Dr Stuart McGill you are a LEGEND........thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!

I take great comfort hearing this. I just quit a game of padel after 20 minutes because I felt the “pre flare” tightness in my left thigh for the first time in months. And didn’t want to continue and probably hurt myself. Hopefully it’s not serious and even if it’s I know I can deal with it.

I wish he or someone could resolve or understand the pain of trigeminal neuralgia that it’s been called « the suicide syndrome « I had 2 gamma knife radiation operation in 10 years , 1 last 6 years the other one 4 years. It’s started again and so fare Accuponcture is a good help , since I am waiting for a appointment with a neurologist to discuss the next step , mean talking a more serious operation , like go true the scalp and put a Teflon piece in between two nerves . Great job and thank you Peter for all good informations you provide to us .

Have you tried Weedborn CBD yet?

[@Hsjfbxgakehucishu]

He doesn't talk about the patients he couldn't help.

[@headholio]

How would that be helpful to you?

[@Hsjfbxgakehucishu]

@@headholio it would show me that not everything can be fixed and wouldn't give me false hope.

[@lucillasallabank]

Nothing works for absolutely everybody.

[@makeshifthouse]

But he never said he can fix everything

[@edwinrodriguez1173]

He wasn't asked

[@Hugh.G.Rection.]

If someone as intelligent as Peter Attia buys into this purely biomechanical model of people’s pain, then there’s no hope for the world.
