- After a few weeks of waiting I was finally able to get in to see a specialist about my knee!!! I learned a lot about what's going on internally, unexpectedly got a shot in my knee (first time ever) and discussed next steps.
Thank you SO much for following along on this journey with me and for all of the kind words! I'm so appreciative of everyone checking in on me and will continue to keep you updated.
For anyone local to the Tampa Bay area, I highly recommend Dr. Jeff Sellman at the Florida Orthopaedic Institute!

Need more doctors like him, he is awesome 👌 and wish you a speedy recovery young lady, keep smiling too its a beautiful sight to see 😊❤
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. You do such a good job of informing and educating and being a thoughtful, kind human being. I’ve found cortisone injections provide sweet relief. I hope it works for you. Good luck.
Chelsea, you do not need make-up, you are a very attractive woman.
You nailed it. She's one of those one of 100,000 women that actually probably looks better without makeup than she does with makeup.
I 100% agree she is super attractive She’s a cutie.
I'd marry Chelsea in a heartbeat, she's gorgeous inside and out. ❤
Damn right, she's beautiful with no makeup.
I am sorry folks but it’s not about whether or not any of you think she needs make-up (I agree she doesn’t need it). It’s about what makes her feel better in her skin and if she feels she needs make-up then she’s gonna wear it! As far as I am concerned she’s beautiful with or without the make-up! The thing that really counts though is she’s just as beautiful, if not more so, on the inside!
Yeah Chelsea I'm a parent of a 27yr old daughter and 20 yr old son. Very proud of them as a parent. I just came across ur channel. And am very proud of you not letting peeps opinions stopping you from you being you. Keep it going you are reaching out to folks. This will give them inspiration also to be themselves.Take care
Congrats Chelsea on 100k subscribers!!!! You deserve it with the brightest smile online!
Bingo! If they converted her smile to electricity, she could power a major metropolitan city! 🌞
Your doctor was a total professional and he gave you one of the smoothest injections I have witnessed and yes I had a shot of cortisone in my shoulder. Hope that you feel better soon 👍👍
You're awesome and so is Dr Sellman 🙂 He's one of the good guys. Please keep us informed!
I hope your knee recovers. I had a knee scope on my right knee two years ago. I had torn meniscus, cartilage and arthritis in my right knee. The surgeon cut out the junk and now my knee is bone on bone. Sometimes I still have pain, but I put on my knee brace and I do the best I can. I do a lot of walking on my job. Your videos are very inspirational. God bless you and your family.
Taking care of your body as much as you can is super important! A lesson I learned the hard way with MS.
So glad you have found such a wonderful Doc, hope his search for PT is fruitful! Keep your chin up, never quit, never give up!!!
Congrats on 100,000 subscribers! Well deserved! I've been to enough doctors to tell within a couple minutes that he was going to be a good fit for you and I'm very happy that you came out of your appointment satisfied! Please keep us updated!
You are going to feel so much better with that shot. Again you’re an amazing person and are doing so much for awareness. Such a beautiful lady inside and out it seems.
Get better soon Chelsea 🙏🏼❤️
We’re all pulling for you to get healed up soon. Stay strong 🦾
I am so happy for you that you found Dr. Sellman! He seems like a very kind and knowledgeable Ortho and I hope he can help you strengthen your muscles around your knee joint and everywhere else to avoid injuries in the future. Keep up your positive vibes as you always do! We are all cheering for you. Hi from Orlando, Florida!!! You were in my "neck of the woods"!!!!
You continue to do great work Chelsea. You help me with facing my physical challenges. Thank you and peace.
BE WELL CHELSIE BEAR.🤩🤩🤩💙💙💙
Hey, I love your shorts and vids! Your my favorite yter ever! Keep up the work.
Thank you so much!!!
@@realchelseabear yw!:)
He is so awesome he made you feel at ease with him I love doctors like that I hope this takes care of your problems you remember you have to get the shots so often
Me too! Feeling very grateful to have found him and optimistic about next steps!
