I've lived with back pain since my 20s when I slipped and fell in my bathtub. Now in my 50s. Can't count how many times my back has gone out from lifting something heavy to something as simple as sitting in my chair. I have been laid up in bed for weeks unable to move, to having to use canes to walk. I found this channel after my most recent back pain. That was 3 weeks ago. I have found the information in these videos extremely helpful in getting my back back up and better. Thank you Bob & Brad.
This just happened to me. I was cleaning the kitchen and my back went out. I had to lay over the island, and then hunch up the stairs to lay down to ice it. Needless to say, That is why I am here now.
Stooge Three at one time that happen to me as well. I sneezed & boom. & today I bend over to pick up my daughter & boom. I’m in so much pain right now. Crooked torso.
I have a similar job where I'm sitting all the time. We need to get up and walk. I feel much better when I'm walking so I make sure to walk even if it's just to the bathroom every hour. If I don't do this, my back freezes up and will go out. I have arthritis. Hopefully your job allows you to do this. Humans weren't meant to be sitting or stuck in one position for long periods of time. It's too bad modern life doesn't let us move the way were supposed to be!
The standing stretch I've been doing so much lately!! My work includes a lot of bending and picking up things!! I have a lot of these symptoms, so hoping to avoid my back going out! You guys are great!
Same, I sneezed multiple times in the shower, and I could feel it in my back. Then I Sneezed hard, and my back went out, and I fell backwards and was in a really difficult position. It took me a while to get out of the bathroom and into my room. I was in so much pain
I have the lower back pain where its hard for me to straighten up but when I wake up in the morning and stand and start to walk my legs feel like I have cramps in the shin calf and some times the hips and thighs both legs any idea about this any info would be great
You may have sciatica or inflammation. Both of which can be helped by anti-inflammatory meds. But I'm not a doctor. Just a patient with experience. If it persists and you're in pain, you should see a doctor and a physical therapist.
I’ve been straining/spraining (don’t know the difference) my low back for 15+ years. I probably have “crippled” myself about 7-8 times, I’m only 43. My most recent and worst one was last week where I had to use a cane to get to the car for a ride to urgent care for meds. Now I’ve always heard to ice it but I’ve always heated mine because it felt so tight. Heat always loosens me up and I can eventually stretch and crack my back. I tried ice one time and it got so tight I couldn’t move at all and was screaming in pain. I will never ice it again. I’ve never been stuck in bed more than 3 days until this last one which was 4 days. Now, I’m not 100% but I’m moving fine after 5 days. I always get prescribed muscle relaxers, naproxen and Tramadol. I only take the relaxers and Tramadol for 3 days usually.
So I have been dealing with a herniated disc and sciatica since Nov 2021. At its peak, it was the worst on thanksgiving. Since then I’d been improving. However, two days ago, I sneezed so hard my back went out and now I’m starting from 0. It’s so hard to endure. The pain makes me want to not be alive anymore.
If you guys still have your backs go out, what hope is there? : ) Seriously, this concise summary of information on warning signs and pre-emptive things to do is really helpful. I've jotted them down on a card to help improve my back habits. Also, for me now at day five after my worst sudden back strain, it is helpful even just hearing you say that just about everybody has his or her back go out now and then, and recovers. Encouraging. Thanks. Long time fan, first time commenter. Subscribed.
FOURTH VIDEO IN A ROW where I’m more than a minute into it and the “doctor” is still jacking us around. What is it with you doctors not knowing how to make videos - it’s like you think the point is squeezing out RUclips revenue…and what’s a doctor doing needing RUclips revenue? I think YOU need Dave Ramsey
Right where you placed that first white ball is where my back spasmed a couple days ago :/ took my breath away! its still painful! dont know what to do.. im 35 and trying to get back to normal.
I threw my back out yesterday. Never felt pain like it! It’s been almost 24 hours and i can’t get out of bed yet...pain is too intense. Hoping as each day goes on it will get easier to move.
Zinca calcium vit D3 morning Magniuesm glycate 200-500mg 1 hr b4 bed Alpha lipoic acid get organic ALA-R if it doesn't have R its synthetic not potent enough. Helps w/nerves Take turmeric ginger black pepper cayanee pepper mixed with oj & pineapple shots everymoring on empty stomach & night 1 hr b4 magneiusm & walking!!! Movement is health !
