Back Pain Sufferer Reacts To MIT Trained Neurosurgeon Quitting His Job And All Spine Surgeries

I was supposed to have lower back surgery for my chronic back pain, but I decided to fire my doctor and heal on my own. Today, I react to Goobie & Doobie's recent video on being an MIT-trained Neurosurgeon and his decision to quit his job for good.

Spinal surgeries account for around 20 billion dollars in the medical industry every year.
Doctors, PTs, and most health professionals are under a lot of pressure to "be productive" and get creative about how to raise the cost per visit and the number of patients seen in a given day.
This opportunity turns you, the back pain sufferer, into a money-making machine.
It's not because of bad doctors, but because of the way the medical model is set up.
Today, I want to share my reaction to a recent video of an MIT-trained Neurosurgeon who decided to quit his job altogether after 20 years as a surgeon.
He said I am stopping ALL Spinal Surgeries completely!
There have been a lot of responses from medical professionals about his decision and viral video, but none from the perspective of an X-CHRONIC back pain sufferer who decided to FIRE his doctor and learn how to heal his back on his own.
Today, I'll share the reality of going against what SURGEONS are telling you and what you can do for yourself to stay off the operating table and live chronic back pain-free.

I can't imagine how difficult those earlier years must've been for you while suffering from chronic back pain. Several years ago, I had a sudden back muscle spasm from picking up my dog and I couldn't sit, stand, or lay down in any position without it throbbing. Trying to fall asleep sucked. It's all you can think about, this nagging, unignoreable pain. And that only lasted for 4 days before it went away, just as suddenly as it came on. I can't imagine life for chronic pain sufferers of any kind... brutal. How amazing that it's something you've been able to overcome 🙌 wishing both you & Dr. Goobie a more peaceful present and future 🌱

[@BurningSky444]

Heartfelt video… well done!! I watched the whole video and I told my son to watch also… Stay well✨✨✨✨

[@Fitness4BackPain]

Thanks for sharing

[@andreavanda5402]

The current Medical model is severely broken and many times causes more harm than good. Thank you for helping people suffering with chronic pain find a different way. I'm going to forward this video to my son who has chronic back pain. ❤

[@dmarti47]

Preach, brother! Your program made me realize so many things about my pain. I am more autonomous and independent now, without relying on external help. I have the tools now. The most challenging part now is having the discipline, and sometime will power, but it’s on me now. Thank you for doing what you do. God bless.

[@PlagueDoc25]

When I was in the military my career had just begun and i got diagnosed with a herniated disc, i couldnt hold back the tears at the prospect of getting kicked out of the military when I wanted to serve for longer because i truly enjoyed it and not being able to get a job anywhere because I was broken and useless (in my words) in any physical sense. I used to be a very positive person but after that and chronic pain it made me very depressed, ive been dealing with this for 4 years now and i just got a job as a janitor after getting out of the military in the beginning of this year so i hope this is the start of an upward trend towards a fulfilling life. edit: im really thankful that i have been reluctant to get surgery for it because i cant imagine making this pain worse or losing range of motion

[@Fitness4BackPain]

Thanks for sharing your story! You can continue to heal and regain your life without surgery.

[@brians2328]

Go to Germany get disc replacement with disc's like Lp-Esp.. I did!!! 3 levels 🇩🇪 💪

[@nesza194]

you are the reason why i got inspired to become my own personal trainer to gain knowledge just like in one of your videos you stated you had to take it into your own hands. i've had pinched nerve in my left leg and dealt with this pain for 6 years finally last year when i joined in your program and it def helped within a month. saw a huge difference and kept going, Already a year in and painfreeee.I know this is prob something id prob have to do the rest of my life but thats okay because Im pretty active and love doing activity things. thank you for the inspiration.

[@Fitness4BackPain]

Glad it encourages you to

[@daillengineer]

sad thing is there are people that NEED the surgery. you cant eat Kale to fix stenosis if you have stenosis so severe that if not fixed surgically, your vertebrae will literally slice the nerve bundle. laminectomy just gave my mom her life back at 70 years old.

[@Serendipity-gj2me]

You are wrong. Diet definitely reduces the inflammation of the body with lumbar stenosis. A clean plant based diet was what helped my mother.

[@daillengineer]

@@Serendipity-gj2me lol sure it did little buddy

The day man realizes that pain is the real healer; their suffering will stop!!

