These problems are often chronic, every day, for years, with no end in sight. But chronic use of the drugs mentioned here will tear up your liver over time. A doctor may think it is worth the risk, but the doctor does not have to live with the results.
This was great, I've been looking for "what is the best relief for sciatica pain?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Venayden Wanillian Method - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.
Acupuncture helped me tremendously with my terrible siaciata..the pain is gone😀 I go to my acupuncture at least 1 time every 2 weeks to keep me on track I also have massage therapy
Bless God, how many times a week before per week did you have to go before you are now at once every two weeks, mine is chronic.Who is your accupunture doctor, is he or she Chinese? What size needles do they use in your back!
@@TheEve30 once a week for 4 weeks. Sometimes I miss my appointment so I go every 3 weeks and I'm still pain free😄 it was so bad that I couldn'tbeen sleep at night, now I sleep through the night and no pain. Please give it a try . Let me know after your back to yourself
Keeping disc material off the nerve is the root of my and many others pain. Medicine will not push and keep discs in place and off the nerve. If the muscles are upset they can make things worse. Meds can help with that but not the root cause. Pain management for me involves keeping a sitting time budget, healthy weight/activity, and PT for life. Fact is for me lifelong PT can and does push the disc back in place which manages the pain. Medicine can not. Decompression and press-ups are a must. This is my experience and knowledge from research. This channel is excellent. I am amazed how many people are not educated about their back pain. It is pretty simple once you understand about that disc. He must stay in place to keep it off the nerve. PT works people.
Of course meds won't keep discs in place & off the nerves. No one said that it does. We feel pain with receptors in our brain, not our body which is why pain meds work so well without addressing the actual injury/illness.
400mg ibuprofen every 4-6 hours, combined with BackAid every 6 hours and a muscle relaxer every 8-10 hours, I’m able to function and stretch everything out. Long road to recovery but this is working for me!
I have a cervical herniated disc and last month I have been dealing with the pain down my right arm. I wake up every three hours in severe pain. Your videos are helping me to understand that I do not have to be clueless and to stick to those stretches and try keeping my posture even. Thank you Brad and Bob!
Five herniated discs, hypercalcimia, irreversible nerve damage, neck arthritis, and pinched nerves here... I hope you can find pain relief for your cervical herniated disc
@@maribelarzola6351•Me to I am hoping for a new body /brain I got muscular skeletal physio coming up I don’t think meds work long term at all I had them for 4 Spinal fractures and a fractured pelvis watching this is making me think of a parody song (I’m broke but I’m not happy I am poor but I’m not kind ..I got 27 Fractures at once that pain is etched in my brain 😱😱childbirth was walk in park nothing works on that pain other than a mallet ..
Been dealing with serious sciatic pain for 3 weeks now. Taken all medication. Going to Ortho tomorrow to hopefully get an epidural injection. I pray this helps my situation while I try to walk and get rid of this pain.
Hopefully it helped you. I'm on week 13 of severe sciatica pain. Seeing a light at the end of the tunnel would be so wonderful. Gotta get back to work. 4 months is enough already!
What isn't mentioned here is the effect ibuprofin and naproxin have on the kidneys. Because of severe back pain I took 3 ibuprofin per day for a couple of years. This eventually had an effect on my kidneys and now I don't take pain relievers at all. My kidney readings improved but still aren't normal. What does help is physical therapy, gentle yoga and Pilates. And my pain is more manageable than in the ibuprofin days.
I agree narcotic meds aren't great long term but its criminal how many people are dealing with severe chronic pain needlessly due to smug, non caring dr's.
First do no harm and it’s just cause they don’t want to get sued. They want to sit there and make the Eppy opiate epidemic a big deal when you know what let’s say a people from African ancestry are you know people with Melanated skin like my late mother, who was full-blown Sicilian And Italian had her first year of probably what most likely the Latino people are going through but that’s just say that all of a sudden opiate awareness became a big thing and I think they were a bit too late because as my father said who is English and Irish in red faced as they come, he said, isn’t it funny he said this 25 years ago I believe that it’s suddenly become a problem and now it was maybe five years ago will be in awareness because all of these rich Ivy League spoiled brats, decided that they wanted heroin instead, and they all did so no one cared one people of African ancestry was OD in on the streets no one cared right and that’s the truth. I don’t like bringing reason to the spot. It was a soon as the white rich young kids from Ivy League schools started dealing with these what were they the OxyContin, and then they went to the heroin, then oh deed because they were probably mixing it with let’s say alcohol or benzodiazepines or maybe got out of jail because of Probation being over and did the same amount like I mean come on obviously they weren’t seasoned enough and I’m not being arrogant here. They had a family that was against the methadone clinic that’s for sure cause I already know a rich kid that was with a family and he is now gone because he ended up doing himself in with every drug and guess what happened? We found out that he was being raped by the priest at the Catholic school that was private every day after school and his father would be late from picking him up. I was wondered why he was just so damn intelligent but he was Adele intelligent in an almost sinister way he take me to raves for the first time this is back when I was that C 23, 2023 years old and I just knew what that techno music is. It was of the devil I went to the rave and a it was just counterfeit water bottles to not be dehydrated when everybody is so messed up and these parents are so ignorant like they really think that people are dancing around sober! So what happens is here I’ve done ecstasy and they say cocaine and heroin already in it so why not try that and then it leads to this and that in these rich white suburban kids end up go to the pills I cannot believe how much a pill went for like I never bought one, but they’re pretty rich to do that but after they expended most of most likely their parents credit cards, which I doubt that you know, I get it and you know the parents would see how sick they were, and then they feel guilty, and I met one and he was falling down drunk like seriously watching a video porn and two girls like gagging on a thing saying look at that they’re all junkies now why would you say that your son would be like that? Is that how you look at yourself? Is that why you’re so drunk on the worst drug on the planet which is alcohol? See it pisses me off because it was really because of the rich white people that didn’t give a shit about their children as long as they made them look good and the children knew it went to the Ivy League school and God introduced started drink it for the first time and had you know got into it and died because they gave up do you know why they gave up? They gave up because the parents were rooting for them to look good and that is not a good parent. Sorry to say so let’s blame those country club parents OK cause it’s not gonna end now it is never going to end. We are in revelation, people, and it doesn’t have to be any religion. I think any religion that believes in good and evil knows that there’s something up! They know it we are all human beings, and we have a holy spirit in us whether you believe it’s Christ or not I believe it is and of course I do I was brought up that way, but I really believe it I know it I know it I know it I know it I know it I know it so the rich doctors they don’t wanna get sued you know how many times I’ve been in the hospital I hear people, moaning and groaning and screeching in agony and it’s all because he’ll sit there and say we gave you enough pain medication to kill an elephant. No obviously you did not because you don’t want to get sued and that’s when that Richter scale ha or the pay level of 1 to 10 what is it if you say 10 you must be a drug addict I hope all these doctors go to hell.
