Doctor Reacts To Musician's Medical Emergencies

[@steffirebellin1832]

To be fair, this already does happen. I‘ve been to a lot of rock and metal concerts and as soon as the band notices someone falling down or something happening in the audience, they usually do immediately stop the music and use a spot light until everybody‘s up and ready again. If the musicians care about their audience, they do those measures you proposed already. And the past tense of teach is taught.

There’s a great story somewhere on the interwebs about the doctor that was at Dave grohl’s concert. He was there as a fan but ended up onstage holding his leg immobile for the rest of the concert.

I worked for a doctor who actually cared, knew what it was, and got me officially diagnosed quickly. I knew what narcotics could do. The first place I went offered opioids (this was 20ish years ago).

I have stiff person syndrome as well. It is not only painful but terrifying. You learn not to do things you enjoy out of fear of sending yourself into a spasm attack or seizure. I was diagnosed over 15 years ago and now because doctors don’t want to treat patients who require benzodiazepines I am without a specialist. I see a pain management Doctor but I’m only prescribed 1.5 mg of Clonazepam a day. People brag about taking more than that just for general anxiety. My life is at a standstill. I feel like I’ve missed my best years. It’s a progressive disease so I can only expect it will get worse. My pain can (and does) reach a 10/10 at times but I can’t go to the emergency room due to my contract with my pain management Doctor. I pray everyday that my pain management Doctor or PCP will magically refer me to a neurologist who is willing to treat me. Both the pain doctor and PCP have their hands tied as the can’t prescribe multiple benzodiazepines and I really need to take both Valium and Klonopin.

@@nellafoots2251 I was diagnosed by accident in grad school when I fell down stairs. The school Dr who was setting my broken leg was pushing up on my foot and asking me to say when it hurt. I said nah it's not going to hurt because I'm very flexible. She did the Beighton test right there and said I needed to see a Dr who knew more because she only learned about it recently from a conference she went to but she thought I had EDS. So they had me see one of the med school teachers who did dermatology stuff once a month. He said "it's not like EDS affects anything else or is dangerous so it's not worth pursuing." The original Dr said no you need to go figure this out because it could be related to other medical issues I was having, plus she knew enough that dangerous versions like the vascular one existed. I moved shortly after and went to this massive hospital hooked up to a med school. The rheumatology dept said it's too rare and they only treat things like arthritis. Then they used me as a class lesson on what hEDS looks like, and had the nerve to charge me for an "extended" office visit. I said WTF you guys did nothing and then used me as a guinea pig without even asking and you want to charge me extra?! They also asked why I wasn't diagnosed earlier (I was 35). I said well you said it's rare, so how the heck was anyone supposed to know about what this was in the 80s? Plus both my parents have it so being flexible and in pain was normal in my family. So much so that my dad died of lung cancer that spread EVERYWHERE in his body and he said the pain was barely higher than his everyday joint pain so he just brushed it off as getting older. He died during a biopsy surgery so it's probably better he didn't suffer through treatment that wouldn't save him.

As a short person who jumps into a lot of mosh pits, gotta second this. Somehow I am injured less in any pit with a bunch of muscular 6ft guys than in a pit that once formed at a pop punk concert full of first-time pitters and 5ft girls in full makeup. I will say the majority of them didn't seem to understand how a pit works, so there's that. Living in the south with heat waves, the artists I see are also always instantly aware of issues in the audience, and alert security as soon as they notice someone injured or passed out.

[@merrymachiavelli2041]

I think crowd dynamics is a lot more about venue design and crowd control measures than conscious decisions, especially by people who are actually in crush-zones. Above a certain point, a high density of humans is acts like a fluid. You can't pick yourself or anybody else up if you are being compressed to the point you can't move your arms, and even if nobody falls, pressures can get high enough that people just suffocate. A lot of trampling happens when there is some catalyst (e.g. a fire alert, or the grand opening of a store) which causes large numbers of people at the back of a crowd to simultaneously rush through openings (unaware of the broader situation), while people at the front at trapped in dead-ends or crushed against doorways. The solution is venue-design and crowd limits, not really education.

I’m often told “don’t lift like that, you’ll hurt your back… lift like this”… so I did, and funnily enough, ‘this’ started my back problems! Now when someone says “do this” I say “I don’t do ‘this’ because ‘this’ hurts my back” We know our bodies better than anyone else. It’s a classic “dad joke” but it rings true: “Doctor, it hurts when I do this.” “Well, don’t do it then.” 😂

You brought up a problem I think I experienced. I think I tore the labrum in my hip when I was in college marching band. Excruciating pain. Worst I've ever felt. I was screaming. They never could give me a reason for the pain when I went to the ER. They just gave me pain medication and had me rest. I was on crutches for 2.5 weeks. I have had problems from my hip ever since. Hip feels like it's locked up and can't swing forward. Hurts to move my leg but I can walk on it. Pain when sitting for long periods of time. Sometimes no pain just difficult to walk. I didn't think it could be a problem until I started having pain again last night and when you brought it up here. I will bring it up to my doctor next week when I see her. Thanks Dr. Mike!

