My eagle eyed followers will have noticed that I haven’t been active on social media for the past few weeks, this is because I have been in hospital with a spinal injury. The Dr’s are saying 13 weeks recovery but God willing I will be up and driving sooner than that.
Please look after yourselves and don’t take your health for granted

Omg RUclips
No way RUclips bring back dislikes counts
I do hate when they just give you tablets trying to get you out
Whaaaaaaaa
@@fokuz2025init like we care about this Guys spine (not clickbait) (NO ONE CARES) 😂
it's incredibly heartwarming to see your friend and family run to the rescue when you are in pain
Hey Yian I can relate to you 100%. 5 years ago I went through a period where I was going through exactly what you are and the doctors and hospital wouldn’t help me.
I had this excruciating pain in my lower back and leg and for months they just said I had sciatica, even though I know it was something much worse and nobody would listen to me.
I couldn’t walk, move, shower, put my socks on or get dressed etc.
Everytime I moved, I was screaming from the pain.
After months of fighting with the health services, they finally decided to scan me and they found a tumour trapped under my nerves in my spine.
They finally gave me a 10 hour surgery to remove the tumour and thank god it was benign and to this day, I’m ok.
I had no family history of this kind of thing and I’m fit and healthy too.
I can also relate to the scan asI felt exactly the same and it did feel like I was buried alive.
It will take time, but stay strong and positive.
Get better soon.
Michael 🙏🏻
Get well soon, Yian
All of your fans will be waiting for you at the finish line
Wishing you s a speedy recovery i cant lie the road will not be easy but you have a good network of friends and family. No rush Just recover.
Went through something similar. NHS would not give MRI scan. Went private. Fully herniated my L5-S1 disc. Had surgery. Now recovered. Takes time to recover, look after that back of yours!
People will never understand what an MRI is like until they have one. One of the weirdest points in my life that I still don't even understand what was happening. The noises were crazy - and I didn't crack the casing. Get well soon Yianni!
True, true. They are no joke whatsoever.
I had one on my brain and one on my entire right knee area. (I'm claustrophobic - the one on my brain was a "treat," to say the least. 😨)
Too true, I've had a few now, have one every year now for the cyst on the pineal gland on my brain, sometimes they need to inject the fluids too, it isn't fun and makes me dizzy after with the loud noises
Ive also had a couple and they arent pleasant, especially if you suffer anxiety as i also do. Ive always found closing your eyes and trying to drift your mind elsewhere helps me but is easier said then done ofcourse.
I had to have one to scan my heart. I was in for 20mins. Then they pulled me out and put my back in for another 20mins. I’m 6’4” and 106kg and they strapped me down. They aren’t the nicest thing. It’s weird as well how your body seems to vibrate in different areas when it makes different noises.
What? An MRI is nothing. 20 minutes in a very roomy tube and out again. Calm down 🙄
I am a doctor and radiologist and I am shocked by such bureaucracy in carrying out an MRI exam.
Hope you get better soon.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thats the UK health system 😂😂
Been waiting over a year for an mri scan gym is my essential for what I do
Depending on what the MRI is looking for, the NHS waiting time can be years or days. I had a hearing test last month as the hearing in one ear had changed slightly over 18 months. Had an MRI of my head 11 days later to rule out a brain tumour pressing on my inner ear structure.
@@FearOfGeorge hes private tho
@@hah1738 no its NHS
I had the same thing happen to me a couple of years ago,I can easily say that pain I was in was excruciating,I couldn't begin to put into words how bad it was🤦♂️2 and a half months for it to get better but my back will never be the same again.
Pray you get better soon Yianni,I wouldn't wish that pain on my worst enemy!