I hate to disagree, but laying flat, is the only thing that stops the pain! When I get up, after moving around, it comes back very fiercely! Then I have to lay down again!! I will force myself to get out and walk, but that only makes it hurt worse!!!
Hi. Have you finally fixed yours? I have similar problems. I only have relief when I lay flat on my stomach or my back with a pillow under my waist line.
Well not moving will definitely help but if I need to get back to work ASAP I sometimes go to the emergency room and get an injection of Toradol to get ahead of the inflammation and then use muscle relaxers and IBUPROFEN for a couple days. It still takes a good 2-3 days for where I am. As the years go, it gets worse and I need more meds.
I agree. Good body mechanics,physical therapy so important w/ back problems. I also think there are good supplements available that lubricate the joints,and some that promote healing. Naproxen sodium,over the counter/ prescription are really good. Being a Medicaid recipient, physical therapy ordered by doc only grants 1 visit per year?! Can't we do something to change this? My blood bleeds red just like the more insured.My fellow Medicaid recipients w/ back injuries,shore up,be strong,never give up. Ice is good for pain. Also, to help break high pain cycle,apply ice for 10-15 minutes,immediately following w/ heat for 10-15 minutes. Sometimes moist heat is helpful. Find what works for you. You are worth the investment. No one will take care of you like you. Kudos to "The Best Physical Therapy Guys"......they care about you.
@@chailatte7926 What state is that? Nobody cares about you as a human being when you get older or if you don't have insurance! They rather see you suffer and die! We need to try our best to take care of our health because no one else will! The government need to fix this medical health issues,with big pharma and insurance companies! Also the common man have to start lobbying their state reps to help them get better healthcare with what they need! You elected them they have to work for you!
Sciatica is ruining my life.. couple years straight. Looks like they can take a piece of my spinal canal out. They try to avoid directly saying this, but I’m sure my disc degeneration requires spinal fusion. But I’m “too young” if it’s not healing it’s probably something serious. Pt/gabapentin/daily stretching/ice/done it all. I’m having trouble keeping a job due to this. I hope everyone with this issue finds some relief one day.
Gentleman , I'm a body mechanic and this pain is mostly subluxations in the spine every time . Stay away from steroids , it doesn't leave the body and causes a whole lotta trouble . Muscle relaxants only for first hit to relax the body . Keep up these awesome videos. I send my clients for exercises for the conditioning of the muscle and bone in their place again .
Nice Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Franaar Breathtaking Motion Formula (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one of a kind guide for Curing Sciatica in Just 8 Mins minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate after many years got amazing results with it.
Opioids have their place. A lot cannot take ibuprofen, and regular Tylenol doesn't cut it, lol. And taken as prescribed, can give quality of life. I went thru absolute hell, and the only thing that worked to get my pain down from a 20 to a 5, was Percoset. No other strong drug, such as Morphine or Fentanyl, etc. at the ER, worked. I took it for a few months and then went down to Tylenol 3 (had other conditions that required pain meds). NSAIDs are very hard on organs, especially stomach, liver and kidneys.
Love your show. I'm a disabled nurse suffering from fibro, arthritis, herniated disc C3 & C5, sciatic pain, torn rotator cuff, well the list goes on. I enjoy your show and always imagine I'll find some miracle cure so I can go back to work ❤
I started taking gabapentin and it rly relieved my sciatica. Scheduled for a microdiscectomy, but considering more therapy now that the pain is more managable.
Same here with gabapentin and doing physical therapy for 6 months working the core and back n buttocks stretches and squatting right by lifting items using leg muscles
@@dollasignmic18344 not gonna lie I decided on the microdiscectomy after about 4 months of constant pain.....and glad I did. I feel so much better 3 weeks post surgery. Apparently it was severely herniated to the point that it would not have healed naturally. Im now med free and more appreciative of being able to sit without pain!
One morning I woke up and ended up in the ER with sciatica pain. My right butt cheek felt like it took a direct hit by a lawn dart, and the front of my leg felt like It had the worst charlie horse in the history of the universe. The ER doctors gave me a steroid shot of some kind and a muscle relaxer and some Oxycodone with acetaminophen, and none of it made any difference at all. So I was sent home with no relief. The pain was brutal and would not let up. I had another doctor prescribe a drug called Gabapentin and I started taking it with no results but I keep taking it anyway and on about the fourth day my pain went from a 15 to about an 8. I totally recommend asking your doctor about it. I still have a fair amount of pain but it is much more manageable now.
I have this exact pain. Went through these exact meds with the exact same results. Haven’t tried the gabapentin but struggling like hell since mines a result of 3 herniated discs. Hoping you’re feeling better a year later!
@@adamschneider5755 I don't know if Gabapentin works for herniated discs. I haven't had a relapse with sciatica but I do have arthritis in my spine and both hips and the Gabapentin doesn't seem to help with that. I hope it works for you. Good Luck, Tony.
I'm having psuedo sciatica and it was bothering the hell out of me for the last two weeks until I tried ibuprofen and within hours I was nearly painless for extended periods after being sleepless and frustrated. I never would ever use tylenol or ibuprofen before because I'd been really worried about side effects. Thank god for ibuprofen.
I haven't had much success in terms of pain relief with my disc bulge and I've tried a billion meds so far (naproxen, diclofenac, tramadol, nefopam, gabapentin, oramorph & amitriptyline). Amitriptyline 50mg was the last med I was given and it helped a little with the peripheral nerve pain I got but didn't get rid of it. I've pretty much been in pain for 10 weeks now and I think the docs knew I would have to tolerate to a certain degree!
I’ve tried all of these meds you mention too, I’m now on Pregabalin at a high dose, it takes time to kick in, a few weeks but it gets there. Then I have diazepam as required and it certainly gives relief. Another med I have tried is Clonazepam Auden, it is used in Epilepsy, even though I am not epileptic, it releases muscle spasm and tackles the electrical waves related to sciatica. It works. I know it’s a lot of medication but to be electrocuted 24/7 is severe and I can’t live with it. I’m awaiting an operation. It is important to move like Bob says, but one false move and you get hit.
@@MikSonus sorry to hear you're suffering. Luckily, this issue only lasted 3 months for me. I still have some pins & needles in my left leg but it doesn't affect my life. I'm still careful about lifting things though. Hope you get relief soon.
@@solitude4562 Honestly, the best relief was from Diazepam. But unfortunately the pain lasted for 3 motnhs in total and actualy I was in constant pain. The Diazepam just made it tolerable.
I had a herniated disc that really created crazy pain during night and some sitting positions. Walking was okay, but was never comfortable, - chiro and antiinflammatories didn't seem to help. But, after 2 weeks of pain, a steroid shot in my l4-l5 was super beneficial. Went from 7/8 pain, unable to sleep well, to 0-2. Now, 6 weeks later, about the same, but sense I am getting a bit better. Also, been walking 4-5 miles a day (worked up to that) and PT - pretty much what B+B PT guys recommend and more.
