I’m only 17 and I’ve been having it for just under a year. I remember waking up with pain but it wasn’t until I made a slide tackle in soccer practice when a rush of excruciating pain filled my back and couldn’t walk without having pain and made me miss playoffs. I thought the problem would heal itself overtime but now its starting to hurt again. 🤦♂️
I had t12 L1 L2 spinal fusion in June 2019. I'm now 33. The last two month I've had those second symptoms. I walk like hunchback. Back pain included, leg tingly on left side. As I wait to see my doctor, I am doing studying of my own. Thank you for this video.
I had severe sciatica after weeding the garden last November 2023. Shortly after had partial footdrop - left foot and numbness in front of my left leg. The pain went after three weeks but the disfunction remained but very slowly improved. I had an MRI 5th January 2024. I saw the results last week. There was a 18mm protrusion on my L4 disc. I would say that was large, but my functional walking is much better now and I only have a small numbness. In just the last week the improvement is great. I am not sure if that is the end of it, certainly hope so. Need to be extremely careful now and get a gardener maybe. I relate very well to the point about pain in the leg and not in the back - that was very true for me. The worst and most scary thing was the disfunctionality as I love hiking. It takes so much longer to improve than the pain.
What hurt the most is when the nerve fail to do a proper blood flow, its the hurt that will make you uncomfortable in any position. You can’t even sleep
Got my pinch nerve a few years back while gyming, entirely my fault as i did not listen tp my body. Does not effect my daily life, no pain. Only acts up if i do exercises which place tension on my lower back eg. Deadlifts, barbell rows. Stopped doing these 2 exercises years ago. Decided to do deadliftes again and boom started again. Extreme sharp pain in lower back. Would have went down to my left leg but stopped exercise immediately. Will be sore for the next 2 - 3 days but then back to normal. Last time this happened my left leg gave in and i was literally crawling in pain. Got into an ice bath and helped ease the extreme pain.
Sometimes a pinched nerve in your cervical spine (neck) can also lead to tingling/numbness in your legs. Having an MRI will reveal where the problem is. A note: MRIs are way cheaper in third world countries (like $50) versus thousands of dollars and long wait times in the US.
2nd time in 6 months Ive taken an ambulance to the ER for what has to be a pinched lumbar nerve. The pain is unimaginable. Saw a surgeon a couple months ago and they want to send me out of town for a Basil vertibral ablation (BVN Ablation). IDK what to do but I know I cant go through this again, the everyday chronic pain in my back is bad enough but this is insanely painful.
Pinched lumbar nerve worst pain I've ever felt. I had steroid injections 2 days ago and already feel 75% better. Not advocating the shots...just saying
Dude I'm 22 n yesterday putting my shoes on literally I lift my leg a bit high n my back completely went out like literally almost fell down n now my back feels like a knife is rubbing my bone is been a day n half still😢
I love your content I really really appreciate you and everything you said about the pinched nerve that I have just got back from the hospital and they diagnosed me with a pinched nerve so I just want to say thank you thank you thank you and keep up the great content
Not sure if you would get this but cold a pinch nerve in the upper back cause your back to feel cold between and around shoulder blades. I will note my shoulder blade bone around the muscle feels tender
No problems with my lower back. Had further scan on upper back and brain. Still awaiting results on these. Due anytime but I'm fairly confident there won't be anything untoward (as long as they find a brain - ha ha ha)
Thanks for the video...I just have lower back pain it hurts so bad I thought I had a pinched nerve but the pain isn't going down my leg is just my lower back
I don’t remember any numbness tingling..it just feels like a horse kicked me, and docs here want to do a hip replacement….ugh. I’m protesting. I think it’s a pinch nerve. Seeing a spine doc soon. But my pain starts on my right butt area, hurts in the joint and goes down the front of my thigh. I swear I can feel my femur bone.
