UPDATE: A few days after the recording of this episode my father suffered a fatal stroke. So unfortunately the correlation seemed to show itself for my dad.

My experience, admittedly in NHS in Britain, is that my ortho surgeon was amazing. I had a complete tear of my ACL and smashed up the meniscus some years ago and everything was explained to me, surgical and non surgical. They also assigned me a physio to work out a programme before and after surgery. I worked really hard to do everything they told me and it paid off massively. My surgeon was one of the best in the UK, to be fair, and his particular field of interest was ACL reconstruction. He did such an excellent job that my repaired knee is now more stable than my other knee. It was only after I was fully healed and walking without a knee brace that he and the physio came clean and said that the amount of damage I'd done had made them concerned I'd never walk unaided again, even after surgery. But that was never even put forward as a possibility at the start so it never occurred to me that I wouldn't fully recover my mobility. Very clever doctors, both practically and psychologically.

So sorry for your loss🙏🏿
I really appreciate your videos and your emphasis on muscle health. You've given me a lot of food for thought when you said that we should be building muscle for a purpose not just for the sake of it. I now strengthen my muscles so that I can continue doing the things that I love..it's more motivating and shifts my focus. Thank you😊

I completely agree. My issue with surgeons is their excessive eagerness to cut when so often the patient does not have the physical constitution to withstand the trauma of the surgery or recovery. I've seen this result in death, or reduced life quality again and again with parents, grandparents, and elderly friends. With my mother, it was heart attack, in post-op after a knee surgery.

That said, my heart is with you and sending positive energy and love.

I will always consider surgery only as a very last resort.

i have ACTUALLY been bedridden thanks to ME/CFS and i completely 100% agree re muscle dystrophy. The old adage 'use it or lose it' 100% applies and i wonder if some types of fibro-ish pains are due to this.
My physical recovery started with cranial-sacral osteo -and i would fall asleep during the sessions thhey would wear me out but also put me into a relaxed mode. Then i did alexander technique for 2 years as well as cobbling together my own exercise regime consisting of yin (slow and posture holding) yoga style corrective exercises, qi gong and walking.
I saw many improvements, but i have lapsed over this last winter and i need to take myself in hand again.
This channel is very inspirational and where i got some of those exercises from

Been dealing with a back injury for years. Doctors don't serve a higher calling. They work a 9 to 5 and you are just one of many. Your healing is pretty much in your hands unless you're charismatic or it's an emergency. Such is the world.

[azdjedi]

Nailed it. The part about needing to use muscles more was key.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. Blessings to you Matt & your family.

[dellieb]

I am so sorry for your loss, prayers and good thoughts heading your way. 😮

[bobbiefarrar]

Sad in my heart for your loss of your Dad. You and your family are in my prayers. May God's love and peace comfort you during this time of sorrow.

[serenanewton]

I thank you from the bottom of my heart, I have hip dysplasia plus commencing osteoarthritis, since doing your exercises within a week my pain is gone❤❤❤

[sandysoekoe]

Sorry to hear about your dad Matt. Thoughts are with you and your family.

My local orthopedic clinic never investigated my situation, but instead misdiagnosed me as bursitis.
My true problem was actually muscle atrophy combined with extreme APT.

I am so very sorry for your loss Matt. ❤🙏

[stonecandle]

Condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. Heartbreaking news.

Matt, Dr Glidden (Naturopath Dr) says the only excellent allopathic medicine is performed in emergency situations. That adds credence to what you said here.

I had physical therapy two times following a freak fall in the house. It caused a knee injury the pain of which radiated to my hip. Medicare approved a series of physical therapy sessions on two different occasions. While it helped immensely and I was, after finishing each series, able to throw aside my cane, the difficulty came back again in short order. The minute I was able to walk normally, they released me. They did not reinforce my new, normal walking gait with any further appointments. Meanwhile I did the exercises they prescribed. I believe they let me go too soon, I guess to save Medicare money. What seemed to be sound recovery was actually recovery of very short order because there was no reinforcement, no follow-up whatsoever. My hip and knee, my walking reverted to what it had been before I went into physical therapy. That's why I would not go to physical therapy again. I had put in the necessary time and effort and never missed an appointment. Looking back, it was a huge waste of time and money. I liked it years ago when healthcare was between the patient and the doctor without so many administrative people involved making decisions. Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Saying doctor's can only understand scientific studies would imply that people like Tesla and Einstein wouldn't be able to understand the studies.

So sorry to hear about your Dad, Matt.