Thanks for this vid will def look out for signs. I'm a surfer and I do those push ups movements regularly.. back is ok after surf sessions but neck and shoulder would hurt from it. Then one day did a deadlift and then free hanging and cleaned the house bending over and ohhh my lord Jesus Christ.. that hunch rounded over posture did it.. felt like someone shot me in the back. Was on the ground for 3 hrs couldn't move or walk. The worst pain of my life.
Could you please create a video demonstrating proper techniques for managing personal hygiene while sitting in a confined space, including addressing challenges such as back spasms and the process of transitioning from a seated to a standing position? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much ❤
@bob&brad - do you still advise these hip rolls from side to side if you’re experiencing hip pain too? I have both lower back and hip pain like aching quite a lot
Went walking and my back tightened so much I thought I was not going to make it home. What do you make of that? Also, every time I get up I can't put weight on my left foot right away, feels like it's broken & turned in.This, combined with fibromyalgia is stealing my life away. I do love watching you guys though and do what stuff I can when it doesn't hurt.
I have the same problem sometimes where as walking doesn't help a sore back no matter how slow or paying attention to correct gait. I don't know what the answer is as it could be a combination of things such as tight hips, legs or other muscles in the chain causing or in conjunction with a herniated disc etc. I would quit walking and concentrate on stretches, correct movements and sleeping posture outlined in other vids to get to a point where later walking would be more of a physical maintenance thing.
The motto I live by is “Movement is life!” But since I started a medication for Graves’ disease (hyper thyroid) one of the side effects is weight gain. It’s one thing if someone gains 20 lbs in a year but I’ve gained 55 lbs in less than 6 months and my body just can’t handle it! My endocrinologist says there’s nothing that can be done but I refuse to accept that! I used to love walking, I even worked my way up to jogging, but now just a few steps makes my entire body tighten up, including my lower back. If I can’t exercise I for sure won’t have a chance at losing this weight!! Would you have any ideas on what I can do to release the tightness my lower back and entire body feel?
The slump position reminded me when I was in six grade 😊. Our teacher would walk between the rows of chairs and if our back was not straight she would put a ruler inside the back of the uniform 😂
Sliding off the bed doesn't help me.with my loser back herniated discs.... What i do is ... 1.sit on the edge of the bed and.place my hands around my back with the fingertips of each hand meeting at the center of my waistline (and with my thumbs holding on to the sides of my back). 2. I slide slightly forward until my feet are touching the floor.. and 3. .then I gently but firmly press my fingertips into the small of my back as i prepare to stand and continue to press until I'm in a standing position. I feel no pain getting up that way.
I can’t sit up to get off the bed, I can’t cross cross on the bed (like sitting in the middle of bed) In the morning when i head to work, i have to roll of the bed and “fall off” and then it take a looong time to straighten up. And throughout the day, there’s sharp pains shooting down my legs
I’m 37. I struggle daily just to get out of bed due to Osteoarthritis all in my spine. I also have bulging discs, bone spurs, and dried up discs. I wish I could have back surgery and get it all fixed but my doctor said surgery won’t fix it. I’m so tired of suffering. Can’t even work because of it, and other medical problems.
wow I have been suffering with a lower back pain and spasing the story of your dad is me know I can't find a way to lay down so the spasing stops I don't know what to do with myself
Excellent video !! I wish to see this advices at least 10 years ago..Now I have incidents..Can you give advice how to sit in the car? The car seat is literally made to attack our spines..How to sit in the car or adjust the seat with low back pain and 2 buldged discs L4-5 ?? Thanks.
I went to kick start my bike to go to work and Bam. Your videos helped me get back on my feet and given me the tools to help prevent it. Thank you loads
There's absolutely no way that I could do the lying down position and press up. It would feel like my back will break and would actually lock in that position. With a total knee replacement, I can't kneel on that operated knee at all. I'm limited to about 300' because of my knee.
Hi, Im a new fan. I have had back pain into static nerve for 2 years. I was diagnosed with spondylosis l3-s1 osteoarthritis with osteophytes. I went to a PT and she had me push weights lying down on a machine. I am a pro portrait painter, so instead of standing for hours with my arms out, I sat on a chair...was bent over my palette. I now can't walk too well for a few days. Very Painful. I need to paint as its what i do, but I'm in constant pain and numbness goes from piriformis to ankle! what do you recommend??? Should I stay away from the weights? Thx so much!!! You guyzzz are great!!!
