    Thank You Doctor. Listening to you, explain what is Arthritis made me feel a lot better. My pain started 18 months ago and I am 76yrs. Listening to your advice to keep active is the best advise for me. I swim, walk, exercise before I get out of bed and even in the afternoon, I also go to an acupuncture, after doing all that the stiffness doesn't go away. I am learning to accept it and move on, otherwise I am going to be miserable all my life.

    I have to say that surgeons have really screwed up people with this new nano particle concoction. They dont tell you that it can grow and spread, covering nerves, tissue, and has led to deaths due to suffocation. It also increases your risk of cancer by a whopping 25%. Think twice. It really doesn't speed up healing or give a guarantee of successful fusion. Do your own research. Look at the ongoing lawsuits. Sincerely, a BMP patient.

    I had symptoms of AS, and pain my entire life. Unfortunately, I was an ignored kid, so I never looked for medical diagnosis. Two years ago, an injury to my hips (SI) had me seeking answers for my everywhere pain, and developing drop foot in both feet.I had to beg a doctor to order an MRI of my hips. The diagnosis was in that MRI, a year ago. I found out from my insurance company a MONTH ago. I have been ghosted and Gas lit by a HUGE Medical community. I may be in a wheelchair, soon. NSAIDs are not helping me anymore.... not sure if it ever did. Having a had time getting ANY doctor to treat my pain management...

    Hello. I am a chronic pain sufferer and I use cannabis to relive the symptoms. I have been suffering for decades and the pain has become so profound that I have had to stop working. However, the cost of medication is still significant, and I'm attempting to reduce some subsidies to accommodate the cost, as these are "out of pocket" expenses. I have been asked to obtain a letter from my healthcare provider indicating support for the use of THC to control pain, as medical and recreational marijuana are legal in my state. I inquired with my traditional PC and the request was denied, because they said they didn't provide the prescription for medical marijuana. That's true. The prescription was provided by a Marijuana doctor. I inquired for support from this doctor and I got a standard form letter, offering some support. I am looking to obtain a stronger provider letter that will specifically support the use of cannabis to control pain. How can I do this?

    I had a 3 level lower lumbar disc replacements on May 7 by Dr Johnson of Idaho Falls ID. On may 7 before surgery i entered the Idaho Falls community relying heavily on my walker in intolerable pain in my legs my nerves compressed and damaged. I decided maybe I could take two more weeks. As the Dr said I was to the point where the quality of life “was not worth living any more”. My insurance had already approved a fusion in CA where I live. Research led me to artificial discs. 4 hours after my surgery, I sold straight and walked without that hell pain. Truly life saving for me and a miracle. It was worth every penny and I was lucky enough to have a retirement account. I just did an hour on the treadmill. Better every day. If you need it don’t wait, just do it. Feel free to contact me.

    If you just start stuffing your face with different pharmaceuticals you'll get less side effects. Maybe throw in some covid vacts with some boosters. That's why Pfizer's introducing a new one of a kind burrito. It consists of a tortilla wrapped around some of the most classic and iconic prescriptions out there. We got your blood pressure medicine, pills for your joints, memory loss, do you have Crohn's disease? There's a pill in there for you too, have acid reflux, digestion issues, kidney failure, scoliosis, Puberty blockers. All the pills are in there. If your cat person, dog person, if you prefer wheat bread over white or even white bread over wheat, hell even if your favorite color is blue are you wear your hat backwards we have pills for you in there.. We got 87 different pills in there can we top it off with a queso and carne sauce. Here comes with a medium fountain drink. Are drink options are covid vaccine, we got your booster, tetanus shot and rabies shot along with many other refreshing options. Coming secretly are monkey pocks in bird flu vaccines for the world economic forms next PLANdemic

    I thought the pain I've had in my lower back for a while was just a disc or something but the last few months I've had more than a few instances where all the sudden I'm doubled over in horrible pain for 10 mins and nothing helps. It starts in my back and radiates towards my abdomen. Intense pain kinda stabbing-like but idk and idk where exactly it comes from either but it reoccurs at least once every other week or so

    You are promoting intractable pain akin to torturing your patients. You have no idea, first hand how chronic pain can literally stop you in your tracks as it has done to me. I spend most of everyday in bed. I have tried every, and I mean every non-opioid therapy and they did not work. You are doing nothing more than causing fear and stigmatism amongst the chronic pain community. This the most unscientific and insufficient video that I have seen to date. You want to take your patient off of opioids prior to surgery? Are you kidding me? I feel like you are all going mad. In 10 20 years, I have absolutely no doubt that the medical community will look back at this as absolutely horrible period in medical history and ask what were they thinking? I don't want to be a guinea pig. Shame on you all.

    @2:16 Let me tell you what’s “uncool” Doc…. Taking a knife to your patient & only giving the patient NSAIDs in (lieu of tried & true opioids)which can induce/increase bleeding! This is what happened to me for several days until SOMEONE realized how serious this was. It’s astonishing to me how patient history (history of stomach ulcers for ex.) is being thrown out the window. We are slowly going to become an anti-surgery country instead of an anti opioid country! Everyone is experiencing this lunacy now.

