Because of RUclips,,,you’re so gullible
@@willj8814 what does that even mean
sugar dadies
I was dealing with sciatica for 4 months, wasn’t sure what was causing it but conservative approaches like physical therapy did absolutely nothing. One day the pain became absolutely unbearable and I was bedridden for almost a month, could not work, could not shower for a whole week, and lost 10 pounds because I could not get out of bed to feed myself. Had an MRI and it showed a severely herniated L5-S1. I was numb and the pain was so bad I’d cry every day. I was at risk of cauda equina. I had surgery less than a week after my MRI and it was absolutely life changing, no pain anymore. Sometimes conservative options are best, but in my case surgery was the only option. If all conservative approaches fail, I highly recommend a microdiscectomy. Saved my life.
I am writing this because hopefully it helps someone with a similar situation. For the last 6 months my lower back felt "out of place". I felt a pop while playing basketball and never felt the same. The first 6 weeks were excruciating. Since then, it hurts to walk around, sit too long, and needs to be relieved every few hours with stretching. Every doc prescribed me drugs or PT. I hate drugs as I am 25 and the pT did nothing for me. They said it was most likely a herniated disk... well they were wrong. Turns out, my SI Joint was locked in a position. A Chiropractor saved my life. After 15 minutes of examining me, he was able to identify the problem and all it took was one easy pop to put it back in place. Literally never thought I was going to be able to surf or play hoops again. Couldn't believe it. If you feel this way, please, go check out a chiropractor, it could seriously change your life with one pop like it did for me.
Who was your chiropractor?
HOLY SHIT BRO...I INJURED MY BACK 14 MONTHS AGO PLAYING BASKETBALL...AND NOW I HAVE PAIN IN THE LOWER LEFT BACK AND HAVE A COUPLE BULGES...I HAVE GROIN PAIN TOO...I LANDED AWKWARDLY AND FELT A POP IN MY LOWER BACK....
@@tlz124 MY CHIROPRACTOR DID SHIT FOR ME SAW HIM 3 TIMES CHARGED ME 60 BUCKS AND TOLD ME TO FUCK MYSELF....I ASKED HIM IF HE KNEW ABOUT PROLOTHERAPY AND HE SAID THAT WAS ONLY FOR JOINTS....RIGHT THEN I KNEW I WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO HIM AGAIN....SUCKS WHEN THESE PROFESSIONAL WONT HELP YOU CAUSE OF YOUR RACE OR BECAUSE THEY DONT GIVE A SHIT....I BASICALLY HAVE TO SEE A ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON NOW...WHICH I HAVE TO WAIT TO BE REFERRED TO HIM...FUCK THESE ASSHOLES WHO DONT WANT TO HELP..
Joseph Suarez that’s what I literally feel. I have a deep sharp lower back pain on my lower left side. I can’t do shit if I sit for to long and I try to get up my back hurts. I constantly hear it crack and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t even bend down correctly. I just tried to do pogo jumps and I couldn’t because my lower left back is so fucked up.
I play basketball too and I am feeling a really bad pain on my lower back to the right, I thought it was SI joint at first but I did workouts and stretches for it and the pain remains, now I believe it is herniated disk. I also feel kinda of like a bulge there, seems like it is out of place, every time I do a crossover, it hurts. When I sit too long or run to fast, it hurts too. I've been dealing with it for like 3 months now
I was in unbearable back pain and either unable to walk or walking crooked for a week and I ended up going to an urgent care place. The doctor didn’t even do any of the stuff in this video. Sadly, I think a detailed physical exam is becoming a lost art in medicine. Lots of doctors just want to order expensive tests instead. What helped me more than anything was a stretch you guys showed in another video. I had significantly reduced pain within 24 hours and in 48 hours i was almost normal again. Thank you so very much!!!!!
Hi, do you know which video has the stretching exercises? I'm in pain
How are you doing now?
@@DingDong2-iy7vb I injured my back again about a month ago with the same symptoms. I was absolutely miserable for a week and now I feel almost back to normal. I couldn’t go to work for a week. The first few days I had a lot of difficulty walking and the muscle spasms are like some medieval torture. The muscle relaxants make me really sleepy so I basically slept most of the week. I still have a little sciatic pain in my calf that comes and goes but it’s getting less frequent. This is like the 4th or 5th time it’s ever happened and it’s probably just going to keep happening. Sometimes it’s only moderate and sometimes it’s very severe. Thanks for asking.