I have bulging disc at L5 S1 that for 10 years gave me chronic pain everyday. I do McGill 3 and Mckenzie 1 daily and walk 45 minutes. I had tried almost every pain killer under the sun. I saw on BBC website that the only antidepressant that is used to treat back pain, out of 176 trials and 30,000 participants, that showed robust evidence of pain reduction was Duloxetine. I checked online and it showed that the side effects from duloxetine prescribed at 60 mg (recommended to doctors by NICE UK) were bad. So I asked my Doctor for 20mg capsules. The pain almost went overnight and now after 3 weeks i am pain free with minimal side effects.
i am a chronic pain patient i use opiates to control my pain my pain is not like once in while its all the time...i understand drs wanna try everything else like i did shots theraphy multiable times ibrofin nothing worded untilo opiates
I've been of and on theses meds for almost 15yrs for herniated discs1-4 which caused by a car accident. One thing I have gone over the years is exercise cardio and weight training and it really helps too with my sciatica on my right leg and at 65yrs its helped alot. In short its just trying to find the right one for you. Most of the time I'm pain free and just taking over the counter mess Tylenol or anti-inflammatory. Peace and pain-free to All and Godbless!
U wanna know what helped my sciatica? A laminectomy surgery and 10+ months recovery time with physical therapy. Medication NEVER helped a single bit. Maybe on night 1 Norco knocked me out... after that.... lots of healing pain. Lots of walking. Stretching.
Thank you so much for the quote in the beginning. Really helped me move on what was bothering me. And well the medication also helped since my back was killing me haha. No just physical therapist but a therapist for the mind!
I've been on narcotics. and anti inflammatory for over 6 months while waiting for surgery. I'm praying this doesn't damage my guts. I keep being told that my condition is not life threatening so I'm not a priority. I live in Canada.
I feel though managing pain is necessary, the role of instability in injuries should be considered most of all. Example ; if your back hurts plus gives out when you reach to pick something up, damage to the spine must be considered. You can mask the pain with injections,drugs,even therapy ,but the damage can still be getting worse.
I feel too many therapy companies are exploiting injured patients. Healing protocols like pro and stem cell are not affordable by most people,and sadly average insurance does not cover it. I myself have been out on a merry go round of useless therapy and drugs by doctors,who milk the insurance companies of their money. Or should I say milk my insurance
once again another great video, love how you both provide info and visuals for us to better understand the way our bodies work and different ways to get us up and going pain free ~ thanks for bringing Chris in too. to me, pharmacists are like chemical engineers and with people that often have a few doctors for different medical issues and with different scripts, a good pharmacist can spot an issue with mixing certain drugs that can save your life.
I’m on naproxen gabapentin and tramadol have had back pain from discs for 10years have had physio to show correct posture but it’s so so painful 😩 am waiting for another mri your videos help a lot I’ve also had steroid injection in my back and facet joint injections am fed up to be honest 😢 I’m in the uk
So popping 3 generic ibuprofen a day for a week with very little change is probably not gonna work? My problem is I'm better when I'm moving around running errands but as soon as I get home and start laying around, sleeping or sitting for long periods it comes back. I stand back up and immediately that inflammation feel goes from my buttock area to my ankle. Ugh....
After moving around the whole day at work, when I got home I don't feel pain at all. The problem is on weekends when I rest laying on bed, sitting, I spent the whole weekend having sciatica pain
I m from India I have herniated disc problem in this case I wnt loose my weight wht kind of exercise should to do specially bellu weight .. Pls send me any link
If someone shoved a steak knife into your thigh, your going to need more kick than alieve and Tylenol to take the edge off....in my case 4 steak knives. I was as ignorant about nerve pain as the next guy.....until it hit me like a freight train.
After 26 years nothing works.i have trye everything....will not heel...leave with pain 24 hr a day 365 days a years...have not find a great solution yet...just press the pain nerve it will work for little time...will stop the pain...older you get the worse it gets.
Love your videos. I am currently dealing with lower back pain sacroiliac back pain butt pain thigh pain and I have Tronchantric bilateral hip bursitis and am low iron anemic. I got injured on February of 22 and haven’t worked since. I am about 106 lbs and was lifting to much weight and twisting at my waist repetitively while on a forklift harnessed bending forward and twisting lifting heavy product weighing more then my weight. I’ve been through physical therapy and Iva had a injection for my hip and am scheduled to get the other one done. I’ve been going to acupuncture. And walking around and getting movement but my life has changed dramatically. I am taking edolac which doesn’t help for back pain - it’s just giving me migraines and keeps me awake now so I’ve made an appointment to review that. They had me on muscle relaxants. They have had one MRI which happened after my injury In March which was a long time ago. And I’ve had x rays where they didn’t find anything they called significant. My MRI showed disc bulging and degeneration in my lower to my SI joint which is where I feel the most pain. Also have mild facet hypertrophy which they said is all normal. I feel pain every single day. I can’t lift weight like I use to without having to drop it because I’m weak and the muscle spasms will activate the second they are tired or overworked. I have numbing that happens down my thighs and lower back that come and go. I can’t stand for long periods of time without pain. Going up stairs is WORK - I have to throw my legs up getting up them - it’s so painful. I have popping happening from my hips and my back all of the time. They tell me to just co tongue injection therapy but I’m afraid to do that for my lower back as I don’t want a chance to be paralyzed if they insert it wrong or there is a reaction due to it not being evaluated enough for patients. I am 27 years old. I would love your advice with my current conditions - it’s been hard dealing with the brain fog the weakness the excessive tiredness pain and muscle spasms daily. I can barely sleep and it’s been a lot on my health being hurt. I use to be active and be able to stand end twist jump and even leap 10 hours a day but ever since I got hurt I just can’t do anything anymore.
Hi. Sorry you are dealing with chronic pain! I also have a lower back injury. Chiropractic has helped me a bit. I reccomend trying to find a chiro that does drop table adjustments. As well as one that is willing to ise the activatior on your neck adjustment vs. the neck twisting adjustement...... I go to my chiro once a week and its helped me to stay at a more manageable pain level.
Listening to these binaural beats has had a pain reducing phenomenon for me when I am looking for temporary release as well ruclips.net/video/jHDLW-2Nh9s/видео.html
Thanks for all the great videos guys. A question for Chris.......I have been using omeprazole for many years. Does it help protect the stomach from Ibuprofen? I have bad sciatica and even 800mg doses of Advil gel caps doesn't help as much as I would like.
I take tramadol sometimes when waiting for steroid epidural. I don’t want to be insulted for taking opioids. This gives me an okay day not a great day. Without it my day is miserable.
