    I've had right side sciatic pain for approximately eight years now, every single day is painful I've had steroid injections, pain management injections physical therapy that did absolutely nothing… This pain has severely limited my normal life from simple things like driving to sitting on an airplane trying to go on vacation even standing literally feels like someone has put an extremely tight tourniquet on my leg while simultaneously stabbing me with ice picks in my lower back all the way down to my foot… I've tried gabapentin, Flexeril and various other prescription medication's and nothing helped. I came across this video and I took my time and I did these exercises while it did not cure me, it actually got me emotional when I stood up afterwards and the pain went from 100% down to about 30%..... First time in years that my leg feels somewhat normal. It does feel better and I will continue to use these stretches… Thank you for sharing this.

      If there's one thing I have learned... my sciatic pain didn't start overnight (though it may have felt that way) ... so I realized, it won't go away overnight either. Stretching every day will help you, it's always helped me (some days more than others)! Our emotional reactions are our bodies saying "thank you"... keep going! You got this!

    I have to mention that the crossing and pulling of one leg over the other years ago is what GAVE me sciatica when I went to a physical therapist. She never told me how firmly to stretch and I was stretching very hard. The next day my back felt electrified and I was taken away by paramedics because I suddenly as knocked to the floor. The electrical feeling stayed with me for at least a few months. I couldn’t even lower myself into a bathtub without a sad struggle. It was a slow journey back. I want to say please do these stretches gently and not forcefully as I did. A little at a time.

    An Anatomy Lesson -- Or How I Discovered I Had Sciatic Nerve
    Probable Cause:
    11-mile day hike
    25-pound pack
    66-year-old muscles
    Symptoms for 3 Weeks:
    Pain from left buttock to knee
    Felt like a golf-ball-sized knot in buttock
    Sitting hurt, sitting with a wallet in my back pocket hurt more
    Pain woke me up at night and kept me from sleeping. No position or ointment helped.
    My Remedy--This Video:
    I found instant relief after working through the stretches while watching this video once, with residual pain afterwards.
    I found permanent relief after three sessions, that is, after three days.
    I now do this sequence daily because, even though the pain has vanished, my muscles continuously grow stiff.
    I understand my testimonial helps little. We're all built differently, and we experience pain for different reasons. Gauging from what the presenter says in this video, for example, I bet I'm not suffering from lower back complications. Therefore, I'm unable to say how the video will work for others. I can just say that it helped me-A LOT.
    Thanks!

    i'm quite young (17) and I'm not used used to chronic pain, so my experience with having sciatica for the past 5 months has been miserable. i can't do my job well, and it's difficult to move around at school. ive gone to a chiropractor, taken ibuprofen, tried muscle relaxors, and tried to do stretches for a bit.
    most of the stretches ive been told to do by doctors are too painful and end up with me bursting into tears, but im going to keep trying these for a few weeks to see if they help. thank you

I’m a nurse and know I used bad body mechanics for years in the beginning of my career and now have a 1yr old nephew that I believe I’ve also been doing bad body mechanics lifting. I will be much more vigilant and just hoping I’m making these corrections in time 😫

They help keep pain at a bare minimum. But you must do these exercises regularly. Afterwards, I hit my cold-water immersion tub out back for even more relief after walking of course. These are not hard at all. Thanks!

    Wow ive been told not to stretch the hamstring as it causes flare ups, is this true? Ive heard so many theories of whats right and what isnt. I guess do what you think is right. I instead do glute and core strengthening exercises which has helped reduce my pain and gives me more flexibility. The pain in legs aren't as painful which is such a relief. Nerve flossing is also good.

      Same for me. I followed another RUclips channel and after two days I was in a lot of pain. I then did some more research and found out it was bad to stretch the hamstring which is what I see in a lot of these videos. My doctor also told me to not do hamstring stretches and my chiropractor encouraged me to not do them. I've seen three stretches here that actually hurt me more. I'm so confused right now. At this point I just want a cortisol shot or surgery I don't care anymore I just instant pain relief and stop watching RUclips

      @@HealthlineMediathe same thing happened to me. However I found out that the stretches you sort of pull the muscle away from itself to sort of relive the pressure. Some of these stretches make the muscle (the one in the place of the spot in pain) contract into itself and that’s what causes the pain. And also when you finish the stretch release gently and slowly so you can feel if there’s pain and if so change your position little by little.

      I’m so stiff that sitting on the floor with my torso and legs at 90 degree separation is torture for me. So much pain running down the back of my legs and hips. But if you do these stretches VERY slowly, I think it can make a positive difference. But you need to have patience and breathe. Perhaps your situation is severe enough to warrant seeking a professional, but I would definitely give these stretches a determined but gentle attempt first.

    Learn to do these so we can follow. Having to pause for 30 seconds is annoying. Terrible video

      You are supposed to pause the video and wait approx 30 seconds for each stretch! That's common sense isn't it! Good luck
