glue dissolving before the skin has healed.
Not driving is to make sure you don't lose sensation in your legs or lose function and cause a crash.
But you are a grown man, I just hope you fully understand the risks you are making. Remember work smarter Not harder? Applies to surgery patients too. It's annoying but it will save you in the long run.
I don’t really care if he screws himself over bc it would teach him a lesson but the driving thing is terrifying and dangerous. It is also incredibly selfish
Well said. As someone that thought they could do whatever I wanted after a discectomy, then ended up with 5 additional surgeries to fix what I screwed up, I couldn't agree more. The spine is just something you don't want to rush when it comes to getting back to life as normal.
@@elizabethb1096 He's kidding. He's a pretty smart dude, but just that ... a dude! He knows better, and has no legit intention of risking it.
@@vonormykirk 100% agree ...He's playing that part up...Besides Mere would jerk a knot in his tail!
Alaina marie screw that I drove right after my spinal fusion ,and I was fine.
Matt, as someone living with lower back problems for years, please listen to the doctor’s instructions. You don’t want to get another surgery later on after living in excruciating pain for years if you don’t have to. Please stay in bed for a couple weeks.
Matt, don't fuck around. It's your spine. Seriously, rest.
Leave him he thinks hes a tough guy
@@BENYEET Well, I love this tough guy and want to see him last to see some grand-babies. Don't need him in a wheelchair.
you aint kiddin c3 thru c7 fractures here I didnt listen and Im paying for it Matt is a good dude I hope the best for him and his family
Honestly tho
@@BENYEET pretty sure hes just joking lol
Matt, after having a microdiscectomy that actually went well...I stupidly went back to work after only 4 days. I'm now stuck paying the price waiting for spinal fusion surgery and taking 30 pills a day to manage the pain. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Listen to your doctor and wife!
4 days, holy.... I was 13 months before working again. Can't imagine 4 days
@@Drinnan it was pretty rough...put a new kitchen in at my restaurant 😂
Don’t. Run away from fusion. Search for ADR.
Joe Crowe, I did the same thing, 10 surgerys and now fused I wish I listened alittle closer to. Life has been changed forever... :(
Very wise advice. I've had 3 of these procedures now, all because I didn't rest properly. A Magnetic therapy bracelet was prescribed and helps lotsssssssss
After 6 years in the Army and nearly 20 in law enforcement I've had disectomies, from L3 to S1. A fusion in the future is almost inevitable. Listen to Mare, DO WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS. You're still young enough you don't have to end up like me! Get well soon.
Thank you for your service sir 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service!!! ✝️🙏❤️🇺🇸
Hey bud, from someone who’s had a broken back and 3 back surgeries, I hope you have a easy recovery and please heal and not be stubborn and ruin your back more!!! Let it heal!!! Sometimes a few weeks now can save you a life time of pain!! I only say this because I’ve been there and I care!!
I can say X2 on that comment..
Broken neck - fusion surgery
Broken disk in the exactly same place as Matt - replaced to a new one of titanium....
I hope you'r back pain will end.
Cheers from Northern Sweden
Yeah, don't listen to the doctor but don't come back later when the doctor says that I told you so. Back surgery is not a joke, if this gets messed up, you will definitely deal with it for the rest of your life!
He’s a Vet so he shouldn’t have gotten instructions… they should’ve just told mare to keep in a tiny cage for a month or two so that he can’t move to much.
^^^^^^THIS. THIS is the TRUTH.
Love it, don’t forget the belly rubs
Maybe also use that conical collar, just to prevent him from biting the wound
Just don't move, that is it. Bathroom, shower and that it is it.
I'm dying now...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vote: Hell no.
Matt, you're a Doctor. You know better. Don't risk your spine man. At least give it 1-2wks or something.
My vote is hell no also. Matt is a doctor and should know better. He is going to regret not listening to the doctors and his wife.
He's joking lol
A doctor...Ish. Medical people make the worst patients. The hospital will just get another $100k when they have to fix you I guess :)
He is doctor-ish.
@@MisterBoy316 They really are the worst.
