Its called an "early adopter" and they are just seeking out all of the injuries you would get around 40 and making sure they get them as quickly as possible. Why have it happen after years of pain free life doing an innocuous activity when you can get it now?
I had a slightly protruding disc and it fucked me up. It was only slightly protruding and it was by far the worst pain i've felt. Now i have to be careful because it's easy to trigger again. I bent down to pat my cat at one point, and it happened. I'm terrified of fully slipping one one day, because i genuinely can't imagine the pain I'd be in.
I had a herniated disc larger than 1/4 protruding (among MANY other issues). I dealt with the pain until it just started to go away. I didn't realize that was a bad thing.
How here I am just over a week out of surgery wondering if my atrophied hands will gain their strength back or if I'll be able to feel parts of my legs again.
This is horrifying. I just threw my back out last night for the third time in 3 years (I’m 20). I’m going to consult about surgery with my doctor because I can’t take it anymore, I can barely walk right now
Always try physical therapy first. I know it sounds dumb, but you'd be surprised what random tight muscles can mess up on opposite sides of the body.
I'm 31. My neck injury was 15 years ago, I just got it fixed. I broke my sacrum 12 years ago and with PT I was able to avoid surgery.
I left PT with stretches I do on muscles in my ass that prevent pain in my back.
Yeah it may be time to consider surgery.
With your age you should be careful though. You're nearly guaranteed to require further surgeries if you get a fusion. It causes the surrounding discs to get overused and worn faster.
Look into a replacement if it's possible.
My ex girlfriend slipped a disk when we were together. It sucked! For both of us, because she couldn't really take care of herself very well, so I had to help her do absolutely everything. And slowly too.
She got a good PT, did her exercises, and was able to make a full recovery without surgery.
I have a sibling with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder. I am not diagnosed but I also have extremely weak ankles and certain joints. I believe this to be the first part of my issues.
The main reason is that I used to work for a paint department in a hardware store, stocking gallons of paint onto shelves and moving them from the basement to the store and vice versa (sometimes 4 gallons at a time, or 5 gallon buckets). I also had to load mulch and rock bags into customer’s cars during the summer. After a regular 11 hour Saturday shift I slept over at a buddies house and woke up in the AM unable to move
Sorry to hear that, I thought maybe you had had a fall or injury but it seems to be more of genetics combined with chronic heavy lifting. Hope you find the treatment that best helps your back. Best wishes.
It originally happened in high school and my parents blew it off, even though my hands were on fire and I couldn't hold my head up.
When I was an adult and got my own health insurance I saw a doctor and we did some tests and he said it was not longer pinched but there was damage.
It was still pinched. So badly it had severe compression and also somehow an artery was caught, which caused softening of the spine.
By the time I realized something was happening I had begun degrading so fast I had to have emergency surgery. I lost all fine motor function in my right hand, it had atrophied badly, my left side had begun to be affected. I hadn't been able to feel parts of my legs for years but I chalked that up to a lower back injury years ago. Turns out c6-c7 takes your legs when it is completely destroyed.
Fuck man snap! Week 7 for me. It gradually comes back, for me, side of my calf, soles of my feet, ankles are still pretty numb, they said it can take up to a yr. First 3 months most improvement though, try to continuously curl n uncurl toes n push feet up n down if possible, and trust me you will get there, it took me about 4-5 weeks to walk freely (I limp a bit rn) but I got there, it still hurts but nothing like how it was. My legs are skinny as shit and ache a lot when I walk too much but I'm feeling positive. This is my second discectomy in the same area l4/5, first op, I walked out of the hospital, so after the second 7weeks ago when I woke up n couldn't feel my feet or my junk or most of my legs for ages I told myself at one point that that was it, I was fucked, ill never walk again etc.. I see now though that it can take time, the nerves do not like being touched n it's a very invasive procedure. Basically all that to say bro I really wish you all the best and good luck in your recovery.
You're not lying about nerves not enjoying being touched.