[@shaynewheeler9249]

Hi Dr Mike

[@RavensHusky]

My mother has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and myself and my siblings all have varying degrees of symptoms of it. It's indeed a rough condition that increases the risk of other things from simple injures ending worse than in someone not effected, all the way to potential chances of serious organ issues and a reduced life expectancy (depending on type of EDS). Lets just hope the method of diagnosis improves once they start figuring out the genes that are linked to it and more research is done. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a good day! 🙂

[@Jjnnssiinngg]

I have EDS as well! I was only diagnosed at 20- something years old because my ankle literally broke just from walking up stairs. I also needed major leg surgery when I was around 14 where they had to break my femurs and put titanium rods in them to realign my bones so my hips would stop dislocating. They didn't know I had EDS at the time and thought it was just a random thing.. Mine just affects my joints to the point they're so weak and floppy that they get injured easily and normal wear and tear on them is a lot more than most peoples. I've never been able to run much even though I've always wanted to, and have bad scoliosis which is likely related. I also have POTS which is apparently very common in people with EDS as well. Just sharing for people who wonder what kind of issues it can cause.

[@RavensHusky]

@@Jjnnssiinngg Nice to hear from another person whos understands how this disorder affects people's lives. My mum has broken multiple bones, one I will always remember is when she broek her fibula and tiabi. They broke straight through (near the ankle) when she roled her ankle in a ditch while carrying my little sister who was a baby at the time. She somehow stayed upright so my father could grab my little sister so she wouldn't get hurt. My mother was diagnosed later in life, around 40ish and is honestly a right trooper! One of my younger siblings has scoliosis (also believed to be linked to EDS) and will dislocate her shoulders from basically nothing. A different sibling has extremly bad ankles issues and has got specially designed boots to help her get around. The wear and tear from normal things is horrible, especially running like with you. I love outdoor sports, rock climbing, gorge walking, moutain biking, etc, yet it's risky so I have to be way more careful. I'm luckier as I don't have it as severe as some of my other siblings even though I have symptoms that are a struggle to work with. My right shoulder I've got to get checked a likely get physio or more done depending on how it is. I injured it a while back lifting some heavy ojects and I no longer have the same strength anymore. I'm not sure if its linked to EDS but I also have full body pain concentrated around the joints and can't feel pain in my shoulders down except to bone damage. I've always been very careful physically as i've just felt like my joints were weaker adn flimsier, turns out I thought that for a good reason. It being a connective tissue disorder is just rough as it affects so many different areas of the body. Very annoying when people people find out I'm more flexible than the average person and some of them ask me to show how flexible I am. A you'll understand I won't show them as it's to much of a risk for a party trick deu to the chances I may injure myself or worsen any damage already there. Still funny though when I show how flexible I am to my dad and he's squeamish from it. My dad doesn't have EDS or and symptoms of it, he does however carry part of the genetics of it. Sorry for the wall of text, I got a little excited talking to someone who understands it. Thaks for reading to here, hava a good one!

[@happyninja42]

Yeah I remember having a muscle spasm in my calf once that was so intense it tore the muscle enough to make me sore for a week, and unable to comfortably walk on that leg. It was nuts. I was doing nothing, just laying in bed, stretching as I woke up and flexing my toes down, and that calf muscle just went crazy and locked up so bad I was screaming and writhing in pain. Can't imagine having something like that over my entire body like Celine is dealing with.

[@brianbethea3069]

I used to get those every night. When they first started, I would scream out in pain, but eventually I learned that if you stand up and force your foot to flex back upward by putting your weight on it, it goes away really quickly. The other night though, I got an inner thigh cramp that was easily a 10 on the pain scale, and I've had appendicitis pain so bad that it almost knocked me out. This pain was so bad that I started sweating profusely and getting light-headed, and the worst part was that no amount of stretching in any direction would make it go away. It legitimately felt like I'd just been shot in the leg. I just had to stand on it hunched over for a solid five minutes until I could finally move it without it sending a shockwave through my whole body. On the plus side, the massive rush of adrenaline and endorphins lasted for a solid 30 minutes afterward. But I feel for you man, once you get used to them and know how to get rid of them, cramps aren't so bad, but those first few calf cramps I got were absolute hell on earth.