Brad's acting skills are top knotch. 😀 Thanks for your assistance guys.
Thank you so much for the self tests to perform and the detailed symptoms. Too each question asked I was saying yes. Gives me some idea what's going on with my back. Thanks
2 wonderful physiotherapists...🙂...i have followed many of their videos and they have helped a lot.
Great video guys! Thanks for the upload
Spot on, gentleman! I've had all these for 37 years, herniated disk L5-S1 caused by a stupid RTC with a motorbike and fell flat on my buttocks, I was slim at the time, 130 pounds. Even so the damage was done.
Thank you guys for a very good video.
I've been off work for almost three months with a herniated disk now. I happen to have mine affecting both sides of my buttocks and legs. 75% of the pain is down the left and 25% on the right. CT scan confirmed that it is affecting both sides. Since I've found your channel, you guys have helped regain my mobility and flexibility (slowly and steadily). I'm hoping to go back to work soon!
Hope you're well Brad and continue to be the positive and resilient version of yourself Bob!
How are you now??are you painfree?? Did you had surgery???
@Preeti-lw9jc thanks for asking, I'm going onto 7 months of not working, I had to throw in my job and I'm in the process of awaiting my outcome for disability. Didn't have surgery but I go to a physio that helps!
I also have fibromyalgia, which makes everything so much harder
Thanks for asking 💜
I’m in pain just watching this!! Great video!! Thank you
Thank you lads! Everything turned out fine for me.
Great video thank you so much
different tests for me. i layed down on my back and had to lift my feet up just a few inches off the bed. it was very difficult and painful. so i did one leg at a time. still the same. 2 years on , its slightly easier. but i get pain in lower back. shoots down right light leg to the knee. the heel at times. both sides of groin and inside thighs tingle when ive been walking a while. I cant bend or lift things. my consultant was usless. after tell me i had a protuding disc a ddd, he sent me to a physio that said walking is the best exercise. but im glad i found your videos .
My pain is isolated to the middle. Right on the sacrum. Greatest pain is when I stand in one position too long. I'm starting to feel jolts every now and then that practically bring me to my knees !
Yeah, I need to go and get this fixed. I've had it for a while and it's driving me nuts. Though only 21, I spend the majority of my day sitting and writing, so my inactive lifestyle probably caused this.
push ups helped me i had the fake verison tho
@@nikkakillss explain the fake version.
@@nikkakillss bro I’m 28 and I’m dying this shit been hurting for 8 months
@@fabianreah1708 basically the fake one is just muscle ache which goes away after a bit but just has painfull i couldn’t walk for a day i was freaking out but slow but sure i recovered fully
Great video thank you unfortunately I have a lot of pain in my lower back
I have sciatica and dr said i don't have any disc issues and its just a post covid, yet i tried this and found out i really dont have one! Im still doing the mckenzie from you guys and it helps me alot with the muscle spams that replicate sciatica
Thanks guys, you're awesome!
You guys do the best videos without trying to be too knowledgeable to get business. I'd see you guys in a heartbeat.
Hi guys I wanna ask how to get away of calf cramp?I always have cramp on my right side cramp
Thank you for that info
Very helpful!
Thank you for the exercises. It really helps with my back pain.
Try a neck traction device, this changed my life!! Seriously I was in so much pain, and after using one, I had most of the pain leave. I use it everyday at home, just put it on the door, and correctly put it on my chin and it pulls my spine apart correctly.
I wish I was a liquid metal terminator. Humans are so fragile.
i agree👍👍
Bones are actually stronger than concrete but yeah were also fragile
actually ive seen enough skate board accidents to know bones r not stronger then bones. but yes concrete erodes faster then bone. and over time bone becomes brittle. time and pressure and friction can destroy anything.
bones r not stronger then concrete
aja wylie ive skated for 9 years and had a few motorbike accidents in my life that damaged my knee pretty badly but ive only broken one tiny bone, bones are strong lol
What do you do in the first several days after a disk slip. Pain control, swelling ..etc?
Thank you
Thank you for the info ..my question to you is how accurate is SLR to diagnose slipped disc & what is SLR,seated leg raises,bend forward & backward , dorsiflexion tests are negative?
Thank you for posting for everyone who doesn't go to the doctor. LOL and those waiting for an MRI scheduled in 2 WEEKS. ......
I will certainly try them. the mri showed l4,l5, s1. just can't take this pain much longer.
