is going on out here my sweaty forget about sciatic pain daniel strauss you've
gone through
some fucking pain dude you are defying science and doctors and that they were
telling you it was over
yeah tell everybody the whole story put this bring this sucker up here how the
story goes uh i was
out one night buddy of mine was having trouble needed somebody to go out with
him so i was around
the city that night and um after taking him home we were leaving the highway as
it split off i was
coming around was you on a bike yeah i was on a bike so and i had a passenger
so what was called 826 is
the highway as it splits off to 95 i was going around 826 now here's the tricky
part don't really
remember what's going on from there right so the what me and the passenger
remember we were hit
from either the side or from the back um but coming around the bend boom coming
around got pushed into
the wall i woke up under the uh guard rail can't move you know uh nobody else
is there and the car is
gone there was not really a witness there until like later pulling up behind us
so it fucked me up for a
well i mean fucked me up right now but you know uh getting back to just what it
is the body's healing
and so what was the extent of your injuries all right so uh i had um in my c4
five and six uh i had
contusions on my spinal cord and half of my on the left side of my spinal cord
it was uh pressure so bad
that had like shut down my whole nervous system like all my body so uh am i up
in my neck and then
my middle of my back was just compressed a lot of the swelling and that's what
uh caused a lot of the
you know not being able to walk not being able to feel the nervous problems
nervous system that i have
or the nervous uh issues that i had so what did they do to fix it i've been
rehabbing uh they wanted
to do surgery right away but how many months ago was this this was in december
this was december 17th so
um they wanted to do re uh they wanted to do uh surgery immediately you know
and i'm trying to tell
them like no i'm i'm trying to fight again blah blah what kind of surgery fusing
it uh that's what
they wanted to do they wanted to go in take the i think the i want to say the
three to the five or
four to the six or something fuse that all together which obviously there's no
rain that's and it's a
big spot so uh wasn't trying to have that looked uh for we looked for you know
a couple rehab places
and eventually got hooked up with a place called uh near fit 360 so i've been
rehabbing there since
the accident and i mean it's where's that where's near it's in it's pinbrook pines
florida close to
miami uh great crew um but yeah they've been getting me back in the game i've
been uh i was
doing that extensively uh every day for like two days a week two hour or a
couple hours a day
you know two two three times a day what kind of shit did they do for your neck
uh for more for me first we had to start with um you know just um the fine
motor stuff
touching feeling you know i had problems worse my sensitivities so like you
wake up under the
guardrail you know you guys don't remember what happened when you wake up in
the hospital
what did they tell you before they got to all this stuff they were like
oh did you walk could you feel could you like how were you when you woke up for
me um when i woke up
boom yeah so back to the story when i woke up when i woke up
so i woke up and uh you know i had my helmet on but i couldn't move my legs
um my passenger had went over top she had uh hurt her hand so she wasn't like
extremely but she had
went out too so i couldn't really feel nothing could see nothing i was just
telling them to get
my helmet off get my helmet off finally a truck had pulled up and uh seeing
that we were
in an accident and they what they shouldn't shouldn't do but pulled me out and
uh yeah
because i was you know i'm not supposed to touch anybody just hey get me out of
here get me out
right you know i was freaking out they pulled me out from under it and uh you
know going to the
hospital that whole the scary part was was knowing nothing was broke but not
being able to feel
nothing trying to wipe my face or trying to grab something and you just couldn't
move your arm at all
in my head in my head i move my leg i move my arm nothing's going on you know
what i'm saying so
you're thinking you're paralyzed i'm gone it's a rap like paul williams yeah i'm
right just like
yeah right so i get to the uh hospital finally uh you know they're trying to
work on me and uh seeing
the doctors he's telling me well you know because of my neck it's unlikely that
i'll be you know walking
anytime soon you know a couple days couple weeks go after that you know just
banging out i'm and in the
meantime i'm trying to explain to him i'm an athlete i know you see this i've
been through this you know
type of incident before you know i grew up wrestling i'm from cincinnati grew
up wrestling so i've had neck
problems for fuck my whole life you know what i mean and uh so i'm trying to
explain to him like uh you know
chill out just give me some time let me let me work something out i don't want
to do the surgery
right now i really want to they wanted you to do it in the hospital right right
after the accident
right then and there there's no other you know there's no other choice you're
never going to walk
again do you want to go back to them right now and go hey motherfucker look
look who's walking around
you already know you know what i mean and it's been like that majority times in
my career where i've
done something something's happened oh you're not going to be able to do this
you got me fucked up
bro he was hitting pads with me at the gym yesterday the guy's been sparring
this happened in