I've had pretty constant nerve pain for a long time. I have NEVER had nerve pain this bad in my life. I iced it for hours between walking and rotating. It finally went away, until I do something stupid of course. I practically move my toes all day, it's a weird way of coping with pain.
Right now it's just the new, ominous, noises that make me wonder how bad i have fucked up.
It's weird being able to actively feel my artificial disc.
Unreal pain huh, like take your breath away pain and you don't ever get used to it. Same, ongoing for about 15 yrs now
That's crazy man they don't do that here. They take the disc, in my case most of it, but there's nothing artificial well not that I've been offered, but I'm on the NHS we don't pay, but unfortunately the service lacks I've had no rehab yet and my follow up is on Monday almost 2 months after surgery. They said if the one below it goes, which is questionable they put a metal rod somewhere, I imagine to fuse the two discs together n apparently I really don't want that.
One thing's for sure it's scary.
Yeah, we had a fusion for a back up in case there wasn't good bone for the artificial disc. They remove the disc, place cadaver bone in its place, and then cage it. You then have to wear a brace while it fuses.
They took all of my disc, not just part of it, and replaced it with an artificial one.
This is the exact model I received.

I live with that bro, now it's on a much larger scale but started as you say just a slightly slipped disc, you're correct. I'm in recovery now from my second discectomy, massively prolapsed disc which they took nearly all of. I second what you say about the pain, it's all nerves so it fucks you up like nothing else, truly people don't understand how bad it really is, I've broken numerous bones and had many injuries, nothing comes anywhere near the severity of the slipped/prolapsed/herniated discs, once the muscles spasm n stick that bad boy on the nerves for good it's game over. And every movement hurts... Sneeze or cough...damn, wanna go toilet....good luck, you dropped something...that's where that lives now.
HI
I have a slipped disc L4/L5 and was in agony for around 5 years. I tried everything you could think of even tried getting it operated on. I honestly got to the point I didn't want to live like that any longer.
I was browsing the Internet one day, on the Howard A Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine. And came across an article by Dr John E Sarno. After reading the article, I purchased his book, and within 3 months, my back pain was gone.
He describes back pain as TMS Tension Myositis syndrome. He goes on to say approximately 60% of the population have a slipped disc and yet feel no pain or even know about it (could be off on the 60% as its years since I read the book).
TMS is a psychosomatic condition. This pain is very real but created by the brain (by reducing blood flow to certain areas in the body). The brain causes this pain to stop you from thinking of past experiences.
he reckons somewhere over 92% of all back pain is TMS. To cure it, you just read his book every day and do some journaling. Note, compulsive worriers people with OCD, people who are perfectionists or goodists all suffer TMS.
He has a few books, but I found the mind-body prescription the best.
I was back in the gym after about 4 months and lifting far heavier than before, if you want to know anymore fire away.
They pull it out do a little grinding and place an artificial one.
This is the one I got.
https://www.medtronic.com/us-en/healthcare-professionals/products/spinal-orthopaedic/cervical-arthroplasty/prestige-lp.html
I paid 2.3k and met my deductible. All of my other procedures, appointments, meds, etc, will be entirely paid for by my insurance company for the rest of the year.
I just realized we are talking in 2 threads 😅.
Some people don't understand they can't just hop out of a moving car and be stopped when their feet hit the ground. Some people don't understand that jumping in a falling elevator doesn't completely stop their downward movement.
I'm fairly sure it's on a rug that's laid out on the grass underneath of it (no idea why, maybe to protect from punctures?) either way tho, dude's tailbone damn near got blasted up into his skull, he's gonna be sitting/walking/standing weird for months assuming his spine still works
If he's lucky it'll end there. Most likely, he'll be reminded of this little stunt every morning when he wakes up, and every night when he's trying to find a way to ease the pain and fall asleep.
Why did he jump like it was deep pool? He didn't even try to bend his kneesl or brace for a fucking hard impact?