I'm about one year into my second bout of sciatica and it started off really horrible. Went to the doctor and tried a round of prednisone coupled with meloxicam and cyclobenzaprine, which helped greatly when I had a bulging/herniated disc several years ago. This took away the 10/10 pain, but a year later I'm still having pain. However, I've managed to get along with a couple of Tylenol a day usually and only using the meloxicam when it really flares up. I don't understand entirely why the Tylenol works as well as it does considering that it's not an anti-inflammatory, but it works decent enough and seems to be safer long-term than any NSAID. Hopefully by year 2 I can have even more progress.
I currently have a herniated disc due to a skatepark accident and was prescribed the Medrol dos pack.. I have not yet taken it bc of the side effects.. so PT Is really the only cure for this pain?
@@chasemurray2921 try these exercises, they helped me recapture my disc. Meds won’t solve your problem, you have to work the Physio on your own. Meds will only help you temporarily deal with the pain. The rest is in your hands. ruclips.net/video/9SKuFe2SERs/видео.html
Wow I am in the same boat as you with this pain, it is one of the most horrible pain I have ever had! I don't like to take meds I try to bare the pain but sometimes it is just aweful! Praying to god that we can all be healed soon! Love and God bless❤🙏🏻
Meloxicam are the best I have been take for years the only one that help me with my spine chronic arthritis bulge disc pain We call with the name of mobic. Original Brand Very tolerable safe for the stomach take half 7.5 mg Another is tramal
I’ve tried all of this. Had surgery in 2014. Did well til 2019, and injured the other side now have 3 more .. been on pain meds, in the middle of seeing a surgeon but in the last week I’ve been in ER 2 times this past week. Yesterday they gave me steroid shot. Been agitated ever since. Gave me oxycodone and methocarbamol. In literally just took that cause I’m scared of how sleepy it’s gonna make me never had that type of muscle relaxer .. I can’t even do anything anymore. Im so exhausted of this ..
I was wondering why I keep hurting! I've had several surgeries along with injections and therapy and chiropractor! Pain meds have help greatly BUT this is what I found out! My father has bone marrow cancer! Make sure you check got this! It could be the problem! It could be the beginning for me! Scary!
hi I have a lot of pain in my lower back it does travel down my leg but hardly ever, it mainly stays in my lower back ,feels like groin and hip.I've tried some drugs and diclofenac definitely helps .what's your thoughts of the pain and on diclofenac
My doctor prescribed gabapentin for sciatica. I took it and then researched it. It did not help and it fogged up my mind. She also prescribed ibuprofen regularly for months for knee pain. Eventually, my stomach got to hurting and I stopped. Physical therapy fixed my knees. I did not demand pain killers; I generally want to fix a problem, not treat it. I've concluded that today's medicine is all about treating and never fixing. Where's the profit in fixing? Corporate medicine is what has killed good medicine in the US. I no longer trust medical care, even physical therapy, because I feel it's all out to bleed as much money out of me as possible.
@@KidCodyful About a month. I don't remember the prescribed amount. If it works for you, great. But I went on to give the burning and aching time to subside somewhat and for my brain to come to terms with it. Then I do all these things and mostly try to not do what might aggravate it. I just decided to live with it. It doesn't ever get better or worse; I just work to ignore it a best I can (mind tricks).
Dr just put me on Tizanidine(?) that’s a muscle relaxant/ nerve pill. Kinda scared to take it. I take 30mg of Flexeril per day and have for years, but this stuff seems even stronger and I take a ton of meds, although I’m trying to do exercises and natural supplements as much as I can.
my sciatica is due to a shatered pelvis, put back together with 2 metal plates,& 17 metal screws, horrible pain, vicodin worked but doc won;t perscrib no more so KRATOM works, not as good but its all we have.
Allergic to nsaids. I live with pain and sciatica getting worse. I am too scared to take gabapentin...what to do. I use tens unit, ice, icy hot patches and creme. Lately the sciatic has been very bad, it began after another stupid PT did not listen to me, and I did the bike exercise anyway, and it just threw everything out. So tired of lame PT persons NOT following my history and charts, nor listening to me. I have lost any confidence with them anymore, someone really good is hard to find who know our stuff. Living with a damaged condition is what we have, and yet they just don't see our condition that we live with year after year, but just follow the same protocol every time.
Gabepentin is great. It’s a great drug that will help with muscle spasms and sleep it honestly doesn’t take you feel nauseous or anything. I wouldn’t be scared to take it. I’m super sensitive and am on it and it helps a lot.
Stop naproxen 500mg x3 per day after 1 month, switched to Mobic 15mg 1 per day after 2nd Dr. opinion. Which was "never prescribe naproxen is old and toxic to kidneys. Tramadol recommended for pain management but not taking it as have other stronger opioids. Surprisingly, opioids are not the ultimate due to tolerance which builds quickly. Is kinda sad because we like to think of them as "the ultimate" and they definitely have their place. Endurance is your best friend here and make "Motion is lotion" your mantra. But be careful very careful regards who your appoint as physiotherapist.
I’ve 6 herniated discs from a 130mph headon auto accident in 9-03. The career criminal stole a Caddy & hit us headon. Almost broke my C3. Live with lots pain every day
I have a minor generalized protrusion and bulge in my L4 and L5 discs..and a minor wedging in my T6..posture and incorrect lifting was likely the cause of my issues..im hoping to be painfree very soon! 😣😣
would it be possible to heal a torn ligament in the spine ( that helps hold the disc in) without surgery... I guess I'm kinda wondering if yall have come across this before...
physicaltherapyvideo... Thank you for taking time to reply, I was pretty sure that would be hard to judge. 😊Sadly I'm thinking surgery my be my only option at this point. Thanks again.

Spiritual help: Revelation 21.4 (KJV) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. This is what we look forward to if we trust in Jesus Christ. The world to come is gonna be grand. Don't miss it, keep the hope, and hold onto it, His promises are true.. and this is only one of them, but it's a really good one. Learn of Christ. 👍 Matthew 11.28-30 (KJV) 28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
Notice that no one believes in God anymore? You know what I’m gonna keep praying to Jesus Christ. He is the one that performs miracles. It is an Elon musk that puts micro chips and brains. OK? I have had this happened to me twice so far and I really can’t put my finger on it because my back doesn’t hurt. It’s literally down my side and then all the way down to my calf in the back is the sciatica.
My pain was so bad I needed hydrocodone for breath through pain I was up three days not stop pain and Ibuprofen naproxen Tylenol didn’t work to ease the pain.
So definitely take an anti inflammatory to help begin heeling. But take only as needed? Or take every so often the dose indicates to keep inflammation down? I believe i may have a bulging disc for 7 months now. No damage in lumbar xrays. I suppose its not as bad. I can walk. Mostly sciatica & pain in the butt unless resting a certain way.
