I used to play football and suffered 15 concussions during my career. Back when I played they referred to concussions as "getting your bell rung" and coaches told us to get back on the field. I dealt with post concussion syndrome for years after and eventually suffered a stroke and developed epilepsy from the litany of traumatic brain injuries in my life. If Doctor Mike notices this I would love to talk to him about it.

As a Mets fan... that hurts. For both Harvey and Stras. The 'cure' for TOS involves removing a rib, which can lead to nerve damage and loss of feeling in the extremities, which is what happened to Stras, from the sound of it. A bunch of us fans looked it up when Harvey was diagnosed with it. TOS is the true pitcher killer. Like the recovery rate is abysmal.

My sophomore year of highschool baseball I was hit in the face by a linedrive while pitching, it broke my zygomatic and orbital bones and later I would need surgery. That was probably the worst day of my life. Took months for me to recover and get cleared but I am still playing baseball going into my junior year. It truly is an amazing sport that evokes a lot of passion, and while it is quite dangerous, an injury will never change the love we have for the game.

[@mykeljmoney]

Going in to your junior year?! My man, that injury was practically yesterday. Glad you’re recovering and getting back into the game! The injury must’ve been horrible, but all missing all that baseball you wanted to play. You handled it like pro. Hope the season is going well for you!

[@supermegaawesomeultragal7820]

Mike is right about the psychological and emotional standpoint of stepping back in front of 100 mile-an-hour pitches after being hit by one. When I got in my most serious car accident, you bet that I made sure to hop in the car and drive that same road as fast as I could get back on it. I didn't want the fear to set in too abundantly

[@katrinascarlet5637]

Oof, brings back memories of watching Untamed and Uncut late at night. There was this horse that reared up and landed on its back...with the rider still in the saddle. The horn of the saddle (the hard part at the front that Western saddles have to tie rope onto, I don't know equestrian stuff) dug into her face with all the weight of the horse on top of her and basically broke her face. I think she lived but was disfigured by that accident. They made a huge deal about the horse being one she'd spent years training to compete so it was shocking.

[@DawnTheEquestrian]

@@katrinascarlet5637 I've never thought of that. I personally ride English so my tack is lighter and less likely to do something like that, but wish Western tack I guess the saddle horn would definitely be something to think about

[@green7449]

What Mike mentioned about getting injured from a bad pitch being traumatic and making it so that you are too scared to get back in the batters box is very real. Happened to me in AAA little league. Got hit really badly in the chest, minor fracture to a rib and bad bruising. Only to recover and get hit with a pitch the next game I played after coming back. After that I would stand too far out and was constantly reprimanded because I was always needing to be told to move up. Finally I just said "I'm done, I am too scared of the ball at this point." I couldn't imagine getting hit in the face or chest with an MLB fastball.

[@HoneyBadger1342]

@@mystery_1101 Osgood-Schlatter is a growing problem mostly known in young to mid teens. It’s a childhood repetitive-use injury that causes a painful lump below the kneecap. The disease affects children experiencing growth spurts. Children who play sports in which they regularly run and jump are most at risk. Doctor Mike also explains another form of Osgood-Schlatter during this video, which is what I have suffered from the age of 14 and still to this day I suffer from the effects of the disease.

I was extremely active in multiple sports from elementary school up until my 20s. I suffered so many weird injuries, and had "unexplained" knee pain during my entire teens which, after watching this video, I now know what it was! But I think the weirdest injury I ever suffered was when I kicked a ball to defend the goal at the exact same moment as my teammate kicked to score a goal in practice together. We both fell down, the ball stayed in the same spot, and all the metatarsals in my foot were broken in half! Amazingly, I got up and just kept going and wasn't really even in any pain! I didn't even get an x-ray until a week later when my foot started bruising and my parents asked me if I dropped something on it. Will always be amazed that I had no pain, I broke other bones and those hurt a lot!

He just finally got out of the brace. Can't play other sports until spring. Then last summer, same nephew, playing baseball, he tore all the ligaments and some tendons in the same shoulder and had to have extensive surgery and rehab The doc said he had never seen such a severe case. He even tore the tendon on one end of his bicep and they had to open his arm up to pull it back in place and reattach. He got over rehab at the end of February and then got the humerus break in June.

Thank you for addressing adolescent athletics as a precursor for adult injury. Not baseball, but I was in ballet and gymnastics for nearly 20 years, and started having knee pain. Couldn't sit through a movie. Later in adulthood, I developed severe arthritis in my lumbar spine because no one, not even ballerinas or gymnasts, should be able to touch their foot to the back of their head, or their head to their butt, especially pre adolescent. Now these were the days when all of us had eating disorders, and we were not doing any strength training beyond our sport. Now we see adults who would have aged out in my day competing well into their late twenties with fully closed growth plates, proper training, proper nutrition and proper rest.

It was my left side, a bit behind and above my ear. My coach rushed over after she saw me not getting up, and was assessing my situation when she realized I wasn't breathing right. What I remember was only being able to breathe in, but not out. I almost passed out, but she was smart enough to pull my mask off and coach me through breathing again. Was my breathing issue from shock, damage to my head, or maybe something else?