I amvery used to sitting with poor posture. Is it normal that sitting up straight for long periods makes me feel tight and achey in my back? Is that just my back adjusting? Or could it be harmful and maybe I need to adjust more slowly?
can i do those press ups if i have had a spinal fusion L4L5 (6 years post op), and a recent diagnosis of disc degeneration L5S1 and mild arthrosis L1-L5, my back does feel pretty tight all the time
i get the feeling i should really have watched this, not gonna get into that, kinda of strange this is... my problem is my shoulders are kind of leaning forward, and i do a lot of push ups, which i dont know if worsens it. i stretch my shoulder and put pressure on them by having my hands on the sides of a door and leaning my body forward, which seems to be helping
Anti inflammatories and ice, then leave things ready for the next day, cause you won't be able to walk, crawling on hands and knees is least painful . Stay in bed for 2 days then start the physio. Start trying too stand and walk on day 3 for 10mins every 2hrs,walk,bed,walk,bed. On day 4 walk around the house for half an hour every 2 hrs then bed, avoid sitting. Day5 you should be walking without much discomfort, but it will take a another 7 to 10 days for the strength and stability to build in your back. This works for me, I've torn the same little muscle 8 times over 25yrs mostly on a half bent over rotational movement.
I bent over to fill dogs bowl.. boom went out... crawled outside and called 911 because I couldn’t get up. Worst pain on earth, and the spasms were insane. I had to use a walker for a week..
I've been doing yoga more regularly now, but the thing is I'm not very active. I think when I went into plank then into cobra and then into a downward facing dog I went too fast. I also have been a tech (web design) student for quite some time, you sit a lot in front of a computer, I've been telling myself to adjust my posture but now I'm just laying here watching videos on how to fix this...
I went on a ship cruise and I noticed that I my walking pace got slower and slower and then I had some pain put it got so bad I had back spasms and couldn't even move. I think my body was working to hard as the ship rocked side to side.
I threw my back out once and I tried sitting on the edge of a bed and slowly lowering my self down using core muscles untill I felt a pop in lower back, instant relief, what do you think happened there? Self chiro adjustment?
Likely. Ive had that happen to me multiple times. Sometimes if I lay flat in my back or on my stomach it'll crack and get I instant relief during a spasm. Its likely that you had some nerve impingement and the crack adjusted the vertebrae away from the nerve.
when I throw my middle back out. why is it I can't bend down? I have to stay straight or probably perfect posture. i cant lean or curve my back forward while its out. it can be excruciating pain and is intense for a day or so. takes about a weeek or 2 to finally heal. I know I have poor posture and I'm sure it does ad to my issue. but why wouldn't I be able to bend forward or down towards the floor?
I'm 36 and I've been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and degenerative facet joint disease and facet joint arthritis in L3 L4 L5 also L5 S1 mild posterior disc bulging accompanied with biforaminal narrowing on the right and sclerosis of the posterior facet and sclerosis of the iliac border of the right sacroiliac joint
Loraine Spencer Yes. Spent 4 days unable to get out of bed. By day 7 I was able to walk. I did 2 weeks of anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxers. I try to stretch and workout twice a day. Still have lower back pain but nothing compare to what I had at the beginning. I wear a back brace when I have to carry things heavier than what my back can handle.
Knowing it's going to happen VS that moment when it happens. Walking stops instantly as your getting shorter. Before I know it I'm trapped on the floor like a pancake.
My back gave out and a few days before I started noticing hip pain. Is there anything I could have done to avoid this. I was getting out of the shower and bent slightly and pop my back gave out. Shoukd I have Iced it or rested a few days before when the issue appeared to be on its way? Any suggestions to prevent it in the future when there are some signs before it happens.
im doing that but I cant bear the pain...my muscle was pulled 1o years ago..since then I can't handle prolong sitting and standing...i cant sleep supine position.
this is how easy my back goes ,,i feel fine i never wear trainers in doors ,US sinkers so leaving the house bent to put trainers on back goes but burning dwn my leg sciatica nothing worse
i have cervical stenosis spinal stenosis too when he stood up and leaned up a went ouch could actually feel the electric shock ,my 1st ep i was crawling on my hand and knee now seems i get it 4 to 5 wee after it get better ok this is back ,but the nerve pain i baf nothing takes that pain away
my spine is literally collapsing I can’t sit or stand straight I wish I could. Is there a surgery or something that can help me I can’t take living in pain or on pain killers that they keep saying I need but don’t like to prescribe
I fell on the ice (again) recently. Neither the Xray or CT scan showed anything, but now it is uncomfortable to sit in a chair. Up till this time, standing was the problem & sitting down made the pain go away. Now, the only comfortable position is horizontal - on my back or either side. To make matters worse, shifting from my side to my back and vice versa is even more painful than sitting or standing. What should I ask my GP to look at in trying to figure out what's wrong & most importantly, how to fix it.