@@erinbeltran1820 yes!!! After over a year of pain, 3 docs saying I need a hip replacement…I got an MRI and new doc said I have nerve damage in the sacroiliac/sciatic bundle at the like last 3 vertebrae. They wanted me to come back for a shot in one of them so they would know which it was…but I did basic stretching exercises for both, sat on a heat pad, rubbed horse liniment on it, and took high dosage benfotiamine (b vitamin heals nerve sheaths) within a week..I could walk. 2 weeks later I was pain free.. didn’t even go back for the shot.
im 24 😕 and since last few days ... I've been experiencing mild lower back pain over the left buttock and sometimes it radiates towards leg and even toe ... also burning sensation
I have 4 pinched nerves. Had lots of X-rays to confirm it. Yet can’t do anything about it because I’m a hemophiliac! My blood doesn’t clot right. Sometimes it doesn’t clot at all and I almost died twice. Had 2 blood transfusions to save my life. Glad I’m alive but my back is getting worse and I have Osteoarthritis as well. I’m a mess lol
Lower back pain and im locked up. It hurts to go from lying down to getting up, getting up to sitting down. And if i try to do it normally my spine will seize and i will fall. I fell twice this morning and hurt my leg and arm. My left leg also feels the effects of the nerve pinched.
Thank you my spine is always stiff and my right side alaays hurts in the lower right back area . Always feels tender and painful . Pins and needles goes down outside my leg
Chiro and PT is the way to go, unless you need surgery. It's strange how I'll have a pinched nerve show up out of the blue every couple years and it can be down the side of my leg into the calf, or it can be where your big toe is stiff and hard to walk. I've also had it mess with my knee and hip making it harder to walk. Then again, I've had hamstring tendonitis that makes you think it's sciatica coming from a disc issue. Basically, it can be a different area of the body depending on where the pressure is located in the lumbar area. Sucks. Only way I've gotten over it quickly is the combo of chiro and PT to strengthen the core.
Thank you so so much for this video! More knowledgeable than any doc I saw for my pinched nerve. My MRi (of pretty much my entire body) didnt show anything. Based on your explanation, i would think that would only leave me with inflammation in the area. How would that be diagnosed? And what type of injection would be used?
Hello, I’m glad to find this. I recently hurt myself after being on my knees and then suddenly was pushed back into a position that that was beyond my capabilities. It started with lower back pain and numbness in my left leg. Over time I began getting hip abductor pain between my pelvis and thigh which started to cause cramping in my knee. I now have numbness all the way from my inner thigh, around my knee, and down my inner calf and a portion of my ankle. I’ve been to the doctor 4 times with severe pain, pain in left hip, as well as severe cramping in my knee. I’ve taken a round of prednisone. Things that make it worse are standing, lifting my leg, not moving as well as any lifting is the worst. I got an x ray of my lower back/hips and they said it’s not broken but I knew that. I could really use some help with what to ask my doctor, how to explain it so they actually listen etc. the only thing that relieves the pain is when I lightly tie a bandana around my inner thigh. I know you can’t give medical advice but there are 2 things you have brought up that I know I have. When I walk on my tiptoes my heal drops, I can’t keep my leg held up without severe pain, it’s even hard to lift my leg up over the tub. Also my blood pressure has been extremely high for me last one I took was 201/89. In fact all my blood pressure’s have been this high since this started. I can’t seem to get my doctors to listen to me and now the numbness in mt inner leg is growing. Any suggestions because I can’t seem to explain this in a way that gets them to listen. I’ve had to stop working, can’t stand for very long it’s just a nightmare. Finally I had 1 issue where I lost my ability to hold my bladder just as I was walking to use the restroom. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I do have an ortho referral
I’m not in any means a medical advisor I’m literally 17 but I have similar issues not quite as bad at the moment and I’ve been watching the body weight warriors stretches and have been doing them for a couple weeks and that allows space and stretching for more room of the pinched nerve to become more loose and less trapped and has helped relieve pain
It is very difficult to identify what you have without a full exam but you definitely need to see an orthopedist. If you have foot weakness, it's likely you may have a pinched nerve in your back.
