I have an 83 uncle that suffer horribly with sciatica and he was in Mexico city and someone recommended a great traumatologist doctor there, he froze some nerve. It was a 30 min proceeding, local anesthesia, it is done in a good hospital. 2,000 dollars. Everything included. That fixed the pain on his sciatica and I think on his lower back.
The idea that all issues with stenosis and sciatica can be solved without surgery and never require pain medication is so out of whack with reality as to be mind-boggling. Dr Oz is an entertainer. He practices medicine, but the show is entertainment and he reaches for an audience. Believe me, I did all the proactive steps in this video very positively. 'After years of steady decline, I spent much of the last two years lying down because I could not sit nor stand for any length of time without excruciating, unimaginable pain with any movement. Despite that, I walked every day with a walker but had to lie down every few minutes to let the pain subside. I did an hour's PT routine upon awakening every morning. I had many rounds of PT as well. I avoided surgery because of videos like this. I researched, found the right surgeon, and had surgery several months ago. I had immediate relief and the relief continues. I'm not free of pain, but my ability to function normally is a zillion times better than before surgery. None of this stuff in this video could help my severe stenosis that was squashing my nerves. It's like doing press-ups to heal a broken leg. They might help herniated discs, which often heal on their own, but they won't decompress a nerve being squashed by a disintegrating spine. There's a good chance I have permanent nerve damage because I waited so long because of the kind of information coming from videos like these. No doubt, there are a lot of people who benefit from these exercises, et cetera, shown. No doubt, there's unnecessary surgery done. But to make a blanket statement that there's some solution for everybody that doesn't require pain medication or surgery is just wrong and damaging. Dr Oz, you should do better.

@@Fill_Some_Timehey you seem very informed in this subject, ive got a l4 l5 disc herniation (l5 s1 and l3 l4 disc bulge as well but those dont touch the nerve) and ive got sciatica for like what 7 months now. Got it from a deadlift fail, at first everyone ignored me when i said it was a herniation because apparently "only old people have that". I finally convinced them to give me a MRI scan and yep, herniation it is. Their methods for curing me however is... unhelpful, they put this oil on me that gave me a burning sensation on my back for hours and when that didnt work they refused to give me any shots or a visit to a chriopractor or anything like that, so I've been in pain for 7 months doing stretches like the number 4 stretch and the leg raise thingy which reduced the pain in almost an instant but it always comes back, and no the cobra pose and push up stretches of all forms made it worst. Just asking if I should try again to convince them to give me a shot, should I hang on bars, go on a diet stuff like that, basically what do you think would make it better, cuz I'm gettin pretty desperate here. Oh teenager btw
@@PlaylistsStoragePlace Thanks for your comprehensive reply. I'm happy that you were helped with your surgery. I had two spinal fusion surgeries in three days about 9 weeks ago. One from the front and one from the back. So far so good, though I know things can happen. I spent two years mostly lying down because walking or sitting caused incomprehensible pain. I avoided surgery because of the bad press spinal fusions get. But, like you, I searched for a surgeon who was smart and had a good history of successful fusion surgeries. Without pain medication during the past two years, I doubt that I would be alive today. My reaction to Dr Oz comes from those experiences. To make this blanket statement puts people at risk who might put stock in what Oz says. Though, I have no idea why people would pay attention to a television doctor whose primary concern is to entertain and have ratings. Thanks again for your response.
I work in an office. I have an adjustable desk top for my computer because sitting for too long will aggravate my sciatica, which I have on my left side. When I stand to work I try to stretch out my legs. I do several different moves like lifting my leg straight forward then bringing it back. I don't have a lot of room, so kicking my leg out to the side isn't a move I do. I do it at home however. I've had sciatica on and off since the 90's, but its gotten worse because of my weight gain and desk job. I'm 51 and this is the first office job I've ever had. All previous jobs over the years involved some kind of physical activity. But covid really screwed me up and for the past 2 or so years, I've been slowly trying to get back on track. Losing weight will help and getting more movement has been helpful. After getting cellulitis in both ankles/feet two years in a row, I am more determined to get back in shape and start taking better care of myself! Sorry for the ramble. Very glad I found your channel!
I’ve worn a Sacroiliac Hip Belt to help stabilize the SI joint so I can exercise and release the tension in the muscles. After it releases and I’m stretching the pain does go away. However, long term chronic illness such as ankylosing spondylitis, this is not a long term solution, there is a lot of residual pain from disc herniated. Exercise is the only solution, once you can control the flaming pain by heat treatment, and building muscles around the spine will keep you going.
