DSP's back injury: an analysis of a lie.

It is finally done, and yes, it is THAT long. Ever since he started YouTube, DarksydePhil has claimed to have/had a severely herniated disc in his lower back. But did he actually ever have one? Because the many times he's spoken about his back injury (and the things one would expect to be associated with such an injury, like his symptoms, surgery, driving, doing physical things, etc) have been riddled with so many errors and contradictions and lies that make his claims difficult to believe. So, as someone who's had a similar injury in a similar area and had to go through years of treatment and multiple surgeries, I decided to dig deep into the things Phil's said about his back, to sift through the lies and see if I could get to the severely herniated nugget of truth between the R4-R5 vertebrae in DSP's bowel-controlling spine. It seemed like a good way to spend my recovery from spinal fusion surgery at the time, but I was NOT prepared for just how many lies there would be, even considering that it's DSP we're talking about here! ~*~ Ruptured pulposus ~*~ Follow me on Twit-turr: https://x.com/Punished_Steve ~*~ Intervertebral discs ~*~ ALT: ‪@WPIG1651‬ BroSydePhil: ‪@BroSydePhil‬ Dark Dave: ‪@DarkDavesMirror‬ |‪@RawPhil‬ DSP Institute: ‪@DSPInstitute‬ | https://x.com/DspInstitute KhardinthePaint: https://x.com/Khardinthepaint KingjadVCMP: ‪@KingjadVCMP‬ Rebsi: ‪@Rebsi_‬ ~*~ Regions of the spine ~*~ 00:00:00 - Introductory preamble 00:04:22 - Part 1: What even are "discs" anyway? 00:09:28 - Part 2: Analysing "The King is Revealed" 00:26:37 - Part 3: Let's rule out Phil's car crash 00:48:10 - Part 4: The early years (2009 - 2013) 01:31:20 - Part 5: That was my decompression 01:42:10 - Part 6: "Ask the King" eps. 36, 57, 60, and 62 (and "HUGE 2014 news") 02:51:33 - Part 7: Surgery, and why Phil won't have it 03:57:22 - Part 8: Mr. Burnell goes to Washington 04:27:23 - Part 9: So, does Phil have R.L.S. or not? 04:46:25 - Part 10: The first half (ish) of 2018 05:05:55 - Part 11: This meme is stupid and so are you 05:25:14 - Part 12: The second half (ish) of 2018 06:10:50 - Part 13: Lifestyle changes changed my life 06:28:16 - Part 14: The madness that is 2019 07:18:05 - Part 15: We're finally in THIS decade! 07:47:25 - Part 16: Pain, and how Phil talks about it 08:00:37 - Part 17: Getting back (ha!) to 2022 08:23:16 - Part 18: Why Phil won't do physical activities 08:34:35 - Part 19: The last clip run of the video 08:57:29 - Part 20: Everything Phil got wrong and lied about 09:21:10 - Part 21: Wrapping all this up ~*~ REEE-sources ~*~ SURGERY SECTION: Laminectomy: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health...