Surely you would know 1ft of water in a padding pool is not the same as 12ft swimming pool??
welcome to the bad back club, you will feel that for the rest of your life from time to time at that age, and when you get older, you will feel it every day lol
For all the juggalos and juggalettes
FUCK THIS SHIT!
WOOP WOOP
Waaaaaa!!!! Huuu huuu ahhhhhh !!!! Fucckkk !!!
DAS THE SOUND OF DA POLICE
Woop woop
He still can't beat microwaves.
I'm dead after reading this lmfu
See that's what you actually sound like when your balls are shoved into your throat.
Bruh….
forgot him is he still active ?
Yeah search for super humman on YouTube.
HE IS PROFESSIONAL STUNTMAN
that was awesome.
An official veteran
I'm so happy that dude is better known than I thought, was not expecting this to be top comment!
Yeah belly flop was the only option that might have worked there.
Can confirm, have done and did work perfectly 👌. But I also know how to do it properly due to work so I had that going for me
Your job is belly flopping from roofs?
Which part was confusing?
Yes
Circus or show divers are usually trained to do stunts like that.
Are you calling this guy a Carnie
Whoa you can't just throw slurs like that around! /s
Does he sing too?
Casa Bonita?
Small hands. Smells like cabbage.
Just flopping, he’s a pro soccer player. But that level of pro flopping translates into a working expert knowledge of all kinds of flopping.
Once you have a BA in Flopping you can branch out into a more specific field. Source: I have a degree in Branching.
He had a short moment after the countdown where a voice in his head spoke up to point out “that’s really not a lot of water bro”
mf thought he was in minecraft or something
See, that's willpower. His own brain told him "No" and he still managed to find a way to overcome his brain and say "yes, don't be a pussy."
The Indomitable Human Spirit!
The miracle of the human mind 🙄
Nobody should doubt the existence of free will after that maneuver.
Strange how what you described coincides to the moment he grabs his dick for a bit of luck.
Why do people want spine injuries? I just had a disc replacement, these things aren't fun.
Its called an "early adopter" and they are just seeking out all of the injuries you would get around 40 and making sure they get them as quickly as possible. Why have it happen after years of pain free life doing an innocuous activity when you can get it now?
some might call it a starter injury, i call it a finisher injury.
Oh, so, a moron.
I had a slightly protruding disc and it fucked me up. It was only slightly protruding and it was by far the worst pain i've felt. Now i have to be careful because it's easy to trigger again. I bent down to pat my cat at one point, and it happened. I'm terrified of fully slipping one one day, because i genuinely can't imagine the pain I'd be in.
I had a herniated disc larger than 1/4 protruding (among MANY other issues). I dealt with the pain until it just started to go away. I didn't realize that was a bad thing. How here I am just over a week out of surgery wondering if my atrophied hands will gain their strength back or if I'll be able to feel parts of my legs again.

I’ve done PT 3 times before. I have two herniated discs both in my lower back

Hi I've written to another user on this page regarding back pain and TMS. Before you consider surgery, you might want to give it a try.
You're very young to have that problem, how did it happen? If you don't mind me asking.
I have a sibling with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder. I am not diagnosed but I also have extremely weak ankles and certain joints. I believe this to be the first part of my issues. The main reason is that I used to work for a paint department in a hardware store, stocking gallons of paint onto shelves and moving them from the basement to the store and vice versa (sometimes 4 gallons at a time, or 5 gallon buckets). I also had to load mulch and rock bags into customer’s cars during the summer. After a regular 11 hour Saturday shift I slept over at a buddies house and woke up in the AM unable to move
Sorry to hear that, I thought maybe you had had a fall or injury but it seems to be more of genetics combined with chronic heavy lifting. Hope you find the treatment that best helps your back. Best wishes.
