OMG, these guys are the truth! I’m a military veteran, been having pain in my left butt area, that traveled down my leg for the past 2 weeks, I assumed it was my sciatica, so I’ve been doing stretches for my sciatica with little to no relief; well guess what? I did this piriformis stretch and viola, instant relief. I want to cry tears of joy. God Bless you both 😊
Over a year ago I was working at the vet, trying to restrain a 98 lbs German Shepherd and suddenly I feel a snap and electricity through my waist, lower back and right leg. That night I was unable to sleep, because of the pain and same happened over 1 1/2 month. I was unable to walk, stand or sit without pain, in many occasions my leg felt without any strength and tripped while walking. The pain calm, but always was there through this year. Now it is very bad again, I can’t tolerate the pain anymore and yes I’m gonna get check this time. If I bend it hurts, if I stand it hurts, if I’m sitting it hurts, if I’m laying on the bed it hurts… But I want to add that I did this test 5:03 and I felt that my right lower back and butt was about to break, the pain was awful. I’m just 28 y/o, but to be honest I haven’t treat my body carefully all this years… there are many stories that I can tell, but never broke a bone. Bull chase, dog attacks, a jet-sky run over my waist when he was getting out of the water, felt from trees many tienes, jump a 12+’ roof with an umbrella or a big bag as a kid, cow kicks, bicycle accidents, four track accidents and the list go on. But never felt such pain until that day, the day that I forced myself to restrain a furious, angry 98 pounds German Shepherd, so I could administrate the sedative to heal his wounds. Passion hurts sometimes 😪
I feel exactly like what you felt, I sit it hurts, If I bend it hurts, it I sit in on the floors with my legs crossed and I stand up it hurts, I feel the pain in both legs, it hurts every day ! Im just 21 and I spoke to my mom she said I’m too young to be in so much pain

I’ve had it since I was 10 let’s just say school was hell
You guys are so appreciated! ❤
Thanks. I could understand that my problem was sciatica only with the help of your tests. Today I confirmed the same with Orthopedic Doctor.
Same condition pain 2monthns pain strt hip and thigh I am so confused?
Nicely explained
Big thank you to you guys …
Thank you, I always needed this
Awesome, just get self-diagnosed in less that a minute from the very first exercise.
Ofcorse will visit a docotor, bu now i'm clearer where i stand.
Thanks, guys 🙏🙏
The only time I feel any pain or tingling is when I move my right leg below the knee to my left, lifting it over my left foot. But this has been going on for 3 or 4 weeks.
It took me 9 months to completely heal sciatica/herniated disc. I feel so lucky that it has healed. IMcKenzie exercises helped me greatly. I recommend everyone to watch bob&brad's videos/
Are u fine now ?
Can u go to the gym ?[
@@shiviahuja9840 Yes, I can go to the gym and train. However, I avoid working with machines that lock my spine in bad forms or any exercise that put too much stress on my back.
Bob and Brad I have had severe pain in my right buttocks for a month. I have done the tests and nothing
shows up for what might be the cause. I have a little pain in the lower back put the sever pain is in the
buttocks. We only have Nurse Practitioners in the village I live in. I'm doing all of your exercises so I
hope one of them will cure me. Thank you for your help.
For the disc one, what if it hurts with your head up while pulling the chair?
Love 😍you guys! Thank you & take care!
Nice video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Parlandealey Leaving Pain Process (should be on google have a look)? It is a good one off product for learning how to cure Sciatica minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my cooworker at last got great results with it.
i have pain around my back(sort of feels like its inside my body) when i bend sideways. How can i find out what i have?
I did my left hip a few days ago and im in so much pain i can barely walk
My mind five seconds after I felt sciatica in my leg.. "🎶Bob and Brad.. 🎶
Thank you so much for precious suggestions, may I send my MRI report to pacify my problem please and accordingly proceed the treatment.
That last test associated with piriformis- when I do the stretch it's fine, but when I release the leg, I feel pain in the pelvis area. Is this the same?
I can't even lift my leg up to do the fitst test.
My legs are numb , not working at all.
I can hardly walk.
Can you make a video on ,,do you have spine tumor ,self test ,I am suffering from some of symtoms that maybe leads to spine problem would you make a video !??
Why do I feel stab/ pinch in my left lower back which radiate to the side of my butt and my back upper thigh when I do backward leg extantion with my right leg ?
*standing on left foot banding forward and lift my right leg backward ( like a- T shape) but a bit higher?
