Summary
Jeremie met Terry where all deep, life-altering connections begin: half-naked in a sauna, trying not to die of heat stroke. What started as a sweaty convo about testosterone turned into one of the most jaw-dropping pain stories we’ve ever heard. Terry's been battling chronic pain since the age of nine thanks to a rare hip disease that left his femur more hammerhead shark than ball-and-socket. He’s survived countless surgeries, dealt with decades of ignorance around pain management, and got hit by a car after finally getting relief from his first hip replacement. Oh yeah—he’s also the President of the Chronic Pain Association of Canada. This episode is for anyone who's ever been told they're “too young” for real pain, who’s had their suffering questioned, or who just wants to hear a badass 64-year-old tell it like it is—with a body that creaks louder than a haunted house and a sense of humour sharper than a surgical scalpel.