Next time on off the ranch. Mere's first gun purchase is going to be a tranquilizer gun. Lol
OMG lol
Tranquilizer to stop Matt from going on a run
First gun purchase? What rock have you been hiding under? Do you actually think she's never purchased?
"Don't tell Mere" is a meme.
Tested on respectfully... whistlindeisel 👀🤷🤣
@@Not_A_Cat no, dont tell mere is law.
Never could figure out why people don’t listen to doctors. Healing time is extremely important, do what the doctors say, or risk long term problems.
Yeah I second this
Yup. One time after "surgery" the doctor (It was his intern) didn't told me about laying completely flat for 2 hours, because they «thought I already knew it so they didn't said it to me», so I didn't laid cause I didn't know. Now I have excruciating chronic pain (my backbone nerve is pinched so always activated like i have a knife through it. All day, everydays. 9/10 to 12/10 pain, 10 being the highest), been "living" (more surviving tbh) in pain for the last 5 years, can't have a job and my days and night are a nightmare, and even max doses of morphines can't do much shit. *All that because I didn't laid flat for two fucking hours.*
Be sure to know what to do and not do, and please respect it. Be safe!
In my experience, it’s also more a guy thing, especially more traditional guys. 🤷🏽♂️
its because he is a rich spoilt brat.....
I was so worried the comments would agree with Matt but I'm so so glad I'm scrolling through and only seeing comments telling Matt he's gonna screw up his back if he doesn't follow doctors orders
Matt you only have one back and you can permanently damage it if you do not rest right now! Please listen to your fans and listen to your doctors
As a board certified spinal surgeon I say, “Go for it”. Train super hard. I could really use a 3rd summer house. I’m thinking somewhere in Vale. Listen to your wife Dumbo!
This made me chuckle hahaha
All I gotta say is your a bad surgeon 🤣
Love the comment spot on
@@ipant1056 he's a great businessman though :D
There's something odd about the Doctor telling you to listen to your wife. Rather than telling you to listen to the doctor... 🤔
Someone tell Mere he's being a bad patient.
Also, the comments don't look to be going quite the way you had hoped Matt.
lol Matt thinking we'll give permission for him to run in the marathon, don't think he realizes how much we care for his wellbeing. Rest up!
Lol He doesn’t realize that we aren’t fanboys/girls. We won’t agree to what he says just cause he says it. It’s safe to say that the majority of us would act as real friends and tell him when he is wrong.
The fact mare called him gimpy tho😂
@@ryanflaim8793 that just about had me rolling in laughter.
As a physical therapist assistant, I’d try and lay as low as possible. Avoid forward flexion especially under load. Say goodbye to dead lifting for a while and even then don’t go heavy!!!
Even if Matt is joking or not, it's nice to see that the Demolitia is not taking any chances on him and is calling him out. We do care, Matt, get some rest.
dude he walked a mile after surgery - he's not joking
They aren't taking chances because they know he is not joking and is not going to listen to the doctors, he need's to be called out because there is no benefits to needing another surgery
I've always heard doctors make the WORST patients, I just didn't realize that included pet doctors.
😂 I guess doc is doc
Wild doctors and pet doctors both have the same infernal habits.
😆🤦🏼♂️
Anyone w/ medical training from an EMT allllllll the way up to a doctor. Always the worst patients….
(-a former emt who treated other medical professionals)
Think how annoyed you get when clients ignore your orders for their pets.
Matt, don’t be stupid. Do as they instruct! Or you’ll be having another back surgery. Just sayin’ I’m telling Mere
Yeah, uh, I've seen waaaaay too many people hurt themselves when recovering from surgery to agree with Matt here.
This is a super minor surgery though. Obviously he's not going to try to break his PR on a deadlift before he's healed up, but those suggestions seemed a little silly to me. Then again I'm that guy that turned 18 months of recovery after a spinal fusion into 24 because I got back on my dirt bike and mountain bikes and skis too soon.
Snitch lol
YOU DONT TELL MERE
@@elcaponeholyemperorofnj1169 if matt is going to be an idiot, Mere needs to know
MATT - I've had 6 back surgeries and I want to urge you to listen to the doctors! You're a medical professional, so I don't need to tell you that your spine is high end real estate. I had 6 surgeries because I thought I could go back to work MUCH quicker than I should have and really screwed it up. Trust me, you'll be able to get back to all the things you do, just follow the doctor's advice! Hope you recover quickly!
yeah spine hips and knees are really painfull if they crap out on you to say the least. a injury to any of those has a high chance of being disabling.