Wishing u a speedy recovery and like u said family and friends are all that really matters and thanks for all those wise words u will be up and running soon
I feel your pain Yian.. 13 months of private physio and controlled core strengthening has seen me with L4L5 recovery to the best it can be. The smallest things can cause a flare so just rest and mobilise as much as you can bro🙏🏽
I had a Diskectomy about 12 years ago,I wouldn’t wish it on my worse enemy,thankfully I got better as I’m sure you will also,hope ya feeling better soon Yianni 👍😉💪
Damn bro I feel your pain I’ve had a prolapsed disc for 5 years, and I’ve been on the long term sick for 13 months now there is nothing worse serious back issues ! 🙏🏻🍀
Yianni i had the same problem i was in for 1 year my lower back and left leg was getting numb sharp pains till my toes i couldnt walk for 6 months, i feel your pain now am much better goodluck brother !!!
Couldn’t believe the rubbish you had to endure at the hospital yianni, for what you give to so many people I can only wish you a speedy recovery mate. As you said health is wealth, stay safe yianni and all the best David 👍👍
Health is wealth, take care of yourself, get well soon 🙏🏾❤🙏🏾
Get well soon yan your health comes first physical and mental health stay strong
Keep your head up we all be here and waiting and roughing for you
Had the same issues for years with the NHS. Years of back pain, flare ups, A&E visits, painkillers, physio etc. ultimately had to go private to get an MRI.
Diagnosed with 2 bulging disks around L4/L5 area.
The NHS is in a terrible state. I get the argument from the doctors, they have limited resources and have to prioritise. But the UK was one of the richest countries in the world. The fact we are in this state is disgusting.
Hope you heal up quickly, stays with you for life just need to be careful and look after your back.
Get well soon Yianni.I have been suffering severe back problems for 30 years now so don't do anything silly and listen to your body. It will never steer you wrong.
Been there Yan and got the scar from the surgery, I i know what your going through! it’ll be a long rd ahead but think positive and you get there man 👍💪
Περαστικα σου Γιάννη κ καλη ανάρρωση!!!Κατι παρόμοιο είχα περάσει κ εγω!!μονο ενέσεις dexamethasone με βοήθησαν για τον πόνο κ αργότερα ο πολύ καλος φυσιατρος Νίκος Πολυδωρας με K Laser τοπικά στην περιοχή…καλη ανάρρωση κ πάλι!!
This sits so true with me! I’ve had issues with L4/L5 disc rupture! The pain is indescribable! I found a good chiropractor and regular activity keeps it at bay. Get well soon.
Hi Yianni, wishing you a speedy recovery.
I am taking the time to comment because you have misunderstood certain aspects of the care you received. I am GP and also work half the week in A+E.
1. You should have listened to your body, I think it was unwise for you to be driving for that period of time and then going on to play football given that you had some symptoms. But you weren’t to know.
2. The ambulance service is massively overstretched at present. For example, we have elderly patients who have sustained a fall who are awaiting 8 hours+ for an ambulance in some parts of the country. It is terrible. The ambulance dispatchers have to be more stringent in order to help those who need it urgently. Even if you had an ambulance called out, you would have waited for at least 4 hours in North London. You would then have been asked to walk downstairs to get into the ambulance. So getting to hospital would have been exactly the same process whether it be ambulance or being driven in by family. The pros of being driven in by family are that you will get seen to much faster because you can go ASAP. You would have been in pain for a significant period of time waiting for an ambulance- I hope this makes sense.
3. You can have a private GP if you have private healthcare. If you went on the NHS you wouldn’t have to see a GP face to face, insurance companies only require a letter of recommendation or referral, so it could’ve been a telephone consultation instead
4. You did not need an MRI scan. An MRI scan for back/nerve root irritation is only indicated to rule out cauda equina syndrome- please have a read of what this is. MRIs are needed to confirm the diagnosis so that surgery can take place promptly, as the longer the spinal cord is compressed, the less likelihood of a full recovery. Without leg weakness (you couldn’t move because of pain, not weakness), bowel or bladder symptoms or symptoms in both legs, cauda equina syndrome is not a worry. I am sure you would have the necessary examinations by the doctors to further rule this out. The reason why an MRI is not needed is because it does not change management. Clinically the symptoms were suggestive of a disc bulge with nerve root irritation (possible sciatica). This is managed with painkillers, rest and physiotherapy. We tend to get scans only if it changes management, and as you saw in your experience, you had the MRI scan and then nothing changed, you went home with painkillers. I hope this makes sense.