Seriously ...I burst L4/5. Fucked around by asshole doctor who said he couldn't see anything wrong...got several opinions from different doctors finally got CT scans which proved what I'd already been telling them...they said I needed physio....went ..did what they said..it got worse....they would not listen when I complained about pain.... finally had enough of being treated like a cunt..so I got a lawyer....had a six year battle with work cover....and still had to look for work... even though I couldn't have worked even if someone would have hired me.....six years of unnecessary and unbelievable pain ...dr appointments.. specialists...job search... physio..court appearances...... fucking arseholes.....if your in pain stick to your guns.....I didn't get any pain relief from this until I finally had surgery....I was on codine tablets ..I was drinking insane amount of piss smoking pot...and still no relief...... surgery. And immediately pain stopped....still have problems with it and find older I'm getting the back is starting to get worse with age ....but now managble with anti inflammation drugs...I wish you luck ..but listen to your body not the fuckers in White coats
Love your videos and you guys are lifesavers! I was wondering what your personal thought on epidural steroid injections for lumbar herniation at L2. Got one planned later this week and quite concerned having needles anywhere around the spine. Thanks guys and keep up the great work!
Howard Sheckells stay away from any more epidural injection. There is a risk of Adhesive Arachnoiditis and that is tragic. Very few doctors acknowledge this as a possibility. They inject you every 3/6 months and hope that you get better. It’s actually not approved for injection in the spine. My son reacted poorly to the injection pain got worse than before. Go to the Tennant foundation and get info on the risks of steroids injections and how to treat these problems.
actually you're helping a lot of people out there god bless you

The needles are small and thin you don't even feel them...no worries
Keeping disc material off the nerve is the root of my and many others pain. Medicine will not push and keep discs in place and off the nerve. If the muscles are upset they can make things worse. Meds can help with that but not the root cause.
Pain management for me involves keeping a sitting time budget, healthy weight/activity, and PT for life. Fact is for me lifelong PT can and does push the disc back in place which manages the pain. Medicine can not. Decompression and press-ups are a must. This is my experience and knowledge from research.
This channel is excellent. I am amazed how many people are not educated about their back pain. It is pretty simple once you understand about that disc. He must stay in place to keep it off the nerve. PT works people.
Of course meds won't keep discs in place & off the nerves. No one said that it does. We feel pain with receptors in our brain, not our body which is why pain meds work so well without addressing the actual injury/illness.

400mg ibuprofen every 4-6 hours, combined with BackAid every 6 hours and a muscle relaxer every 8-10 hours, I’m able to function and stretch everything out. Long road to recovery but this is working for me!
I have a cervical herniated disc and last month I have been dealing with the pain down my right arm. I wake up every three hours in severe pain.

@@MissCookie8260I am getting lumbar steroid injection April 30, 2024.
I had sciatuca l5 since Jan 11, 2024
What isn't mentioned here is the effect ibuprofin and naproxin have on the kidneys. Because of severe back pain I took 3 ibuprofin per day for a couple of years. This eventually had an effect on my kidneys and now I don't take pain relievers at all. My kidney readings improved but still aren't normal. What does help is physical therapy, gentle yoga and Pilates. And my pain is more manageable than in the ibuprofin days.
Why didn’t it recover after a while? What did it do to your kidneys?
I agree narcotic meds aren't great long term but its criminal how many people are dealing with severe chronic pain needlessly due to smug, non caring dr's.
First do no harm and it’s just cause they don’t want to get sued. They want to sit there and make the Eppy opiate epidemic a big deal when you know what let’s say a people from African ancestry are you know people with Melanated skin like my late mother, who was full-blown Sicilian And Italian had her first year of probably what most likely the Latino people are going through but that’s just say that all of a sudden opiate awareness became a big thing and I think they were a bit too late because as my father said who is English and Irish in red faced as they come, he said, isn’t it funny he said this 25 years ago I believe that it’s suddenly become a problem and now it was maybe five years ago will be in awareness because all of these rich Ivy League spoiled brats, decided that they wanted heroin instead, and they all did so no one cared one people of African ancestry was OD in on the streets no one cared right and that’s the truth. I don’t like bringing reason to the spot. It was a soon as the white rich young kids from Ivy League schools started dealing with these what were they the OxyContin, and then they went to the heroin, then oh deed because they were probably mixing it with let’s say alcohol or benzodiazepines or maybe got out of jail because of Probation being over and did the same amount like I mean come on obviously they weren’t seasoned enough and I’m not being arrogant here. They had a family that was against the methadone clinic that’s for sure cause I already know a rich kid that was with a family and he is now gone because he ended up doing himself in with every drug and guess what happened? We found out that he was being raped by the priest at the Catholic school that was private every day after school and his father would be late from picking him up. I was wondered why he was just so damn intelligent but he was Adele intelligent in an almost sinister way he take me to raves for the first time this is back when I was that C 23, 2023 years old and I just knew what that techno music is. It was of the devil I went to the rave and a it was just counterfeit water bottles to not be dehydrated when everybody is so messed up and these parents are so ignorant like they really think that people are dancing around sober! So what happens is here I’ve done ecstasy and they say cocaine and heroin already in it so why not try that and then it leads to this and that in these rich white suburban kids end up go to the pills I cannot believe how much a pill went for like I never bought one, but they’re pretty rich to do that but after they expended most of most likely their parents credit cards, which I doubt that you know, I get it and you know the parents would see how sick they were, and then they feel guilty, and I met one and he was falling down drunk like seriously watching a video porn and two girls like gagging on a thing saying look at that they’re all junkies now why would you say that your son would be like that? Is that how you look at yourself? Is that why you’re so drunk on the worst drug on the planet which is alcohol? See it pisses me off because it was really because of the rich white people that didn’t give a shit about their children as long as they made them look good and the children knew it went to the Ivy League school and God introduced started drink it for the first time and had you know got into it and died because they gave up do you know why they gave up? They gave up because the parents were rooting for them to look good and that is not a good parent. Sorry to say so let’s blame those country club parents OK cause it’s not gonna end now it is never going to end. We are in revelation, people, and it doesn’t have to be any religion. I think any religion that believes in good and evil knows that there’s something up! They know it we are all human beings, and we have a holy spirit in us whether you believe it’s Christ or not I believe it is and of course I do I was brought up that way, but I really believe it I know it I know it I know it I know it I know it I know it so the rich doctors they don’t wanna get sued you know how many times I’ve been in the hospital I hear people, moaning and groaning and screeching in agony and it’s all because he’ll sit there and say we gave you enough pain medication to kill an elephant. No obviously you did not because you don’t want to get sued and that’s when that Richter scale ha or the pay level of 1 to 10 what is it if you say 10 you must be a drug addict I hope all these doctors go to hell.
Absolutely. If you need narcotics to relieve pain you should be able to get it.
I hate to disagree, but laying flat, is the only thing that stops the pain! When I get up, after moving around, it comes back very fiercely! Then I have to lay down again!! I will force myself to get out and walk, but that only makes it hurt worse!!!
Hi. Have you finally fixed yours? I have similar problems. I only have relief when I lay flat on my stomach or my back with a pillow under my waist line.