I got lower back pain for 8 months now it was a little less pain for 2 days but it started again until now..annoying cause I can do anything heavy and now even light task seems impossible to tacke.. Its worse cause health care is expensive
Pretty sure I’ve pinched my lower back nerve 4 times so far from working out, particularly on leg days. Today I pinched it and am not feeling as bad as when I first pinched it. I believe it may be because of stretching but then again may be the adrenaline still numbing the pain will update tmrw. (Also Im 22)
I have had lower back pain for years which is decreased with medication but recently I started feeling an acute pain on the side of my spine which prevents me to be on my feet for a prolonged period of time, like taking a walk or preparing meals. I get tingling on my right and left hand and also feel like my left thigh goes numb at times, but what bothers me the most is the very strong pain that I feel on the left side of my spine, before the pain was on the center of my lower back. Probably this is other than a pinch nerve.
I experienced lower back pain and was diagnosed with grade 1 spondylolisthesis. The doctor just told me to live with it and advised me to strengthen my core. However, a few days later, I started experiencing more knee pain and some tingling in my foot. I do sports and lift weights every day, and I also rock climb. I'm very fit and only 24, but I still don’t know how I got it. I'm also trying to find a way to alleviate the knee pain.
I have a herniated disk that’s causing a pinched nerve. Shirt walks I’m ok but longer ones my leg starts to feel weak. Can the nerve become damaged? I have to walk a lot. Not sure what to do. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for this. I have weakness that comes and goes in both legs. I'm fine most of the time but then my buttocks go numb and my legs start to give out on me. This only lasts for a few minutes and then may not recur for weeks
Please go to chiropractor. It will become more frequent over time. Let's get that checked out:). Chiropractors really change lives, if you're not familiar.
I think I have this, the doctors were thinking it's acid reflex or something with the stomach because the pain is right above my abdomin and it feels like a burning sensation right on my belly. I pressed my back against the edge of the wall (complete opposite side of the actual pain) and it started to feel better
God, this is the second time it happened, now im experiencing my legs giving out anytime(weak) and headaches most of the days.. Injury happened when im doing high intensity exercise..Should have listened to my body, definitely not for me to participate in any strenuous exercise Doc? Edit: Specialist diagnosed me retrolisthesis before my legs are weak..Great..
Do you have any clips on how to stretch muscles and open up the cervical neck area to get rid of pain and headaches? thanks so much. My muscles in the neck area are all sore and very tight.
I have spondylosis from l1 to s1. S1 has extra problem of impingement. I have low back pain, pain down the inside leg, right down to the instep. It gets bad, and painkillers help a little. Physio has not helped. My feet sometimes go numb, and they really annoy me.
I am 28 i have burning sensation in both legs from thighs to feet and in hand also i checked my diabetes is normal and sometimes i got tingling sensation in my feets from 3 years i am suffering to this please some one help me out and i checked MRI scan with the results as loss of lumbar lordosis and can someone please help me i cant wear pant and shoes😢
ok.. this is awesome.. I've been seeing a chiro for about 9 months now with this so called pinched nerve.......it helps for a short time. I'm a hot mess with my back due to RA and spinal stenosis & just reg. DDD but what gives.. THIS IS NOT going away & I have things to do. I want to get back out there and walk. I"m 67 and I have grandkids and want to be active.. So your video gives us an idea as to identifying a pinched nerve.. NOW how the heck do I get rid of it.. What do you recommend! I can't stand this sedentary life. I have to give up life with my retired girlfriends........
I had a lot of these symptoms especially tingly ish foot for six months I am a weightlifter and was loading my spine heavy it felt like I had fallen asleep on my foot but all the time I had developed a really bad case of plantar fictitious idk if that’s how u spell it a lot of the pain has remained in my heel and arch and ankle pain when running for more than 5ish minutes any help??? Or ideas I have been trying to treat conservatively
Can a chiropractor help. I'm dealing with an extreme case of this. Excruciating pain and numbness in my left leg and back. Can't sleep on my left side and back. Has to sleep on my left side and even that's not helping. PLEASE HELP ME
Having the exact same pain you described after heavy lifting. Going on day 5 and not being able to sleep. How long did you deal with this and what measures did you take?
I have lifting experience last year my coaches tried to put me in a competition, and I felt something in a heavy lift, very little, the problem is that next sessions talking with them I felt that it was downgraded and continued normally when I felt a pain strong, they are still my friend but immediately left the gym as health was my primordial objective, got calmed down and never feel it, just sometimes and makes a little reflection to.a.testicle pain, I still need treatment. ¿ Sadly I'm in Mexico this type of videos are life savers a little advice ?.