Thank you.
I failed all 3 tests and now the pain goes all the way down to my foot.😒love your channel.
Ouch 🤕
Good video. Doctors are expensive and my job doesn't offer benefits. I'm going to the doctor, but like when I go to the mechanic, I like to have an idea of what's going on before I walk in. These test were a big help. Thanks. I'm thinking a normal doctor can handle this, so I won't pick up a bill from a more expensive sports specialist. I think - and hope - my situation isn't too serious. I probably have a disc issue based on these test, that nerves is definitely getting some pressure, but I can still deadlift 315lbs down from my max of 455, so it can't be that bad.... It even went away on its own after two months out of the gym. It just came back because I immediately screwed up again after going back.
Doctor just told me that I have herniated disc. Man, it hurts like hell when you sit down, stand up, walk etc.
Shd Isml same
Me too for 37 years, but I knew what was a excruciating pain when I had kidney stones. Oh, yeah!

And move, and wipe your rear end, and shower, and roll over, and burp, and fart, and cough, and sneeze.
It is completely debilitating until you get some relief and it starts to ease up.
I feel your pain, brother.
@@PanhandlePrepping are you doing better?
R J
Yes thanks.
Was completely bedridden for 6 days with the most recent flare up.
Had a facet injection and epidural and it got me moving again.
Went for a new MRI and I have 4 herniated discs and stenosis everywhere.
I have 2 herniated discs in L4 and L5 but never any shooting pains or nerve issues... I do yoga and I can lift my leg straight up and only feel it deep in the back.
Love you guys 💙
That first test literally brought me to tears. Raising my leg had pain shooting through my hip area like fireworks and then like a spasm. Holy smokes. I definitely can't sneeze or brush my teeth or hair like I normally do because the pain is too severe if I try to bend over even a millimetre. Thank goodness I have a Dr's appointment on Monday. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. So very painful, especially if it shows down for sec because of meds or simply how your body is positioned but then one wrong move and bam, the pain is back tenfold.
copegog80 I hope a speedy recovery for you stay strong
I am so sorry you are going through this. I had the same exact symptoms as you, turns out I had a badly herniated disc. If you can, please get an MRI. Surgery saved my life. Hope you heal, so sorry.
I'm now exactly in your place two years ago... Absolutely agonising pain
It's now years later and the pain is still there. Going for another MRI soon. Hopefully they see something that can be fixed. I too, wouldn't wish this on anyone.
@@copegog80Hey, one year later again. How are you doing? Reading stuff like this makes me really grateful that I am, for the most part, perfectly healthy.
If you have one, you probably already know it lol. I was able to do the first two tests without much problem. Dr. never had me do the third one. I wonder if it was because it was already degenerating, but my disc was certainly hitting my spinal cord. Bodies are weird like that.Thankfully, I was able to wait it out until it disintegrated (mostly). Hopefully it won't happen with my other degenerative discs. Great video guys! The floor reminds me of the early 80's :)
i think its cool your account is 15 years old..
Thank you doctors ❤. i have a question plz, my back hurts, i can't stand by myself anymore, and my arms and feet are verry weak now. my doctor told me i have desical hernia. my question is: is the MRI scan necessary for surgery?
Love bob and brad
Thank you Faith!
Thank u so much . i was confused that iam having slip disc . but none these test created pain in my leg or lower back . so iam happy that o don't have a herniated disc
I can pass the tests walking on my heels and on my toes. I have herniated discs at L4-L5, L5-S1, and I've had two previous surgeries at L5-S1. Unfortunately not everyone has the common symptoms.
Do you recommend on going to a chiropractor? Hope you do reply.
Those three quick tests they are the very interesting. If you have mild symptoms like periodic numbness in one foot and some lower back pain but no positive sign on these tests in the video is this possibly just nerve root irritation of the spine ? a strain? How long should one wait if you have a few or mild symptoms? Also, I have read that some people with a herniated disc may have no symptoms is this true?
Is it true that strengthening the muscles around the spine can help with disc problems?
I have bulging of intervertebral disc L3/L4 and L4/L5 neuroframines are free, also light protrusion of L5/S1 broad based neuroframines are free according to medical report of my MRI. I have back pain and light sciatica pain for a month, the first 2 weeks I've had urinary retention but I don't anymore how serious is my case?
How can I tell if I have a herniated disc in my cervical spine?
