If I had a pound for everyone who knows someone who "sorted"their back out when they had a "bad back" lol

Your so pretty..

Here watching at 4 am for the same reason

Absolutely.I've had 3 mostly failed back surgeries, stretches of horrendous pain and other people think it’s the same as their sore back. You really have to be there to know how bad it can be. My back never feels even just OK. I have gutted out some really, really dark years. Never going to be right.

Thanks for the insight. Can you pls enlighten on the results of your surgery & the outcome afterwards. Hope you recovered & not in pain anymore.

Hello! How are you doing now? I just had my surgery 3 days ago!

I’m 21 and faced so much dismissal about my spinal problems - its “not very likely” in young people, so it took a while before I was even diagnosed with sciatica. 2 months ago the nerve pain got so bad I couldn’t sit, stand or walk more than like 5 paces, all I could do was lay in bed. It took collapsing in the street and neurological shakes from the pain for me to get put on some strong meds. I got a private MRI bc I couldn’t face waiting, it showed I had a large herniation with possible compression of cauda equina nerves. It was a huge relief for doctors to start taking me seriously but I’m still waiting for a supposedly “urgent” neuro surgery appointment to see if I need surgery. Thank you so much for sharing your story I feel so much less alone when I hear other ppl talking abt this! So many people have no idea how my condition works.

How are you doing 8 years later?

Hi guys so I see a lot of comments saying they have shooting pain on there legs . I don’t have that but I have a lot of lower back pain usually when I’m sitting or changing movements. I got injured from lifting up a kid that weighed about 90-100 pounds and it’s been currently two months that I’ve been dealing with this pain. It’s been really depressing. I’m hoping to get an mri because I do feel it’s going to be a disc problem

Thank you, encouragement is so nice to hear. Only 5 weeks from mine and dealing with pains here and there and wondered if it was normal. Thnks

2 weeks is not long enough of a recovery process whatsoever for that procedure. Try 8-10 weeks and at least 12 weeks before you really return.

Had 4 fractured vertebrae and two herniated disc, the cervical spine herniation was bulging into my spinal canal, causing me all sorts of problems including collapsing, unable to walk in a straight line etc. The pain after the fractures was unbearable. It’s been 9 1/2 years since my “journey” began. A fusion in 2015 for the thoracic spine and 2017 for the cervical fusion. Years of tests, scans, injections, drs that won’t listen! I just recently got the 8 screws and 2 plates taken out thoracic spine. The screws were in the wrong place and in my intercostal joints for 7 years! The pain!!! I still have 3 herniated discs. 2 due to the extra pressure above and below the fusions. I have permanent nerve pain down both arms and both legs! Plus the muscle and deep bone pain. I hope that your surgery went well and your one of the ones that surgery can change your life. Pain does change your life. It’s constant x i became suicidal after 5 years of pain and I’m lucky to be here

I have 6 herniated disc’s c,t10&11 4,5&s1

I’m at my 2 week post op and I’m having trouble walking on my own it hurts my lower back but I have no more leg pain. Is this happening for anyone else?

My heart goes out to you. I am in the middle of the same thing. A herniated disc, L5 I think! I’ve had the mri & the steroid injection. It took about 4/5, to give some relief. Going to physio and doing the exercises. Giving some relief. There is nothing like nerve pain, I have it running down my right leg. I’m the opposite, I only get relief lying down so can’t walk or sit, drive! Obviously can’t work either. On my back for 5 weeks now. I find swimming great. The best of luck with your surgery 🤞🤞

Can one get better without surgery, only with physical therapy? How long one should give oneself the time to try physical therapy alone before coming to the decision of surgery?

The nhs isn't fit for purpose ,

How do you feel now? I am scared of surgery but I can't live with this pain 😢

How's it going now?

Thank you! I’m experiencing the pain and it’s been a nightmare physically and mentally. Hope you’re doing better!

Wow, where is your accent from?

Hello from the year 2021. I am 2 weeks away from surgery and am so pleased to have stumbled upon your channel. You are very kind and give them great advice. You actually inspired me to post something myself for the first time ever. I hope you are living your best life right now! x

I'm super glad I found your videos. I'm an NHS patient 2 weeks away from L4L5 discectomy. I really resonate with everything you've been through. X

Thank you so much for sharing! It was so great to listen to your videos and read the comments of so many others going through similar things. How are you feeling now? How did the personal training change your journey? I've had pain in my left leg and back for almost 2 years, and I have really been trying to persevere with exercise to relieve it but it's such a roller coaster. I also feel relief when I'm moving, but if I sit or sleep then the pain increases so I just feel like I can never fully rest... So feeling a bit desperate now and considering my options. <3

Get a TENS unit from amazon. Also use CBD subligual.

You need to fix the issues not just take epidurals and pills and expect it to heal. Walk and walk if possible. Find a position where you feel relief. Stay there for as long as you can. And dont sit bend too much at all. Planks and soft exercise is key. Vitamins for disks are also key. You guys will be better

Day 8 of my laminectomy/discectomy. Back is still sore as to be expected. But my thigh and calf is always on fire. I started searching for these videos just to see if other ppl had the same problem. Glad to hear im not the only one who worries lol. Hope everything has healed up greatly! god bless

Thank you Claire for sharing your pain experience. It does help us to hear what others have gone through. Please do other videos after your surgery.