@@danielmoreno2969 don’t give up on lifting if it’s something small u probably have tight muscles that rest on nerves or just weak points in your kenntic chains I would number one stretch and roll your legs especially your hips and work on your core strength and glute strength with things like banded fire hydrants and side steps and planks front planks and side planks to work the obliques your back is just over working since your other muscles are not firing so I would stretch and lose in the hips and work on functional core strength and stretching but specific stretching that target ur tight areas one blanket stretch is the one legged leaning lunge hope this helps brother heavy lifting means all small muscles need to work together don’t forget to strength and stretch your calves and ankles as well! And never quit! Just adapt you got this!
@@ekitt7629 i have severe nerve impingement. 4 herniated discs. They did a stand up mri of my lumbar spine. Thank you for asking. I will be seeing a Neuro surgeon Sept 7th i think. There is one stretching exercise that seems to relieve the pain Thank God. I hope your feeling well. Also big toe and toe next to it are numb still and can't lift that foot up
Yeah how are you now I could use advice, I’m a year of pain every day hard to walk numb thighs sharp shooting pain, I try everything from yoga, chrio, Ice heat, taking walks,new bed, less work driving (so less sitting) pills, thc, I’m so lost in what to do besides surgery 😢
@@BrentTerrell-e8h hey there , have you had a mri? If not do the mri of the lumber spine. The areas you have pain are from nerves. Let me know. I can even explain a very simple stretch that will take the pain away. I need to know about the MRI, which leg,hip,calf,numb first 2 toes etc.
@@BrentTerrell-e8h there is one stretch i can show you or explain to you that should help right away. Let me know the symptoms you are having at this moment in time ok
I was in a car wreck 2wks ago and I have a chronic condition and was doing great until the wreck. I have nerve pain down my legs, left arm and left jaw and some in right arm and face, neck. I cannot get a mri until PT is complete. I've been in pain and feel nerve basically all over my body. Idk... what this is?
For about five years I've had random numbness down my buttocks and both legs. It used to happen seldomly but now its happening 4 or five times a day. In between this numbness I'm fine.
I have numbness in the iner thigh and sometimes in the groin and rarely after sitting for long periods of time my lower back and down to my buttocks also to my legs i have tingling and some numbness
This happened over night on my right hip & tail bone, there's a swelling, soreness & a pull I can barely walk& it's burning down both legs today,I actually walked to the store Friday & cooked a bit Thursday, please comment
I've had this issue where, I am in no pain at all, but I can't lift my legs without picking them up with my hands, so can't put on shoes when seated, can't wash under either of my feet without picking them up, etc, etc. I was told by docs looking at at MRI that I do have a herniated disk, but they don't see ANY reason as to why I have this issue. Does this make sense to you? If I do have some compress nerves caused by the herniated disk, BUT I am in no pain what so ever, do you think it's something else or the Herniated disk compressing the nerves? If so, is it something that can be fixed?
@StevenNGFX Really, first person I've ever "met" or spoken too... I've been okay, able to walk, just gotta make sure I don't fall, or put myself in a situation... If so I'll be done... But I am walking okay, just legs feel heavy. If I ever fix that issue I'll feel like superman! Next year will dedicate a lot of time to finding a solution... So same exact issue huh?? How long? Were you told anything by docs as to the cause?
I get an intermittent dull throbbing down along Tibialis anterior. No numbness, tingling or weakness anywhere. My orthopedic thinks it’s sciatica and says the pain sensation can jump (ie: I have no pain in low back or upper leg. Is this possible and is there a self test? Could it be referred from a trigger point? I’ve had sciatica in the other leg in the past and this feels nothing like it. I do train and lift at the gym, so I’m sure it’s related to that activity. It began acutely about 9 weeks ago. Also, at that time felt like I strained a lot of muscles my whole leg. Never experienced this before.
I have numbness/pain at the back of my toes and padded part of foot near the toes. It can be hard to walk. No leg pain. Lower back pain and abnormal emg test. I wonder if it is pinched nerves or Morton's neuroma?