I have abused my back in honesty , i think I am superwoman and can lift , climb, stretch and do anything I feel like , unfortunately I have some pain from heavy lifting, I walk everyday and consider myself fairly fit . I now have been knocked off my perch and have to find a way to be gentle with myself and this video is very useful. Thank you
I did your program and I’m still the same the Dr had recommended surgery he said it’s one of the biggest hernias he’s seen in a while, but I gave your program a try. Now I’m scheduled for surgery in August I’ve been like this for 8 months and I tried everything even holistic treatments. I can’t take this pain anymore though. my toes have been numb for 8 months and i feel a lot of pressure in my toes it’s terrible.
Have you had your surgery yet? I hope you do well and please update with your progress. I am going to talk to the surgeon on what to do next. My health keeps declining.
I hope you're getting better. I haven't hear much good results from surgery. My mother had three. Got worse. My fsther had one. Got better. But didn't go away.
Why don't they ever show people who are actually in pain instead of smiling and moving around freely? I have sciatica and can't even stand up or get on the floor without crying. Show me those people.
I 've been diagnose grade 2 spondylolithesis since june 15.i t hurts until now eventhough i already completed my therapy session.i always crying,i felt like a disability person.i cannot go to the market and grocery that i enjoyed doing before i suffering with this l5 spondylolithesis.i always praying that one day my life will back to normal again.
I've been suffering from sciatica and have been talking to a lot of people to try and find a solution, and everyone I've talked to has dealt w sciatica. Physical therapy or surgery have been the 2 most frequent answers. Many have been helped w PT
I have experienced intermittent sciatica for years. Recently, i started doing heavy RDLs off the rack (just below knee height) and it's been amazing. Back pain is completely gone.
those could maybe be involved, but sciatica is a neuromusculoskeletal disorder and by definition is mechanical and movement based, not nutrient/mineral based.
Thank you for the review. I am on this journey now and before I knew what was happening, I naturally went to these movements. Time and patience and meditation are also effective meds. Be blessed. May your journey be purposeful ❤
I suppose it depends on what causes your sciatica. That first exercise causes an intense increase in the pain and electric feeling shock down my left leg all the way to my toes. Feels like I was hit with a stun gun in my low back, hip, and butt.
Good one, I am in Sierra leone West Africa. I ve suffering from this pain for more than two years now .A part of the exercise is their drugs to remedy this condition. Doctor
I suffered from sciatica since I was 10. At 40 I had an episode inwhich I couldn't move for 3 months. I asked my wife to massage my sciatica. That resolved my issue. Even with 4 bulging disc's. My back doesn't hurt anymore.
@mrpentium Yes, sciatica can cause lower back pain that radiates down the buttock and back of the thigh. The pain can vary from a mild ache to a sharp, burning pain and can feel like a jolt or electric shock. It can be worse when coughing, sneezing, or sitting for a long time.... if you're not a doctor . Please keep your comments to yourself. Sciatica pain can be almost anywhere along the nerve pathway. It's especially likely to follow a path from the low back to the buttock and the back of a thigh and calf.
Thank you for this- I've completed a round of p.t. and dry needling (which did help! ) but here I am :( really wanting to ensure I'm performing movements properly. I appreciate this!
Thank you I just finished 12 weeks of physical therapy I've been having burning pain down my spine L4 L5 disc herniation the physical therapist recommended that I put oil throughout the day 2002 anything but numbs me even though I'm finished my physical therapy my next step is a steroid injection also I was told not to put heat on an inflamed nerve 10:34
What inflames your body is high insulin and cortisol. Get off the carbs. 1. I had a beginner sciatica and began a home yoga stretching program to release the hips. Look up "Yoga for sciatica." 2. Balance issues are due to sitting in chairs all the time. two years ago I started beginner ballet barre at home using the back of a chair. It was tough. Ten minutes of it and I hurt. I stuck with it twice a week. I can now do these beginner exercises much better. You need to do "releve" for the feet to get some muscles back in your feet.
I totally appreciate your videos I've been following you for the last 3 months now and finding how effective your remedies are that are working for me at my age and with hip replacements 😊 I definitely know it's sciatica now LOL😂 please continue educating us with the truth❤
I had a bad flare up of this in 2 feet about one year ago I could not walk for 3months could not get out off bed or walk at all sciatica and I would cry everyday because I did not like to not depend on anyone i am still suffering everyday with this it did not go away completely. I am not walking strong enough I still feel like I am wobbly and feel weak on my feet. I fell down one month ago and busted my head. Now because of less movements my BP and BSugar is higher . I used to walk a lot and excercise actually this sciatica started after a 5K marathon run.
