Bob and Brad have cured my plantar fascitis, sciatica--and now in just one session, they have radically reduced pain from pinch nerve radiating down into my arm--they are godsends! Wouldn't want to face this journey into old age without them. Bob and Brad will keep me ticking!
I have been dealing with a pinched nerve with severe shoulder discomfort/pain for a little over a year. I went to 2 different chiropractors which helped relieve the symptoms but i was always still in discomfort. Out of being desperate for something to work one night about 3 weeks as I could not sleep because of the pain, I came across this video. I now have ZERO pain or discomfort after doing the exercise (3 times a day)they demonstrate sitting down with the pole (I use a painters stick).
Love you guys! Retired OT here who specialized in upper extremity. Now, I'm having issues with UE of my own. Thank you "old" age! :( I'm really getting a lot out of your videos. Thanks, guys! Not only have I been doing your exercises, stretches, etc., but you've inspired me to start taking better care of my diet and overall taking better care of myself.
So happy I found you. My Dr sent me to a physical therapist for my pinched nerve and she did everything wrong. She told me at some point that she didn't believe I actually had one. I feel she actually made things worse. Thank goodness I don't have to deal with her anymore. I feel this could have been taken care of months ago if she had only done what the Dr. said and treated me accordingly. Well, I'm going to try your treatment and pray that it works.
I want to tout chiropractic care also I’ve been doing all the things, PT and otherwise 3 adjustments and 3 traction table sessions later (1 week time of incredible pain w/o the needed narcotics) and my nerve released! I’m so thankful I cried, when I realized it. I was to point of not using my arm and almost passing out from pain in stores. Hadn’t worked in 2 days. It made full circle of modalities needed, complete. ❤️
You guys are angels 😭 I’ve been sobbing and crying in pain and I’ve been getting recurring pinch nerve pain for ages, this helped even within watching the video 😭 thank you!!
I discovered this video over a week late after suffering the left shoulder and tricep pain, and it was likely due to a pinched nerve. The pain was debilitating. After watching this video, I did a few reps of neck stretching using the towel and neck bending toward the side of the pain exercises while enduring the pain for about two hours or so in the evening, I noticed improvements in the pain on the upper arm and shoulder the next day, though I am still feeling minor tingling in the elbow area, and the pain is now localized to the upper back-shoulder blade area. Thank you for sharing the exercises!
Thanks for sharing. I found your video at 2 am in the morning for the exercise with my arms and against the wall extensions. I had this pain for 4 days and at 2 am it got worst where I could not get up out of bed and felt nauseas. After doing your exercises with the chin, and arms I felt so much better to the point I could sleep a few hours. I then watched this video and will continue to do these steps until I get the nerve better. Again, I appreciate all the tips to making me well again. I am sure it has a lot to do that I work on a computer 9 hours a day.
I'm enjoying these videos...even though it's low tech it's very effective, I'm battling with a bad ulnar nerve entrapment and the sleep advice is invaluable. Great job guys!!! Love it!
Thank you. HM EDS with double shoulder surgery here...Finishing up my graduate poster presentation so I can't get away from the keyboard, but I can thank you for letting me finish my project.
I have found getting a deep tissue massage takes 95% of the pain away by the next day. It hurts during the massage and you'll be sore afterwards, but you'll sleep so much better and most of the pain will be gone the next day. This video is great and I'll implement all the suggestions to take away the rest of the lingering pain!
thankyou so much guys. I have C4, 5 and 6 disc bulges and cervical spondylosis and have trapped a nerve in my neck area with pain going all the way down my arm and the pain is unbearable at times. I have tried the chin tucks along with a heat pad on the bad shoulder and it is helping. You are so informative and talk normal talk instead of technical jargon. I will be trying out the best sleep posture and have plenty of pillows to help. Keep up the excellent work.
@@Lord_Don Unfortunately, it will never heal according to the drs. I have good days and bad days - more bad when the weather is cold and damp. I have invested in a pillow from Amazon and its helped greatly with my neck issues, Taking each day as it comes, thankyou for your interest.