You are in a position of influence and I think the above clarification may be helpful to you and your followers. I am happy to explain in further detail should you want to find out more. With everything you went through, bear in mind how utterly bombarded and stretched the NHS is in general.
Regards
Wow what an experience you had. Hope you have a speedy recovery and 100% Your Health is Your Wealth.
Yianni, I totally understand everything you have gone through. I manage prolapsed discs in my L4/L5/S1 region on a daily basis and have had a fully slipped disc twice before from exactly the same reason as you, long distance driving. Having been told i needed surgery and being utterly terrified, i got a second opinion by a Spencer Harland at the Spire in Solihull and was advised Not to have surgery at the age of 31 but have intense physio therapy to build the strength up in that region and support the vertebrae. From 3 times a week im now down to 1 session every 3 weeks of mobilisation/massage/traction and other than an occasional twinge in my leg if im tired im as normal as i could be. Its a long road with the rehab so i cannot emphasise just how important having a good, regular physio is with back problems like you have endured. Hang in there man and GTFO those Tramadol asap! 👍
All the best Yianni... iv been following you for a long time. I pray you make a full recovery.. and I pray God protects you and your family...
Take care Yianni, speedy recovery bro
Oh no! 😞 Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤
Yan, I've been there at 26 years old. Sept 2015 this happened to me. 111 and 999 took 7 hours to get an ambulance after several pleading calls and got me to Northwick Park and they refused an MRI and discharged me. My disc had burst at L1 and L2 and legit paralysed me. Thankfully I met Mr Chatterjee from Barnet Hospital privately in Harley Street and got me in on the emergency operation list at Barnet based on a private MRI scan of my lower back. You were lucky you were able to lay down. I couldnt lay down or stand but i could sit which is annoying when sleeping (trying to) or showering. but I feel you on the toilet situ. I struggled with my MRI too at 6'4 and 135kg at the time. trick with MRI is to close your eyes and use the buzzing and clicking to breathe in 4 and 4 out. Get well soon.
Same thing happened to me. I had my back operated on to release the nerve. I spend 6 weeks in hospital and now home trying to walk again. Thanks for this video 🙏🏼
Hey Yianni, feel your paid buddy, I’ve been living with a damaged vertebrae at L5 and 4 herniated discs in my neck for almost 14 years now, 2 MRI scans, thankfully they were no issue to me, but the enclosed space can easily get to you. No help for mine so it’s a case pain management for life, hope you are back up and mobile pain free soon buddy.
so sorry, get well soon, thanks for being brave through it all and sharing with us, am glad i have got to know, your gonna be okay, praying for you.
I have the back problems. Several bulges in spine pressing my spinal cord. I live a very limited life, very few options. Everyone takes health for granted until you don't have it. Wishing you a speedy recovery
Edit. Chiropractor can help you get back on your feet. Expensive but generally worth it
The rest will do you good come back refreshed get well soon and speedy recovery. Sending love and best wishes xxx
Ah man, I went through the exact thing 3 years ago also at Barnet hospital!! I got my MRI no problem though. Found myself a good Physio and a personal trainer at Complex London in Trent Park Country Club helped me get back to full health. Don’t underestimate a good physio. Wish you better bro 👊🏼
Get well soon yanni take care speedy recovery bro 🙏🏽
Sorry to hear. Wishing you a speedy recovery. God’s richest blessings 🙏
Get well soon Yianni. Can't wait to see you back on the track!