I've had 2 spinal surgeries in 2 years.Cervical and Lumbar fusion.I now have foot drop and nerve damage.18 months later pain in the leg is back and quite severe.Someone suggested Rhyzotomy .Any advice on that ?
The non pill treatments such as good and icing help to alleviate inflammation and pain. The reduction in pain allows me to be able to do the problem solving exercises
Thank you for your most interesting & informative videos! I've been dealing with progressively worsening lower back issues for the past 20 years (I'm 61). I've had numerous injections (more epidurals, both lumbar & transforminal) than I can count, facet injections, SI injections, a full dozen RFA's. MRI's and just about every other type of procedure (diagnostic as well as physical) one can think of from my PM doctor, including prolotheraphy, discogram, etc. These are all post bi-lat L5-S1 fusion, bi-lat SI joint fixation + L fusion & L piriformis release, and current opiod treatment. Im still in the upper levels of the pain scale and a positive EMG/NCS for L3-L4, 4-5 & S1. I also have spondylosis, several bulging discs (one with tears), and Schmorles Nodes. The pain that used to stop at my knee now goes down to my toes, and the 'sleep' feeling/tingling, pain, and foot/ankle giving out on me is making walking with determination difficult which makes overall healthcare difficult. However, my PM doctor (licensed and very quality of life focused), which I appreciate, but my quality of life, while I'm not looking for miracles, I am sure my current condition can be improved upon, is waning he insists continuing injections rather than referring me to a neurosurgeon. I dont understand his thinking, and without a referral, seeing a specialist is next to impossible. What does one do when it gets to this point? I don't want to live the rest of my life on medications or 3-4x a year injections, which have built up a healthy case of scar tissue. Any information you can gleen from these ramblings and light you can shine on this would be most welcome. I wish you continued success in your practice and look forward to more of your videos. Peace, and all well.
My chiropractor showed went over x ray w me and my right hip is lower than left. Put a lift in my right shoe, now l have so much pain in right leg on top of sciatica. I hope it gets better and this is a good protocol
I’m in week two. I really have never had such pain, and I’ve had cancer twice. My PCP put me on a muscle relaxer and gabapentin. No help there. I find myself crying because I’m truly in excruciating pain.
Hold tight bud ...I was at this point a couple months ago ...thought life was over ...don't give up ...I'm 3 months I was prescribed the same thing ...I'm able to exercise and address what I need to do for myself now ...still numb in my legs after sleep sitting etc ...but up and moving I feel almost normal .
It took 3 weeks to go away I took (Tylenol 3) for pain at first the pills 💊 then when the pain started to go away little by little do exercises for ur lower back and rest a lot of rest stretch side to side hold for 5 seconds then rest soon it will go away I will put my elbow on the table then race my legs backwards to work on the muscle of your butt and keep on doing it the sensation of your lower back eventually it starts going away and that's how I stopped the pain sciatica to go away for good know my back feels better better I'm running doing everything
I have been living with brutal bi-lateral sciatica pain for 1-1/2 years and seeing a PT for over a year. I have learned more about healing in the past 2 evenings than all of that time. The PT I've been seeing is very qualified, we just have not been able to find success. Thank you!
This I have but mine my pain is at night when I I go to bed and all hell breaks loss I am all over the bed at, long way size way across the bed with my legs hanging of the bed! I have try everything but my Dr. has been the only one to help shots.
What about those of us suffering with an acute disc prolapse and there's no way I could bend even a little - never mind get down on the floor to do a cobra? Surely this is only for prevention of further episodes?
Hi, I can not stand up without the support of a walker, if I stand for more than 30 seconds my thighs and knees go into stiff mode. When I try to stand or sit l feel like my thighs and glutes ligaments are ripping apart. 6 months ago I was running and walking free from pain. Now my glutes, thighs and hips lock into stiff mode.Can you please suggest excersises to do in sitting mode. After an MRI, the doctors just say keep moving, but I experience so much pain when trying to walk inch by inch with a walker, kind regards
As someone who has herniated the same L4/L5 disc twice now and 37 months of the most horrific pain before sugery and now years later 7 months in and no light at the tunnel. Most aren’t unlucky enough for the sciatica pain to be chronic. A much smaller percentage, it doesn’t destroy your mental health until you realize it’s not getting better, and that every day this is what you get to look forward to with no healing. Totally different ballgame. Also bulging disc are much less likely to cause significant pain than herniated. My point sciatica is not sciatica.