fucking december it's insane it's just insane well it just makes me sick that
they always want to
cut you immediately when it comes to those things any any kind of bulging disc
issue they want to
get in there and it it's hurtful to us because you know i understand they got a
job to do but
do your job right you know what i mean like they have one method yeah yeah the
one method is
cutting cutting cutting so um but yeah like i said i was uh rehabbing at neurofit
360 which is a
which is a great physical therapy place down there in pembroke primes and uh
you know i've been
getting back with uh you know they had me strengthening my neck which is small
exercises like i said i
started with fine motor stuff well i had to work on a lot of balance stuff you
know um you ever
fucked with that iron neck thing you ever used that thing yet no i have not
used i got one out here
if you want to mess around with it it's fantastic the thing's fantastic so you're
six months out now six months out when did you start walking again it took me
uh like even now
i'm still like trying to get the form right but uh it took me about three
months
because you like re-learned how to tie your shoe yeah we learned how to tie
your shoe yeah my hand
my motor like my hand wasn't moving as right it wasn't working as good um it's
just everything
slowed down for me because of them because of my spinal cord so wow you know
that is the most
for me was the scariest part because i was everything so unsure you know what
the most
recent mri when did you get a have you gotten one uh got one about a month and
a half ago
and what does that look good it looks good all the swellings went down um the
left side is clear
uh the only way i can explain it there's two there's two two lines white lines
and it gets blocked you
know what i'm saying that's where the fluid's coming down my left side of my on
the fluid was
being blocked so now i'm having a clear line of fluid going down my spinal cord
so now it's just about
healing yeah which you know i've been working and that's the the part to
overcome you know the healing
part the the neurological part and the nerves and all that part that goes with
it it's the body that
can only there's not too much that i you know can do to to heal this other than
you know eating right
all the simple shit but it's the body that's healing but it's crazy that you're
sparring
yeah i do a lot of things i shouldn't do now you're sparring with friends so
you know that
everything's going to be cool i mean good training partners i would right i was
born uh down at henry
who's um okay h kickboxing was training down there um so you know i live in for
a lot of those so
you know that's you know working out with those guys you know no one's out
there to hurt me or
right right try to get me hurt or injured everyone's had a lot of respect and
they're happy yeah love
seeing me back so i've never been in a situation where i'm trying to go super
hard not yet but i love
you too anybody you can get it let me know we can get it so are you when you
hitting the bag or
hitting paths you feel like you have full strength or um no you know and that's
the thing that i'm
that i'm excited about i'm a broken toy that is dying to be fixed you know what
i mean because i'm
a brand new you know i could be fixed in any way like i'm relearning everything
i'm not you know
it's not like i can't box it's not like i can't wrestle but it's now just relearning
the
you know the mechanics of it your brain knows how to do it but your body's got
to relearn it
exactly wow and it's like the nerve the nerve stuff is on the the right side of
your body right
right it's like the muscle memory coming back even yesterday i was holding pads
from like his jab was
a little weak and like his his uh lifting of his foot or whatever the thing we
were trying to do but
once as we were doing it once he felt the right way to do it then he could
repeat it you know what i mean
yeah i think that's a lot so there's a lot to do that and it's big for me man i
really want to be
back in in the cage by the end of this year really you know what i mean i i
want to be fighting by the
end of this year and it's not impossible well you got a great attitude man this
idea that you love it
that you're a broken toy and you're going to rebuild it and fix it and it's
exciting for sure what gives you
an opportunity to kind of start again i mean that's been my whole life my whole
life so i'm just there
again at this point in my career and unfortunately this had to happen for me to
turn the corner and
get focused in another way but you know it's just what it has to be but it's so
exciting that you have
this attitude that's the that's the cool thing about it it's like you're not woe
is me you're like hey
i'm gonna i'm gonna rebuild i'm gonna get right back in there yeah man i mean
you must be so
excited that you could just do everything again yeah you know what i mean like
first was finding out
what worked had to make sure the dick worked first and i was like all right we're
cool
and you know the first you know first couple months was just brutal you know
not being able to work
my ass right not being able to eat and this did it slowly start to come back
where you got like some
motion it did well and i've had um a lot of uh i think it's stenosis i think
spinal stenosis yeah from
wrestling for for years you know what i mean so of course um do you do any
decompression i do a little
bit here and there whenever i can get to the uh chiropractors i'm doing some or
you know it's like
i said it's been bad for years so have you seen that thing you hook up to your
neck and you hang
it from a doorway yeah i don't like to stretch it no i don't like those i do
the same thing with a
rolled up towel or ha
