Serious note, I started watching your videos for the asmr but it was a spinal video from a couple of years ago that made me realise there was something wrong with my daughter's back. We are now 16 months post spinal fusion and with the rate the curvature accelerated, I dread to think how bad it may have got. So came for the asmr and ended up saving my daughter. Thank you :)

[@DrJamesGill]

Wow! Thank you for the message! I hope your daughter is doing well know. I think the spinal surgeons are some of the bravest surgical teams as the precision of their survey has to be impeccable. Take care, and thanks again for sharing this with us 😊

[@zizmares]

Sorry if you feel strange about it but you're the only reliable source of asmr for me. Quite a few medical illustration videos do too, but not the silly ones where people whisper and run their nails over things. I think the cause of tingles is medically interesting, it sure feels strange. Like a blanket of warmth covering you and it comes in waves, inviting you to close your eyes and often times fall asleep. Just because, in my case, someone explains something in a particular way and I get to observe it. It happens in real life too, it takes you over and you look like a weirdo just staring. My mom must have passed it down on me because she experiences it too, just from different triggers I guess you'd call it

[@lanasinapayen3354]

Great description; I almost thought I was the only one. I get the tingles from explanations, not from the soft p*rn that is most of asmr videos. I can get it from reading books, since I was a kid. I think it's specifically from getting an explanation about mechanisms people believe in, even if I don't believe in it, so reflexology videos work too.

I find these videos interesting. I fell on my butt on concrete about 8 years ago. My legs went numb for a few seconds but felt normal again. About 3 years later, my feet and legs up to my knees went almost numb. I can still feel pain and temperature in my legs and feet but I have a constant heaviness in them. Some days are better than others. My doctor can't seem to figure it out. I had an MRI done on my lower back down to my feet but it came back fine. I also had a nerve and muscle study done and it came back normal. I just want to get back to normal.

[@lammin675]

Hi Doctor, you recently answered my question on one of your live streams regarding how you feel about being the patient and putting your trust in other Doctors hands. I found your reply very interesting, you said when you treat other Doctors they give you the information in a different order. In my line of work I have a similar experience and never really noticed before but people definitely jump the gun when they know what you are about to ask and it definitely knocks you off your flow!! Anyway just thought I'd mention it - not sure why! Cheers

[@DrJamesGill]

[@mustafagungoralbayrak6187]

I think while assessing elbow extension and flexion, it is not the best way to do (3:33). And while assessing ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion of ankle and ehl strength, one should precipate the shin throughout examination Btw while assessing scoliosis, you should ask the patient to bend forward, i can say, but not so much, this patient has mild scoliosis (you can understand from difference between shoulders of both sides).
