Dr. Eric Broadworth gives an update on his status after back surgery for a herniated disc at L4L5 which involved a hemilaminectomy and microdiscectomy.

I did not realize I would get emotional during this video and recapping this 8 month journey.

It hasn't been easy the past year but I have noticed good progress overall and continue to make improvements at getting stronger and getting back to being active.

I'm mostly pain free although I notice definite asymmetries and tightness that I continue to work on weekly. I really focus on my recovery just as much, if not more so, than my activity level.

I apologize for the poor audio since it was taken from the computer and not the yeti mic that I use which was on but I didn't realize the audio was set on the computer.

I am leaving this video raw and uncut. I do have a sense of embarrassment being this vulnerable but I believe it's important for people to see the toll that trauma can have on the body, not just physically but mentally and emotionally.

Overall, I'm getting better each day.