This is a really interesting question and eels to be an unusual scenario. I hope he or another medical professional/student in the comments answers this.

I play REP Baseball and have been hit by a comebacker while pitching. I was out with fractured face bones and missing teeth. It came back around 70 mph and I can say from experience baseball is one of the most dangerous sports in the world!

7:48 yeah that sound is crazy - when i wrestled my friend and i head butted during practice and she ended up getting a concussion - that moment right after impact when i was seeing stars and felt like my face was on fire sticks with me

Watching and listening to Mike talk about that first injury takes me back to rupturing my ATFL amongst other low grade tears to the others, bursars and bone damage from the ligament ripping off while crashing a pack at full sprint playing Australia rules football, still to this day my ankle can be unstable no mater how much band and balance work i do. Kind of wish the doctor i had back then had opted for a reco. btw i was walking an hour later and only got scans done a week later after my ankle turned almost solid black from bruising while at work.

I remember playing softball in primary school. We had two teams - the A team and the B team. My friend was on the A team, while I was on the B team. Both teams had matches scheduled on the same field at the same time. Although I didn't witness the first accident, I heard it. However, I did see the second accident. It was a terrifying experience - the sound of the ball hitting someone and the screams of the girls echoed across the field. During one match, my friend was up to bat and hit the ball straight at the pitcher, accidentally breaking her jaw. After rushing her to the hospital, they put in a backup pitcher, only for the same thing to happen again. My friend felt extremely guilty and spent most of the day crying. In the following days, she was feeling quite down about the incident.

Hi Dr Mike. I love watching your great videos, you seem a little down and you haven’t been uploading as much. If you have anything going on in your own life we all totally understand. Do what makes you happy and healthy and you don’t have to upload if you don’t want to. I hope you have a great day 😀!!!

1:47 omg I fractured my orbital floor by taking a baseball to the face in 5th grade. This clip brought back some terrible feelings 🫣😬😳🤕

[@panhead537]

Oh God!

[@mrcheesy9633]

what sad part here as a baseball player, he swinged at the pitch, so it’s a strike. 2:06

[@SilveerStarr]

thank you for mentioning osgood-schlatter!! i got it when i ran cross country in middle school, didn’t properly take care of it, and i deal with knee pain in my mid-20s now. i wear a knee brace for work & any other place i may be walking around a lot. please take care of yourself as a kid and wear that little knee support thing even if it feels weird!

[@suzieredfoxfur6982]

Dr. Mike you are my new favorite KZbin channel!!! I’m learning SO much. I have numerous health issues and am fascinated by the way you break things down so well. Thank you. And Go Giants! Lol

[@Leafsdude]

I would love if you would do this for hockey, as well. Not so much because of the injuries, as much as commentary on how quality the medical care is. As a person who watches many sports a lot, I've found the best quality of care, as a complete layman, comes from NHL doctors and trainers on the ice. The care they show and the amount of knowledge they can react with immediately. I think of Dr David Mulder and Dr Jim Pizzutelli particularly, who have both dealt with serious life-threatening injuries on the ice with quick action that saved lives.

[@thegerblinradio]

I think he already has a hockey one! Do you want me to link it for you if I can find it?

[@Leafsdude]

@@thegerblinradio Don't believe he does, but if you can find it, definitely link it.

[@thegerblinradio]

@@LeafsdudeI can’t find it, but I’ll definitely link it if I find it again! I might’ve been thinking of one of his videos involving a hockey injury? I’m not sure, I have a bit of trouble with memory loss, sorry about that!

[@hangryfv]

10:08 that’s so disrespectful that the rays tagged him there

[@Jcksn9000]

Yeah just let him lay there in peace

[@ferrarijim]

Do you like money?

[@tonyjr7460]

Hey Mike please do more of this!

[@parkersidebottom1334]

The hyperextended neck thing happened to me once on my trampoline and I kept on playing on it I was laying on my back threw a football to far over my head and behind me and I rolled on my neck I was fine thank goodness.

[@grandtheftautoandstuff3744]

1:56 I think that’s Giancarlo Stanton

[@WJxEDITZ]

obviously

[@RealMoukeycat]

1:07. "Two bones in the lower foot"?

[@LiamHiatt]

Probably one of my favorite videos you made

[@patrickkanas3874]

You should hear the stories of some of the oddest injuries in baseball. Three of them come to mind right away. The time Sammy Sosa threw out his back while sneezing, Will Smith once tore his LCL when he pulled a shoe off too hard, and a reporter for the Dodgers broke his wrist going down Bernie Brewer's slide

[@mysticmajestic2360]

I had two concussions as a teenager, one playing sports and the other accidentally cracking skulls with another person just messing about, and my vision immediately went from near perfect to needing glasses permanently after the second one, light sensitivity, as well as my memory never quite recovering. Concussions are no joke.

[@EVILarmstrong2]

Please do more sports injury videos like this. I'd love to see you talking concussions in football or hockey
