Dr. Bikash Parajuli, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in Orthopedics and Traumatology, joins the podcast for an in-depth conversation about sports injuries, cycling injuries, gym injuries, back pain, spine health, and modern orthopedic surgery. He explains the risks involved in adventure cycling, common cycling injuries, runner’s knee, leg strength and longevity, pinched nerves, finger cracking, and the difference between good pain and bad pain during training. The conversation also explores David Goggins’ knee problems and what athletes can learn from extreme endurance figures such as James Lawrence, Jonas Deichmann, and Dean Karnazes. Dr. Bikash discusses what causes gym injuries, how cyclists and lifters can reduce injury risk, habits that support spine health, warning signs people should not ignore, and why forceful neck cracking can be dangerous. On the surgical side, he shares unique orthopedic cases involving bone lengthening, complex treatment, 3D surgical models used to prepare for difficult procedures, and common fears around back pain surgery and paralysis. He also explains how orthopedic surgeons approach complex cases and how technology can improve surgical planning. This episode brings together sports medicine, orthopedic surgery in Nepal, adventure cycling, injury prevention, spine care, knee pain, cycling safety, and practical lessons for runners, cyclists, gym-goers, and anyone who wants to stay active for the long term.