You are great sir but in my case my shoulder muscles were dislocated and as I am correcting that I am feeling centralization and now I can bend and still not able to even sit but I think even that will get better soon .❤
I had sciatica for 4 years pain everyday on my left side then it went to my right side😢I did physical therapy for 4 years it did it work then I got injection done last month and my back and legs still hurt😭🥺
For years now I put an ice pack in back of waste band if I've been on my feet for a while and I know my foot is going to start burning. It seriously nips the foot pain in the bud. For me.
Hi. I am 70 years and have chronic pain for various reasons including sciatica. I do not have a cell phone to text PAIN to you but I am interesting the content you offered if I did text you. Is that possible? Thank you.
At the beginning of my herniation, I placed a hot pressing iron over a towel on the lower spine. I nearly went crazy. Felt my never start vibrating all the way down. Didn't make the mistake again.
I am able to do all those quick test and I did easily without difficulties. Does this mean that this is not sciatica? The symptoms are the same. I do walking exercise then and now but i felt this only lately.
I have had pain since January. Right leg top of my hip is a knot. Then it goes just below my knee. Then my back half of my left foot is constant pain. My family doc gave me 25 MG of methylprednisolone why did that rake the pain away???
What if it’s sciatic on your right side, and it goes down your right arm? I’ve had X-rays 4 days ago. Says I also have arthritis in my back area somewhere. But my right leg has never tingled! It’s from back of my right shoulder then tingling. I can’t put my right arm on a table. Was tingling in my 2 fingers. Index and middle. Going to a chiropractor in 2 days. Hope it helps. Not as bad as it once was. Started in April. After hitting palm of my hand. Also the fingers area on down, bruised. I was shocked. Didn’t think I hit it that hard! And it might not make sense, but the area on my forearm itches now. It’s crazy! Maybe my nerves are healing? Always heard, if you itch with something it’s getting better, like when people break a limb, I’ve heard them say it itches cause it’s healing. 🤷♀️
When you're in pain, it's better not to do exercises which hurts wait till the pain is gone and then do the exercises That's what my chiropractic told me .. Wish you well
I have horrible pain 10 years and something shifts I have no pain and can do 100 sit ups .. then it pops and I can barely do one sit up and second gess picking anything up off the ground ..it's a real nightmare I have had 7 spine surgerys and 10 cortisone shots in 6 years ..not fun it's ruined my whol3 life
I’m undergoing sciatica treatment using DX9000 with a Chiropractic Doctor in Orchard Park, NY. I’m done with the 2nd session…so far feeling a bit better…more sessions to go. He has a lot of satisfied patients…must be successfully good ..👍 ❤
Those special tests aren't relevant too. They haven't mentioned what really causes sciatica. They haven't talked about upper limb posture in relation to pain. This video isn't complete explanation because they are concentrating only on the lower back.
It hurts more to bend backwards its like it has a pulling sensation in my leg so i have to walk around bent over which i know isnt good either. What do i do
I have DDD and already had a CSV from the C4-C6 area. It was found out a year ago my L4-L5 is starting to compress the nerves. And since I suffer from tremors, a pain blocker is out since they administer it similar to an epidural (never had kids but still) and I don’t want to chance getting paralyzed.