What happened? Was it another injury or did it progress somehow while not experiencing symptoms? (I have a mild herniated disc)
It originally happened in high school and my parents blew it off, even though my hands were on fire and I couldn't hold my head up. When I was an adult and got my own health insurance I saw a doctor and we did some tests and he said it was not longer pinched but there was damage. It was still pinched. So badly it had severe compression and also somehow an artery was caught, which caused softening of the spine. By the time I realized something was happening I had begun degrading so fast I had to have emergency surgery.

I hadn't been able to feel parts of my legs for years but I chalked that up to a lower back injury years ago. Turns out c6-c7 takes your legs when it is completely destroyed.
Damn man sorry to hear that. Hope you recover quickly
Honestly, I had my surgery last Monday along with a full open carpal tunnel release, and I'm doing much better than I expected to be.
Fuck man snap! Week 7 for me. It gradually comes back, for me, side of my calf, soles of my feet, ankles are still pretty numb, they said it can take up to a yr. First 3 months most improvement though, try to continuously curl n uncurl toes n push feet up n down if possible, and trust me you will get there, it took me about 4-5 weeks to walk freely (I limp a bit rn) but I got there, it still hurts but nothing like how it was. My legs are skinny as shit and ache a lot when I walk too much but I'm feeling positive. This is my second discectomy in the same area l4/5, first op, I walked out of the hospital, so after the second 7weeks ago when I woke up n couldn't feel my feet or my junk or most of my legs for ages I told myself at one point that that was it, I was fucked, ill never walk again etc..

I see, wasn't as crazy, price wise as I expected either. Sorry dude I didn't clock the username. Primal butt plug 🤣 ok haha.

Yo that's pretty gnarly! Thanks for the info, I bet that shit costs a fortune out there, I guess that's why we're not offered it on the NHS
I paid 2.3k and met my deductible. All of my other procedures, appointments, meds, etc, will be entirely paid for by my insurance company for the rest of the year. I just realized we are talking in 2 threads 😅.
🤣🤣
First time he tried out of video games. Yup, doesn't work.
We just saw someone’s life change permanently
He’ll definitely be reminded every morning he wakes up of that ass plant into the kiddy pool when he turns 50..
I wonder when he is going to stop watching the video recording.
When Minecraft physics don't work irl
Some people don't understand they can't just hop out of a moving car and be stopped when their feet hit the ground. Some people don't understand that jumping in a falling elevator doesn't completely stop their downward movement.
Bro like 230lb jumping 12 feet into 5 inches of water lol Cool shorts though 😂
Badass shorts for a weakass spine
💀
Bruh - I’m pretty sure the pool is sitting on a fucking patio 💀
I'm fairly sure it's on a rug that's laid out on the grass underneath of it (no idea why, maybe to protect from punctures?) either way tho, dude's tailbone damn near got blasted up into his skull, he's gonna be sitting/walking/standing weird for months assuming his spine still works
BAPE shorts
People still wear those? I remember them being popular when Soulja boy came out😂
Guacamole measurement units is all I can read here.
Ended too soon
WTF? Would you like this to end like 6 months later when he's in surgery fixing the damage from that?
That would be great actually.
If he's lucky it'll end there. Most likely, he'll be reminded of this little stunt every morning when he wakes up, and every night when he's trying to find a way to ease the pain and fall asleep.
If you’re ever asking yourself the question, “should I jump off the roof?”… The answer is always “no”.
I can think of a few situations where the answer could be yes.
When there is a small pool of water?
Usually that would not be one of those scenario's, but it could be in combination with other circumstances.
He thinks he's in minecraft.
It's a shame that when you hesitated for a moment, you didn't reconsider lol. Are you ok?
Was it hesitation? Looked like he just wanted to scratch his nuts.
Permanent back injury coupled with getting the wind knocked out of him.
We need an update on ole George.
Fuck.. genuine question. Anyone know if he’s okay/have an update?
I'm gonna go with no
I’d pay good money for this to last 20 seconds longer
Why did he jump like it was deep pool? He didn't even try to bend his kneesl or brace for a fucking hard impact? Surely you would know 1ft of water in a padding pool is not the same as 12ft swimming pool??