[@dimamedvedev4124]

I am going to watch this again and again with every next flares up. It is motivated a lot though it is very sucked to be constantly in nerve pain

[@abolishnato]

A huge part of the problem is the healthcare system in this country. The system gets people addicted to pain meds and encourages people to get disastrous surgeries that only put them into enormous amounts of debt rather than trying to fix the underlying problem.

[@Fitness4BackPain]

100%

[@MM-qp4pd]

That's what the MIT neurosurgeon Goobie Doobie said

[@keithbyrd7566]

My girlfriend had radiating pain in her lower back and sciatica pain radiating down her legs almost to the point of being immobile. 10 years ago She had a laminectomy. It completely solved the problem.

[@Fitness4BackPain]

This is more of an emergency type of thing where surgery is best. My brother had drop foot due to severe sciatica. A discectomy reversed everything.

[@jillharrell3256]

There are many causes of back pain. Some respond to PT, some don't. Some respond to surgery. Some should not be treated with surgery. No one can make a blanket statement that "their" way is better than another for ALL types of back pain. Some significant back pain IS relieved by surgery. All health care providers need to know their abilities and know their treatments' limitations. There are some very good surgeons who keep working towards new and better procedures and they know who to recommend them to. As well, if you aren't willing to be a part of your own treatment, whatever it is;, and eschew rehab, exercise, healthy living .... unsurprisingly you won't do so well.

[@imveryhungry112]

Sometimes I think we just have to accept some things and do the best we can do. I have severe spine problems from military injuries. The doctors want to fuse my spine specifically me neck. I am really just not convinced it will even make me feel better honestly. I have started going to the gym and doing PT each morning and that has helped a lot. I have just begun to accept that now, at age 42, I wlll have pain. And I just have to do the best I can. And also pray for myself and others more and do meditation. Thanks for your work and you words brother.

[@xrayeyes2023]

Decades ago when my son at age 17, had severe severe back pain . Orthopedic Surgeon suggested to consult the Trainer of the Detroit Tigers then LA Rams. Three days of exercises Voila improved but had to continue exercises prescribed.

[@charmainlovely4674]

Right on! Your suggestions are so valuable. Doctors are just not educated in the western world to address the truth about pain. Thank you!

[@Fitness4BackPain]

Glad it connected with you

[@summerwood619]

I completely agree with you, ( I don’t have a back pain) thank you for making this video, I think all of us should be our own advocate ( mentor) in life ❤from Gilbert, Arizona

[@abudhabi9850]

Haha really mimicking the atmosphere of that video, seeing you were also relentlessly attacked by mosquitos. Btw thanks for the great vid William!

[@Fitness4BackPain]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's definitely mosquito season here!

[@jrose9378]

Hello from NYC! I like your cap, but funny you live in Florida. In response & respect to you, I’ve had some body issues in the past but here in NYC we walk everywhere. The best cure! It takes care of the whole body, which is all connected! As far as exercise, doingTai Chi which is basically stretching, I have found completes the picture. I always feel wonderful! Take care of yourself ❤

[@stevemartin6934]

boy what ???????????? why i had all those procedures that had me in pain and attending????????,,, PTin home and still in pain

[@ditz3nfitness]

He's right about A LOT, but also I disagree with some of it. Some of us get back pain and other diseases, and we have no way of controlling that. Genetics, social arena, nutrition, and more plays a huge role in what diseases you pick up too. So him saying "Just go exercise, live a healthy active lifestyle, and you'll be good and healthy for life" isn't really true. Only to an extent.

[@Fitness4BackPain]

Of course. Pain has many components, layers and complexities that you have to navigate. Exercise is not the solution by itself but it’s far better than surgery (unless you fall into the small % of those who actually need it).

[@ditz3nfitness]

@@Fitness4BackPain Thankfully science develops each and every day, and is constantly moving towards being better and better throughout the years that goes on. Some day, death might even be cured. Who knows?

[@sohailsyed1299]

​@@Fitness4BackPain Surgery should never be the first choice. I can't speak to other surgeons but we have a protocol of encouraging physical activity with graduated exercise, healthy lifestyle changes, physical therapy, and non surgical therapy. And even then many patients who complete those things are sadly still not good surgical candidates.

[@philipcampbell3751]

Any experience with PRP? Its very low risk and good expected benefit but generally not covered by insurance (very convenient) Its your own blood so it does not req FDA approval from what Ive read so very puzzling why it is not recommended and covered by insurance

[@chuckpatterson8374]

Have a sister in law who has that for her knees. I will try that if my good knee starts to go south. Have had a TKR and it’s doing ok but it does slow you down a bit.