@@1970SMary I hear we all have wear and tear. Your body will repair itself & your nerves will adapt to their damaged surroundings. I believe in time you'll get relief from the pain without surgery
Had a difficult time getting out of bed last night due to right neck pain. After restless, intermittent sleep decided to check on RUclips for cervical nerve impingement. With chin tucks and tuck extensions pain level has been reduced 30% where I’m now able to walk comfortably, use my right arm with less pain and lay down and get up without a struggle. Thanks to this video going to work on Monday is not out of the question. This video was an answer to 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’ve been having terrible shoulder and back pain for days, thinking I pulled my traps or something similar - but turns out from your videos that it’s coming from my neck! your exercises have given me incredible relief - I can’t thank you enough!
This pinched nerve is driving me nuts and I have total knee replacement surgery in 28 days! I'm gonna need all the strength I can get in my arms to use that walker and for physical therapy! Starting this today and we'll see how it goes🙏🏽
Absolutely amazing. I'm studying for the bar and have been writing for 7-10 hours a day. I got my first pinched nerve from holding the pen that long. The towel exercise worked SO quick at getting rid of the numbness. Thank you!!
@@FFFFF157 So actually I was wrong, it wasn't a pinched nerve exactly, it was carpal tunnel! This comment was before I made it out to see a doctor. The towel trick was good for temporary relief but what made the biggest difference was a wrist brace, icing it thoroughly, and a week long oral steroid treatment. Luckily I could still type/write with the brace on. When I took the bar at the end of July it was almost completely gone and now my hand is completely back to normal.
I'm in so much pain and just reading the comments is making me so hopefully now I will now go and do the exicise and stop making it worst by looking down at this screen.. good luck you guys
I just subscribed and light since May 3 of this year I’ve had a pinched nerve near my shoulder blade and my neck and the pain runs all the way down my arm to my elbow to my finger and thumb is tingling and numb I’ve done everything from cracking my bag massages cuoping acupuncture Nothing house I will give this a shot thank you for your information
I have this pinched nerve in my neck, and it's radiating pain down my shoulder, arm and elbow. I suffered for 3 weeks, been to 2 docs, before I came to this video! Thanks!! I think the extensions help. I will keep doing them.
I’ve been feeling the symptoms of a pinched nerve on my left side for almost 10 days… absolutely miserable. Is it normal to feel left arm pain during the night? I’ve felt it in the shoulder shoulder blade and my entire left arm. Seems to be worse at night and I can’t sleep. I’m almost losing my mind and anxiety has set in. I’m almost into a full on panic attack.😖
I came across this video after a torturous week of being unable to get any real sleep, and the advice here made all the difference in the world. I'm finally able to sleep through the night and my shoulder is on the mend! Thank you so much, Bob and Brad!
@@heyhey5368 It did! I don't remember anymore how long it took for it to go away completely- maybe a couple of weeks or so? My shoulder was pretty janked up. But things were definitely improving once I started following their advice!
Woke with pain in neck, half way down upper back and right hand. Did all these exercises- pain gone. Thank you once again from Oxfordshire England. Then went to do your balance exercises. I tell everyone I know about your channel. Veronica x
I've been in pain for 5 days popping ibuprofen every 3 hrs, doubted your claim of instant relief but had nothing to lose - did your x10 reps of your towel exercise and felt this "pop" in my neck and INSTANT RELIEF-!!! Thank-you guys that was awesome!
I have cervical radiculopathy and i just did these exercises and it has helped me in like 10 minutes i feel much better. I just want to heal from this because its a ridiculous-pain thank you bob and brad you guys are amazing.
Thanks guys I am very appreciative of this video I have watched a lot of your videos recently and I also bought the book last week from your suggestion. My symptoms are improving greatly but I have not been supporting my arm during the day or night like mentioned so I will get on that right now actually. Have a super amazing night and week thank you for all your hard work sincerely appreciated
I lifted a dumbbell the wrong way and couldn’t figure out what the deal was and I had a sudden pain from my shoulder to my 2 middle fingers and it felt like cold water going down and up my arm I am so glad I came across your video now I know what the problem is thank you both so much I honestly thought it was a torn rotator cuff at first but a pinched nerve makes so much more sense.
I use a contour pillow. My neck is so bad when I wake up. I change out pillows but my pinched nerve is worst in the morning. Thank you for all of your help and great videos!!