If doctors were worth listening to, you would have only had one back surgery.
@@MAGAMAN You must have misread my comment. I was told to wait 6 weeks (by my surgeon) and I returned in 2. Fucked up what had been done and ended up with 5 additional surgeries. Had I listened to the doctor, I would only have had one.
@@highkicker11 Yep. I learned the hard way. Those are things you want to make sure fully heal before you start putting any real stress back on them.
@@BoomerKeith1 yeah my right knee and left hip are f*ed up because of my accident and a nurse giving me to much morphine one night, that made me trip and i climbed out of the icu bed i was still on having been moved from icu to normal trauma care. that f*ed it up more and the nurse covered it up to safe her job and screw me up.
Don’t let Matt hurt himself.
Have him livestream games for a while.
That sounds actually really good 🤔👍🤣
He should play some Tarkov with Drew
I like your thinking it's been a while since we saw mat to stream no better time other than recovery
Gaming w donut operator!
I've had that procedure too. Take your time getting "back" to working out. Thanks for your common sense Meredith.
stop working out. just stay in shape and work hard at work. I've been a union bricklayer for 20yrs and never had any back problems or sprains. the guys with the useless gym muscles ate the worst most unreliable, injury prone workers ever. they never last a year. no 1 is impressed with muscles that don't do shit. lean and mean beat bulky and constantly injured all day. just to be vain. all these gym muscle guys are horrible workers and a joke on jobsites. no1 cares how big ur muscles are if u can't even work an 8 hr shift. sad how vain and pussified the American man has become.
How much was it I need one as well
Matt, as someone who's had herniated disc then later in life... Here comes the body's payback because I was a rough and tough horse woman, right? I didn't listen... Now I've had a laminectomy aaand that failed. Now I'm fused from L4, L5 to S1. And just to make things more interesting, now I'm having my neck giving issues, numbness in both arms. Please don't be like me. It's NOT worth it. I'm only 56 and my body is falling apart. Listen to Mere!!!!! Mere do not sign him up!! Sorry Matt, I love you too much to see you wreck yourself more. Slow and steady wins the race in this kind of race.
wow Karin, we are almost the same age. I am 57. Same injuries and did have the neck fusion. I have 3 more suspect areas, L4/5, T10/11 and C3/4
I've been ignoring the doctors or avoiding them for over 10 yrs.now its not even tolerable.i wish is did the surgery when suggested.L4 and L5 both herniated.
Karin, I'm the same age and had the same thing done at 48yrs old. I'm in agony constantly and I know what you're going through.
Karin, I do know what you're going through. I had four vertebrae in my neck fused in a reconstructive cervical spine procedure in the early 1990's. I was 48 at the time. Although it was a difficult surgery, I was able to return to work at a desk job, but doing the work I really enjoyed after a couple of months. Shortly after I returned to work, I signed up for academic classes at college, and while working full-time, and carrying 6 credit hours, I worked very hard and maintained a 4.0 GPA. I did the same thing for a few more semesters. Then, my husband, my son and I built a new house (we didn't do the building work), mostly the landscaping stuff. I have to say, the surgeon who did my reconstructive cervical spine procedure absolutely knew what he was doing. I have never had a problem with my neck, except when my aging aunt grabbed onto me and almost pulled me to the floor. I was sore and in pain for a week or so, but I've not had any further difficulty with my cervical spine.
Karin! Please read my reply to Joe crowe above. As a chronic pain sufferer it might help you
Matt as a guy in late 50’s don’t mess around with this it don’t get better! You have a young family and a way to go! Having had two L4-L5-S1 surgery’s it’s no joke now 12 years later dealing with more !
Yep being a mechanic ruined my back an i didn't listen to my doctors after the surgery an now i have more pain than ever an they cant fix it. When you're young you think you're so invincible but sadly its not the case
@@Jacobtheunwise Ain't that a shame. I hope yall find some relief in whatever way possible. I'm young, but I know better than to push it especially when I know a few dumb decisions now can result in endless consequences when I'm older.