That's awesome Chelsea bear it's hard to find the right doctors anymore and I'm glad you found a good one
It definitely seems that you're in good hands with Dr. Sellman. Definitely stretch your quadriceps muscle to reduce the inflammation underneath the kneecap. Everything you spoke of in this video is sound advise Chelsea. Looking forward to you getting better on this path of recovery. 😃👍
You mentioned in the beginning about no make up on!? Chelsea, you're a natural beauty Queen! Seriously! I bet most people in here will agree! You're a knockout! I know the feeling of going to the doctor's and you have to explain your condition to them. I have Arthrogryposis , yeah...the usual response is, Arthur who? It's where some muscles never developed like on my shoulders, biceps, and arms are bent. I walk with a swing to my step! I figured things out! When I was born, the doctor's told my parents I would never walk or live past my teen years, I'm 60...I think I showed them something! Yes I CAN! My way!! Like you, we got this!! Those shots do work, I've had several! We don't really know each other, but I'm just as proud of you! You're awesome and naturally beautiful!! With, or without make up! You're fantastic!❤
Thank you for the videos you make, you are a huge inspiration . i have a son 8½ years old with Cerebral palsy ..
God bless you.
So glad to see you are progressing and know a lot more about what to do!
me too! thank you!! 🤩
A personable Doc like that makes the visit easier 👍🏼.
I'm so proud of you, thank you for sharing your story. Bless your heart ❤️
thank you so much!
You don't need makeup. I've got arthritis in my knees too. Not fun. Had my share of Cortisone shots 😂😂. Glad you found a doctor you can trust. Take care and have a blessed and safe day and I'll see you on your next video
So good seeing you again 😊 and super impressed with how you didn’t even flinch when that needle said hello to your knee 🤗
Stay Strong 💪🏼
Hi Chelsea, I think you got really lucky with Dr. Sellman. He was great at relaxing you and seemed very easy to talk to. ( he was pretty funny at times too ) Your knee issues sounds a lot like my sister and some of my friends, where they need to do regular stretching and exercise to loosen things up. Also sounds like finding a stretching therapist might help you to keep progressing. Thanks for sharing your journey. You seemed so much happier after your visit with Dr. Sellman. Good luck ! 🌟
I can’t imagine dealing with something like cerebral palsy at our age… you are a badass!!
I was born with severe flat feet that stopped me from walking… basically at all, and had them surgically corrected at 16(bilateral ankle implants) then broke my back at 19….and at 21… first deadlifting 405lbs, then trying to save the life of a bariatric patient who was closer to 500lbs and basically DOA… and I lifted terribly blowing 3 discs on top of the one disc I had already injured, crushed my nerve, chipped bone 🙄…THEN I hurt my neck and developed scoliosis in my upper thoracic…. It took 11 surgeries and 2 internal components to relieve the pain… to a tolerable amount, so I can try to rebuild some semblance of a life.
I can see your strength and perseverance while smiling through the pain and BS… it gives me strength to stop feeling sorry for myself and keep grinding❤ keep up the great work and know we care and are cheering for you:) you are beautiful;)
No make needed ever Ms. Chelsea Bear! Your personality amplifies your natural beauty!
Thanks for the update👍 keep us posted 🙏 Blessings 🙏
Chelsea, you are a brave and wonderful person. All the more reason of keeping an open door to see
your positive attitude toward your specific problems. With your positive response to the unknown, you
and your determination will get you through. Good luck dear and take care. x♥
Right, you really don’t need makeup. You have natural beauty 🎉 great doc, also!
Bless you Chelsea. You are dealing with the same things that my late wife went through. Thank you for sharing your life with CP. I'm sure it will help people to see the everyday things that people with CP go through. Bless you dear.❤
Thank you so much, and I'm sorry for your loss! ❤
@@realchelseabear I have cp two I hope you feel better
Lots of really good advice for people with CP. Good to start these things early. I am 66 and also have CP.