Great! Thank you! Just had my first ever pinched nerve trauma ... on my own ... utterly stressed ... leapt onto the internet to find rescue. And it was you guys :) Super grateful fellas xxx
@@tejasvibabar7498 Started in shoulder, then went all the way down the arm to the back of the hand. It was awful. I started the stretches and, gradually, the fizzy, electrical sensations retreated back up to the shoulder and localiused there again. A great relief. I took care for a couple of days and it's been fine ever since xxx
You just don't know how grateful iam to both of you been out of commission for 2 weeks because of what we suspect is cervical radioculopathy . I watched youre video on it and i felt relief when i did the chin tuck and looking up. Thank you again you guys are the best
So Bob and brad first off i just discovered your videos and am using to relieve neck pain. What is the best pillow for side sleeper with neck pain. Thank you Jim
Well sadly i have it in my hand my pinky and ring finger and part of my hand and nothing helps im only 16 i don't know what to do i seen a doctor he said its a pinched nerve and that's it :(
@@Creditdump those feel awful! I hope you feel better. I am back to 100%. Ask your doctor if you can take ibuprofen. That sped up my recovery from my pinched nerve. These videos and the ones teaching to stretch really helped too. I hope you feel better soon!
@@Creditdump That must be tough to deal with for that long. Maybe see a doctor maybe they can refer you to physical therapy. If surgery is their only answer, it would be worth talking to your doctor. You are still young. I wish you well!!
Iv been struggling for years with recurring pinched nerve pain in my left shoulder. Causing pain & tingling. It gets especially bad when I'm at work due to me sitting all day long in front of a computer. It is true that "regular" shoulder, back, & neck exercises are the only thing that allow my shoulder to stay healthy. Whenever I stop the exercise the pain comes back within a couple of months.
I had arthoscopic elbow surgery a week ago and when my nerve block wore off my left thumb the underside was numb so is part of the palm and the index finger is essentially sore but it's better then the tingling numbness of the thumb that occasionally gets sharp pain. I think it's a trapped nerve just stretching sends shooting pain up to my elbow and out my two fingers and palm. I say my thumb but it's also not because touching things hurts.
Hi! I have a tickling sensation from 2 months and low pain in my elbow. I get most tickling sensation while sleeping. Is it because of pinch nerve ? 🥺🥺
So I have a pinched nerve that starts out on my back up to my neck, my right shoulder, my forearm and the back of my hand. How do these exercises work if it keeps pinching on the nerve a little bit, doesn’t that aggravate the nerve further? And prolong the healing process?
Pinch Nerve in right upper shoulder. Therapy is pressure point in web between thumb anr froefinger. Had atrophying loss of use of left thumb, and all the docs stuff did not work. This did it.
Hey Bob, hey Brad! Do you gentlemen believe that massage therapy can help? I’m curious because not only do I have a pinched nerve but I also have costochondritis and also have a very bad right after ACL injury I believe all of these injuries began one after the other and just got more aggressive as I got older
I have pinched nerves in both my hands, I have numbness in my fingers of both hands, and sometimes when I’m doing something I get a jolt of electricity in my hand.
tingling in the index finger tip and down the top side of the forearm is always pinched nerves in the 5 and 6 vertebrae. chin tucks and keep pushing the vertebrae back has helped me a lot. Yes, the pain is life changing, sleep, work, nothing funny, always looking for a place to relax. Not a good state in life...get some medical help!
Wow you just saved my night!. I was in horrible pain through the entire evening until I came across this video!. Really appreciate what you are doing!.
I have irritated nerves in both my arms, I use the tunnel method for sleeping and rotate ever 30 min. This method is a lifesaver. But still, it's hard to get a good sleep with these conditions... I hope it gets resolved soon...