I was real tight and I crawled off the bed and layed on the floor face down About 5:00 in your vid that position and then i tried to press up could not then slowly rolled over and back back completely locked I screamed so loud prayed myself off the floor it felt like someone through a bucket of water on my legs they went out and the spasm just would not stop my husband rushed me to the ER they gave a drip to calm the nerves and pain and put me in a ambulance transferred me to another hospital I was admitted for 3 days stif as a board afraid for nurses to even touch me I've been home 3 days now I'm moving and still trying to calm down I so freaking terrified to move 😰
Dream Big89 I'm doing great these days however that can't be trusted I've been doing my PT and walking plus watching my posture like a hawk . I'm use to going long stretches without a flare then boom I'm down so even though I'm feeling good I'm still struggling to trust my body 😅 every morning I wake up pain free I thank a higher power because my flares are really scary. Thanks for asking 🤗
Ice? I been using my heating pad. I'll try the ice. I threw my back out yesterday. Can't get out of bed. Can't sneeze, it hurts Can't cough it hurts. Everything I do and don't do hurts. It's my lower back. It's happened befor tho.
Same here man. I'm trying to work right now and I cant sit at my desk or kneel and idk what to do my employer wont accept doctors notes or cut me any slack without my job being at risk
I have severe pain in my lower back (tail bone area) pain radiates to my hips and down butt. The unusual thing is the pain goes down both front thighs to the knees. I have had swelling and tightness in my feet mostly the left foot. What could this be?
Just recovering from a lower back muscle spasm. I heard that doing cobra/press ups were bad for it since it compresses those lower discs. Any merit to that?
Lower back really far down has been tight and achey and sensitive for months. I am a stocker at work, and I am constantly hunched over carts unloading boxes onto the salesfloor. I leaned over the couch to pick up my cat, and I acknowledge I was probably leaning over unnaturally to get her, and something felt like it just gave way in my back, and I instantly fell on the floor with the cat still in my arms. It took over an hour for my boyfriend and me to get myself downstairs and to my bed. Now it feels like my torso weighs 5 million lbs. And my hips cannot take the weight of my own body. I dont know if I should go to the doctor or not.
I don't slouch. I do lots of walking etc. I do everything right, and I still get back spasms!
If Bert & Ernie were physiotherapists... Thanks though guys, very watchable & helpful.
Too funny! You are most welcome :)
I’m watching this from bed with a thrown out back and you guys are describing my whole life. I need to make some changes :-)
Same 😬
Same right now 😭😭😭
@@trinitygober7843 it gets better :)
Yep same here 🧎♂️

What symptoms did you have in the beginning was your lower back feeling tight around the pelvis and did you get any spasms?
This just happened to me. I was cleaning the kitchen and my back went out. I had to lay over the island, and then hunch up the stairs to lay down to ice it. Needless to say, That is why I am here now.
Oy I feel ya. Just happened to me while deep cleaning my car after work 🥲
I was changing a diaper and BAM!...🤕
Kev Hick Talks Guys with Girls I sneezed just once, hard.It's accumulative damage.
Stooge Three at one time that happen to me as well. I sneezed & boom. & today I bend over to pick up my daughter & boom. I’m in so much pain right now. Crooked torso.
Kev Hick Talks Guys with Girls that was my first as well, 17 years ago!
I was hand washing my car when it happened to me. I’ve been in the bed since last Tuesday but I’m getting better...
Thank you for this video I have been sitting wrong at work 10 hrs of sitting . My muscle spasm was hell
You are welcome! Hope it helps :)
I have a similar job where I'm sitting all the time. We need to get up and walk. I feel much better when I'm walking so I make sure to walk even if it's just to the bathroom every hour.

Lol, got a broken back and a broken heart at same time.
Underrated comment

I sneezed really hard in the shower...and boom....my back went out!