He is literally a doctor, an animal doctor. You would think he’d know better.
Actually doctors are the worst patients. It's crazy, but they really can't stand when they are given orders on behalf of their health
was*
He does, but he just can't stop. I've been there done that so many times. It's tougher to do nothing than it is to have pain sometimes.
Doctor-ish
animal doctors don't assign therapy though
So, when Matt injures himself from disobeying the doctor's orders, he ought to have to wear a cone.
I second this. I will comment it on every video if he does.
I third this. Mare needs to be the one to put on the cone.
4th it
I am in. Should we just buy him the cone of Shame now as we all know he will be stupid.
I’d go for the shock collar. Mere, want to weigh in on this?
Mere: we'll let the demolitia decide
Matt: im actually down for that i know they'll say yes
Demolitia: yeah thats a no from us boss, now lay back down and eat your tomatoe soup
I tell the young ones "Just because you can doesn't mean you should". When you get to my age, 60 you will wish you listened when you were young and invincible. We all age and cant stop that, but you can take care of your back. Listen to the dr. and take it easy.
Your knees will have a vindictive memory too.🤨
I'm going to have side with Mere on this one Matt. We don't bounce back from injuries like we used to.
My wife didn’t listen either. Her fusion is forthcoming. Just listen to them bud.
“So you need to not do these things for a bit or you’ll make everything worse.”
“Yeah no, I’m going to ignore you because I do what I want.”
😑 Not your brightest moment
Recovering from surgery is no joke. I can attest from personal experience and from observing others, he needs to listen to his doctors and freaking settle down.
@@wallysnakes2690 I dont think that political views have anything to do with this, rather he is stubborn
I seriously hope your comments were tongue-in-cheek / just for fun. Having been an OR RN for many years, I saw my share of non-compliant patients return to the OR for repeat/more extensive surgeries. It isn't in good humor to make fun of the potential life-altering conditions that arise due to non-compliance post operatively.
So true. My disc caused complications caudia equina! Still have a dead leg in parts n defo effected loo habits (tmi but if it gets through he might just think a bit more). My pal had the same thing n list the use of her leg n is now in a wheelchair!
Very nicely stated.
I vote “NO”!! You are right Matt you do do stupid things, don’t let this one your next stupid thing. You spine is kinda important (you should know that since your a “DR”)!! Rest & heal!
dodo.... Hehe sorry
Matt, you’re a vet, you know better than this! Wise up man, you have a wife who needs you and three kids who follow your example! Follow doctors’s orders or risk spending your life as a paraplegic. Your choice.
If Matt was treating a dog with this problem, he'd put a cone on it and put it in a cage. I'm not saying Mere should do that, but she totally should.
@@redorzed I agree
100%
I’m a paraplegic myself (born one so different circumstances but still) I totally agree! It’s to bad that doctors make the worst patients. 🤣
@@redorzed I'd want videos.
Matt, I admire your determination to get back to normal. With that being said you’re going to have to start a series called Matt’s demolition wrenched my back up surgery’s. Please don’t be stupid. Take care of yourself. Even if it drives you crazy. It’s not like it’s forever.
There’s being tough, then there is being stupid.
Take care of yourself man.
He's not tough! He has the ego of a 13-year-old showing off to get laughs. However, this is NOT a laughing matter and he should grow up!
Matt what’s the point of doing the surgery if you’re going to risk your recovery by not listening to the aftercare instructions man lol. Coming from someone who has gone through something very very similar just listen man. Wishing you a speedy recovery Matt
Legit it makes me angry. That time they give is the minimum for him to heal. I didn't listen to my doctor after my back surgery an i had to have 2 more an now my back feels worse than ever
i like how at the end he's all "the demolitia will side with me", but the comments are overwhelmingly "listen to your wife and doctor, dum dum" lol
Yep, Matt's wrong on this 100%!
That's us truly siding with him, his health, and his family :D
Those are not really demolitia.
The problem is we care too much lol its all fun and games till your boy goes down, now its carry him out of the shit intact time.