I got a nerve in the needle while collecting blood at the hospital, and I have hand numbness and pain that lasted for a year. Is there an appropriate treatment?
so its fine if the pain migrated puwards? it started as tingling in the hands, now I feel in the biceps region in both arms its not pain but it's a costant disconfort but comes and goes specially when stop paying atention to it
i have major back issues ever since a teenager in highschool!! have always tried yoga and all kinds of things but eventually in life something herniates or bulges again and i gota deal with the pain... this time it happened as i guess cuz im aging the disk problems seemed to have pinched my axiliary and median nerves never had that happen before.... this video legit brought immediate relief to my inflamed axillary nerves . going to add this neck extension exercise into my routine tyvm. sadly i expect this to get worse as i continue to age with no insurance for surgery for the forseable future. again thank you for this usefull info and exercise
Can also roll your back on 1 , 2 or 3 2ltr bottles fill with water n freeze Then roll your back to the neck Works great Also the towel method stretching the neck and holding the towel using small neck movements back front left right side to side . very minute movements
Thanks for your video. I love the rapport you two have, the way you correct each other really helps get the points across. The tips on sleeping are very useful. I have ordered the book you recommended.
I'd love to know why my pinched nerve is causing pain on chin tucks and when I tilt my head to affected side... also some pain in armpit and shoulder area only upon tilting head to that side
I have a pinched nerve in my right shoulder and it throbs all the way down my right arm. I'm so miserable. It makes it very hard to work and click a mouse all day. Been to two physical therapy sessions so far...Hope I start to feel better soon
@@lornakist Yes I'm completely healed. After about my third physical therapy session the pain down my arm went away and then after the 6th and final therapy session I felt 90% better. I now have no pain which surprises me because of how much pain I was in
I’ve got a trapped nerve in my left shoulder. Don’t know which nerve that’d be. Sends pains down my left arm. When doing those extension exercises are you looking for the pain to start disappearing over a long period? When I do them it causes some pain straight away. Always figured that causing pain wasn’t a good thing but is that not the case?
Really useful info (for someone who is currently suffering from a pinched nerve). Thank you. However, I do wish that these gents could shout louder into the microphones.
Hi thankyou for these videos. My problem is that my right my right hand fingers are consistently numb and tingling. It's right now inseparable. I had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder about 4 yrs ago and I am wondering if this is a contributing factor. Please help.
Try wearing a back brace. The simple black kind with velcro straps. It stopped the pain immediately. And I also trained my lower back more. The issue was due to a weak core/ lower back from sitting at a computer 8+ hours a day.
Great video. My neck is my weakest part. Many times my right arm has gone numb. Twice I lost the use of my right arm and was very painful. Retired early because of my arm. My therapst was great but never mentioned the chin tuck. So glad I found you guys. Love You. Thanks
What about pain in your armpit from a pinched nerve in your shoulder blade area? It started with just constant pain, now its tingling too. It started after I tried doing arm lifts with a chair to tighten my under arms. Today I tried going to a P.T for dry needling and it helped temporarily but it's still there!
Thanks B & B Some of those positions with the pillows shown is what i did intuitively re my arm & i did some other exercises too 2 days later feeling much improved as i had that issue in conjunction with a bruised elbow so yeah cause of the bruised elbow possible pinched nerve tight tendon it was very very uncomfortable to straighten my arm etc...
Thank you for all your suggestions. I had so much pain for a week, now I'm down to a numb/tingling hand. Any suggestions on how to go one step further and be pain free?

I dont know how people sleep like this. I go to sleep vertically on my bed and wake up horizontally.🤣🤣🤣🤣with all my pillows are on the floor.
I did have a thing going at my neck area ...those suggestions for sleep positions really was very helpful, thanks!!
You fellows are the best! Thank you for all your help!!
You just don't know how grateful iam to both of you been out of commission for 2 weeks because of what we suspect is cervical radioculopathy . I watched youre video on it and i felt relief when i did the chin tuck and looking up. Thank you again you guys are the best
GOD BLESS YOU 🙌 🙏 ❤
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVISING!!!
What if you have a numb arm that is worse when laying on the opposite arm or your back? My arm numbness started after laying on the opposite side
So Bob and brad first off i just discovered your videos and am using to relieve neck pain. What is the best pillow for side sleeper with neck pain.
Thank you
Jim
These videos have helped me so much these past couple of months! Love both of you and your humor! THANK YOU and please keep making videos~
Well sadly i have it in my hand my pinky and ring finger and part of my hand and nothing helps im only 16 i don't know what to do i seen a doctor he said its a pinched nerve and that's it :(
My hands numb
@@Creditdump those feel awful! I hope you feel better. I am back to 100%. Ask your doctor if you can take ibuprofen. That sped up my recovery from my pinched nerve. These videos and the ones teaching to stretch really helped too. I hope you feel better soon!