Hello, I would love to know once and for all When I walk or exercise my gluteal muscle starts to seize. If I continue to walk or exercise, there is no pain but the leg starts to fall asleep and it continues until I bend over and do squats at the hips and then it goes away until the next time. To emphasize, it's not pain at all, but a leg that falls asleep - sometimes, subject to the continued effort I make, it happens in both legs. By the way I can walk on my toes and on my heels, can lift my leg straight up in the air and can also move my leg from side to side without any pain. I'd love to know what it is - I would appreciate an answer, thank you very much
even u r heal and r u feeling okz bt i suggest to u give minimun 1year body rest then u can back to normal life and never forgot to do yoga or exercise everyday
I had sciatica pain for about 2 years . two days ago I tried to lay down on the floor and gave a large blackroll under my pelvis . i was watching tv for more than an hour . when I git up it felt different. next morning i could not believe , no pain . I suppose there must have been a compression caused by hollow cross. I don't know , may be it could help to others.✊🏼
what if you get pain front of quads mainly? also outer calf. is this facet joint syndrome because its like 50/50 when dr say its bulging disc or something else
Rest! Rest! Rest! Never force your body when you have pain! You want to train your brain by finding any relief you can and stay there. Research neuroplastic pain, it’s helped me enormously during mybsciatic pain
I'm in South Africa I've been suffering from sciatica for 6 years is it advisable for me to go for surgery because nothing seem to help and the pain is on 9 over ten all the time
Okay so pineapple and banana are high in sugar how's a diabetic supposed to benefit from that. What will happen is a spike in insulin which is not good, so what would be another
Boswellic acid! from boswellia serratait is actually a tree that grows in your country India combined with proteolytic enzymes like bromelain, serrapeptase, nattokinase.. that's how I fixed my herniated disc L5 S1
All that tip toe and heel walk are waste of time, I can do all of that no issues but I have two bulging disc and spinal stenosis witj degenerative disc with tons of pain but I can do those heel walk
I drank some pineapple juice a couple of months ago and thought I never walk again. I was in pain. My sciatica is so bad we have a huge horrible hurricane 🌀 on the way and my ass is acting up so bad . I am in zone A so i need to leave. This sciatica is really a killer.

Thank you for the review. I am on this journey now and before I knew what was happening, I naturally went to these movements. Time and patience and meditation are also effective meds. Be blessed. May your journey be purposeful ❤
Praying always for this pain togo let your good exerceses help me thanx❤
I suppose it depends on what causes your sciatica. That first exercise causes an intense increase in the pain and electric feeling shock down my left leg all the way to my toes. Feels like I was hit with a stun gun in my low back, hip, and butt.
Good one, I am in Sierra leone West Africa. I ve suffering from this pain for more than two years now .A part of the exercise is their drugs to remedy this condition. Doctor
I suffered from sciatica since I was 10. At 40 I had an episode inwhich I couldn't move for 3 months. I asked my wife to massage my sciatica. That resolved my issue. Even with 4 bulging disc's. My back doesn't hurt anymore.
Do you have a buttchin?
Back pain is not sciatica
@mrpentium Yes, sciatica can cause lower back pain that radiates down the buttock and back of the thigh. The pain can vary from a mild ache to a sharp, burning pain and can feel like a jolt or electric shock. It can be worse when coughing, sneezing, or sitting for a long time.... if you're not a doctor . Please keep your comments to yourself. Sciatica pain can be almost anywhere along the nerve pathway. It's especially likely to follow a path from the low back to the buttock and the back of a thigh and calf.
The seated exercise gave instant relief tp pirformis sciatica
Thank you for this- I've completed a round of p.t. and dry needling (which did help! ) but here I am :(
really wanting to ensure I'm performing movements properly. I appreciate this!
Thank you I just finished 12 weeks of physical therapy I've been having burning pain down my spine L4 L5 disc herniation the physical therapist recommended that I put oil throughout the day 2002 anything but numbs me even though I'm finished my physical therapy my next step is a steroid injection also I was told not to put heat on an inflamed nerve 10:34
Do yourself a favor and read the back sufferers Bible.
What inflames your body is high insulin and cortisol. Get off the carbs.
1. I had a beginner sciatica and began a home yoga stretching program to release the hips. Look up "Yoga for sciatica."
2. Balance issues are due to sitting in chairs all the time. two years ago I started beginner ballet barre at home using the back of a chair. It was tough. Ten minutes of it and I hurt. I stuck with it twice a week. I can now do these beginner exercises much better. You need to do "releve" for the feet to get some muscles back in your feet.
Really love his review!!! Excellent ! It’s one of the most honest opinion I have heard about siatica. Thanks you so much for your time
I totally appreciate your videos I've been following you for the last 3 months now and finding how effective your remedies are that are working for me at my age and with hip replacements 😊 I definitely know it's sciatica now LOL😂 please continue educating us with the truth❤
that's amazing! Would love to help you get a full plan, if you follow this link you can book a free consultation! bit.ly/ytpainfree
I had a bad flare up of this in 2 feet about one year ago I could not walk for 3months could not get out off bed or walk at all sciatica and I would cry everyday because I did not like to not depend on anyone i am still suffering everyday with this it did not go away completely. I am not walking strong enough I still feel like I am wobbly and feel weak on my feet. I fell down one month ago and busted my head. Now because of less movements my BP and BSugar is higher . I used to walk a lot and excercise actually this sciatica started after a 5K marathon run.
