Today I received @bioxcellerator_ mesenchymal stem cell injections in almost every joint in my body, I don’t like needles at all especially long ones that go deep into the joint but it’s worth every bit of the agony. I had fluid still lingering from my ankle and knee surgeries last week so they had to drain the fluid prior to injections which added a little extra pain to the game. The irony behind getting hurt is tough because you have to fight pain with pain or you will never get better, if I knew this as a kid I might of opted to follow another path but it’s way to late for that haha @doctor_alejo @dianis747 @joeygranath 📷📹

16 years ago today I was given permission by the Chinese government to jump over their sacred Wall. The amount of stars that aligned for this to happen still make it seem surreal to me. Jumping the wall was one thing but putting this together was a task that almost seemed impossible, it was pretty much a fantasy when I first came up with the idea. The orchestration of this project was much more complex that the physical achievement itself and I will forever be so proud of pulling this off. Thank you @dcshoes , Bob McKnight @apothe_kari @rydenway @odea.mary @darrylfranklin @secrethandshake @carampworks and Bill Nosal for believing in me @blabacphoto ♥️🙏
Was it all worth it? common question I’m frequently asked, my answer is ABSOLUTELY !!!! Not sure if you can see what’s going on here but this is a CT scan of my neck showing loss of curve, 2 crushed discs C5-7, bone spurring and serious narrowing of the spinal canal. This is one of the many situations I’ve had to deal with most of my adulthood/ career with no tangible solution. I did this hitting the sandbar surfing when I was 18. I’ve accepted the injuries that western medical has no cure and just kept charging with the fuck it why would I turn back now, full speed ahead till the wheels fall off mentality. We are all human regardless of the mindset we develop to manage pain and bodily dysfunctions. The reality is eventually the consequences that come with living a reckless risk taking lifestyle catch up with all of us. I have been pushing myself beyond the physical safe zone since I started to walk and once I discovered vehicles it was really on. Not all of my injuries have been from skateboarding but an accumulation of all the physical passions I’ve pursued with no reservations to ever play it safe, all in always. I don’t ever want to slow down so I’m doing everything can to keep it going. This neck injury is just one on my list that I’ve been praying for medical science to figure out along with other injury dilemmas which include severe cartilage degeneration in both of my knees and one of ankles. My only alternatives prior have been fusing C5-7 and total knee and ankle replacement. @bioxcellerator_ has had major success with disc and cartilage regeneration using their progressive approach to stem cell therapy. It all seems too good to be true but we are limited in the USA to what the FDA will allow/endorse which minimizes our access to the most groundbreaking medical discoveries to date. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to travel abroad for medical treatment and it won’t be the last. I plan to share the results from this joint regeneration exploration and hope I can share with others in need and provide hard data on the most cutting edge treatment solutions that actually work. I’ve decided to just turn my athletic career into one big experiment.
It’s inevitable I would find my way back to the surgery table and despite the dark side of these operations it’s nice to find some light with a little humor. This challenge with @steveo and I started off as a friendly competition and has evolved into to a globally renowned professional sport with league regulations and crowning titles. I have nothing but respect admiration for the reigning champion “The King Of Pain” and his undisputed title for the last 5 years. With the unpredictably of injuries it’s impossible to forecast when these events will be scheduled and or sanctioned by the doctors of the AOO (Anesthesia Olympics Organization). After getting smoked by Steve in 2016 I finally have a shot at a comeback and the time to beat is #15seconds .. I’ll be posting my results tomorrow, stay tuned #anesthesiachallenge #synergyorthopedicspecialists @bioxcellerator_ 📹 @tommycaudill
We couldn’t visit Medellín without hanging with @davidgonzalez 🇨🇴 @steveo
Yesterday’s treatments were tough to endure but the aftermath is even more painful. It’s expected and actually a good sign if your joints swell up and hurt really bad post the injections, that means the cells are integrating and doing what they are supposed to do, they say if this doesn’t happen that could be a sign of potentially a weaker outcome. @rampage4real and I literally in need of some wheelchair assistance🦽 @bioxcellerator_

What a week of intense treatments!! I was a little dazed from propofol in this clip but I just had 8 discs C2 -T2 and the facet joints injected with mesenchymal stem cells, this procedure is very precise considering how close to the spinal cord these needles get so they had to put me under for this one. I have severe degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis which is a result of a life time of countless whip lashes, continuously smashing my head into the ground, a dozen knock outs and a life changing almost career ending spinal cord injury. This @bioxcellerator treatment has had success with the regeneration of disc height and damaged facet joints. I’m so happy to finally have some light here instead of fusion which I was never going to do regardless of the constant pain that is 24 hours a day 7days a week. I’m sure that anyone else here who has these issues can relate because you never get a break from the pain, there is constant pressure against the spinal cord from the narrowing of the spinal canal and or from the discs collapsing putting pressure on the nerves that branch out between the facet joints. This disease really has a severe impact on the quality of life and the ones living it know exactly what I’m talking about. I have been documenting every bit of these procedures, interviewing the doctors, therapists even the scientists who work with the stem cells in the lab, We have been gathering amazing content and I cannot wait to tell a real in depth compelling story from all this. @bioxcellerator_ @dr_spine_spain

Last week I had a shot at @steveo AKA “The King Of Pain” at taking his undisputed world title away and won🥇which I will be posting soon. Steve wasn’t too thrilled that I prevailed without an opportunity to defend himself. Who would of known we’d have an opportunity for a rematch with the same judges and with all regulations equally enforced present itself in such a timely manner. Stay tuned for this one 😂
This was today’s post surgery follow up appointment with my surgeon @tal.david.md . Didn’t know I had another blown ACL till Dr. David discovered it while inside my left knee joint prepping for the mesenchymal stem cell injections. The prepping strategy included removing bone chips, bone spurs, cartilage debris and micro fracturing the cartilage surfaces in places that are bone on bone. I had no idea how I blew out my knee again, it’s crazy to have built up the kind of pain tolerance where I’m not feeling the extent of my injuries, I don’t recall when it happened and haven’t noticed any extra discomfort beyond what I’m already used and I’ve been skating or surfing quite a bit, this is the 5th time ACL tear on the same knee. Pretty bummed to find that out along with having a fractured wrist that will not heal without surgery. I know I will overcome my injuries with the @bioxcellerator_ treatment protocol along with my motivation to maintain my training regiment, it only makes me that much more inspired to use this as fuel to make my way back to doing what I love. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ @totalgym1974