@@danielaotero8094 Thanks i had it for 3 months and still going :( i looked it up it said something about sergery
@@Creditdump That must be tough to deal with for that long. Maybe see a doctor maybe they can refer you to physical therapy. If surgery is their only answer, it would be worth talking to your doctor. You are still young. I wish you well!!
Iv been struggling for years with recurring pinched nerve pain in my left shoulder. Causing pain & tingling. It gets especially bad when I'm at work due to me sitting all day long in front of a computer. It is true that "regular" shoulder, back, & neck exercises are the only thing that allow my shoulder to stay healthy. Whenever I stop the exercise the pain comes back within a couple of months.
I had arthoscopic elbow surgery a week ago and when my nerve block wore off my left thumb the underside was numb so is part of the palm and the index finger is essentially sore but it's better then the tingling numbness of the thumb that occasionally gets sharp pain. I think it's a trapped nerve just stretching sends shooting pain up to my elbow and out my two fingers and palm. I say my thumb but it's also not because touching things hurts.
I absolutely love you guys. You saved me from so much pain.
Hi!
I have a tickling sensation from 2 months and low pain in my elbow. I get most tickling sensation while sleeping. Is it because of pinch nerve ? 🥺🥺
Wow! The pain centralized to the back of the neck in one session! I am hoping for full recovery. I tell everyone about yall! Thank you for all you do!
How it go ?
Yes I see that. Love these guys
Thank you sir for all the right knowledge, I am following you last 3 years
Thanks Bob and Brad. This technique really helped me. You guys are great!
You two are so funny. I love watching you, also you educated us all. Thank you so so much. 🙏🙏
So I have a pinched nerve that starts out on my back up to my neck, my right shoulder, my forearm and the back of my hand. How do these exercises work if it keeps pinching on the nerve a little bit, doesn’t that aggravate the nerve further? And prolong the healing process?
Pinch Nerve in right upper shoulder. Therapy is pressure point in web between thumb anr froefinger. Had atrophying loss of use of left thumb, and all the docs stuff did not work. This did it.
What about exercises to avoid? I'm strength training 4x/week - are there any upper body movements I should put on hold for now?
Hey Bob, hey Brad! Do you gentlemen believe that massage therapy can help? I’m curious because not only do I have a pinched nerve but I also have costochondritis and also have a very bad right after ACL injury I believe all of these injuries began one after the other and just got more aggressive as I got older
I have pinched nerves in both my hands, I have numbness in my fingers of both hands, and sometimes when I’m doing something I get a jolt of electricity in my hand.
Terrible. Hope u got some relief
Tens machine.. get one from Amazon... hope this helps
i feel for you i hope you find treatment
tingling in the index finger tip and down the top side of the forearm is always pinched nerves in the 5 and 6 vertebrae. chin tucks and keep pushing the vertebrae back has helped me a lot. Yes, the pain is life changing, sleep, work, nothing funny, always looking for a place to relax. Not a good state in life...get some medical help!
Wow you just saved my night!. I was in horrible pain through the entire evening until I came across this video!. Really appreciate what you are doing!.
Relieved in 2 days !!!! Thanks guys!
I have irritated nerves in both my arms, I use the tunnel method for sleeping and rotate ever 30 min. This method is a lifesaver. But still, it's hard to get a good sleep with these conditions... I hope it gets resolved soon...
I to have both arms with numbness
This video literally made my week. My fingers were numb every few minutes due to sleeping incorrectly. Thank you so much.
Help me !!! I cant feel my pinky !
I don't know if I have a pinched nerve my left arm and leg pain
I got a nerve in the needle while collecting blood at the hospital, and I have hand numbness and pain that lasted for a year. Is there an appropriate treatment?