There is a minor proceeding it's about freezing some nerve
I've had 2 spinal surgeries in 2 years.Cervical and Lumbar fusion.I now have foot drop and nerve damage.18 months later pain in the leg is back and quite severe.Someone suggested Rhyzotomy .Any advice on that ?
Thoracic spine now a problem as well.
The non pill treatments such as good and icing help to alleviate inflammation and pain. The reduction in pain allows me to be able to do the problem solving exercises
Ice can increase bloodflow. Happens after removing the ice.
Thank you for your most interesting & informative videos!
I've been dealing with progressively worsening lower back issues for the past 20 years (I'm 61).
I've had numerous injections (more epidurals, both lumbar & transforminal) than I can count, facet injections, SI injections, a full dozen RFA's. MRI's and just about every other type of procedure (diagnostic as well as physical) one can think of from my PM doctor, including prolotheraphy,
discogram, etc.
These are all post bi-lat L5-S1 fusion, bi-lat SI joint fixation + L fusion & L piriformis release, and current opiod treatment.
Im still in the upper levels of the pain scale and a positive EMG/NCS for L3-L4, 4-5 & S1. I also have spondylosis, several bulging discs (one with tears), and Schmorles Nodes. The pain that used to stop at my knee now goes down to my toes, and the 'sleep' feeling/tingling, pain, and foot/ankle giving out on me is making walking with determination difficult which makes overall healthcare difficult.
However, my PM doctor (licensed and very quality of life focused), which I appreciate, but my quality of life, while I'm not looking for miracles, I am sure my current condition can be improved upon, is waning he insists continuing injections rather than referring me to a neurosurgeon. I dont understand his thinking, and without a referral, seeing a specialist is next to impossible. What does one do when it gets to this point? I don't want to live the rest of my life on medications or 3-4x a year injections, which have built up a healthy case of scar tissue.
Any information you can gleen from these ramblings and light you can shine on this would be most welcome.
I wish you continued success in your practice and look forward to more of your videos.
Peace, and all well.
My chiropractor showed went over x ray w me and my right hip is lower than left. Put a lift in my right shoe, now l have so much pain in right leg on top of sciatica. I hope it gets better and this is a good protocol

Look up exercise for tilted hip
Wow , great video. Smart, smart, smart way to explain sciatica. Thank you.
I’m in week two. I really have never had such pain, and I’ve had cancer twice. My PCP put me on a muscle relaxer and gabapentin. No help there. I find myself crying because I’m truly in excruciating pain.
Hold tight bud ...I was at this point a couple months ago ...thought life was over ...don't give up ...I'm 3 months I was prescribed the same thing ...I'm able to exercise and address what I need to do for myself now ...still numb in my legs after sleep sitting etc ...but up and moving I feel almost normal .
It took 3 weeks to go away I took (Tylenol 3) for pain at first the pills 💊 then when the pain started to go away little by little do exercises for ur lower back and rest a lot of rest stretch side to side hold for 5 seconds then rest soon it will go away I will put my elbow on the table then race my legs backwards to work on the muscle of your butt and keep on doing it the sensation of your lower back eventually it starts going away and that's how I stopped the pain sciatica to go away for good know my back feels better better I'm running doing everything
Wow! I was just thinking to talk to my Dr. about my bulging dic. Specifically can exercise heal me, or does exercise just help to manage pain? 😊
Thank you for sharing! 😊
Three weeks! Aren't you lucky! Man, I wish mine would go away. It's been months.
Sure hope I'm as lucky. It came on after moving furniture and it's been two weeks but I just figured out what it was.
Don't understand put elbows on table and race legs back, can't even picture this, please explain.
I have been living with brutal bi-lateral sciatica pain for 1-1/2 years and seeing a PT for over a year. I have learned more about healing in the past 2 evenings than all of that time. The PT I've been seeing is very qualified, we just have not been able to find success. Thank you!

What about those of us suffering with an acute disc prolapse and there's no way I could bend even a little - never mind get down on the floor to do a cobra? Surely this is only for prevention of further episodes?
Thank you for your content!