Well not moving will definitely help but if I need to get back to work ASAP I sometimes go to the emergency room and get an injection of Toradol to get ahead of the inflammation and then use muscle relaxers and IBUPROFEN for a couple days. It still takes a good 2-3 days for where I am. As the years go, it gets worse and I need more meds.
@@niccolea2086So no hope for a permanent fix? Did you get an MRI for your diagnosis?
I agree. Good body mechanics,physical therapy so important w/ back problems. I also think there are good supplements available that lubricate the joints,and some that promote healing. Naproxen sodium,over the counter/ prescription are really good. Being a Medicaid recipient, physical therapy ordered by doc only grants 1 visit per year?! Can't we do something to change this? My blood bleeds red just like the more insured.My fellow Medicaid recipients w/ back injuries,shore up,be strong,never give up. Ice is good for pain. Also, to help break high pain cycle,apply ice for 10-15 minutes,immediately following w/ heat for 10-15 minutes. Sometimes moist heat is helpful. Find what works for you. You are worth the investment. No one will take care of you like you. Kudos to "The Best Physical Therapy Guys"......they care about you.
Medicaid sucks in your state.
@@chailatte7926 What state is that? Nobody cares about you as a human being when you get older or if you don't have insurance! They rather see you suffer and die!

Also the common man have to start lobbying their state reps to help them get better healthcare with what they need! You elected them they have to work for you!

Sciatica is ruining my life.. couple years straight. Looks like they can take a piece of my spinal canal out.

@@richardmazursky2796 .
Opioids have their place. A lot cannot take ibuprofen, and regular Tylenol doesn't cut it, lol. And taken as prescribed, can give quality of life. I went thru absolute hell, and the only thing that worked to get my pain down from a 20 to a 5, was Percoset. No other strong drug, such as Morphine or Fentanyl, etc. at the ER, worked. I took it for a few months and then went down to Tylenol 3 (had other conditions that required pain meds). NSAIDs are very hard on organs, especially stomach, liver and kidneys.
Tylenol w codeine was the only thing that helped arm pain from a bulging disc. Vicodin didn’t help. Glad you found something that helped you 😁
I know I need Percocet.. But getting is a problem.. I think it's cruel.
Love your show. I'm a disabled nurse suffering from fibro, arthritis, herniated disc C3 & C5, sciatic pain, torn rotator cuff, well the list goes on. I enjoy your show and always imagine I'll find some miracle cure so I can go back to work ❤

Gabaoentin or gabanerve?
@@rickyconatser4431 also had micro here in Oklahoma going on 3 weeks now!! How are you a couple months oast
One morning I woke up and ended up in the ER with sciatica pain. My right butt cheek felt like it took a direct hit by a lawn dart, and the front of my leg felt like It had the worst charlie horse in the history of the universe. The ER doctors gave me a steroid shot of some kind and a muscle relaxer and some Oxycodone with acetaminophen, and none of it made any difference at all. So I was sent home with no relief. The pain was brutal and would not let up. I had another doctor prescribe a drug called Gabapentin and I started taking it with no results but I keep taking it anyway and on about the fourth day my pain went from a 15 to about an 8. I totally recommend asking your doctor about it. I still have a fair amount of pain but it is much more manageable now.
I have this exact pain. Went through these exact meds with the exact same results. Haven’t tried the gabapentin but struggling like hell since mines a result of 3 herniated discs.
Hoping you’re feeling better a year later!
@@adamschneider5755 I don't know if Gabapentin works for herniated discs. I haven't had a relapse with sciatica but I do have arthritis in my spine and both hips and the Gabapentin doesn't seem to help with that. I hope it works for you. Good Luck, Tony.
I wasted so much gains by having a lousy diet. As soon as I started following the Agoge Diet, I started building muscle fast.
I'm having psuedo sciatica and it was bothering the hell out of me for the last two weeks until I tried ibuprofen and within hours I was nearly painless for extended periods after being sleepless and frustrated. I never would ever use tylenol or ibuprofen before because I'd been really worried about side effects. Thank god for ibuprofen.
Please tell me the dose for adult my granny have sciatica inflammation
Works for me
I haven't had much success in terms of pain relief with my disc bulge and I've tried a billion meds so far (naproxen, diclofenac, tramadol, nefopam, gabapentin, oramorph & amitriptyline). Amitriptyline 50mg was the last med I was given and it helped a little with the peripheral nerve pain I got but didn't get rid of it. I've pretty much been in pain for 10 weeks now and I think the docs knew I would have to tolerate to a certain degree!
I’ve tried all of these meds you mention too, I’m now on Pregabalin at a high dose, it takes time to kick in, a few weeks but it gets there. Then I have diazepam as required and it certainly gives relief. Another med I have tried is Clonazepam Auden, it is used in Epilepsy, even though I am not epileptic, it releases muscle spasm and tackles the electrical waves related to sciatica. It works. I know it’s a lot of medication but to be electrocuted 24/7 is severe and I can’t live with it. I’m awaiting an operation. It is important to move like Bob says, but one false move and you get hit.
@@MikSonus sorry to hear you're suffering. Luckily, this issue only lasted 3 months for me. I still have some pins & needles in my left leg but it doesn't affect my life. I'm still careful about lifting things though. Hope you get relief soon.
@@ghdrum how did you find relief? What’s you do
@@solitude4562 Honestly, the best relief was from Diazepam. But unfortunately the pain lasted for 3 motnhs in total and actualy I was in constant pain. The Diazepam just made it tolerable.
I had a herniated disc that really created crazy pain during night and some sitting positions. Walking was okay, but was never comfortable, - chiro and antiinflammatories didn't seem to help. But, after 2 weeks of pain, a steroid shot in my l4-l5 was super beneficial. Went from 7/8 pain, unable to sleep well, to 0-2. Now, 6 weeks later, about the same, but sense I am getting a bit better. Also, been walking 4-5 miles a day (worked up to that) and PT - pretty much what B+B PT guys recommend and more.
To all with back pain/ sciatica / herniated disc: Use Arctium lappa ointment! It will help
I have bulging disc at L5 S1 that for 10 years gave me chronic pain everyday. I do McGill 3 and Mckenzie 1 daily and walk 45 minutes. I had tried almost every pain killer under the sun. I saw on BBC website that the only antidepressant that is used to treat back pain, out of 176 trials and 30,000 participants, that showed robust evidence of pain reduction was Duloxetine. I checked online and it showed that the side effects from duloxetine prescribed at 60 mg (recommended to doctors by NICE UK) were bad. So I asked my Doctor for 20mg capsules.
The pain almost went overnight and now after 3 weeks i am pain free with minimal side effects.

I took Zoloft 100 for 2 years almost. You feel much better. I have 2 bulging discs in upper back and 1 in low back.
Do you have sciatica too?
Prednisone is the best for the sciatica but it won’t last long. And then my pain was worse
me too! I need to exercise & lose weight as well. this pain is rough.