so its fine if the pain migrated puwards? it started as tingling in the hands, now I feel in the biceps region in both arms its not pain but it's a costant disconfort but comes and goes specially when stop paying atention to it
i have major back issues ever since a teenager in highschool!! have always tried yoga and all kinds of things but eventually in life something herniates or bulges again and i gota deal with the pain... this time it happened as i guess cuz im aging the disk problems seemed to have pinched my axiliary and median nerves never had that happen before.... this video legit brought immediate relief to my inflamed axillary nerves . going to add this neck extension exercise into my routine tyvm. sadly i expect this to get worse as i continue to age with no insurance for surgery for the forseable future. again thank you for this usefull info and exercise
I have a pain from the nerve inside my armpits. It goes all the way to my Fore arm. Please advise what should i do. It started after a Run
Can also roll your back on 1 , 2 or 3 2ltr bottles fill with water n freeze
Then roll your back to the neck
Works great
Also the towel method stretching the neck and holding the towel using small neck movements back front left right side to side . very minute movements
Thanks for your video. I love the rapport you two have, the way you correct each other really helps get the points across. The tips on sleeping are very useful. I have ordered the book you recommended.
I'd love to know why my pinched nerve is causing pain on chin tucks and when I tilt my head to affected side... also some pain in armpit and shoulder area only upon tilting head to that side
I have a pinched nerve in my right shoulder and it throbs all the way down my right arm. I'm so miserable. It makes it very hard to work and click a mouse all day. Been to two physical therapy sessions so far...Hope I start to feel better soon
I hope you are feeling better now, I’ve got this now!
@@RosieCosmetic have you gotten any relief ? Mines hurts so bad
@y mason have you gotten any relief and if so what did you do ?
@@lornakist Yes I'm completely healed. After about my third physical therapy session the pain down my arm went away and then after the 6th and final therapy session I felt 90% better. I now have no pain which surprises me because of how much pain I was in
@@lornakist the pain has mostly gone but I still get really intense pins and needles very regularly!
Would just like to say... sleeping the way they said to relieved most of my pain, thank you so much gentlemen
I’ve got a trapped nerve in my left shoulder. Don’t know which nerve that’d be. Sends pains down my left arm. When doing those extension exercises are you looking for the pain to start disappearing over a long period? When I do them it causes some pain straight away. Always figured that causing pain wasn’t a good thing but is that not the case?
This was the only video that helped my pain thanks ma doods.
That helped so much; thank you!!! The pain was shooting down my arm, now it's only in my upper arm. So much better than before!
thanks so much!!!! hope my pinched nerve pain goes away soon.
We do too!
Really useful info (for someone who is currently suffering from a pinched nerve). Thank you. However, I do wish that these gents could shout louder into the microphones.
Hi thankyou for these videos. My problem is that my right my right hand fingers are consistently numb and tingling. It's right now inseparable. I had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder about 4 yrs ago and I am wondering if this is a contributing factor. Please help.
Meant unbearable
So am I correct that one pillow is only necessary for sleeping on your back? But two pillows is ok for sleeping on your side ? Thanks!
Try wearing a back brace. The simple black kind with velcro straps. It stopped the pain immediately. And I also trained my lower back more. The issue was due to a weak core/ lower back from sitting at a computer 8+ hours a day.
Your video couldn't have come at a better time! One of the coronavirus symptoms is pinched nerves, as well as losing smell and taste.
Great video. My neck is my weakest part. Many times my right arm has gone numb. Twice I lost the use of my right arm and was very painful. Retired early because of my arm. My therapst was great but never mentioned the chin tuck. So glad I found you guys. Love You. Thanks
What about pain in your armpit from a pinched nerve in your shoulder blade area? It started with just constant pain, now its tingling too. It started after I tried doing arm lifts with a chair to tighten my under arms. Today I tried going to a P.T for dry needling and it helped temporarily but it's still there!
You guys are the BEST!!! Thank you!!!
We are happy we can help!
Thanks B & B
Some of those positions with the pillows shown is what i did intuitively re my arm & i did some other exercises too 2 days later feeling much improved as i had that issue in conjunction with a bruised elbow so yeah cause of the bruised elbow possible pinched nerve tight tendon it was very very uncomfortable to straighten my arm etc...
I’ve had cts for 6 months and sweet fa is working
I started a work vacation. Right when the vacation starts I end up getting a pinched nerve. Life really sucks big time.
Omg that’s the worst luck! SMH
Dang
same thing happened to me.
Starred a new job, the agonizing pinch.
Thank you for all your suggestions. I had so much pain for a week, now I'm down to a numb/tingling hand. Any suggestions on how to go one step further and be pain free?
Hey, How did you recover from this?