I have neck pain, numbness and tingling that radiates from my neck, through my shoulder and down my arm. It occasionally also goes to my pinky and ring finger on left hand.
Hi guys! I have back problems ! How can I touch with these two wonderful physical therapysist?? I want to ask some good exercises for me. I'm afraid of doing wrong exercises . :)
Hi dr. thanks for the very helpful videos indeed. I am suffering from L5S1 disc bulgue. Which set of exercises should I follow? And I would be more than happy if to have your contact email. thanks!
everytime i contract my spine my lower back crack and it hurts .....what is wrong there??
I had 4 months of Freedom from pain but, I decided to Shovel up some dirt to plant a bush and I threw my back out again. Last time it took me all the way from August to May to get healed. God I pray this goes away soon.
now this pain you are talking about you feel in your leg is that constant pain after the injury or pain just when the injury had occurred?
I went to a chiropractor for a sciatica, the first time improve a little bit, but the second adjustment got me at the same point of pain, I couldn't sleep at all, the pain on my calf was terrible, I was fixed two days in a row , I don't know if that was ok.
Pd: I really like your channel you guys are awesome!!!
Pain down both legs; occasionally, look for UMNL in cervical spine... Bwofford DC, QME
02:50 : "Unable" like in "your muscles don't do what they're supposed to", or " it is painful to do that"?
Mine wasnt effected by any of those tests but the pain wont stop. It goes across my back at hip level n through my stomach n hips. Not down my leg. Cant get to see a doctor due to backlog of cancelled appointments from lockdown in UK. Cant get to see a doctor face to face, only a phone consultation. I'm taking antinflamitorie n pain relief tablets daily so I can keep working or I get no money.
I was diagnosed with a herniated disk as the bottom left side of my back hurt and flexibility is poor. But I have never had the leg or buttock pain mentioned. Instead I developed a trapped nerve in my neck and got a numbness in my fingers on my left hand. Despite the nerve feeling like it was on the left. After exercises I think it is untrapped yet I still have some numbness in one finger. I wish there were details on the net for a herniated disc that isn't always related to the leg and such. I still have that feeling that the disc isn't healed.....Sorry to sort of go on but I guess I am venting some frustration at my situation.
I am sure there's something pushing my nerve but I am not sure what is it, I tell you why. For the exercises: I am very flexible but if you someone tries to raise my leg up somewhere around 45° I feel tension in my upper bottom, but as soon as it goes forward to my chest(I'm flexible) there is no pain, just at that degree a tension. I can walk on toes and knees without a problem, funny enough I don't feel any pain when plum and raise my leg but when my spine is straight and raising. Sometimes I cannot raise my leg straight when I am standing but after some warm up I can with a little bit pain. Laughing, coughing, sneezing do not cause any pain. THIS GOES FOR MORE THAN 7 MONTHS NOW. In the begging my movement range was very low I couldn't even sit sometimes it got better over time now what I've written in the begging stayed and doesn't go away, I don't know why but I started feeling numbness under my knee, especially my foot AFTER 6 months, well just sometimes not always when I was walking, now I woke up 3 three days ago and the numbness magically disappeared. I am a dancer I don't feel pain when I move my hips, I can move it in a very wide range, just when I'm streching. The most easier way where I can make me feel the pain is when I bend over, NO PAIN YET, and flex my "inner" butt muscles. Also sitting doesn't bother me, sometimes helps. The X-ray didn't show anything, will go to MRI. Also if I do some exercise like for 1 hour, it gets better warmed up, but as soon as I cool down about 30 or 60 minutes later it hurts like never before if I want to raise my leg but it wears off after a night. Any idea?
I have horrible lower back pain every morning along with my legs being weak (like you feel when you have the flu) stepping over a shoe on the ground is a scary thing some mornings it can last any where from around 2-6 hrs on a normal day but it can take a week or two to get straitened out it loosens up wish there was something I could do. I failed the slump test with both legs.one travels up to my shoulder blade the other to my middle to lower back. Also if i stoop over to do something like working on a car im limited to 3 min and then have to take 10-15 min break. it has 100% changed my life and It affects me everyday in almost everything I do. I have to plan every detail out thoroughly so I dont Piss it off otherwise it has put me down for a week before. used to be very active and still an just not like i used to be. Really takes the wind out of your sail some days!