Basia Faustina the next moment i was on the floor. I knew what it feels like. 🥵
Happened while walking down the stairs
Basia Faustina that funny but must have been sore
For a month I had trouble standing up from my chair. Then one morning brushing my teeth. Bang. Back went out
Same, I sneezed multiple times in the shower, and I could feel it in my back. Then I Sneezed hard, and my back went out, and I fell backwards and was in a really difficult position. It took me a while to get out of the bathroom and into my room. I was in so much pain
I have the lower back pain where its hard for me to straighten up but when I wake up in the morning and stand and start to walk my legs feel like I have cramps in the shin calf and some times the hips and thighs both legs any idea about this any info would be great

The biggest sign I get is my legs start to lose power. This is also preceded by hip stiffness.

My first time aswell 😭

I’m always coming back to your videos! Thank you so much! My lower back is in pre pain and I can barely move! 🥺😭 I’m only 30!
How are you having spasms?
You both are great and funny trust me people they know thier shit
You seem to talk a lot about common precursors to low back pain issues. Can you talk more about what might set off upper back and neck pain incidents?
Michelle, I’d like to know this, too.
Yes. I need to know this too!
Yes this!
Right where you placed that first white ball is where my back spasmed a couple days ago :/ took my breath away! its still painful! dont know what to do.. im 35 and trying to get back to normal.
OK but what actually is happening when ur back “goes out”?
Muscle strain

Doris Miranda Haha I was thinking the same thing I should of listened to her now I'm disabled from back problems
You say lay on a floor I’ve done that and it’s so hard to get back up any suggestions on how to get back up from being on the floor
Sliding off the bed doesn't help me.with my loser back herniated discs....

Those press ups - I have stenosis as well as bulging discs so what should I do for exercises?!
How ru feeling now
I'm having the signs but after a big spasm. I'm afraid it will go out again. Trying to avoid that as well as keep improving. Thanks for the videos!
Excellent video !! I wish to see this advices at least 10 years ago..Now I have incidents..Can you give advice how to sit in the car? The car seat is literally made to attack our spines..How to sit in the car or adjust the seat with low back pain and 2 buldged discs L4-5 ?? Thanks.
Thanks a lot.You are great !
From now on I will have to pay attention to my posture more, especially when gardening and not to stretch and twist and bend over at the same time.
I went to kick start my bike to go to work and Bam.
Your videos helped me get back on my feet and given me the tools to help prevent it. Thank you loads
That is great that we were able to help you John! That is always our goal :)
There's absolutely no way that I could do the lying down position and press up. It would feel like my back will break and would actually lock in that position. With a total knee replacement, I can't kneel on that operated knee at all. I'm limited to about 300' because of my knee.
What does it mean if press ups causes your back to go out? I haven’t been able to do press ups without causing back problems.
Hi, Im a new fan. I have had back pain into static nerve for 2 years. I was diagnosed with spondylosis l3-s1 osteoarthritis with osteophytes. I went to a PT and she had me push weights lying down on a machine. I am a pro portrait painter, so instead of standing for hours with my arms out, I sat on a chair...was bent over my palette. I now can't walk too well for a few days. Very Painful. I need to paint as its what i do, but I'm in constant pain and numbness goes from piriformis to ankle! what do you recommend??? Should I stay away from the weights? Thx so much!!! You guyzzz are great!!!
Hi nanci how are you now?
I amvery used to sitting with poor posture. Is it normal that sitting up straight for long periods makes me feel tight and achey in my back? Is that just my back adjusting? Or could it be harmful and maybe I need to adjust more slowly?
Just watching him do press ups, caused my lower back to hurt. Oh my god
can i do those press ups if i have had a spinal fusion L4L5 (6 years post op), and a recent diagnosis of disc degeneration L5S1 and mild arthrosis L1-L5, my back does feel pretty tight all the time
i get the feeling i should really have watched this, not gonna get into that, kinda of strange this is... my problem is my shoulders are kind of leaning forward, and i do a lot of push ups, which i dont know if worsens it. i stretch my shoulder and put pressure on them by having my hands on the sides of a door and leaning my body forward, which seems to be helping
I love you guys, seriously, you guys are great
Anti inflammatories and ice, then leave things ready for the next day, cause you won't be able to walk, crawling on hands and knees is least painful . Stay in bed for 2 days then start the physio. Start trying too stand and walk on day 3 for 10mins every 2hrs,walk,bed,walk,bed. On day 4 walk around the house for half an hour every 2 hrs then bed, avoid sitting. Day5 you should be walking without much discomfort, but it will take a another 7 to 10 days for the strength and stability to build in your back. This works for me, I've torn the same little muscle 8 times over 25yrs mostly on a half bent over rotational movement.