Brutal mate get well soon! Backs are no joke, I woke up with a normal stiff neck one morning, went to work and within an hour i couldn't move my neck at all, complete seized up and massive pain, shoulders, upper back, neck, arms even the back of my head all absolutely throbbing. somehow managed to drive home without being able to look left or right when pulling out. 5 osteopath sessions later and I could get back to it, 2 weeks of pain and all it was was some dodgy scar tissue from an old injury I didn't even know I had had teared by my shoulder blade. That was the day I realised that man, if a muscle can do that to me imagine what a spinal injury would do! get well soon, health is wealth indeed!
Get well soon yanni! Heath is most important, we will be here waiting for when u get better.
Know exactly what you're going through. In back pain, as I watched this from fracturing my spine years ago. It's only really comfortable if lying down or standing with some support. Stay strong, positive, and rest as much as you can. 👍🏼
Get well soon, I was in a similar situation at he young age of 27, I went from being sporty and active, taking it all for granted, until one day I tore knee ligament, I couldn't run, couldn't walk, couldn't drive, couldn't even bend my leg, I went from someone who was very active to someone considering if they will even be able to work again. The physical issue was hard but the mental toll was always worse
Yianni, be 💪 sending you good cheers and prayers of healing to you. You’ll bounce back in no time.
Wishing u speedy recovery Yan ,Had a lower slipped disc ones , your body literally froze and any tiny movement l were in tears , even now l’m still terrifying thinking of what if it happens again … Makes u realise how important is your health,,,and u don’t enjoy anything without it …
Yianni, I had 20 years of this pain with 3 prolapsed discs. Best thing I did was increase core strength to support the lower spine. Everyone's ailment is different though and I'm sure you'll get a top notch physio for recovery (and them film it all!) Best of luck!
Great advice, strength and conditioning is key.
I hope you get well soon Yan. This falls back to the golden rule for life ‘always prioritise your first foundation’ (your health). Your body is the one and only place you can truly call home and the vehicle that you will use for everything you perceive from birth to death. Health is wealth Amen 🙏
I had a flu jab Yianni and I haven’t been able to work for the last 10 months. I ended up in neurology for 8 days. I am still totally messed up. I still feel shocked about it all now.
Get well soon Yianni I hope you have a fast recovery ❤
rest up bro we need you healthy no matter how long it takes
Take as much time as you need yan . You're channel is amazing and well worth the wait buddy 👍
I had a herniated disc in my lumbar spine, a few years ago, and had same symptoms as you. I got facet joint injections and a nerve block injection into the intervertebral space, which had a miraculous effect on the pain (I was, basically, pain-free after the op). Highly-recommend Nana Osei; he practices out of The Spire in Harpenden and The Saxon Clinic in MK.
I'm slim and USED to big a typical man and refuse any offers of help in moving heavy objects, etc. Before my disc herniation, I foolishly unloaded a huge American-style fridge-freezer from a van, down some steps and into our utility room single-handed. That was probably the straw the broke the proverbial camel's back. These days, I'm always mindful of my back and don't hesitate to ask for help!
Hope you get better soon Yianni.
Hope you get well soon. I'm a type 2 diabetic, I had shooting pain down my left leg and couldn't do anything as well. Doctors just kept on giving hard pain killers for 7 months the only thing that worked was a clean low carb diet and intermittent fasting and regardless of the pain going on brisk walks. I believe mine was neuropathy. I'm now pain free but always have to keep the diet in check.
Get well soon Yianni and wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery! A bad back is the worst thing you can have, I still suffer with mine mildly 30+ years after an accident so take it easy!!
Been binge watching your videos for like a week now all the way from Africa, Kenya to be precise and honestly love your content man the hype, the good vibes and just the general feeling of you the team and your family. But like you said sometimes we just need an oil change, So yeah take it easy and everything else will fall into place. Get well soon ooh yeah am Sam. PEACE
I've had 2 slip discs currently have 2 disc bulges unfortunately I have to just work through it it does get better over time, I can assure you I have been through all this, just don't EVER do deadlifts but keep yourself active and try lose a bit of fat so your carrying less this will also help. But I can say this will be with you for many years to come. Get well soon Yiann
If deadlifts are totally out of the question, how about squats (back and front), leg presses? Or is it possible to still do all of these exercises but with much reduced weight from before injury, but still enough to be strengthening the core muscles?