Hello Dr. I have pain on my back and left leg but I can do those tests so easily without pain :/
Great job guys! I am having bad pain in the center of my lower back (spine) I don't get pain walking but if I lye on my bed I have to get help to get up can u please help me
If you feel weakness in your back before it "goes out", is a brace helpful until it strengthens?
Weird Penn and Teller segment but I enjoyed it
Is there a way of testing the pain might be caused by a herniated disk or maybe from a piriformis issue? I can't lift my leg very high in either test 1 or test 3 but i haven't been stretching my hamstrings since I've been getting pain, so that could contribute to that? I can do the walking on heels/tip toes no problem though. Thank you
These tests will likely be positive for pirifomis too because the nerve is been stretched.
These guys RULE
All day I was laying on the bed for not triggering my sciatica pain. But while watching this video I had raised my right leg to identify if I have herniated disc. You what happened then - I started feeling the pain which I have been trying to avoid from the morning.
Santosh Reddy it is frustrating good luck with your injury
Tanku sir
Hi doctor i just had an mri scan the report says that mild disc bulges in l4 l5 s1i had lower back pain but now it is better but i still sometimes have this small stinging sensation on my right lower back some times left side. And can i do weight lifting?? Ill be thankful for your reply
Thank I had doubt if I have a herniated disk now am okay by the grace of God
Could these symptoms also just be for a strained back or pulled back
I am a new subscriber, and would like your opinion. 35 years now i have been dealing with back pain i am 40 now. I did injure it a couple times in elemertry school really bad; back then when i did hurt my back my patents never took me in to have it looked at. The last 3 yrs it has gotten really bad. I do have a L1 compression fracture from 8 years ago due to falling. Rite now i am dealing with lower back pain that alternates between my left and rite side where my siatica is; once in a while across my whole lower back I also get a slight pain in my pelvic area when the pain gets worse. When it gets bad enough, sometimes i get slight pain in my butt cheek. The pain is always in the same place and never deviates. Some days the pain is mild and others days it almost puts me into tears. I have been to the Dr's a few times about it, all i get is the same answer, tight muscles. Please give me some sort of insight on what it might be. THANK YOU
And ryt now prone lying is also very painful for him...pain strts radiating in B/L lower limbs so i cannot strt off wid McKenzie technique so should i strt with manual therapy and can you upload some videos of the manual therapy whuch will be helpful for his condition. Thank you sir
Hi, How i can differentiate between herniated disc and piriformis syndrome? As, I am having sever pain in my left buttock and in calf muscle, but as I have tried the test you had shown and I am not feeling the pain as it is shown by you.
So if just the slouch position is painful but Not lifting the leg, what would that mean
please advise me some therapy or any thing.I have no radiating pain in my legs or anywhere else. only pain in both upper buttocks and mid back and low back then upper back .I cannot sit no longer than 4 hrs ,cannot able to walk more than one hour .pain sometimes in shoulder too .please .
I pulled something in my back three days ago and my back is in constant spasm. I have fibromyalgia with pain equal in all four limbs. I have not had any neck or back pain for over 20 years but this is a re-injury. Back in the day I had thoracic and lumbar MRIs and a neurosurgeon said it looked excellent but how can I be in so much pain and why don’t the spasms stop? Do I need medication in order to break that cycle? I’m able to lay down and raise my legs very high the pain is unchanged when I do that what do you suggest besides a 57 magnum or a Glock?
Doctor I have pain shooting down my buttocks to my knee sometimes making my foot fall asleep. I’m in the military and I don’t want to see someone if it’s something simple what can I do? I’ve been told from people it’s sciatica but what can I do?
i was hoping you guys could help...and yes I just subscribed I think your channel is great !!
heres my situation
Went to the gym the other day and ran, did some sit ups then biceps. Came home feeling fine and then wham! out of no where my back started really killing me. Ive had back problems before but nothing to severe. Anyway i dealt with it for a day then decided to to some stretching. McKenzie stretch and some others that I have seen around and stuff from your channel. After stretching I was really in a rough way. My back hurt worse than before and now I had this pain running down my thigh in the front. Not in back like normal Siatica . I went to bed that night and got up and my back pain was gone. Yep back pain was gone. But my thigh pain still remains ....its is really bothering me and I feel like maybe a disc is an issue. My doctor ran me through the same tests you described and I do not have a problem performing any of them. What the hell is wrong with me?
Please help!
+physicaltherapyvideo .....sounds good...its great that someone actually replies to their comments and in this case a question. Thanks much!