I was just putting on pants 😭
I bent over to fill dogs bowl.. boom went out... crawled outside and called 911 because I couldn’t get up. Worst pain on earth, and the spasms were insane. I had to use a walker for a week..
How are you feeling now
Dream Big89 a year later I’m good. Back still gets real fatigued at times, bought a real nice back supporting mattress and by morning I’m 100% better.
@@MIKES0029 did you have a herniation
@@dreambig8996 Yes, never had any back issues prior to that day too
I've been doing yoga more regularly now, but the thing is I'm not very active. I think when I went into plank then into cobra and then into a downward facing dog I went too fast. I also have been a tech (web design) student for quite some time, you sit a lot in front of a computer, I've been telling myself to adjust my posture but now I'm just laying here watching videos on how to fix this...
It's funny how they say each other's name as if they just met and were told to improvise a video for a class.
I went on a ship cruise and I noticed that I my walking pace got slower and slower and then I had some pain put it got so bad I had back spasms and couldn't even move. I think my body was working to hard as the ship rocked side to side.
I threw my back out once and I tried sitting on the edge of a bed and slowly lowering my self down using core muscles untill I felt a pop in lower back, instant relief,
what do you think happened there? Self chiro adjustment?
Likely. Ive had that happen to me multiple times. Sometimes if I lay flat in my back or on my stomach it'll crack and get I instant relief during a spasm. Its likely that you had some nerve impingement and the crack adjusted the vertebrae away from the nerve.
when I throw my middle back out. why is it I can't bend down? I have to stay straight or probably perfect posture. i cant lean or curve my back forward while its out. it can be excruciating pain and is intense for a day or so. takes about a weeek or 2 to finally heal. I know I have poor posture and I'm sure it does ad to my issue. but why wouldn't I be able to bend forward or down towards the floor?
thats what im wondering now. Can not bend forward at all if i try my back seizes up and i almost fall.
4:22 thats exactly what made my back go out. that posture
That’s the one that messed me up aswell,last Monday big spasm and still not at work
I'm 36 and I've been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and degenerative facet joint disease and facet joint arthritis in L3 L4 L5 also L5 S1 mild posterior disc bulging accompanied with biforaminal narrowing on the right and sclerosis of the posterior facet and sclerosis of the iliac border of the right sacroiliac joint
I am watching this video unable to get out of bed. Trying the A.I.M today.
Are you able to get around now?
Loraine Spencer Yes. Spent 4 days unable to get out of bed. By day 7 I was able to walk. I did 2 weeks of anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxers. I try to stretch and workout twice a day. Still have lower back pain but nothing compare to what I had at the beginning. I wear a back brace when I have to carry things heavier than what my back can handle.
I'm glad to hear that you are much better! Sounds like how I was two months ago. But I'm still battling...
I bent over to fill my pups dog bowl and BAM
Knowing it's going to happen VS that moment when it happens. Walking stops instantly as your getting shorter. Before I know it I'm trapped on the floor like a pancake.
AIM. The M is for morgue @9:41. It cracked me up and I started having back spasms.
My back gave out and a few days before I started noticing hip pain. Is there anything I could have done to avoid this. I was getting out of the shower and bent slightly and pop my back gave out. Shoukd I have Iced it or rested a few days before when the issue appeared to be on its way? Any suggestions to prevent it in the future when there are some signs before it happens.
im doing that but I cant bear the pain...my muscle was pulled 1o years ago..since then I can't handle prolong sitting and standing...i cant sleep supine position.
dose Scoliosis have a bigger chance of going out? I'm in my early 20s and my back has gone out 3 times in my life
The jingle...I’m dead
no great doctor like *Dr Danja The Spell Caster* because his love spell works all the activities that go through Facebook.

This was good
Come on @9:29 seriously people with back pain that Cant rotate or raise the curve of the spine will really struggle to get in that position 🤦♂️
That’s how I got out of bed this morning because it’s the only way
this is how easy my back goes ,,i feel fine i never wear trainers in doors ,US sinkers so leaving the house bent to put trainers on back goes but burning dwn my leg sciatica nothing worse
i have cervical stenosis spinal stenosis too when he stood up and leaned up a went ouch could actually feel the electric shock ,my 1st ep i was crawling on my hand and knee now seems i get it 4 to 5 wee after it get better ok this is back ,but the nerve pain i baf nothing takes that pain away
my spine is literally collapsing I can’t sit or stand straight I wish I could. Is there a surgery or something that can help me I can’t take living in pain or on pain killers that they keep saying I need but don’t like to prescribe
How are you doing?