I feel though managing pain is necessary, the role of instability in injuries should be considered most of all. Example ; if your back hurts plus gives out when you reach to pick something up, damage to the spine must be considered. You can mask the pain with injections,drugs,even therapy ,but the damage can still be getting worse.
I feel too many therapy companies are exploiting injured patients. Healing protocols like pro and stem cell are not affordable by most people,and sadly average insurance does not cover it. I myself have been out on a merry go round of useless therapy and drugs by doctors,who milk the insurance companies of their money. Or should I say milk my insurance

They have had one MRI which happened after my injury In March which was a long time ago.
And I’ve had x rays where they didn’t find anything they called significant.
My MRI showed disc bulging and degeneration in my lower to my SI joint which is where I feel the most pain.
Also have mild facet hypertrophy which they said is all normal.
I feel pain every single day. I can’t lift weight like I use to without having to drop it because I’m weak and the muscle spasms will activate the second they are tired or overworked.
I have numbing that happens down my thighs and lower back that come and go. I can’t stand for long periods of time without pain.
Going up stairs is WORK - I have to throw my legs up getting up them - it’s so painful.
I have popping happening from my hips and my back all of the time.
They tell me to just co tongue injection therapy but I’m afraid to do that for my lower back as I don’t want a chance to be paralyzed if they insert it wrong or there is a reaction due to it not being evaluated enough for patients.
I am 27 years old. I would love your advice with my current conditions - it’s been hard dealing with the brain fog the weakness the excessive tiredness pain and muscle spasms daily.
I can barely sleep and it’s been a lot on my health being hurt.
I use to be active and be able to stand end twist jump and even leap 10 hours a day but ever since I got hurt I just can’t do anything anymore.
Use Arctium lappa ointment! It will help
Hi. Sorry you are dealing with chronic pain! I also have a lower back injury. Chiropractic has helped me a bit. I reccomend trying to find a chiro that does drop table adjustments. As well as one that is willing to ise the activatior on your neck adjustment vs. the neck twisting adjustement......
I go to my chiro once a week and its helped me to stay at a more manageable pain level.
Listening to these binaural beats has had a pain reducing phenomenon for me when I am looking for temporary release as well ruclips.net/video/jHDLW-2Nh9s/видео.html
You are correct about the possibility of paralysis. I won't let anyone touch my back with a needle.
Thanks for all the great videos guys.
A question for Chris.......I have been using omeprazole for many years. Does it help protect the stomach from Ibuprofen? I have bad sciatica and even 800mg doses of Advil gel caps doesn't help as much as I would like.
Great video!! Thanks doctors
I take tramadol sometimes when waiting for steroid epidural. I don’t want to be insulted for taking opioids. This gives me an okay day not a great day. Without it my day is miserable.
I started Amitriptyline 25mg per day.
okinawapunter i started pregabalin 75mg
I'm about one year into my second bout of sciatica and it started off really horrible. Went to the doctor and tried a round of prednisone coupled with meloxicam and cyclobenzaprine, which helped greatly when I had a bulging/herniated disc several years ago. This took away the 10/10 pain, but a year later I'm still having pain. However, I've managed to get along with a couple of Tylenol a day usually and only using the meloxicam when it really flares up. I don't understand entirely why the Tylenol works as well as it does considering that it's not an anti-inflammatory, but it works decent enough and seems to be safer long-term than any NSAID. Hopefully by year 2 I can have even more progress.
I currently have a herniated disc due to a skatepark accident and was prescribed the Medrol dos pack.. I have not yet taken it bc of the side effects.. so PT Is really the only cure for this pain?
How long have been used meloxicam and cyclobenzaprine?
@@chasemurray2921 try these exercises, they helped me recapture my disc. Meds won’t solve your problem, you have to work the Physio on your own. Meds will only help you temporarily deal with the pain. The rest is in your hands. ruclips.net/video/9SKuFe2SERs/видео.html
Wow I am in the same boat as you with this pain, it is one of the most horrible pain I have ever had! I don't like to take meds I try to bare the pain but sometimes it is just aweful! Praying to god that we can all be healed soon! Love and God bless❤🙏🏻
Meloxicam are the best I have been take for years the only one that help me with my spine chronic arthritis bulge disc pain
We call with the name of mobic. Original
Brand
Very tolerable safe for the stomach take half 7.5 mg
Another is tramal
I’ve tried all of this. Had surgery in 2014. Did well til 2019, and injured the other side now have 3 more .. been on pain meds, in the middle of seeing a surgeon but in the last week I’ve been in ER 2 times this past week. Yesterday they gave me steroid shot. Been agitated ever since. Gave me oxycodone and methocarbamol. In literally just took that cause I’m scared of how sleepy it’s gonna make me never had that type of muscle relaxer .. I can’t even do anything anymore. Im so exhausted of this ..
Thank You... SO much!
I was wondering why I keep hurting! I've had several surgeries along with injections and therapy and chiropractor! Pain meds have help greatly BUT this is what I found out! My father has bone marrow cancer! Make sure you check got this! It could be the problem! It could be the beginning for me! Scary!
Medical THC and CBD is helping me, for days at a time. I am to scared to get addicted to pharmacuticles.
Been taking anti inflamatorries and having bad stomach pain 😫
hi I have a lot of pain in my lower back it does travel down my leg but hardly ever, it mainly stays in my lower back ,feels like groin and hip.I've tried some drugs and diclofenac definitely helps .what's your thoughts of the pain and on diclofenac
Love this series but it's so distracting with the other voices in the room. Who are those people???
I can hardly make out what's being said.
P.s. I love your videos, very helpful/informative 😊
What about nutrition, for example cod liver oil supplements etc? That seems to be missing from your treatment plans?
Docotors dont tell u tgat info lmao. They tever do all they say is eat medicine
Works for a short time, have you three actually felt the pain? Don’t tell us what helps when you don’t get it!
Well said!!!!
My doctor prescribed gabapentin for sciatica. I took it and then researched it. It did not help and it fogged up my mind. She also prescribed ibuprofen regularly for months for knee pain. Eventually, my stomach got to hurting and I stopped. Physical therapy fixed my knees. I did not demand pain killers; I generally want to fix a problem, not treat it. I've concluded that today's medicine is all about treating and never fixing. Where's the profit in fixing? Corporate medicine is what has killed good medicine in the US. I no longer trust medical care, even physical therapy, because I feel it's all out to bleed as much money out of me as possible.
How long were you taking it to develop brain fog? I’ve been taking it for a week now for my sciatica but i haven’t noticed any negative side effects.
@@KidCodyful About a month. I don't remember the prescribed amount. If it works for you, great. But I went on to give the burning and aching time to subside somewhat and for my brain to come to terms with it. Then I do all these things and mostly try to not do what might aggravate it. I just decided to live with it. It doesn't ever get better or worse; I just work to ignore it a best I can (mind tricks).