[@philipcampbell3751]

Yes it seems more even more commonly recommended for other joints... shoulders, knees, hips.

[@antoniobranch]

"DO THE SIMPLE THINGS FIRST."

[@Pugsrus]

There is a difference if you get a disc that goes central in to your spinal cord you have no choice they insist on spinal sugery. If a disc bulging to the side you can heal naturally. Unfortunately I’ve had caudia equina syndrome twice now. Sometimes you have no choice you have to have surgery to stop you ending up like me. Numb from hips down. So please be clear there sometimes medical emergencies. I don't want anyone ending up like me through not getting help.

[@Fitness4BackPain]

Of course there are ALWAYS outliers. I even say this in the video. My brother was one of them.

[@Pawnlust]

Have you literally healed a bulging disc or just made it asymptomatic?

[@tahlaoui1983]

Prolotherapy have healed my spine

[@gustavovelez6243]

MIT does not offer a residency program in neurosurgery

[@jehanmcleod3006]

His was at MIT for undergrad then he did medical school and residency at Duke , Dr Goobie clarified this in his last video that he posted a few days ago. He said he didn’t want to give away too much info about himself when he first made that video that went viral

[@ronmeza6400]

Look up the biopsychosocial model and let me know if it sounds familiar

[@K4R3N]

You're like the Kneesovertoes guy (Ben Patrick) for lower back issues

[@Fitness4BackPain]

Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing lol

[@K4R3N]

@@Fitness4BackPain it's a good thing. His lessons fixed my knee issues. Hoping the same from your back care lessons!

[@baraclude]

I had chronic backpain for over a decade. My back gave up a couple times that i couldnt walk or move. I don't have the pain anymore. Not really sure what fixed it. I have been sleeping on the floor(tatami) and bought a great pillow. Not sure if that's it.

[@Fitness4BackPain]

I slept on the floor a lot when my back was at it’s worst.

[@angiebutcher4068]

I’m only into 6 minutes of the video and I have Holy Spirit bumps and I am crying! I am in my second extreme bout with sciatica pain, however I DO NOT want a micro discerning or laminectomy. I know God almighty led me to your video…. Ok off to watch the rest. ( it’s late so I might finish tomorrow) 😊 Thank You

[@angiebutcher4068]

Ok watched the whole video and let me tell you to keep spreading this message. I will go to your website and also look up your referenced one goobieanddoobie.. I'm 60 years old and DONE with chronic lower back and sciatica nerve pain and totally believe God led me to your videos.!

[@christiancoder454]

What about scoliosis and cercical injuries? Is exercise recommended before surgery?

[@JordanB-lc4oi]

We all need to quit..asap..

[@davidrf1000]

You seem to come at back pain from a Dr. Sarnos (TMS) / Mind Body point of view with some extras thrown in there. I would like to hear your thoughts on the mind body connection. I am a believer in Dr. Sarnos theory and a believer in Christ as well.

[@Fitness4BackPain]

There’s a lot to unpack on that topic but I will definitely try and share more.

[@brians2328]

Lol quackery

[@imtherealjoeyd]

Thank you for your video! I’ve been looking for confirmation on my situation… I am a believer and you mentioned the Holy Spirit and the rest of your story. Really helped me. The Lord is using you in mighty ways! My story is very similar especially going down the rabbit hole to find the answer just so we can feel better.

[@Fitness4BackPain]

Wonderful! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@angiebutcher4068]

I feel the same!

[@user-oo8ei4lj6s]

We must eat better quality food. Do strengthening excercise, loose weight and destress

[@gotaigo]

Follow the money.

[@Pugsrus]

Unfortunately my spinal sugery was a medical emergency. I developed caudia equina syndrome over 18 months. Nobody knew what was wrong with me. I was operated on and unfortunately nothing changed my nerves were dead through been crushed. I now have thoracic disc bulging central and trying my best to not get sugery. I’ve already lost my bladder and bowel. They say i could be numb from waist down. I am already numb from hips down away. I don’t see the benefits of sugery for me. I'll try to keep myself away from the doctors.

[@grdngodess]

I can only say that acupuncture helped me when I had a chiropractor tell me honestly they could do nothing for my lower back pain. I had acupuncture for almost a year and that was 5 years ago and haven't needed it since.

[@KitPenfold]

Maybe he quit because he had already earned enough to support a comfortable retirement!

[@salvadordubon3549]

Clout chaser!! What is your strategy??? Why haven't you done videos of your strategy?? Now doobbie does his video now you chasing the bag!!! Why didn't you tell your strategy 🤔 $$$