Get well and fit again soon yanni .look after yourself .take care.from Dan.m👍👍🚘
wish you speedy recovery my dear yian.. god 😢 stay strong ... ❤
Hi Yanni
i hope you get better soon i had seemer thing has you had which is called Sciatica which is very painful it took me 4 weeks to get back to normal so in that 4 week i did ligth Exercise if you can do this - Lie down on hard floor, grab under your knee, and pull your knee up to your chest as much as you can.
Hold for 10 seconds.
Keeping your leg tight to the body, straighten your knee as much as you can.
Hold for 10 seconds. If you need more of a stretch, pull your toe down toward yourself.
Repeat these steps on the other side.
all the best Yanni
My wife had a similar problem but thanks to the quick private treatment! Get well soon brother.
For someone that is now medically retired from age 30, I can REALLY feel your pain with this Yian, we had the exact same symptoms and feelings when it happened to us it seems... I woke up in Aug 2019 temporarily paralysed from the waist down and had to have an emergency discectomy on my L4/5 and S1 discs, well the surgeon ended up "nipping" my main nerve for my left side so it has now left me with 37% paralysis in my left side. I've been on 300mg Pregablin twice a day, 30mg Baclofen 3 times a day and 30/500mg Cocodamol since that time and I've had to go from driving manual to automatic as I can no longer use a clutch... The anxiety and depression that's come from it has really kicked me in the teeth at times but I still have my mind, that's one thing we'll never be able to lose, no matter how we feel or what happens (that and my dog) 👍🏻 Look after yourself man, hopefully you heal up 100%.
Sorry to hear that, how are you getting on?
I hope you sued for negligence
Get well soon bro , keep pushing just bang out content these days. Loads of Q&As
Get better soon Yianni
Wow, I'm always amazed how terrified people get during an MRI Scan. I've had numerous MRI's and fall asleep every time during the procedure. Guess I'm used to heavy noise. I know exactly where your coming from being laid up and not being able to do much. I've been there and it can get you down. You have to keep yourself positive somehow. Whether it's talking to friends, planning your daily meals or even a bit of reading. Plan things for the future when your fit and healthy again.The main thing is you look after yourself physically and most importantly "Mentally". I wish you all the best Yianni and a speedy recovery. Take your time and it'll all come good at some point. Take care for now mate.
Youll get there yian , take care & good luck with your recovery !
I had this exact thing happen to me. I was a serving member of the army. Post tour in Afghanistan. Had a bit of a blast whilst over there and put my back out. My L5/S1 disk and 6 others exploded. Now I couldn’t move. Not even an inch. Anyway manned through for a week. Then it brought me to tears. Can’t sleep, can’t go toilet properly. And it’s when the doc at the med center said have you had a bowel movement I said no it takes me about half hour to even dribble piss. He said you need an operation you’ll end up poisoned from the inside. So anyway I had a long 7 hour operation and they replaced 2 and micro dissected the other 4 disks. I swear on my own life. I just remember the relief. I had a external exoskeleton on for 6 weeks couldn’t drive or walk without an aid. But yeah best decision I ever made was accepting the surgery. I don’t care what anyone says if you’ve not been through disk issues. When those disks go and your nerves are pinched. Your body just shuts down. By the sounds of it Yian has got lucky. He can still get up although a painful struggle. But brother heed this warning. If you slip or miss a step and burst your disk. You will wish death on yourself. It will be 100 X your current pain. Please be careful and go steady. Get acupuncture, DO NOT get cortisol injections. My grandad had those. They work for few weeks then fade and pain returns. Don’t do physio straight away. That’s a risk. Your not too bad but your at that dangerous stage of swelling that it could burst. But then just get surgery. Anyway that’s my experience and through that experience. That’s my knowledge and advice. Hope you get well soon.