2 lumbar spine fracts, can`t get onto floor to lay down due to not able to twist enough to 1 side
Walking distances causes enough pain to need to slightly lean up on the sidewalk and wait to be able to continue walking.
I fell on the ice (again) recently. Neither the Xray or CT scan showed anything, but now it is uncomfortable to sit in a chair. Up till this time, standing was the problem & sitting down made the pain go away. Now, the only comfortable position is horizontal - on my back or either side. To make matters worse, shifting from my side to my back and vice versa is even more painful than sitting or standing. What should I ask my GP to look at in trying to figure out what's wrong & most importantly, how to fix it.
ice can be really dangerous, fell on it a few years ago and had to have spinal fusion surgery because the disc had completely ruptured from the impact
Try doing some of this with a leg brace due to knee surgery, you can’t 😓
Should you have imaging before doing any of these to confirm the issue?
I practically mastered that Getting our of bed machination when I hurt my back! It was brutal.
How bro
You fixed my broken heart and broken back💜
I was real tight and I crawled off the bed and layed on the floor face down About 5:00 in your vid that position and then i tried to press up could not then slowly rolled over and back back completely locked I screamed so loud prayed myself off the floor it felt like someone through a bucket of water on my legs they went out and the spasm just would not stop my husband rushed me to the ER they gave a drip to calm the nerves and pain and put me in a ambulance transferred me to another hospital I was admitted for 3 days stif as a board afraid for nurses to even touch me I've been home 3 days now I'm moving and still trying to calm down I so freaking terrified to move 😰
I have the same issue right now. Purchase a TENS unit and use heat.
How are you feeling now
Dream Big89 I'm doing great these days however that can't be trusted I've been doing my PT and walking plus watching my posture like a hawk . I'm use to going long stretches without a flare then boom I'm down so even though I'm feeling good I'm still struggling to trust my body 😅 every morning I wake up pain free I thank a higher power because my flares are really scary. Thanks for asking 🤗
@@resetmyzen1585
Yea I feel your pain I go threw the same thing have you ever been diagnosed with herniated disc ect
Dream Big89 I'm sorry love I hope your feeling better
I’m 25 and I was trying to put a sock on. And now I’m stuck on the floor
Hello, when I do the press ups and hallelujah stretching my spine hurts at the middle. What could that be please?
Asphalt paving laborer. Roads are sloped to Grade :-)
Second question, does it mean also i cannot walk uphill because of neck discs issues?
Ice? I been using my heating pad. I'll try the ice. I threw my back out yesterday. Can't get out of bed. Can't sneeze, it hurts Can't cough it hurts. Everything I do and don't do hurts. It's my lower back. It's happened befor tho.
Same here man. I'm trying to work right now and I cant sit at my desk or kneel and idk what to do my employer wont accept doctors notes or cut me any slack without my job being at risk
I have severe pain in my lower back (tail bone area) pain radiates to my hips and down butt. The unusual thing is the pain goes down both front thighs to the knees. I have had swelling and tightness in my feet mostly the left foot. What could this be?
Sciatica
It's called the "Crown of the road" or the "Road's crowd"
Just recovering from a lower back muscle spasm. I heard that doing cobra/press ups were bad for it since it compresses those lower discs. Any merit to that?
im not feeling their exercises at all they look a bit scary
I leaned over to pick a towel off the floor 2 weeks ago thats why im here
Thank you, great advice
Lower back really far down has been tight and achey and sensitive for months. I am a stocker at work, and I am constantly hunched over carts unloading boxes onto the salesfloor. I leaned over the couch to pick up my cat, and I acknowledge I was probably leaning over unnaturally to get her, and something felt like it just gave way in my back, and I instantly fell on the floor with the cat still in my arms. It took over an hour for my boyfriend and me to get myself downstairs and to my bed. Now it feels like my torso weighs 5 million lbs. And my hips cannot take the weight of my own body. I dont know if I should go to the doctor or not.
Go
Oh shit! I put a heating pad.
I was closing my car trunk and almost fainted
I wonder why put ice on the spasm tissue?
Brad sounds like Norm McDonald