Had an open procedure, discectomy and fusion. You really don't want to go there. Be good for at least 2 weeks. You should be able to get up and walk, they had me up and walking maybe 12 hours after surgery and criteria for discharge included being able to manage stairs and walk the entire unit. Behave yourself - you don't want to mess this up and have a second procedure!
I'm with Mere on this Matt, listen to the doctors and more importantly, LISTEN TO YOUR WIFE! We want you back to 100% and that takes time! God bless!
Matt, seriously take it easy brother, we all think we're stronger and tougher than we actually are, you need time to heal up, listen to the doctors advice, it's better to be safe than sorry!
Fun fact you watched the new Josh Turner Your Man music video.
@@karstensebastian7598 correct!
As an avid fan in his mid 30s suffering from back pain and can't afford the surgery you had. I want to be so angry at Matt. He can have the pain free life i want but is just fucking throwing it away because he feels less of a man by not working out.
Careful with the back Matt. I had my first back surgery just over ten years ago. Almost eight later and I'm told I'll have chronic pain the rest of my life. Rest easy, wish you all the best.
Been dealing with a L5-s1 herniation/ bulging for 1.5 years. Horrible sciatica pain. Saw 3 doctors and they wanted me to wait and see if it would heal on its own since I’m 25. I can say I’m back to walking for workouts and symptoms have improved greatly. I may have lost the last year and mostly did nothing but worked in the office. But I’m glad I opted for no surgery and went the natural route with therapy, walking and diet. All I can tell you is don’t f*** with back issues. Listen to your doctor. It’s not manly to not listen to the doctor and further ruin your back. Take it easy
Matt, if you keep disobeying your doctor, I'm telling Mere. This is for your own good.
She already knows everything
@@comfortablynumb9342 exactly, hence that pink raptor time
She knows everything tho
Bro she probably has RUclips too it’s just a stage thing 🙂
@@christianmendoza8543 she actually doesn't really watch his videos, especially demo videos. And the OffTheRanch ones ? She IS in the videos, it's like actors watching thsir movies
This is the one time we'll actually tell Mere - listen to the docs, especially if involves your spine/back and extra especially if it's your lower back. Call it a vacation.
Best of luck Matt , I've had a back injury for the last 37 years broke L4 and L5 and a hip , took me 2 years to get walking again . Was life changing but lots of prayers and help from a wonderful wife ( she stuck it out 44 years plus ) I still have numbness in mostly the left leg . Again wish you the best
You should have just put a thumb in it. Just saying 🤷♂️
Huh it's been so long and nobody's seen this comment yet?
😂😂😂
Nice 😂
Matt don’t be stubborn listen to those instructions
Matt couldn’t be anymore wrong. We all agree with you mere, HE NEEDS REST😂
He's saying in 5 months
Matt, You are stupid for not following doctors orders. You are a vet--how would you feel if owners did not follow post op instructions for pets? Take it from someone who suffers from chronic back pain from inoperable spinal cord compression, you are lucky that you could have surgery. When you get older, you will suffer the effects of not following doctors orders.
@@maryeldridge643 comment this in the main comments and not as a reply , there is more chance he will see it
@@gru6y17 Sorry, I don't post very often unless it is something that really upsets me. I'll try to find the main comments to post. Thanks
@@maryeldridge643 he said he was going to tell the doctors that. I've had three major orthopedic surgeries. Two of them I followed instructions completely. The third I did not, I kept moving my ankle immediately after the surgery, started riding my bike and walking early and so on. I told the doctors this, they were helpful as long as I communicated. The ankle healed the best and I didn't need physical therapy because I moved it the whole time and started rebuilding strength before it was too weak. Starting activity once I felt ready, rather than waiting that whole amount of time was the best decision I made regarding any of my surgeries. Although he may be pushing too hard, and he definitely needs to stay our of the water for that month or he may get a major infection
Matt coming back to the doctor: "doc I rested for 8 weeks, the surgery didn't work I promise
Doc is like "bro, I'm subscribed to off the ranch, busted"
Ha, That's gold Bruno, Gold !!