Everywhere, not just the US
Dr just put me on Tizanidine(?) that’s a muscle relaxant/ nerve pill. Kinda scared to take it. I take 30mg of Flexeril per day and have for years, but this stuff seems even stronger and I take a ton of meds, although I’m trying to do exercises and natural supplements as much as I can.
Methylprednisolone
Thank you 💕
Tramadol was the only thing that touched it,ibuprofen,was blocking my kidneys
my sciatica is due to a shatered pelvis, put back together with 2 metal plates,& 17 metal screws, horrible pain, vicodin worked but doc won;t perscrib no more so KRATOM works, not as good but its all we have.
Allergic to nsaids. I live with pain and sciatica getting worse. I am too scared to take gabapentin...what to do. I use tens unit, ice, icy hot patches and creme. Lately the sciatic has been very bad, it began after another stupid PT did not listen to me, and I did the bike exercise anyway, and it just threw everything out. So tired of lame PT persons NOT following my history and charts, nor listening to me. I have lost any confidence with them anymore, someone really good is hard to find who know our stuff. Living with a damaged condition is what we have, and yet they just don't see our condition that we live with year after year, but just follow the same protocol every time.
So was a bicycle not good for you
@@ANGELSLVME No, it aggravates the nerve roots, L-5- S-1.
Gabepentin is great.
It’s a great drug that will help with muscle spasms and sleep it honestly doesn’t take you feel nauseous or anything. I wouldn’t be scared to take it. I’m super sensitive and am on it and it helps a lot.
Take pregabalin 75mg capsule once a day or before bedtime for 2 weeks and consult your anesthesiologist. Worked for me.
Pregbalin 75mg once at bed time This is a good one helped me alot
What do you guys think of "sciaticare" sold on Amazon?
Stop naproxen 500mg x3 per day after 1 month, switched to Mobic 15mg 1 per day after 2nd Dr. opinion. Which was "never prescribe naproxen is old and toxic to kidneys. Tramadol recommended for pain management but not taking it as have other stronger opioids. Surprisingly, opioids are not the ultimate due to tolerance which builds quickly. Is kinda sad because we like to think of them as "the ultimate" and they definitely have their place. Endurance is your best friend here and make "Motion is lotion" your mantra. But be careful very careful regards who your appoint as physiotherapist.
You’re experience with Mobic 15?
But we are still masking the problem with meds!
I agree I would rather try natural remedies
I’ve 6 herniated discs from a 130mph headon auto accident in 9-03. The career criminal stole a Caddy & hit us headon. Almost broke my C3. Live with lots pain every day
I was put on dexamethasone and ketorolac and it seemed to work. But now the steroid withdrawls are the problem.😢
Thank yo I learn a lot👍
Yikes. The noise in the background!
I have a minor generalized protrusion and bulge in my L4 and L5 discs..and a minor wedging in my T6..posture and incorrect lifting was likely the cause of my issues..im hoping to be painfree very soon! 😣😣
how are you after 3 months? I have somewhat of a similar issue.
So what medication were there to take ?
would it be possible to heal a torn ligament in the spine ( that helps hold the disc in) without surgery... I guess I'm kinda wondering if yall have come across this before...
physicaltherapyvideo... Thank you for taking time to reply, I was pretty sure that would be hard to judge. 😊Sadly I'm thinking surgery my be my only option at this point. Thanks again.
What is your opinion about taking Gabapentin for the nerve pain?
It didn’t work for me. Currently trying amitriptyline
@@United-till-i-die I already was on Amitriptyline and it didn't work any better than the Gabapentin does for me. I hope that it helps you though. Feel better 🙂
I take 200mg of gabapentin with 200mg of Carbamazepine as that works and relieves pain.
back ground noise??
Addiction #1 dont forget
Spiritual help:
Revelation 21.4 (KJV) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
This is what we look forward to if we trust in Jesus Christ.
The world to come is gonna be grand. Don't miss it, keep the hope, and hold onto it, His promises are true.. and this is only one of them, but it's a really good one. Learn of Christ. 👍
Matthew 11.28-30 (KJV) 28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
Notice that no one believes in God anymore? You know what I’m gonna keep praying to Jesus Christ. He is the one that performs miracles. It is an Elon musk that puts micro chips and brains. OK? I have had this happened to me twice so far and I really can’t put my finger on it because my back doesn’t hurt. It’s literally down my side and then all the way down to my calf in the back is the sciatica.
I'm taking Combiflam to get relief from sciatica pain, Is it right?
My pain was so bad I needed hydrocodone for breath through pain I was up three days not stop pain and Ibuprofen naproxen Tylenol didn’t work to ease the pain.
I had thr gastric sleeve and cant have nsaids. What can i take for inflammation
So definitely take an anti inflammatory to help begin heeling. But take only as needed? Or take every so often the dose indicates to keep inflammation down? I believe i may have a bulging disc for 7 months now. No damage in lumbar xrays. I suppose its not as bad. I can walk. Mostly sciatica & pain in the butt unless resting a certain way.
What exercises for a herniated disk that is pressing on the femoral nerve?
As little as possible..... been there done that...
Seriously ...I burst L4/5. Fucked around by asshole doctor who said he couldn't see anything wrong...got several opinions from different doctors finally got CT scans which proved what I'd already been telling them...they said I needed physio....went ..did what they said..it got worse....they would not listen when I complained about pain.... finally had enough of being treated like a cunt..so I got a lawyer....had a six year battle with work cover....and still had to look for work... even though I couldn't have worked even if someone would have hired me.....six years of unnecessary and unbelievable pain ...dr appointments.. specialists...job search... physio..court appearances...... fucking arseholes.....if your in pain stick to your guns.....I didn't get any pain relief from this until I finally had surgery....I was on codine tablets ..I was drinking insane amount of piss smoking pot...and still no relief...... surgery. And immediately pain stopped....still have problems with it and find older I'm getting the back is starting to get worse with age ....but now managble with anti inflammation drugs...I wish you luck ..but listen to your body not the fuckers in White coats
Hello lads, just wondering whats your opinion on creatine for dehydrated and bulging disks?
Love your videos and you guys are lifesavers! I was wondering what your personal thought on epidural steroid injections for lumbar herniation at L2. Got one planned later this week and quite concerned having needles anywhere around the spine. Thanks guys and keep up the great work!
Howard Sheckells stay away from any more epidural injection. There is a risk of Adhesive Arachnoiditis and that is tragic. Very few doctors acknowledge this as a possibility. They inject you every 3/6 months and hope that you get better. It’s actually not approved for injection in the spine. My son reacted poorly to the injection pain got worse than before. Go to the Tennant foundation and get info on the risks of steroids injections and how to treat these problems.
Howard sheckells did you get the epidural
3 handsome men! Thanks guys.
give me a break.....these guys are troll ugly.
Hibopruphen aleeve didn't work on my borgen disc
I want to know if their have cure for sciatica
Too much noise in the back please try to avoid it