I was expecting an american accent then bam british o.o

Omg I'm in the phase of waiting for MRI, you telling me the needle was, sounds awful, I'm not sure I want surgery either

I wouldnt wish herniated disc on anyone, I literally cant walk T.T

This is such a helpful and inspiring video. THANK YOU !! I am having my surgery in the near future.... This has helped me tremendously on looking forward. God Bless

Hi Claire. Are all of your discs In good condition? Or they also have a some extent of degeneration? And after microdiscectomy how much disc material is left behind?

Between sixty to seventy percent of those patients who undergo a discectomy, micro or otherwise, go on to get a fusion. Discectomies weaken discs. Only Discseel, which seals torn discs, will strengthen a disc and help the patient to avoid possible fusion surgery. Discseel has a seventy percent success outcome, the outcome being a stronger disc and either diminished lower back pain or its elimination entirely. Fusion surgeries have very low success rates. Based on data in David Hanscom M.D. book "Do You Really Need Back Surgery?" the success rate for fusion surgery is fifteen percent. Read another way that is an eighty-five percent failure rate! Fusion surgery is a multi-billion dollar scam with roughly a half-million patents getting this operation every year! Parenthetically, this surgery has been banned in the state of North Carolina. Fusion surgery should only be done if the patient presents with spinal instability or loss of nerve function with the potential for permanent nerve damage-viz., emergency surgery. It should never be done for lower back pain.

Mine usually feels like someone took crushed glass and replaced lower discs with it. What can you do other than move on?

Hi Claire, Who was your surgeon?? & Where u got your surgery done? Thanks

Hi Claire, which hospital you had your surgery & who was your doctor? Cheers

Omg!!!! I know exactly what you are talking about. People have no clue what we go through every second of every day. My back has hijacked my life. Im meeting a surgeon next week i have multiple herniated disc in my neck and back. They can just rip all the disks out for all i care and shove into those other people's backs . Hopefully you will find some relief.

Oh mine was L3/4 disc forgot to mention

I'm at same stage my surgery was 4 hrs long lots of fragments removed still got quite bad leg weakness which I can't resolve until I do physio in another 4 weeks. A few nerve twitches but pain not too bad , patience is the name of the game 👍

Watching because I’m only 27 and battling the same things. Thanks for sharing. It’s hard to get someone to understand the pain Update: 29 now, had surgery a year and a half ago. I needed a Discectomy from L4-L5 and L5-S1. I can say that it was 10000% worth the struggle and recovery to have the surgery. Not having to feel that awful pain shoot down my legs again was worth it. It’s hard to look back and not get upset about how bad my quality of life was. I really feel for every young women out there whose watching these videos and wondering will it ever stop.

You're cute

Guys read on dr.mccguil big 3 exercise

On list to have same op as you and can totally relate to the pain u had it all day and night can’t switch off from it when people say it might not get better felt like dying and this was doctor the leg pain is worst like u say hope u ok

Hi, I have no idea why this video popped out on me..but I will share some of mine.. its 1,5 year ago i passed microdisectomy. I am 1000 percent better, I still feel my back, they are not superstrong, I feel pain when I am long time in same position .. so I go sleep late and I wake up soon .. I just prefere that, otherwise I feel backpain in the morning. I dont excersize regulary, more likely just to release the pain and bit of yoga and its okay.. but .. with this pain, I can totally live.. Before, I was really close to "end it" , I suffered for years, it always got "better" after the working season, but one day it just broke and I felt that "this is something else", and for 6 months since that moment I was living with 4000 mg of paracetamol just to survive a day, I smoked everything to kill the pain at least for some moments, to fall asleep, I felt already annoying for everybody around because i could not smile, i could not join my friends for any activity,it was not me anymore, I became a zombie,living corpse with no future.. and thats how this gets in my brain..Its not possible to think about nothing else, it wakes you up in the morning, and you already have no motivation to exist, since you wake up its just worst and hurts more and more every minute,and than you survived another day and you wish to die again.. I had complications to get to surgery because I dont live in my country, I am full time traveler, driving heavy truck, and totally I could not pay for MRI by myself, same with surgery..so it takes me half a year to get myself under the scalpel (and aswell men still hope it will be better one day..hope never dies). But it hapened, docter seen me , he said : "surgery, immediatelly, tommorow 9:00 " . At 11 I woke up, with no pain at all, And I had to cry ... I completelly forgot how is it to dont feel any pain. That guy, saved my life. I am back in the game, but I will never forget how close I was to end that suffer.

You dead right when you said people say about their back is the same pain as yours when mine l4l5 went 5 months ago the pain was unreal couldn’t walk for 5 days no sleep all day pain every day awaiting surgery like u had mine sounds very similar I went doctors said sprain knew it was much more serious than pulled muscle or something minor had to force MRI scan after 6 weeks and it showed large l4l5 herniation now going try injection to deal with pain while waiting willing to try anything painkillers no good tried no end you can’t explain to someone who hasn’t had one the level of constant pain.I know the frustration you went through with waiting etc the NHS is great but that doesn’t help u at that moment hope u better now good video

I am due to have this done for my l4l5 herniation and sciatica pain and discomfort off the scale but hopefully this will get rid of it because at moment everything you do is discomfort at best or searing pain nice video and this the first English patient one I found thanks

How are you feeling now 3 years after surgery?? I had the same surgery 48 hrs ago.....:(

I have herniated disc since 2016 My life is in constant pain since then I did mri physiotherapy everything But in vain Now I am doing physiotherapy again I hope it will get better.