Done sciatica test which came out negative.
is an inversion table ok for compressed discs ? (I have 4)
I have it but I use an anti inflammatory gel and that helps a lot.
Hi I had severe pain down my spine, resulting like some thing is destroying muscles from my hip to my toe on the right side and down the inner side of my left thigh. Went to several doctors but none was vz able to help. Resort to using warm water at nights with much relief
Now the right leg is very tender and sensitive to touch especially my weight. Now anxiety set in and causing delay imy healing any suggestions
What if during the piraformis stretch it hurts on the inside of your thigh not in the glute, but i have shooting pain running down from front pelvis to to knee when sitting or standing or pivoting?
I mostly get the needles/burning sensation on my outer right thigh when laying flat on my back. It's a pain when having to sleep, but the pain goes away if I sleep on my side or stomach
Are you overweight?
Same here....bulged disc Between 4and 6 spinal bone and muscle spasm along lower back no prob with rotation of upper body.While sitting on chair I can band knee and pull toward another leg it is so sore around the knee and range of leg move is limited. I can walk any direction with no pain lying on the back in bed is sore only back position with bended knee can help .
This happened to me the moment I passed a kidney stone, pain hasn’t gone in months
When I sit down and try to raise my right leg i get a sharp pain on the right hand side leading to the spine on the lower back but I feel no pain in the right leg at all can you guys please help with the self diagnosis
I play soccer and suffered a hard knock like feeling in my calf muscle while running that forced me to stop playing for a while , It’s been about 3 months since that happened I’ve gone back to play a couple times but cannot last more than 20 minutes without feeling a pain around my Achilles’ tendon that hurts when I stretch my leg out to walk with a nasty pinch like feeling concentrated a bit above my Botox almost on the waist line that cause lower body weakness when I turn or try to do any physical activities I stop playing a return when I don’t feel the pain but leave with the same pain always might this be sciatic pain?
Hi Bob & Brad, I'm not experiencing any back pain and my pain is radiating from my piriformis and going down my leg. My Glutes are tight and sore and streching helps along with a lacrosse ball. I'm confident I have piriformis syndrome. However, when I do the slump test as demonstrated in your video the pain still radiates down my leg. Are you suggesting this could also be coming from my back? I emphasize the word "suggesting" as of cource your can't give a medical diagnosis but in your experience do you think this could be Sciatica?
So was yours true piriformis syndrome and no back issues? I see this comment was 2 yrs ago.
I just had an ESI for sciatica. It's been a week so the jury is still out as to the success of the injection.
Hey my last name is willoughby
My right leg sometimes hurt all the way to my hips when I guess I'm not sitting properly
What’s the name of the specialist who treats sciatica nerve issues?
Both sides equally hurt pulling leg up.
Plz need help.what nerve would cut off blood flow.plz yyvm
I can not put weight on my left leg when I walk up stairs. So I have to bring my lg up with a baby step. I have no problem walking downstairs.
This only started about one month ago. The only time I feel pain is when I walk up the stairs
I can barely lift my feet before it hurts, slouch just gave me shooting pain and well as reaching down to floor.
How is your pain now ?
What type of dr you see for priformus pain
Damn the first stretch I almost fell off my couch in a weird ass pain lmaoooo
Nice i have a sciatica, like my father (he also had a broken spinal disk which is way worse and dangerous)
It started at 13 when i lifted my dog quickly as we thought he was having a seizure, now i'm 23 and sometimes it comes back. What a mess x)
I don’t have an increase of pain Doing any of these but I also don’t have an increase of pain doing piriformis syndrome test. My osteopathic dr told me I have a twisted core. Could this be coming from my hips?
Ok my right upper leg get numb when I'm standing a little too long but when I sit down it goes away!
I had this pain today it was so bad I thought I was going to faint. I had to crawl to the bathroom on hands and knees to get to the paracetamol. It's not going down my leg so much. It's at the top of my left buttock in that little spinal area. It's gone down to a dull ache but if I make any sudden moves it turns into a sharp horrible pain that goes right through my insides.
Exactly like what i feel. And mine was in the left side too. I already think it is sciatica.. considering it takes weeks before it goes off
This is exactly what I've felt also. Perfect description.