It's aching on both sides & I can barely walk,a pinch is on my right side & that's really never happened before I can barely lift my right leg & my bad side is the left, someone please comment what to do on this video
If interested in commenting, I have very cold and numb like feeling in feet and legs from auto accident in March. Struggling to find cause and have EMG test today. Dr thinks I may have slightly crushed L4 or L5. We'll see.
I’ve got muscle weakness in the legs, is this trapped nerve? I also have pain in lower back and in the middle back, it feels very bruised and sore. I don’t know if this is causing it but doctors just wants me to wait it out, I’m really worried though, can anyone advise me? All my blood tests are normal.
Could cold feets on sitting position be a synthom? I am struggling since a year (this is affecting my life already ) to know what’s the root cause several doctors had me checked and nothing 🥴 I’m getting myself to the conclusion is a pinched nerve in the back.. thanks for the good video
What did they say? I'm having a pain on the top of my abdomin like sitting right on top of my belly dead center of my chest. Doctors say it's acid reflex but I've had that before and it's never felt like this. Burning sensation in the area, my finger tips start getting cold. The docs have done blood work, xray, CT scan and can't find anything. I just found out today when I lean really hard against the sharp edge of a wall against my back the pain starts to fade away
i have been in severe pain for a week now, suspect caused by me slouching in my chair when using a pc for hours, had a lot of paracetamol, some alcohol, heated up been bag thing in microwave, tried gels this pain is so bad, cant sit up, it hurts to lie in bed flat its a nightmare
its strange, i still have it but not at the same level as i had when i first commented on the video, i still to this day dont have an answer to what this is.@@lemir3559
I don’t have any back pain or anything, but when I get into a back bend in a certain way or bend my back backwards it starts to tingle and go down my legs and I’m too scared to be in that position too long because I think my legs would go paralyzed but I don’t know what would happen. Its in my very low back and I tried popping my back and doing stretches but nothing works. I thought everyone’s back did this but no they don’t. I may ask my doctor but that’s in a few months and I really need and answer cause I don’t know what’s wrong with my back if there’s any. I’m only 13 so I don’t know what could be going on..

Hi sir . I got slipped while taking shower and hitted my neck on heater radiator then my upper back with the wall and all the way on the floor slapped from my lower back to upper back and it shocked me and my right hand was on my chest left side . I managed to get up and later in the night i felt my neck muscles hurts too much and can't move my neck left or right and even leaving bed i lift up my neck to sit well i bought a massager gun it was effective nd in 2 weeks time i recovered but in an month time i started to feel needling in my back specially lower on both sudes and i was like it's a sign of kidney stones i went to doctor he done my urine test he said it's all good he gave me ciprofloxacin for 5 days daily 2 pills was effective well now i feel needling in rib cage and i have a small lump on left side at the corner of rib cage and i feel tickling and burning sensation when i do too much movement at job and it radiates to my chest this needling prickling thing and lower back lump side a emotional pain too . Suggest me what i should do . If i stay on bed i feel better . Thanks
So I have pinched nerve since 2 months. I usually have mild back pain, I occasionally get tingling in my foot and my left toe is completely numb since 2 months. My doctor said with proper rest and gentle walking exercise it will be okay. Is it true?? Does it get better if we take rest ?
This is the 3rd week for me. When I inquired about it they said oh it usually only lasts 2 to 6 weeks and if it is still there after that then see the doctor. The pain gets so bad I literally want to unalive myself or at least just shove a knife into my spine and paralyze myself so I dont feel it anymore. By the 3rd week the pain is constant now, just in varying severity, but never gone. It feels the best when lying in a bathtub but after spending 3 hours in there my skin gets so dry and uncomfortable! I dont know what to do without insurance. I doubt an ER will just give me an MRI scan... I've heard there is a long waitlist for MRIs.
Don't know what state you live in, but have you tried checking for a community health center near you that has an established sliding fee scale. This factors in household size and income usually reflected against the most updated poverty guidelines scale.