If could have had the awareness i do now, i think the progression into several herniations could have been derailed 30 yrs ago! Thats how long this train has been coming. Not for me not trying to get help when things started changing in other parts of MY CONNECTED BODY, but i wasnt “sick” or “visibly injured” yet. 2nd herniation, pain dr showed me my mri and the fatty infiltrates in the muscle and the whole brain lit up. still categorized by my pcp as his words” perfectly healthy”. nope, whats happening inside me just hasnt manifested into a lab result worthy of tx. THANKING GOD for all the gaslighting, horrible pain, and just other weird divine interventions that kept me from further modern med interventions and drugs. I now believe the 2nd half is going to be greater than the first. I had to dig my own self out of the woods to find a pathway towards holistic wellbeing. Prayers for humans to find their way. 👣🌈🦋

    I’m a 68yo female, living in Fort Worth, Texas. A few months ago I heard a comment about the LIFTMOR Study and immediately started researching on line and found some videos of the Bone Clinic, and Dr. Beck and the amazing results they were achieving. I knew immediately I wanted to embark on this journey. After identifying the specific exercises, and protocol for the program, I started the program myself after getting a green light from my orthopedic doctor and partnering up with a personal trainer who I educated about the exercises, standards, and goals of the program. He is keeping me in good form! I was also able to get an x-ray of my Cobb angle and will be getting current DEXA scan…both as baseline scores. I am hungry for any additional information about the program as I can be privy to. Things such as nutritional guidelines, additional exercises, etc. I just don’t know how to contact the Bone Clinic as a non-patient, and if they are willing to share more of their protocols. I’ve heard this program is being rolled out all across Australia and wish so much, that could happen here in the US. If you can share any link or way I can get new info, newsletters, Q and A’s etc, it would be greatly appreciated. You guys are doing marvelous things. Thank you for turning my health around. Right now I’m dead-lifting 55lbs, having started at 25. But it’s onwards and upwards for me, thanks to you! NOTE: I started my own program, February 2024

    I am 71 years old i have known that have scoliosis and never was told they could help me. And now pain and the curve is affecting my whole live. I had been going to a pain doctor for a steroid shot in my lower back pain which i didn't feel any relief from the injection last September. I contact the doctor that could he order a xray to check how my back is getting worse. I always had pain below my left breast that that goes to my back. I was disappointed cause they send the mri to a orthopedic doctor he said it wasn't so bad to have surgery. I really want to know how could get pain relief. And about the scoliosis i couldn't get surgery cause my age. He said i could get you appointment with the scoliosis dr. But he said my pain Doctor knows what to . He is good doctor. I feel like neither doctor care about my pain and since i am old i need keep in pain. I feel alive I retired and i love to be active, love to dance, cooking. I don't see to get my help from the doctors that need to help me.

    Great conversation. I urge everyone (and remind myself) to join a support group because those are the only people who truly know what this disease is like. I call it a "You Look Fine" disease because all the nasty stuff happens on the inside. Except for uveitis, which I thought was pink eye when I first got it. It's how I was diagnosed. My amazing GP took one look in my eye, got a grim look on his face, and then put me in a cab to the ophthalmologist where the eye guy listed all my symptoms without even examining me. Do you have this? Yup. How about that and that? Yup and another yup. How does this eye doctor know about my back? He then decided to tell me a story about his colleague with AS who was a neurologist. "Was" is the operative word there because he slipped on the ice and broke his fragile neck. "OK Doc, I said. No slipping on ice, although this is Chicago. Lots of ice here." He also said not to get in any bar fights, which is good advice in general. They don't call it brittle spine disease for nothing. It's a wicked, lonely disease that can steal the goodness from your life. I've had it for 40 years. I got the gene. My uncle had it. Your job is to do whatever you can to hold on to as much of your life's goodness as you can. You're gonna need a lot of help with that or the pain and disability and your own depression will eat it all up. You have to get creative when coping with a life sentence. My uncle died at 87 and I'm still here at 66. There were times when I didn't want to be, but that's where the help comes in. In my case, I have very little pain now with my treatment and the fact that the disease kind of simmers down starting in your 50s, which is something I read when I was diagnosed and found it to be true. Fatigue is another story. That's the tough one because it shuts your life down. Everybody is different but we are all in this together. I have wisdom and a perspective on the illness that should be shared with others. So does everyone who gets this awful thing. That's what support groups are for.

    I would like to see Dr. Shaffrey. I'm near NC Duke. I need a 3rd opinion. 2 Hemvertebrae in the lumbar region with 51 degrees at top and 36 at bottom with 1st hemivertebrae around L1 or 2 and the 2nd L4 or 5. I have one opinion saying fuse my spine in situ and leave my curve at 51 degrees at the top and 36 at the bottom and clean up the stenosis. The other wants to do osteotomy and straighten it up as much as possible. I have no idea what to do!! I'm just sick of laying in the bed at 57 years of age!! Can't even hardly leave the house because I may have to lay down.☹😤😢

    Chips, sodas, candies, cookies and other high carbohydrate and sugary items are good to limit or avoid altogether right along with most of the ultra processed foods. We are conditioned to neglect our bodies. Perhaps if we really valued our health so much of what we experience would be avoided or reduced considerably. But, that makes lots of money for those manipulating and exploiting us. My surgeon said my healing was among the best that he's witnessed. It probably had a lot to my being committed to surgery being successful. Eat well, get adequate rest, walk and do the exercises. Of course, as I'm sometimes reminded, I'm not a physician. 😮