I have excruciating pain local to a lower disc but don’t have any shooting pains into buttocks or legs so I guess I’m ok.
On the third test I feel a stretch on the out left side of my left leg that gets worse when I push my head down. On the right leg I barely have that. Does this mean I have that?
If all tests are negative but there is localised pain in around L4,5 and S1 what it could be other than spinal stenosis??!! Thanks
if the pain is localized only to the central lower back ,pain not propagating down can it still be a case of herniated disk?
Hard to even attempt the 2nd test when you have plantar fasciitis.. your unable to do that.. so am curious what would ya have them do in that case.. and boy i have that 1st test on the nose for the T4 disc and somedays i feel in my cervical from the post whiplash. Egads uncomfortable nothing it is painful.. whew... but thanks once again for this video even for it being a 5 yr vlog ..
I have sciatica like symptoms in both legs, that to I will experience alternatively. If my leg leg hurts right will be normal and if my right leg hurts left will be normal....May I know the reason for this
I believe I herniated a lower disc doing deadlifts. It was in early March. It's end of May. Could it have healed on its own that quickly?
you are the best
Can the first test hurt even without a herniated disc? I have suspected sciatica and to lift a leg and have a doc push forward on it hurts, but also other leg.
I' m 22 & I hav a severe back pain on my right leg , when I try to bend down (keeping knee straight) ...plzz suggest me some exercises to get rid off from this pain
Ihavd 4 slipped disc in same place over 1 year and twice I was getting vibrating foot is this norma I have it now from slipped disc last week slipped disc but back doesnt hurt anymore ? And stabbing pain just inside above knee on same leg..I also had no pain In leg but could walk with pain in back . Thanks
I don't get pain for these tests. But my MRI was shown as scientist
. I don't have any pain in hip but I have worst pain side of my leg. It's terrible
I had an MRI done and paperwork to back it up and the surgeon from the University of Kansas refused to look at the proof showing the damage and just threw it up on her desk. Who can I contact to get this straightened out. The disability judge put me on full disability benefits as a result of having an In juried lumbar spine. Who can I contact about this?
I don't have back pain but some kind of pain behind femur or on lateral side of femur and there is mild weakness in calf..... Plz guide
I adore u two 🥺🥺
I had this last fall. It was so bad I couldn't walk in the end, but it started with just a little pain on the right side of my lower back, then tingling and numbness sensation down my leg and then serious pain the whole right side of my lower body . The pain in my leg was almost like someone twisting my muscles in different directions, burning sensation and I couldn't feel my toes at times. My physiotherapist gave me some easy exercises and it went away, though the numbness stayed for a while. I started getting some pain again, so I've been trying to remember and do the exercises but I can't remember many of them... I should've kept the papers I got with the instructions but I didn't.
Thank you for your reply. yes I was doing regular core exercises during my physio after the majority of the pain eased. my main question is would a herniated disc always show signs on an mri even after its healed? Sorry that question probably got lost in my last question I was just trying to give you a quick back story😊
How are you now? And did you recover pls help
@@111himanshurana9Hiya, it is now 5+ years since my injury at work. I have had 2 sessions of injections in my back under x-ray, the first one did not help at all the second one gave me 2 weeks relief, I am now awaiting an appointment for a 3rd session. I have learned to live with my injury, I no longer do the things I did pre injury that now cause me pain, my life has changed a lot but I have learned to manage it as best I can. When I over do it I take an anti- spasmatic tablet at night and really rest for a few days. But mostly I'm not active like pre injury as with little effort, such as lifting a bag of shopping, washing a floor etc my lower back goes into spasm and the pain can last for days if I do not rest and take medication. I cannot sit, stand for long and I still cannot sleep without a pillow between my knees. The worst part is not knowing exactly what injury I have had, as I've been told different by every doctor. All I know is one day I was fine and the next day my life was completely changed forever, I'm only 38 but feel like 68 with my limitations 🙁
I have schmorls nodes in 3 places on my spine, what helps the pain with that?
i got an acl reconstruction surgery and i have pain on my lumbar spine and it feels as if i have a right hamstring that won't let me bend. do you guys know what this is?
I notice physical therapists try to make you think it's all in your head and that it's on you to make yourself feel better. I have a l5 slipped 12mm causing severe foraminal stenosis not being helped that there's a defect in there making it pinched plus a mild disc herniation pushing on it I cant wait for my spinal fusion!
