Michael Porter Jr. INJURY | Doctor Explains Disc Herniations

[@ManditoBandito]

Do Chris Bosh's blood clots. People have said that he could die if he played NBA basketball again, and I was just curious as to exactly how that works and if that is true. I wish he could play again, as I'm sure teams would love a 6'11" PF who can shoot.

[@stevencoardvenice]

Armando Sanchez Yeah don't be urging him to play. He's got a lot of heart and he might try to come back if people get in his head. But it's not worth it. He's got a family

[@BrianSuttererMD]

It's a risk of bleeding, not a risk of getting a clot. The meds to prevent clots make your blood thin and so a more simple injury could become life threatening . It's s topic I've thought about for a video

[@petercasnocha5340]

I had a minor disc protrusion L5-S1 4 years ago. I experienced the most excruciating pain ever and was once crippled for 3 days because of it. I stayed in bed until I was able to slowly walk. It was horrible. I Iost hope. I had anxiety because of it. I was able to recover by doing a personal research on how to avoid and how to heal from minor disc problems. Proper body mechanics, proper sleeping position, proper lifting, avoiding the positions that will aggravate the protrusion of the disc, all these will increase your chances of healing as time goes by. Now I'm working on a more active job. Its sad because i'm supposed to be a computer programmer but I'm avoiding to sit and stay in one position for a long time but life must go on for the better. I got rid of all the pain but I'm not 100% recovered. They said once you have this problem there is no going back but I'm able to live now without any sciatic nerve pain so I'm happy and I'm proud of my recovery.

[@tyru2]

[@vegeta9411]

Basically once you severely injure a body part you’ll never the same

[@jfragghianti]

I’ve got an L5 compression fracture. I know the excruciating pain you speak of well. I went to a chiropractor as a last resort before surgery. A friend claimed the chiro saved his life. I was skeptical to say the least. Five years later and I’m pain free. I see him once a month and perform stretches that he recommended daily. I understand the doubts that people have towards alternative medicine in the U.S., but it can be a lifesaver. People who have never had crippling back pain have absolutely no idea how bad it is. I couldn’t get out of bed for weeks at a time.

⁠@@jfragghiantiLiar. Let me chiropract you so I can elbow the back of your neck Old head

[@sstavo_]

So basically the Nuggets just drafted a #1 pick way later without risks

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Possible, yea. If he can get back on the court and through a season don't really see a reason he should be affected.

[@Your_Majezty]

Official 0 MPJ is gonna wake the league up bro I swear

[@doyouseestroberries]

I think what scared teams off was that he needed a second microdiscectomy right after the draft. Plus with the hip spasms in some of his pre draft workouts, teams wanted to take the safe bet (although it seems like the hip issue was also tied to his back). The Nuggets were in the position that they didn't need anyone to immediately contribute this year, so they could afford the risk. It's starting to look more and more like they made the right choice.

[@TheNamesDitto]

@@BrianSuttererMD damn. You doctors need to be a bigger part of the drafting process.

Thank you for explaining this! Many people online seem to think they are an expert on his injury. As someone who had the same surgery I know you can come back from it.

Take that haters.

[@ericalvarez3614]

[@NoahHerzeele]

how are you now?

[@emadtalukdar6340]

Ive binged watched your videos and got to say these are amazing. Truly teaches me a lot and you are so good at explaining this stuff to the average person. Keep it coming doc. I would like to see a video on Steph Curry. Like why is he so susceptible to ankle sprains? Is it bad luck or is it something specific? I always believed that Steph curry never really developed a dunking or finishing above the rim game because of fear of damaging his ankles. Do you think so? Also is he fully healed now or is he still more susceptible to this injury than other players?

[@doyouseestroberries]

I think he did a video about ankle sprains and the different kinds. I'd guess that it's a few reasons like the history of sprains, genetics, and less than ideal mechanics. His below the rim play is mostly because he's an average athlete who is fairly small with very bad length for an NBA player (which is also part of the reason he's a liability on defense). That's just not really a part of his game and I don't think it ever would be. He'll likely struggle for the remainder of his career with ankle issues and I'd bet he averages about 60-70 regular season games per year barring any major setbacks.

Out of high school i played baseball at a local JC. I was a pitcher and always noticed my left leg was weaker than my right. I am right handed and when pitching I land on my left leg. After baseball I took up running. A 16:20 5k my best. Again my left leg a problem and was diagnosed with Chondromalcia. In my 40's I had horrible sciatica leaving my left foot asleep. At 52yo I was diagnosed with M.S. I have a lesion on my t spine and mild vetebral prolapse at L4, L5, hence why my left foot is asleep, for atleast 5 years now. I still workout 5 days a week.

[@pinheadlarry3992]

Shiroman Singh Spinal surgery. That’s it. You don’t fuck with the spine unless it’s to save your life, if you do then you sentence yourself to a long life of immense pain. And yes of course doctors want you to opt for the surgeries cuz thats where the $$$ comes in, and hey if your life turns to shit because of the surgery and need pain meds then thats just more $$$ for them, they always win unless you choose to go with conservative treatment...

[@pinheadlarry3992]

Shiroman Singh Steve Kerr has also become publicly vocal about never choosing spinal surgeries for the “easy fix” because the complications aren’t worth the temporary relief. Like he says to the media, “rehabilitation, rehabilitation, rehabilitation.”

[@lukecooper2372]

Hey Doc. Thanks for doing these videos and giving us a better understanding of these injuries athletes suffer throughout careers. I am really curious about MPJs back injury. He has gone through 3 back surgeries now with the last one coming close to a year ago. He has been looking great but the last game against Portland he apparently had back spasms. On a put back lay up at the end of the 2nd quarter against Nurkic seemed like a time he started looking a little uncomfortable while running back on Defense. I would love to know what you think about this injury. According to the Nuggets he is fine and they sat him for injury management. Again thank you for the content!

[@Soosss]

Thanks for this high quality videos, all this does is make me more scared of the Nuggets though.. Number 1 team in the west and they have a potential star player in MPJ coming back next year, if the surgery went well and he has no other symptoms then it's GG.

I don't think it will mean him much if he plays 2 games this season, however if he starts the next season, he will technically be a rookie, so he'll have a chance to win ROTY (like Ben Simmons did).

Punctate anterior longitudinal ligament calcification versus small endplate osteophyte at the anterior aspect of C2.

No significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis. Can you explain this for me ,really appreciate !

[@stevewode]

So it’s your opinion that he should be fully healed at this point, a full 6 months out from the last surgery. What would be the reason he isn’t playing yet? Is there a point where it just won’t get any better than it is or are there still small improvements he could be making with it? Thanks for informative video.

[@mannnnnn123456]

Imo it has to do with him sitting out for 6 months and is not in basketball shape. He needs to get his body back into peak nba condition, or he can suffer different injuries if his body is not ready. He is practicing with the team with full contact for portions. But that is much different than a full on nba game. Tldr; He just needs to get his strength and conditioning back up, and into basketball shape or risk other injuries before playing.