How all r u now? Was it gone?
do u feel better now
I have this but only my spine hurts , only when I lift my leg , but the the leg or anything else doesn’t hurt I put my neck up it’s fine and when I put my deck down it hurts is that still sciatica or something else ?
it hurts when i push on my lower spine but only on the left of it. and when i do the leg stretch test it hurts way more on the left. is that sciatica? i’m a 16 year old football player and track athlete
Can this also cause a tight sharp pain in the groin/scrotum? I'm 36 male with a previous whiplast car injury and low back injury. I get a constant sharp pain in my groin if say I sit in my car and reach into the back seat? It's bad enough sometimes I jolt forward. My drs are at a loss and it's been years! I'm so frustrated with all this sharp pain. :(
I have constant burning and soreness in the glute area. Feels like I'm sitting on a pan of fire. I got a massage yesterday and today it feels like I did 100 squats and it feels bruised. I do have a bilateral pars defect, grade 1 spondy, osteoarthritis and foraminal stenosis. Do you think the pain I'm describing is sciatica?
I think you should go see a doctor.
And not Doctor Google nor Doctor RUclips.
Take Bob and Brad's advice and go see a phisician!
Everything I have hurts. What does that mean?
That you’re old?🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️😍❤️
Me to
Ok, I need advice plz? After walking for approx 30-45 min, I can not walk for the next 2-3 days cause I am in so much pain. Some times I don't even have to do that and I have extreme pain trying to walk and the pain is at the tailbone and just off to each side, but never both at the same time and the tingling down my legs never goes away. What do you think this could be?
Sounds like you and I have the exact same issues. I’m on week 7 of sciatic nerve issues. It’s horrible
@@seven7asable The thing is, it's on both sides, but walking brings on the pain. I injured my tailbone as a teen and it's getting worse. I'm so tired of being in pain
I have the same issues had a couple of fusions let tell you one very important thing that sets my pain off i walk alot and when my walking shoes start to breakdown even though they look fine my back hips but feet every thing starts hurting if you're shoes you walk in are over a year old do yourself a favor and buy a new pair
Hello sir, my name is Raju Verma, I am from India. Sir, I am suffering from sciatic pain since last 3 months. Please tell us about the treatment of Scientia so that we can get relief.🙏
I did the test but I answered no to everything,though I think I'll pass it with flying colors when I have my moments of pain..
I have some sort of pain in my spine but I dont think its in the lumbar coz its just in line with my last rib..and when i do gardening like for 1-3 hours, after a while, my right butt (pelvic bone(?) or something all the way to my knee will feel weak and painful depending on the angle, and I wouldn't be able to walk or sit without feeling pain till I find the right angle to be able to do so. Though the slightest movement will bring pain.I also cant put my weight on my right side coz it'll hurt. It disappears when I put hot compress on my butt.
I wonder if there's a sciatica case that could be reoccuring only at certain conditions...Even though my butt and knee pain is gone...my spine ache is still there when I bend backwards
I had been really impressed with this sciatica pain guide called MySciaticaPain9.blogspot.com In most instances, the alignment of my knees, hips as well as back is retained because of this. I no more experience painful feelings each and every time I get up. In addition, I noticed advancements in my knees due to this program. .
I have done all the test and everything is negative.
I have lower left back pain for six months, i got steroid shot 3 weeks ago into my muscle because i felt stab there in certain stretches. But now I just have pain there (almost without stabbing) when i walk alot or sit alot or just like that.
I also feel a bit of heat there.
About the Piriformis-
I have to do stretches everyday (in my left side, which got worse since the back pain.)
But i used to have it before..
My butt is in so much pain in the middle especially
Now i don't know if the knee, calf(sensation a bit), heel pain and the back of my thigh(a bit of sensation) hurts a bit because of the back or because of the butt...
Any help?
I feel like there is imaginary line from the spot in my lower back to the middle of my butt which causes pain.
* i tried running before I got the steroid shot and when i hit with heel on the ground i felt stab in the exact same point which is in pain in my lower left back.
* compares to the right side..
Hello Gentlemen, I have a question? I do have sciatica and I just had a very painful 3 week battle with it. Excruciating pain i have ever felt. I'd rather give birth 50xs then go though that again. My question is the sciatica episode i had was very painful on my right foot, so much that I feel pain and numbness still and I have a swollen part on top of my foot and it feels really tight and painful and not even p as in pills help. What is your opinion on this before I go see my doctor again????
are u better now
Thanks for the hints lads, that was very helpful. But lose the embarrassing jingle, it's cheap!
I see the packers mug in the back. Go pac go.
Less Aaron Rodgers
Love u sir
Anybody else see that PLEASE HELP video upload, then deleted?
