In my “pretty girl” era 👟👠

loss of resistance ✨

you felt it
you knew it

advanced through the ligamentum flavum
entered the epidural space 💉
pressure drops
plunger gives

that pause
where you stop advancing
and trust your hands 🧠

you know 😏

the john hamm meme may be fading
but loss of resistance never does

Our kids insisted we try this.

the tortilla challenge. 🌮

one of us
took it
a little too far. 😬

temporary facial redness.
permanent friendship.

just for fun.
no real pain management harmed in the making of this video. 😂

please use this technique
on inanimate objects only.
not people.

👨‍⚕️👨‍⚕️😅

Send help 🗣️

me: speaks spanish
patient: just stares

high school spanish only gets you so far… still trying to be professional 😅✈️

2026 is about focus. 🌱

listening more 👂
giving more ❤️
becoming more 💪

to my patients: your voice matters.
to my family: you are my priority.
to myself: integrity, health, and growth above all.

no shortcuts.
no distractions.
just impact.

Can you do this?

multiple specialties.
one balloon. 🎈

the challenge:
don’t pop the balloon with a syringe.

sounds easy…
until you realize the nuance.

angle matters.
pressure matters.
control matters.

there are tricks. 😏

watch closely.
who surprised you?
who struggled?

“why am i still in pain?” 🩹
pain isn’t always ongoing injury.
sometimes it’s irritated nerves,
inflammation, or how the brain processes pain.

“is this permanent?” ⏳
most pain changes over time.
the goal is improvement and function,
not perfection.

“what does my diagnosis actually mean?” 📄
medical terms sound scary.
many describe normal aging,
not damage.

“why didn’t the last treatment work?” ❌💉
treatments test a diagnosis.
when something fails,
it gives us information.

“what are my real options?” 🛣️
meds, procedures, movement,
and sometimes doing less, not more.

“what can i do myself?” 💪
movement, sleep, stress,
and consistency matter more than people realize.

“will i need surgery?” 🔪
most patients don’t.
when surgery is needed,
we talk early and honestly.

“how long until i feel better?” ⏱️
pain improves in steps.
progress looks like better days,
not overnight fixes.

education is part of treatment. 📚

this is how i approach chronic pain.

for clarity, compassion,
and realistic pain care 💙

when your dad and you share the same name…
and the same career 🥼👨‍⚕️

we’re both physicians,
which means:
• hospitals send our paperwork to the wrong office
• endless “are you the real dr. jeff prinsell?” questions

moral of the story:
if you name your kid the same thing…
and they follow your career path…
brace yourself 😅
