hey guys today we’re gonna talk about

referred pain now what is referred pain

basically it’s pain that is coming from

a different location than you hurt so

for example if you step on a dog’s tail

he’s gonna bark through his mouth right

you’re not gonna mess with the mouth

they’ll take the pressure off the tail

but for this video I’m gonna actually

use a volunteer here so Jared thank you

for coming up here all right I tell you

what let’s have you stand right there

okay Wow looks like I didn’t quite get

that right they’re a little off-center

there okay the first thing is the

pancreas the pancreas is an organ

let’s see in right through here pancreas

is right underneath the left ribcage

right through here and it comes actually

even crosses over sometimes so it’s

right here if you have inflammation in

your pancreas it can be referred to the

left shoulder or the back okay right

through in here or it doesn’t

necessarily have to be referred it could

just hurt right over the pancreas right

there now the gallbladder which is the

opposite side right underneath the

ribcage right through in here will

usually refer pain to the shoulder area

right through here there’s a little

muscle called the levator angle a

scapula muscle and it’s this people will

just kind of want a massage on the right

trap but it’s really this tiny little

muscle right through and here that

raises up the shoulder like this and

that’s where you’ll normally get it so

be a tight not to be painful this is

gallbladder for sure and also be the

what’s happening is that there’s a

little nerve that goes underneath the

diaphragm okay and that nerve is called

the phrenic nerve and it goes all the

way to the neck the cervical vertebra

like see three four and five so some of

these nerve roots make up something

called the phrenic nerve so you can have

pain in the right side of your neck

right through in here

it can even refer to the right temple

through here and the jaw and cause a

headache on this side pain could be

right through in here okay and you can

even create tension in your neck and

pull out the vertebra to one side and

pinch the nerve and cause pain anywhere

down the right arm I’ve seen that all

the time even to the fingers right

through

now the liver is right through in here

if the liver is inflamed or congested or

not working that can cause pain also in

the right shoulder but primarily it’s

going to be in this muscle right through

in here the rhomboid on the right side

now over here we have the spleen which

is just underneath the ribcage so the

pancreas and the spleen is right here

that can cause pain on the left shoulder

right through in here and the heart is

just off the midline right through in

here and by the way the hearts the size

of your fist and that will cause pain

down the left arm right through here it

can cause pain in the shoulder or even

the jaw on this side now put your finger

on your belly button okay good so his

prostate is right down here that can

refer pain to the back side now if you

had ovaries what will happen is it’ll be

just to the left or just to the right of

the of that area right here that will

cause pain in what’s called the

sacroiliac joints so the sacroiliac

joints on the right side on the left

side there are little joints that

connect the pelvic bone to the sacrum

right here so to be right here and right

here so if you have pain on the right

side your female that would be the right

ovary paying the left side right here

that could be the left ovary and if

you’re a male and you have a prostate

the pain can be right in the lower back

right through in here now there’s also

something called sciatica pain and that

is pain that runs down the back of the

leg and go all the way to the lower part

of the foot that’s coming from a pinched

nerve either in your back or one of the

muscles in your butt you have several

muscles there and one is called the

piriformis and that can go into a spasm

and tighten up the nerve and cause

sciatic pain on that side sonic pain

usually comes from either a tailbone

injury some injury to the lower back or

prolonged sitting where you lose the

curve of your lower back in which case

you need to actually put that curve back

in and the last organ we’re talking

about is the kidney okay so the kidneys

are located here in here okay and the

kind of the upper abdomen deep inside so

in the back if you have 12 vertebra

right through in here and you have the

12th rib the kidneys are like just right

underneath that right here

and right here so if there’s a problem

with the kidney whether it’s a kidney

stone or inflammation your kidney you

can have pain anywhere

underneath the last 12th rib to the

spine it’s this little triangle right

here somewhere in the upper back on this

side or this side right here now if

there’s a kidney stone that dislodges

from either kidney that goes down to

through the little tube called the

ureter on its way to the bladder this

would cause pain in the groin area so

the problem is not in the groin it’s

actually in the ureter that little tube

there now the thing to know about

referred pain is they don’t know a lot

about what causes referred pain where it

could be some type of problem with the

nerve circuitry or some soft tissue

whether it be fossa or ligament or a

tendon or muscle so the next point I

want to talk about is what percentage of

the population has referred pain versus

pain that actually is coming from the

actual pain source so the answer to that

is it’s a large percentage I would guess

to say that 50 60 percent of the pain

that an average person has is referred

from another area of the body especially

if you hadn’t had any injury at all to

an area and you start hurting for no

reason then suspect it could be referred

now there’s a couple of foundational

things that you need to do if you have

referred pain obviously involves an

organ and that organ usually has a

problem because the person’s diet is not

good so you can treat this area over and

over and over and even get rid of the

pain but it’s gonna keep coming back

until you fix the diet now if you’re not

new to my channel you know what the

solution is but if you are someone that

is new to the channel there’s two things

you need to do healthy keto and in a

minute fasting both of these actions

together can help clean up these organs

and actually help to give them a rest

because you’re going to be doing in a

minute fasting and you’re going to find

the inflammation is going to go way down

the organ is going to eventually heal

and you’re going to be out of pain now

as far as myself I

head right shoulder pain for 12 years

and I did not make the connection

between my gallbladder and this right

shoulder I would get massages I would

get chiropractic treatments and it would

last for a nanosecond and it kept coming

back little did I know it was related to

my diet and after I eventually found you

know in a minute fasting and did that

I’ve had absolutely no pain in that

right shoulder for years but usually the

person will swear it was from an old

injury that they had and that’s what’s

responsible for it but it’s really

related to their diet so if you’re not

on healthy keto and in a minute fasting

do yourself a favor and try it and see

how much it can help you and the very

last thing I want to say is that if you

go to a practitioner and you get treated

and you need repeated treatments over

and over and over for months and months

and months suspect that there is this

situation going on in your body and

isolate the area that you have focus on

that and ignore this because this is the

symptom this is the cause all right