Matt you’re acting like a child. Listen to your doctor and rest up
he’s not being serious
let the man be he will learn
@@thatranger92 sadly if he doent want to learn from us who have prior intensieve expensive experience with these kind of things he will learn the hard and painfull way for the rest of his life. also his wife is like us very experienced with back injuries and pain.
@@crazysilly2914 the problem is that some of his viewers who are young, impressionable and worship him many not realize he is kidding.
@@sjbock eh, people under 18 probably don’t watch this channel...
Matt: "I know they're gonna vote yes"
Everyone in the comments: "You're an idiot, listen to the doctor."
little more along the lines of dont be an idiot in my mind but that's just me splitting hairs.
Seriously, take it easy. Jack this up and you'll be going back for worse surgery. It's worth taking 4-8 weeks to heal correctly.
OffTheRanch take it easy man. I’ve had 2 of those surgeries from and injury at work and I’m still fighting pain and mobility every day. I had them a year and a half a part and I struggle every day to go to work and help my wife around the house with our kids because I didn’t take it easy. Hope for a fast recovery.
Hey Matt and anyone else interested! There is no spinal "cord" at L5-S1. The cord ends at T12-L1 for most adults and below that are just nerve roots floating around as they exit at their respective levels. Disc herniations at that level are almost always eccentric to one side or the other, in your case it sounds like to your left, and compress the nerve root as they pass through the neuroforamina. In practice, your body will slowly resorb the herniated disc, but having symptoms such as numbness or weakness usually means it should be removed surgically before any lasting damage to the nerve root is done.
Signed- a radiologist who got a little too excited seeing an MRI in one of your videos!
When the video is made for you
This is what I had, to my right side as I lost feeling down my right leg
Literally everyone ripping Matt for not listening to his doctor 😂😂
We aren’t ripping him, but the doctors are the ones tying to protect his back and allow it to fully recover. He won’t regret it afterwards
That's isn't funny. Don't use 😂 in a situation like this
Well iv had two in 10 years this time they fused my l4 and l5 cause I did listen the first time now i have 4. Screws and two rods and 12 weeks of recovery
@@timothylaurent5456 dang. I wish you a speedy recovery
Matt wisen up bud. This ain’t going to end well for you when you’re older man. Take care of yourself. Not cool!
It’ll end up the same as every other old guy. In pain. Whether you take care or not, you aren’t feeling good in old age. He’ll be better off than the rest of us
I had the same procedure several years ago Matt. You take care of your self cause back pain is the gift that keeps on giving.
I almost choked when Matt said "I AM a Doctor" and Mere said "No you're not".......the savagery is insane. lol Also, don't push it, take the proper time to heal, you only get one back trust me.
His ego is too big
@@billgreen6792 I don't know if it's ego, I honestly think he NEEDS to be busy doing stuff. He knows the recovery times, and the consequences, just too stubborn and needs keep himself moving.
@@ferfin2 I definitely agree, Josh!
(Stfu Bill)
All those years of carrying the gun Community on his shoulders caught up to him
Gold😂
Lol
Rofl
Dude. He has been awesome and I love his channel, but guy has done nada for the 2A community.
I love Matt and his family but seriously, he does nothing for the industry our gun owners. I totally understand. He stays out of the politics for his business. If he were more active in the fight for gun rights preservation RUclips would ruin him. Like they do most of the gun channels.
For the love of god matt do as docs say, I was like you army vet didn't listen, worked out did normal stuff ended up have to have spinal fusion and have been in constant pain for 5y now, take it easy brother
yeah my mom fucked her back up going on 10 years ago and needed a spinal fusion. she still takes 800 mg ibuprofen for back pain almost daily. there are some days she has to call in sick to work cuz she can hardly walk without holding back tears from pain. they dont happen often anymore but still do. also thank you for your service. we salute you soldier.
Matt leaving the surgery "thanks for operating me, I love you and I'll see you next time"
Doc is like: "wtf? Next time?"
Matt: the fans will vote yes
Demolitia: nope with Mere on this one
Matt in four weeks: "Im having back surgery AGAIN!"
Matt in three weeks: “I got a bacteria infection at my surgery site from swimming in the river”
Good Luck @Baylor Johnson
Ronnie Coleman style
I wish him NOT. He’ll be ok.🤔
Let's hope not
As someone with back issues from the Marine Corps, sit this one out. We vote no for Matt to be signed up.