Ask your physical therapist to incorporate glute bridges and other glute activation stuff into your routines; those are protective against knee injuries. When you start wanting to directly strengthen your knee muscles, begin with the last few degrees of knee extension (called 'terminal knee extension'; you can do terminal knee extensions laying down with your knee atop a foam roller or standing up with a miniband around your knee (the other end of the band would be attached to some sort of support)), as the knee muscles (quadriceps femoris) are strongest in these last few degrees of knee extension and are weaker at earlier motions in the range of motion.
-Someone who's had multiple knee surgeries (to repair a torn ACL and torn lateral meniscus) and loves to geek out about physical therapy
I’m so relieved you got a good doctor! Even here in the U.K. is so hard to find one that has even the slightest knowledge of CP!! And I hate it when they give you a check up and your muscles are all tight and they tell you to relax but your legs are like… nope not today haha!
All in all I’m relieved for you, it’s exhausting as it is having CP, never mind explaining to to doctors or even trying to find a PT that understands and has enough knowledge to help. There’s just not enjoy knowledge for older adults with CP out there, specialists are few and far between to!
You have God given natural beauty inside and out! Never no need to apologize for the way you look because God has fearfully and wonderfully made you! Amen 🙏 God Bless!
You go GIRL!!!!👏🙌
My prayers that good 👍 folk’s like you will have a chance for breakthrough technology help your situation.
Get well soon girl
FEEL BETTER BEAUTIFUL
I’m so glad that went really well for you and I’m sure you will do much better now !
Yes Chelsea. Look at the stretch Zone in your area I heard it is pretty good I've got sort of pain It deals with body pain as well As the immune pain. Keep us updated
Just glad you will be ok, and you look relieved about the situation 😘 and keep posting that beautiful smile
I heard what the doctor say hes feel he was playing it to me and not take care of yourself and I think everything worked out for you just keep. On walking keep busy you go to the doctor appointment and just take care of yourself and stay safe.❤
YES, please continue to provide your videos. They are so informative and inspirational. Youre doing great!!
Chelsea, you're awesome! Never forget that!!!!❤❤❤
Hi Chelsea! Some of what you stated today sounded familiar. I knew someone with CP who was well into her 40's and doing well with it. You mentioned stretching and PT and those are the two things that helped her a lot. Also, aqua therapy was great for her because there is no stress on any joints so you get more range of motion, easier. She was religious about her stretching though, I think that helped the most. Hope things go well for you.
100K subscribers, Congratulations!
Get Well Soon!
Thank you so much!!
You're super brave!!
I have CP on my right side due to a stroke. I’m getting wrist fusion surgery tomorrow for my wrists drop. Going to need OT to use my fingers again. Keep it up you are so amazing thank you for sharing your journey.
Tell your doctor, thank you for letting you film and post this!! I have questioned getting a cortisone shot in my right hip but I’m kinda scared! This video made it look like a cakewalk!
Im so sorry about your knee, and the obvious pain you are feeling. To realize youve lived with a broken knee for years is awful. But you now Know the full issues, and some of your treatnent will be your gut feelings about what directiion to take. I believe your kind Dr is a good one. I will.pray for you.
❤
Thanks for sharing! The doctor seemed really friendly, and I am glad to see an update on your knee. As I’m over 30 now, I’m having more pain in my hips and knees too with CP wear and tear. Since becoming an adult, I have had 0 luck with PTs since no one seems to think adults with CP exist. Maintaining our bodies is so much better than trying to correct something later…it’s why I started using my cane much more recently too.
Thanks again and take care!
Hi I have cerebral palsy too and as a 61-year old I find it very hard to find doctors who treat adults. You have to have a good doctor who freezes you first because I had a thumb injection where he didn't freeze it and I will never have another one cuz that was terrible. Chelsea I'm so glad that you had a good experience with your doctor and I hope you feel better soon
Thank you for sharing this information. I had my first injections three months ago and scheduled for my second round next week. I get my both knees and right shoulder injected.