I had same situation with lower spine S1 &2 and L4 5 6 it took loads of trips GP & hospitals when was in worse state no ambulance come out unless am dying breathing but nothing showed till months later had another scan more advance scan and now been classed as disabled with spinal condition it’s long name but had one injection didn’t work in spine then two operations have bone taken out spine which does help but I still suffer daily pain 5 years later sometimes you have to make lifestyle changes as well
But glad on road to recovery
Get Well Soon man…❤❤ Really love you and your work..
Especially with Mat on Carwow.
Love you both❤❤❤🎉
Some incompetence in those medical personnel...yan has alot of real friends 👏👏👏
Hi Yian. Really sorry to hear your going through this. Back pains are the worst. Its cost me a lot ot time out from sports. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping to see you back on your feet ASAP. Take some much needed rest.
Yianni you have describe exactly the same as me, mibe was L4 &L5 both dics trapped spinal corde. So much pain. Good news it will get better.😢
In the middle of June I fell out the back of a lorry at work and I broke the neck of my femur, ( broken hip) and and collapsed hip had to have emergency surgery to fix it with metal plates and screws,
I’ll be off work till next year,
Your lucky your better off as the financial stress along with the mental stress anxiety and depression, It’s so incredibly hard, and mental health is just as important as physical health.
Get well soon Yianni, praying for your recovery, as you mentioned in the video, health is the true wealth, if you’re healthy both physically and mentally there’s not much more you could ask for 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 it’s only in times of ill-health which makes us appreciate the smaller things in life✅
Wish u a healthy and speedy recovery brother, so you can get back to what u do best. Love and respect to you & fam!
Wishing you a speedy recovery Yianni, stay strong 🙏🏼💪🏼
Had more or less the same thing, even down to lying on the back seat of the car. My disc had trapped my Sciatic nerve, so I was unable to put my foot to the floor. NHS not interested, so like you I went private. Cost me lots of money, and in the end my job. As you say, look after your body, you'll only ever have one. Take it easy.
Get well soon yianni . I've been there going back few years now but suffered for 9 months , slipped vertebrae same 2 L3 and L4 had to have half of both of them removed to release pressure from syatic nerv . I've been a new man since .
Stay Positive Bro. Ups and downs happen, just make sure the ups keep the downs away. Healing always takes longer. Keeping you in my Prayers. You got this!
I think I'm a weirdo because I found my MRI so relaxing & almost fell asleep 😂 - Wishing you a speedy & full recovery Yianni. The anxiety & pain from back issues is dreadful but I'm happy you're recovering. It will be well
I must be a weirdo too then because it has the same effect on me.
All best had similar issues years back rest it ,I had my lower disc fused together .
Get well soon sir .
Regards Eddie King .
Get well soon health is wealth money is not everything be well to be there for family 👍
Get well soon, your health is the most important part of your life right now..
Hi Yan.
Based on where you said the pain was in your lower back (L1 to L5) they could of put you into the MRI scanner feet first, especially as you were an anxious patient. Having your head outside of the scanner would of made a difference. Plus, they could of played music into the ear protectors to dampen down the noise from the scanner.
I recommend yoga for all the obvious reasons. Have a good weekend.
BTW: PSA tests for prostate problems is something ignored by a lot of men, even if they don't have symptons, it's something to get ticked off the staying healthy list.
Stay Strong brother, a period and it will pass praying for your operation to pass safely and speedy recovery.love you bro,Get well soon🙏🏾❤️
Hi mate iv got failed back syndrome and had it for nearly 15 yrs now and the back failed when I blew a disc I had an 8 hrs surgery to remove all the fragments. So I know what pain that you are in but keep positive.