Let me guess. Situps destroyed your lower back.
@@t.regnerus301 wtf are you talking about? Sure sit ups got his back.....
As someone else who has HAD back surgery almost 1 1/2 years ago and I STILL don't have full capabilities yet, NO MATT.
Real bummer watching this from the outside, saw my father in law come out worse after the surgery because of this mentality.
Definitely set it out and allow it to heal . I suffered from back injury during the army well over 45 years ago . And since the VA couldn't or wouldn't do anything about it. I finally received spinal cord surgery last year. Still need more ,but feeling much better. So don't be proud and foolish. Listen to the doctors following there advice. You don't want to undo what good the doctor fixed . Take care of yourself young man . If you cant take care of yourself. You can't take care of your family . ( Think about it ) And no marathons !
Glad your surgery went well definitely take your time getting back into things. I got in a really bad motorcycle accident six years ago about a year to get back into it I’ve been going strong ever cents. Love the videos!!!! Keep up the great content.
As an engineer and not a "doctor", I'm siding with Mere.
Principles cross over through booth professions.
Kick his ass if he doesn't behave Mere. Imagine not being able to pick up your kids if they fall or get hurt, so take it easy Matt, you've only got one back.
Ha, maybe kick him somewhere further away from the incision, eh Mere?
Haha, so if you told someone "hey, these are the instructions on how to take care of your pet after surgery. Do this, because it matters." And then they said all the things you've said........
Take it easy cowboy, you have years and years to go. Everyone thats been through what you have AND lived into their 70s AND ignored doctors advise typically have many more surgeries AND regret the hell out of being foolish when younger.
Imagine your worst day with no possiblity of help.
Listen to your wise Mare.
I think Matt should sit this marathon out just so everyone has a chance to win
Matt, Mere is a smart woman. You should listen to her. It is also your spine, a very important part of your body. Be careful man
Matt, you better be getting after that physical therapy! I severed 82% of my spinal cord in 2004. I had to learn to walk a second time. I have hooks and rods all along my T-spine. Today, ON MY FEET! Get after it!
I had my spine fused in 2004, and it turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life. Total bummer. Hope you heal quickly!
You can’t “tough guy” back surgery recovery. Been there done that. Ignore instructions and you’ll be back for surgery number 2 in no time. I’m 4 years out of my L5-S1 microdiscectomy and still not 100%. Never will be. You can stay fit but deadlifts and heavy overheads are a thing of the past. Do what your docs say dude.
Oddly enough, 3 years after my discectomy (wish they had done the micro, but no go for me apparently), deadlifts are one of the only things that actually relieves my lingering back pain...Heavy heavy overheads are something I haven't even attempted since the surgery. Light(er) overheads are still fine. But, yeah, just wanted to say that, A) I feel you bro, B) deadlifts help me, C) LISTEN TO YOUR DAMN DOCTOR!
For being a veterinarian you’re pretty irresponsible not listening to another doctor who specializes in their field. I’m in my early 30s and i have congenital back issues and I’m constantly in pain. And I’m going to need surgery as well. I HATE being in pain 24/7. Don’t be stupid bro.
its more that active people tend to bend the rules even when they know it could be bad
@@Theanimeisforme I stopped messing around and mostly listening to docs now since I'll be 25 this year and I'm already dealing with lots of pain from random things
Same
@@Theanimeisforme people who work in healthcare tend to bend the rules as it is. Doctors and nurses make the worst patients. But the doctors who specializes in their field have seen results and complications in their career, so they know what they are talking about based on their experience, they’re called orders not recommendations. I wouldn’t consider his surgery “minor”, and with any surgery that involves some form of incisions, will come inflammation, bleeding and risk of infection. I’m sorry for venting. I’m a nurse and it really irritates me when a patient comes back to the hospital for being noncompliant with their treatment. They get no sympathy from me
Yes!