Westcoaststyling maybe they found out they were being used to but out disinformation and had to remove the video. I really like Bob and Brads channel. There videos help so many. I don’t think they would give such a plea unless they thought is was true. I give them a lot of credit for removing the video to make it right if truly that is what happened.
Yeah im curious
I saw it too and that's why I am here. I never got to see the actual video, did anyone see it? I'm worried about my favorite pt guys.
I don't feel pain in any of these test situations but I still have constant pain in my lower back, especially when trying to reach something from the floor, or when I try to touch my toes with straight legs. Is that can be still Sciatica?
That's something else but you should talk to a doctor.
As soon as I sit and slouch i feel pain all the way down to my little toe.
hi. I've done some stretching exercises from this channel in the hopes that it would help with something, but it evidently has not... i have what feels like a lump in my lower back, just to the right of the right dimple above my buttock. it's usually not painful at all, but if any pressure goes onto it, it's the most excruciating pain that I've ever felt(like someone's punching my bone with a protruding knuckle)... i'm even afraid to do a backward roll, because while doing that, i sometimes shift my weight slightly to the right and... hello pain. I don't know what it is and don't know what tests to do to find out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You should go check your spine at the hospital whenever you can dude. I hope you will get better soon.
I feel the same but its occasional like after gardening and it disappears when I put hot compress
It took me 9 months to completely heal sciatica/herniated disc. McKenzie exercises helped me greatly. I did not see a doctor at all and healed it by doing a lot of stretching based on Bob & Brad's videos. I also sometimes took Ibupurofen and turmeric pills. I got herniated dsic due to sitting in a bad posture for a long time due to office work, so I bought myself a standing desk.
Thats more twst than any doctors done for me and ive been to a few. Hooray free health care
I got positive to all tests wew I probably got sciatica and should go see a doctor
I hate getting old
🌿 Can I do these tests if I had a Spinal Fusion on my C3, C4, C5 & C6? Had an emergency surgery on 10/31/21? 🌿 #HairByMikalaSky
I would hold on these. See our Programs Tab in our Boband brad.com website for a Free list of Sciatica videos with Free PDF print outs. I wish you well. Brad
*Looks at the thumbnail*
Yeah I got sciatica
Midnight upload lmao
Joe Montana and Bill Nyes stunt doubles
I must have piriformis...at least that's what I think after watching this video.
Will it affects 20yrs old guys
Of course, it can definitely affect teenagers too.

Mine seems to be neither piriformis nor sciatica. Might be the spinal stenosis but it's deep and low in my right buttock. It recurs a few times per year. Feels like a tight tendon or something. I have stenosis in all 3 major spinal regions plus bursitis in both hips plus widespread arthritis plus fibromyalgia etcetcetc. So without going to my dr, I don't know but I intensely don't wanna go so I sit here and hurt. Aren't I brilliant? 🙄🤦😜
why you go on a bed in your shoes?
because USA
Its a bed for examinations only
I sleep with my shoes on every night
something is wrong with me, no to all tests... and I can hardly work, and the lower back pain is here. 🥺
i’m literally 22 smh
What if your back hurts so bad you could... ahhhhhh!
What if on the last one, reaching up hurts but you're only 29 (they ALL hurt like a mf)
Why do you have that weird yellow mug with the big G on it? is that a Golf Mug? or ...Georgia? Hmmmm...
The beginning song is disgusting 🤦♂️
I just have a question for you guys: Are you qualified physicians ?
Good content tho in my opinion they should put their ego a side a bit (specially the guy on our right, which I'm guessin is Bob)
It's just funny how they look at each other while explaining, sort of like looking for approval in regards, sort of looking for confirmation that they're right from one another. LOL. For most part tho i had the feeling that they are talking to each other, not to their audience. Which is fine i guess, cos the content is good.
I just have a question for you guys: Are you qualified physicians ?
That's a silly question to ask because they said they were physical therapists in the very beginning lol
None of these tests helped me diagnose what my problem is :/ I'm in UK, do I see a doctor or chiropractor? Not sure I trust doctors to have integrity 😕
You'll hav to see your doctor first thats the way the game is played then he'll refer you to a neurologist
Do not trust the NHS system, they will fail you miserably. What you have to do is get a private MRI and from get a private consultation with a neurosurgeon. The neurosurgeon will tell you the best possible treatment whether that’s just physiotherapy or a surgery. Do not waste your time with GPs. They are incompetent and do not have any knowledge whatsoever of anything but a common cold.