Hi, I can not stand up without the support of a walker, if I stand for more than 30 seconds my thighs and knees go into stiff mode. When I try to stand or sit l feel like my thighs and glutes ligaments are ripping apart. 6 months ago I was running and walking free from pain. Now my glutes, thighs and hips lock into stiff mode.Can you please suggest excersises to do in sitting mode. After an MRI, the doctors just say keep moving, but I experience so much pain when trying to walk inch by inch with a walker, kind regards
As someone who has herniated the same L4/L5 disc twice now and 37 months of the most horrific pain before sugery and now years later 7 months in and no light at the tunnel. Most aren’t unlucky enough for the sciatica pain to be chronic. A much smaller percentage, it doesn’t destroy your mental health until you realize it’s not getting better, and that every day this is what you get to look forward to with no healing. Totally different ballgame. Also bulging disc are much less likely to cause significant pain than herniated. My point sciatica is not sciatica.
You are great sir but in my case my shoulder muscles were dislocated and as I am correcting that I am feeling centralization and now I can bend and still not able to even sit but I think even that will get better soon .❤
I had sciatica for 4 years pain everyday on my left side then it went to my right side😢I did physical therapy for 4 years it did it work then I got injection done last month and my back and legs still hurt😭🥺
Cut out the carbs, it's only thing that worked for me
Have you had an MRI?
DONT do this cobra position, it compresses the sciatic nerve.
Well balanced out review 👍
Do you think there’s any benefit in using ice around the l4-l5-s1 disc to reduce inflammation from the nerve compress?
For years now I put an ice pack in back of waste band if I've been on my feet for a while and I know my foot is going to start burning. It seriously nips the foot pain in the bud. For me.
Hi. I am 70 years and have chronic pain for various reasons including sciatica. I do not have a cell phone to text PAIN to you but I am interesting the content you offered if I did text you. Is that possible? Thank you.
At the beginning of my herniation, I placed a hot pressing iron over a towel on the lower spine. I nearly went crazy. Felt my never start vibrating all the way down. Didn't make the mistake again.
Great video, thank you so much ❤
Great videos!!
As a heads up , looks like there’s bad media at 12:30 , 12:55, 14:44 and 16:36. I’m in Apple TV, incase it’s works on other devices.
What are you on about? Please explain
thank you so much
Greeeat Explanations.... Thank You❤❤❤
I am able to do all those quick test and I did easily without difficulties. Does this mean that this is not sciatica? The symptoms are the same. I do walking exercise then and now but i felt this only lately.
I have had pain since January. Right leg top of my hip is a knot. Then it goes just below my knee. Then my back half of my left foot is constant pain. My family doc gave me 25 MG of methylprednisolone why did that rake the pain away???
What if it’s sciatic on your right side, and it goes down your right arm? I’ve had X-rays 4 days ago. Says I also have arthritis in my back area somewhere. But my right leg has never tingled! It’s from back of my right shoulder then tingling. I can’t put my right arm on a table. Was tingling in my 2 fingers. Index and middle. Going to a chiropractor in 2 days. Hope it helps. Not as bad as it once was. Started in April. After hitting palm of my hand. Also the fingers area on down, bruised. I was shocked. Didn’t think I hit it that hard! And it might not make sense, but the area on my forearm itches now. It’s crazy! Maybe my nerves are healing? Always heard, if you itch with something it’s getting better, like when people break a limb, I’ve heard them say it itches cause it’s healing. 🤷♀️
I tried the cobra exercise for my lower back pain and sciatica the pain got worse and worse. I don’t know what to do.😔
When you're in pain, it's better not to do exercises which hurts wait till the pain is gone and then do the exercises
That's what my chiropractic told me ..
Wish you well
DO NOT DO THE COBRA
REST REST REST
Because sciatica can have many causes..and if that cause is disc compression then cobra can make it worse
Cant you do anything for scholioss? My spine hurts man . One of my leg is so much longer.❤🇯🇲
I have horrible pain 10 years and something shifts I have no pain and can do 100 sit ups .. then it pops and I can barely do one sit up and second gess picking anything up off the ground ..it's a real nightmare I have had 7 spine surgerys and 10 cortisone shots in 6 years ..not fun it's ruined my whol3 life
I had it ...but I did a few stretches and it worked and never came back
Thanks bro Thanks
I have this sciatica right now 😢
This is bad illness 😢 never seen ever my life 😢 ah ah
I’m undergoing sciatica treatment using DX9000 with a Chiropractic Doctor in Orchard Park, NY. I’m done with the 2nd session…so far feeling a bit better…more sessions to go. He has a lot of satisfied patients…must be successfully good ..👍 ❤
Would you know if a TENS unit will help ??? Thank You in advance.
H Wave helps me .
Those special tests aren't relevant too. They haven't mentioned what really causes sciatica. They haven't talked about upper limb posture in relation to pain. This video isn't complete explanation because they are concentrating only on the lower back.