Now, I no longer need chiropractic visits and only occasionally need to do a few stretches that I learned during physical therapy. But mostly just increasing the exercising and increasing it in both frequency and duration has given me years back on my life. Cardio + Strength Training might be the best prescription out there, in my opinion.

[@jchelseaw8418]

Hand injuries really are no joke. My dad does construction, and he was removing old single-pane windows from a house and the glass broke within the frame and fell on the top of the back of his hand and cut it. It was a deep cut, so he went to an urgent care center nearby. There were no doctors still there (late in the afternoon) so a nurse stitched him up and suggested he see a doctor as soon as possible. By the next day, he couldn't use his thumb or forefinger. He thought it was just because of the pain so he waited two days to go to the hospital at the urging of a friend who was a surgeon. They ended up having to do surgery because the tendons connecting his thumb and forefinger up into his wrist were completely severed. It took months of physical therapy to be able to use his hand again, and realistically, it was two years before he had full sensitive grasp mobility in his hand again. That urgent care center got shut down not long after, and it probably wasn't because of his case, but the fact a nurse didn't send him to the hospital rather than just stitch up that bad of a laceration to the back of the hand probably reflected on their standard of care in general.

I have chronic pain and as long as I stay around a 6 on the pain scale, I consider it well enough managed. I have a pain dr and they’re good at finding the right combination of medication and other strategies to reduce pain without causing debilitating side effects. The goal is not to completely get rid of the pain, which isn’t even possible with my conditions, but to keep the pain and side effects at levels that still allow functioning and enjoyment of life. My meds and appt frequency (I have to be seen every 2mos for refills) are strictly monitored to prevent overuse. Some people think it’s a frustrating system but if it helps prevent opioid addiction, I’m more than happy to comply with the system!

[@Star1412s]

I guess I don’t know where you are, but that system also keeps a lot of people from getting help, at least in the States. If you don’t have good insurance and can’t afford the treatment, you’re either dealing with a non-livable amount of pain until you die, or you have more debt than you can possibly handle. Drug addiction is bad. I agree with that. But the fact that the government would rather let people go untreated is just unethical.

I got what my physical therapist diagnosed as adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder. It's also an autoimmune condition.

The walk-in doctor I saw was like 'what on earth did you DO?' once he had ascertained that it really just the muscles locked up, no tenderness in or around my spine. I picked up my 7 lb cat.

​@@tinygold772 I'm sorry you're struggling with this too :c And thank you very much for the advice! 💗 I don't know what I'd do without such apps (I used them even before tinnitus or when my tinnitus was barely hearable)! The sounds sometimes cause me sensory overload (because rain + campfire+ brown noise work the best for me in combination), but tinnitus is usually even worse, so I'm very thankful for them 🙈 The in-ear tinnitus maskers sound so useful, I'll check them out 🙏🏻 What's your experience with them, please? 🍀

My sciatic nerve & piriformis muscle syndrome are greatly helped with acupuncture & pressure along with Chiropractic care. Only otc pain relief needed occasionally.

I was just thinking, "He should dissect concert injuries next," while taking a look at medical emergencies that took place at live events. Some of them are pretty brutal, so I wouldn't be surprised if they can't be analysed.

I had Sciatica attacks off and on during my pregnancy; there's nothing quite like having to crawl to the bathroom with a huge belly 😵‍💫

I legit was waiting for James Hetfield's pyrotechnics mishap. It's a super infamous story for metalheads in my area, since they had to last-minute cancel the following shows. Having now seen Metallica live myself and knowing the story, it was actually kind of amusing (in an inside-joke sort of way) to notice that James was N E V E R within 20ft of a pyro during the entirety of the 2-day concert. You can tell when some were going to go off because he stood in a very particular spot every time.

Hah, I don't blame him for sure! I remember, years ago (07, 08) there was a slow motion show that had James Hetfield on, and they lit a pyrotechnic at some form of meat as a reenactment. At first Hetfield was like "you want to recreate the most traumatic day of my life?" Or something similar, but then was like "hell yeah" and ran out with barbeque sauce. All that is to say, it sounds like he can joke about it, which is nice

[@EpicFailLawlKat]

@@HappyKittens 🤣🤣🤣 That's one of the most hilarious responses I can imagine, and totally befitting him. Thank you for lodging that in my memory banks forever now.

Another band to check out injury wise would be a metal band called Slipknot. One member broke both ankles on stage, they set themselves on fire, and many other things on stage. They also did crazy things while recording their albums, for instance, Iowa.

I also had a labral tear of the right hip from a few years ago, I’m actually in recovery from surgery for it right now. It’s slow and painful but I’m surprised at the speed of my recovery! Fully feel for Gaga, the pain of that initial tear and the subsequent pain you deal with daily as a result absolutely sucks.