I can’t get anyone to do something. Pinched nerve with pain but spasm pain is unbareable in AM. INow back injured too and cannot stand. I fear permanent danage due to lack of medical help. 7 days IN
Sir, my problem is numbness on both legs and arms, numbness on lower abdomen... My MRI results shows diffuse disc in C5,C6 and protruding disc in L3,L4... I visited Physiotherapy and Chiropractor... Kindly suggest which doctor will be best for my health

They wanted me to come back for a shot in one of them so they would know which it was…but I did basic stretching exercises for both, sat on a heat pad, rubbed horse liniment on it, and took high dosage benfotiamine (b vitamin heals nerve sheaths) within a week..I could walk. 2 weeks later I was pain free.. didn’t even go back for the shot.
doc please let me know if a pinched nerve can cause muscle twitching
Ever see a pinched nerve in back mimic heart pain? Particularly around where the shoulder and spine meet i think around the 5 back vertebrae
Great information thank you so much 🌻
You are so welcome!
im 24 😕 and since last few days ... I've been experiencing mild lower back pain over the left buttock and sometimes it radiates towards leg and even toe ... also burning sensation
Sorry to hear that Ben Simons
@@MzVolcanicroxlololol
how are you now?
Same!!!! Are you better now? If so, what did you to fix it?
Did you get diagnosed? I feel the same pain as you
I have 4 pinched nerves. Had lots of X-rays to confirm it. Yet can’t do anything about it because I’m a hemophiliac! My blood doesn’t clot right. Sometimes it doesn’t clot at all and I almost died twice. Had 2 blood transfusions to save my life. Glad I’m alive but my back is getting worse and I have Osteoarthritis as well. I’m a mess lol
Lower back pain and im locked up. It hurts to go from lying down to getting up, getting up to sitting down. And if i try to do it normally my spine will seize and i will fall. I fell twice this morning and hurt my leg and arm. My left leg also feels the effects of the nerve pinched.
Thank you my spine is always stiff and my right side alaays hurts in the lower right back area . Always feels tender and painful . Pins and needles goes down outside my leg
You are welcome! I hope you feel better soon.
Whats the best way to treat the numbness and tingling?
Move your foot into the opposite inner thigh while laying down. It helped me alot
I'm 19 and this is the 1st time I'm dealing with this hell.
Chiro and PT is the way to go, unless you need surgery. It's strange how I'll have a pinched nerve show up out of the blue every couple years and it can be down the side of my leg into the calf, or it can be where your big toe is stiff and hard to walk. I've also had it mess with my knee and hip making it harder to walk. Then again, I've had hamstring tendonitis that makes you think it's sciatica coming from a disc issue. Basically, it can be a different area of the body depending on where the pressure is located in the lumbar area. Sucks. Only way I've gotten over it quickly is the combo of chiro and PT to strengthen the core.
And it's gone for you right now?
Chiro & OT was useless to worse Dr. suspects nerve impingement and I await MRI
Very helpful!
This video explain everything i need to know.
Thank you so so much for this video! More knowledgeable than any doc I saw for my pinched nerve. My MRi (of pretty much my entire body) didnt show anything. Based on your explanation, i would think that would only leave me with inflammation in the area. How would that be diagnosed? And what type of injection would be used?
If i have lumbar pain is it normal to have shoulder and arm tingleness aswell?
i been gettin pinched nerve since i was like 15 or 16 , and now im 36 now and still get pinched nerve
im 14 and it stops me from playing basketball with my friends
why does god give us his toughest battles?
How did you do it?