Get well soon. I remember when I was at work, sat in canteen chatting with work colleagues then went to stand up and just collapsed on floor. Couldn’t stand up they had to get wheel chair and take me hospital. It turned out my back had a muscle spasm, I had a week off work.
I had, have similar problems last year.. L1 /4/5
I recognise those cushions between your legs, only way to be able to sleep...
I think the overall problem was for about 3 months, little energy and not able to walk far. Think i was fairly mobile after the first week, when things started to settle down.. but no way 💯. Tablets help only a tiny bit. Look at inversion therapy. That's laying on a table attached to an A frame. You end up being hung from your legs. It's the best treatment for regenerating the spine. Stretching it apart. Reversing the force of gravity. Allowing the discs repair also... BUT.. need to start very gently. No hanging totally upside down like a bat ).. feel for you, but you'll get there with proper care. MRI not pleasant. They had to do mine twice, because i couldn't keep still enough with the pain... life's great.. Also adrenaline rush in the spine is a killer for me. So careful when drag racing... Keep smiling 😁
Yanni, I just saw this mate. As soon as you started describing your symptoms my heart just dropped. I did my L4/L5 in on the right hand side in 2018 going swimming. I believe they said something like a disc bulge/rupture on the l4/l5 along the nerve root. Something like that. Hard to hear as a mid 30s guy running a small business that required me on my feet. I wish I could say it wasn't a long road for me (mine went on for months and months), but you can and will get through with the right physio. I will also say, It is so complex, so everyone's situation is unique. There is so much wrong stuff out there for people with lower damage, so just listen to your body and take it slowly. If something is making it act up, listen to that and let it rest. It is probably the hardest thing EVER (I hate sitting still). I was so lucky to find a group in Canada (not covered alas, but 1000% worth it) that focused their work with high high level athletes to recover from these kinds of injuries so they can return to what they love. I really do credit them, alongside my family with getting me on the right track to being active and productive. The regular "medical system" just said there isn't much we can do, and sent me on my way (again, personal experience, I'm sure not everyone is the same). Lean on your team to help you out! You have so many good people at work and a supportive family! AND, there are those of us out there that have gone through it, I'm sure many of them are doing what I am, and letting you know we are out there, but if you ever get discouraged, reach out!!
@jeremyr5523 can you tell me more about that group in Canada like you said how do I get in contact with you I’m going through Same thing like yanni is crazy
Fella, I have had 3 back ops around L3-L5. I was in the same position for the third op and was on crutches. Was and still on some of those drugs but the best pain relief is a bag of frozen peas. once the cold gets in deep, it all contracts and the relief is magical. I know exactly how you are feeling mentally and i was told 12-14 weeks recovery but each time was 8 weeks. chin up fella. it gets easier…
For the past 6 years, I've had at least 2 MRI per year. The machine is no joke, especially if you are the slightest bit claustrophobic. I have to take pills beforehand. Watching this video makes me grateful to have good health care and not have to jump through the hoops like Yanni did. FFS that was brutal.
Get well soon , wishing you fast recovery and hoping your be back in no time!!🙏🙏🧿
the worst thing you can do is stay still, ie you need to keep gently moving so that your affected area doesn't get worse. you also need physio and chiropractor ( sometimes both of which can be done at home) and given the fact you are actually able to get up and walk even if its a fairly short distance, and your able to get in and out of a vehicle, your not in that bad of a shape as you think you are. the pain simply is making you think your far worse. so yes you can get to these appointments.... it just depends how badly you want to get treated. also you could hire a mpv private taxi to take you
Get Well Soon Yianni

I totally understand your pain. I had exactly the same problem and it took 12 months to fully recover. I still have lasting damage 5 years later. Keep your chin up mate you will get through it
Hi Yan, I'm going through the same issue and feel your pain brother. Keep taking your meds, have plenty of rest and stay positive, wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hang in there Yanni, been suffering with slipped disk and performs syndrome for years lucky is good at the moment but nerve could trap anytime then will be out of action again