I enjoy watching your channel. I don’t know anything about CP but you explain your situation so we can understand. I think it’s important for us to understand what others are going through. Congratulations on the 100k. I don’t know if your last name is Bear but mine is just spelled differently. Thank you for all you do.
Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery . It looks like you are in good hands
Great job with the injection. Love you positivity. 🤗
You have a wonderful docter God bless him he is a keeper
Prayers babe ❤
Wow, thanks for sharing your journey with CP! As I watch more and more of your videos and others like yours, I am learning that many people with disabilities have a difficult time finding care for their aging bodies, just because there is not a lot of information on aging and disabilities. You're awesome, and keep bringing more content!
four pre-cut pieces of wood for around 5 dollars from any home depot or similar store. use a screw or wood glue to afix the wood blocks onto the legs of the couch. simply permanent fix that's super easy and takes just 5-ish minutes and you don't need any skill or experience.
Thank you for sharing this!! I have wondered how you were doing. I was happy to hear your doctor was able to offer you some good advice and help. Take good care of yourself, looking forward to hearing more.
thank you so much Alan!
Thanks for the update Miss. PT and stretching both will be quite beneficial for the long run. Stay awesome.
Hello Chelsea, I have similar problem. My doctor said its kneecap squeezing due to overload. I shift my weight to one side because of CP. I'm glad You found a good doctor. Take care and sorry for my english 🙂
A True woman You are
All natural, loving and Truth speaking.
Women have fake smiles 😃
Your Smile 😃 is Real
Praying 🙏 for a healing in your knees
God Blessed You n Jesus Name
Amen
A very good doctor glad it's not more severe.. you're a very brave young lady....God Bless
You are one amazing lady, Chelsea.
You're beautiful with makeup........... I'm glad to hear everything is well 😊😊😊
beautiful as ever girl
Atta Girl. Chelsea you are going to be fine knowing what you need to do as far as a brace and etc. I live with chronic arthritis every dy. It does get better.
glad to hear you found a good dr to understand you.. cortizone shots help me too, i get them every 6 months in my left knee. feel better soon my friend!!
You're such a beautiful person both inside and out, CB!!!! Love your videos!!!
Hope you okay and feeling better ❤
100K congratulations my dear. You being yourself is everything xx
Yes thanks for all the enlightening information CBear
You are an inspiration !💕🌸❤️
You have nothing to worry about having no makeup on!!! It sounds like with some work you’ll as active as ever!!! I look forward to seeing your smile in some more videos soon!!!
I am glad for you Chelsea that you found a good Dr. and is offering you some hipe and options.
I truly hope and pray that the cortisone shots work for you. Please dont get disheartened if it doesnt work or doesn't work as well as you hope. The injections did not work for me. But, i do know folks that they worked very well. I pray it works for you.
I truly hope that you know how much you mean to the folks that follow you. Wheather a person has CP or not, you show everyone that a person has two options, sit and feel sorry for yourself or get up and face life and your problems head on, smile, meet life head on and go.
I love you for your attitude, your beautiful smile and genuine personality. I truly hope that life goes the way you want.
God bless you for who you are and what you are doing.
Ty for sharing!
Glad to hear and see your progress. Your are a lovely lady have a wonderful evening.
Chelsea good luck 👍 👍 👍 💪 🙌
Best of luck to you! Funny story? Maybe? My grandfather did not have a kneecap. Back in the good old days, when cars were made from steel and people were still made of flesh and bone, he was in a car accident where his kneecap hit the dashboard and shattered it. They just removed it and sent him on his way!
Wow no way! I didn't know that was possible! Thanks for sharing that with me!
I’m glad your doing well! I hope you get well soon. Good luck 👍
Get well soon Chelsea
You inspired me to go to the doctor.❤