Thank you🙏🏼
It hurts more to bend backwards its like it has a pulling sensation in my leg so i have to walk around bent over which i know isnt good either. What do i do
You're basically fooked if you a bulging disc and spinal stenosis at the same time.
I have both? Is there no way i could do deadlift in my lifetime?
not fooked at all. These have very good prognosis. We fix disc issues every day, and many cases of stenosis can be managed.
I have DDD and already had a CSV from the C4-C6 area. It was found out a year ago my L4-L5 is starting to compress the nerves. And since I suffer from tremors, a pain blocker is out since they administer it similar to an epidural (never had kids but still) and I don’t want to chance getting paralyzed.
I didn’t know that about ice 😱. What about Wim Hof?
Thank you content
My leg feels like it’s going out on me afraid of falling
Me too!! Can barely walk- my right leg drags...
Dealing with it on left side, i got a cane from my mom. Hang in there it gets better
Try stairs or lunges by holding on a railing and do them as much h as u can
Hi , i cannot text you . Would you please make a video of useful exercises for sciatica that everyone can use . Thank you ❤
Hello, I would love to know once and for all
When I walk or exercise my gluteal muscle starts to seize. If I continue to walk or exercise, there is no pain but the leg starts to fall asleep and it continues until I bend over and do squats at the hips and then it goes away until the next time.
To emphasize, it's not pain at all, but a leg that falls asleep - sometimes, subject to the continued effort I make, it happens in both legs.
By the way I can walk on my toes and on my heels, can lift my leg straight up in the air and can also move my leg from side to side without any pain.
I'd love to know what it is -
I would appreciate an answer, thank you very much
I've had 2 surgeries l4 l5 been to a few different pt places. Still can't walk sit or stand very long.

I had sciatica pain for about 2 years . two days ago I tried to lay down on the floor and gave a large blackroll under my pelvis . i was watching tv for more than an hour . when I git up it felt different. next morning i could not believe , no pain . I suppose there must have been a compression caused by hollow cross. I don't know , may be it could help to others.✊🏼
Same here.
what if you get pain front of quads mainly? also outer calf. is this facet joint syndrome because its like 50/50 when dr say its bulging disc or something else
same here .. tell me if u get any answers
Forward leaning pelvis. Puts pressure on quads causes knees to buckle a bit which puts pressure on shins/calves
Increase copper intake
Research Pain Reprocessing Therapy ie Neuroplastic pain. Life changing when dealing with sciatica
What about when the sciatic pain is bad ? Do you rest or stretch ?
Rest! Rest! Rest! Never force your body when you have pain! You want to train your brain by finding any relief you can and stay there. Research neuroplastic pain, it’s helped me enormously during mybsciatic pain
I REST
I don't do COBRA
I found picking up a light chair is better for me if I pick it up behind my back.
I'm in South Africa I've been suffering from sciatica for 6 years is it advisable for me to go for surgery because nothing seem to help and the pain is on 9 over ten all the time
Is bridge exercise good for sciatica?
Okay so pineapple and banana are high in sugar how's a diabetic supposed to benefit from that. What will happen is a spike in insulin which is not good, so what would be another

Sir i am from India i having this problem since 4month how can I remove this pain from my life 😢 please suggest me
Boswellic acid! from boswellia serratait is actually a tree that grows in your country India combined with proteolytic enzymes like bromelain, serrapeptase, nattokinase.. that's how I fixed my herniated disc L5 S1
Does these apply to disc desiccation my age is 21 height is 5'10 am male and my ap canal diameter is 7mm (l5-s1)
My sciatica is going from one leg to the other and currently is happening on both legs is this bad?
see docters immediately
All that tip toe and heel walk are waste of time, I can do all of that no issues but I have two bulging disc and spinal stenosis witj degenerative disc with tons of pain but I can do those heel walk
Not a waste of time at all. They are looking for neurological deficits. This quick screening can provide a lot of information.
@@rehabfixI can do those too but I def have left sided sciatica 😢
Just perfect
ممنون از ویدپو های خوبی که قرار میدی
I drank some pineapple juice a couple of months ago and thought I never walk again. I was in pain. My sciatica is so bad we have a huge horrible hurricane 🌀 on the way and my ass is acting up so bad . I am in zone A so i need to leave. This sciatica is really a killer.
This is my first time feeling this pain it's rough I can even out my sock on
How can someone contact you from outside where you are.