Ok Matt, when you’re laying there in bed trying to make bargains with God for just 20-30 seconds of relief, remember how confident you were that you could handle the unknown misery you were gambling with. When you’re on your hands and knees trying to get to the bathroom but have to climb over the edge of the tub because you can’t get on the toilet,open the fridge door but everything is too high on the shelf, when you can’t roll over in bed, are stuck, because the pain is beyond overcoming and you have to wait for someone to help you, when every heartbeat and breath is excruciating and sleep is only drug induced and you wished you hadn’t tried to get you life back to normal before you could fully heal. Remember that. Don’t F around with your spine. You only have one and it has to last you a lifetime.
You said it better than I did. Sounds like your living the dream also!
Damn Dude, You got it Spot On!! I've been thru All of those Scenarios and Still deal with quite a few of them myself.
yeah ive seen forehand what it does , my dad broke his back in 7 places when he was 16 , he had to get on top of the pain all the time untill he took too much morphine and it stopped his heart
@@M4A1_DELTA6 morphine and other opioids are no joke. I had family members who were hooked. No one died though, sorry for your loss.
@@derekhall2079 yes i do agree and thank you
Hey Matt, I had the same surgery to two of my disks in my lower back, but I was 24 when I had the surgery. I want to say the exact same one as yours and the one above. My pain and numbness was in my right leg. I didn't think I needed to rest or not do anything like the doctor said and it's now been over a year and the numbness is now permanent in my right leg because of nerve damage. Love the videos
Also: I'd vote no to the marathon and I think it would be amazing if the majority of the Demolitia backed Mere on this one. That would be a massive show of love towards both of you.
Mat come on guy don't be a kid listen to your doctor's otherwise it won't get better they know what they do and they have a reason for recommending those things.
Edit: Oh and don't forget the medical costs.
Watching Demo/Offthe ranch for the last 5 years, Matt needing back surgery is about the least surprising thing that's happened.
Matt, those instructions are there for a reason!
You need to let your body HEAL!
You will only cause yourself more pain and more problems if you dont follow them.
As someone who had to help a family member after multiple back surgeries listen to you doc and wife and take it easy unless you want the next surgery to be putting a bird cage in your back
Today on demolition ranch;
Mere: ok guys let's c how many tranquilizer does it takes to keep Matt in bed
Under-rated comment lmao
@@Chrisman622 Yeah this should be top comment
Why is this not at the top? I can’t breath I’m laughing so hard!
LOL, this is gold... to the moon!
Listen to everybody else in the comment section... If you were being serious about not resting properly then you should really reconsider your choices. A few months of rest isn't going to ruin your life, but if you end up screwing up you back will.
Matt? You're a Veterinarian, right? How do you feel when the owners of your patients ignore your instructions for the best method of recovery? This is the same situation.
Matt as someone who has had several major surgeries, listen to the doctors. I’m very active, used to play football. I tore both of my shoulders, didn’t listen the first time and ended up retesting and needing another surgery. Just wait the 8 weeks, it’s worth it. Second, and third, surgery I listened and my shoulders are better than ever.
Matt: the fans will vote yes
Fans: Its a nope from us dawg
I had my first spinal fussion in 1971, hammers and chisels are what they used. Thank God they have microsurgery now. I hope and pray for a speedy recovery for you. T-2 TO T12, Then second surgery L1 to L7, Herniated, not fun. Glad to hear you are doing better.
Matt: “I hurt my back because I do dumb stuff.” Also Matt: “I’m not listening to anything the doctor says.”
And he's a vet so I'm sure he gets mad when people don't follow his exact medical advice for their pets.
He is so ignorant, Jesus!
Describing every man ever
@@coke383 facts! Not saying I’m any better 😜
He's a vet basically a doctor 😄
Hey Matt! I actually had the same exact surgery at 23 years old. L5-S1. Coming up on 2 years since I’ve had the surgery and I am SO glad I got it done. Please pleaseeee take it easy and take this time to rest. Reherniation rate is fairly low, but it can and will happen if you push it too hard. Stay safe and take care!
Matt: "Do something today that makes you better tomorrow than you were yesterday."
Also Matt: risks making a back injury worse
Doctor: Don't do these things
Matt: Yeah thats not going to work
Matt in 3 months: So for some crazy reason my back is worse than ever now I have to do a major surgery.