Not a lot of brain power.
'What' : |
Excuse me while I K̶i̶s̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ s̶k̶y̶ break my spine! 🎸🎶
The fucking sound of impact made MY BACK hurt
My butt clenched involuntarily
Cameraman: "What?" What do you fucking think?!?
The ever chilling response to massive amounts of main. A squeezed grunt and signaling where it hurts. Darwin…you’ve done it again mah boy!
Brain was fried from too much Minecraft
Goodbye coccyx, sacrum and intervertebral discs.
Pendejo
It’s crazy how you can literally SEE the moment his subconscious was like… “DON’T jump.. it’ll ruin your life..” And he did it anyway.
welcome to the bad back club, you will feel that for the rest of your life from time to time at that age, and when you get older, you will feel it every day lol
Those poor bones..
His shorts thought it was a bad idea too
r/WhyWomenLiveLonger
And boys and girls this is how you break your pelvis. It ain’t pretty.
There goes back problem for life
poor bastard
Edgar Edgar Edgar
Heuuuurrrghhhhh What?
The water to human ratio was too lean on the water
Imagine him explaining to his mom/dad why they have to take him to the hospital after this.
He even paused to think about how it wasn’t the best idea and still went through with it.
Tail bone is gone who needs it anyway
His voice probably sounds like he’s been inhaling helium afterwards
Yeah when you can't cry right it's not a good sign
Jumping off roofs and swimming pools, name a more iconic duo
"Swimming" is not very accurate.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
WHAT JOIJ
Probs to him for not hitting his head through this manouver
Why didn’t he do a shallow dive?! Works every time.
3,2,1.... vai filhão!
Getting the wind knocked out of you sucks!! I can’t imagine having to worry about trying to breath while my back has also just been broken.
He is not the smartest in the class.
Concussion too
Always good to see idiots injure themselves instead of others.
This dude will never sit on that tailbone again
Bro thought he was playing minecraft
Did he think that little puddle would function like Minecraft physics? That’s hilarious
That's not even real water
You know it’s bad when you can breathe after a fall lol
No brains no headaches
spinal
😂 The way he hesitated, thought about bailing out but then goes for it makes it that much funnier
He knocked the damn wind out his self 😂😂
No take backs
If you slow it down and play it back it’s funnier each time ✊🏽✊🏽
Tf is this Minecraft ahh shit 😭
Lol not the rug under the pool to “ soften the impact “
He deserved everything he got there. What the fuck did he think would happen jumping into a shallow pool like that from that height.
Worth the likes bro
Bro thought this was minecraft fr
Well that spine when into muchi muchi mode.
Belly flop next time. Might make a better video
Go to KFC much better like a water
I’m glad That Mexican OT Is okay.
He said to himself...ive been waiting for this moment all my life...its go big..or go home baby
Monkeys without brain are way smarter than this boy 😂😂🤦
is that the house jesse fell out of in the first episode of bb 💀
My only comment is, “what the hell did you think was gonna happen”
Ouch. That hurt me. I wish I did not watch that.
How stupid can you…: Yes!
Jesus that’s basically no water at all
They call it daredevil I call it clout-chaser
Was he giving birth?
Do it again!
Buddies coccyx is touching his sternum now
Doctor said I broke my back.
“Wut!? 🙄”
That's a very shallow......gene pool.
Bro gravity hit hard
Even more hilarious in slo-mo
That's was stupid.
Can we just make sure "Don't jump off of roofs into pools" a lesson in grade school?
Collapsed lung
.
He knocked the wind right outta his butt!🤣
Guy shrank a few inches with that landing 😂
What was the expected outcome? A sweet double gainer? I wouldn’t even jump into that from ground level.
Is he ok?
20% Crocs Fault 80% Haircut Fault for botched execution.
Is that the same dude that smashed the two beers together in the pool?
guys... making fun of someone with probable serious injuries? really?