Hello, I’m glad to find this. I recently hurt myself after being on my knees and then suddenly was pushed back into a position that that was beyond my capabilities. It started with lower back pain and numbness in my left leg. Over time I began getting hip abductor pain between my pelvis and thigh which started to cause cramping in my knee. I now have numbness all the way from my inner thigh, around my knee, and down my inner calf and a portion of my ankle. I’ve been to the doctor 4 times with severe pain, pain in left hip, as well as severe cramping in my knee. I’ve taken a round of prednisone. Things that make it worse are standing, lifting my leg, not moving as well as any lifting is the worst. I got an x ray of my lower back/hips and they said it’s not broken but I knew that. I could really use some help with what to ask my doctor, how to explain it so they actually listen etc. the only thing that relieves the pain is when I lightly tie a bandana around my inner thigh. I know you can’t give medical advice but there are 2 things you have brought up that I know I have. When I walk on my tiptoes my heal drops, I can’t keep my leg held up without severe pain, it’s even hard to lift my leg up over the tub. Also my blood pressure has been extremely high for me last one I took was 201/89. In fact all my blood pressure’s have been this high since this started. I can’t seem to get my doctors to listen to me and now the numbness in mt inner leg is growing. Any suggestions because I can’t seem to explain this in a way that gets them to listen. I’ve had to stop working, can’t stand for very long it’s just a nightmare. Finally I had 1 issue where I lost my ability to hold my bladder just as I was walking to use the restroom. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I do have an ortho referral
I’m not in any means a medical advisor I’m literally 17 but I have similar issues not quite as bad at the moment and I’ve been watching the body weight warriors stretches and have been doing them for a couple weeks and that allows space and stretching for more room of the pinched nerve to become more loose and less trapped and has helped relieve pain
It is very difficult to identify what you have without a full exam but you definitely need to see an orthopedist. If you have foot weakness, it's likely you may have a pinched nerve in your back.
Hey, you need to inform your doctor about the bladder problem?? I really hope you're okay??? How are you now??
You did not mention you age however you should be under 40 because your blood pressure 201/89 is somehow unusual since the lower number is normal.
Can this pinched nerve be cured with massaging therapy sessions?
I got lower back pain for 8 months now it was a little less pain for 2 days but it started again until now..annoying cause I can do anything heavy and now even light task seems impossible to tacke..
Its worse cause health care is expensive
thanks man - appreciate the explanation
Glad it helped!
Pretty sure I’ve pinched my lower back nerve 4 times so far from working out, particularly on leg days. Today I pinched it and am not feeling as bad as when I first pinched it. I believe it may be because of stretching but then again may be the adrenaline still numbing the pain will update tmrw. (Also Im 22)
I have had lower back pain for years which is decreased with medication but recently I started feeling an acute pain on the side of my spine which prevents me to be on my feet for a prolonged period of time, like taking a walk or preparing meals. I get tingling on my right and left hand and also feel like my left thigh goes numb at times, but what bothers me the most is the very strong pain that I feel on the left side of my spine, before the pain was on the center of my lower back. Probably this is other than a pinch nerve.
So difficult to tell without seeing you
Very informative
Glad you liked it Roland!
Omg save my life 😢
I experienced lower back pain and was diagnosed with grade 1 spondylolisthesis. The doctor just told me to live with it and advised me to strengthen my core. However, a few days later, I started experiencing more knee pain and some tingling in my foot. I do sports and lift weights every day, and I also rock climb. I'm very fit and only 24, but I still don’t know how I got it. I'm also trying to find a way to alleviate the knee pain.
Thank you 😊
What pinched nerve in thoracic spine. I have stinging pain in naval area. Could this be why?
How to I tell my Dr. How to help or how to find out what I have; I need x-ray right?
Thank you doc
I have a herniated disk that’s causing a pinched nerve. Shirt walks I’m ok but longer ones my leg starts to feel weak. Can the nerve become damaged? I have to walk a lot. Not sure what to do.
Thanks for the video.
Yes the nerve can get damaged if the pressure on it is there long enough. You need a good evaluation
Thanks for this. I have weakness that comes and goes in both legs. I'm fine most of the time but then my buttocks go numb and my legs start to give out on me. This only lasts for a few minutes and then may not recur for weeks
Please go to chiropractor. It will become more frequent over time. Let's get that checked out:). Chiropractors really change lives, if you're not familiar.
I think I have this, the doctors were thinking it's acid reflex or something with the stomach because the pain is right above my abdomin and it feels like a burning sensation right on my belly. I pressed my back against the edge of the wall (complete opposite side of the actual pain) and it started to feel better
God, this is the second time it happened, now im experiencing my legs giving out anytime(weak) and headaches most of the days.. Injury happened when im doing high intensity exercise..Should have listened to my body, definitely not for me to participate in any strenuous exercise Doc?
Edit: Specialist diagnosed me retrolisthesis before my legs are weak..Great..
Do you have any clips on how to stretch muscles and open up the cervical neck area to get rid of pain and headaches? thanks so much. My muscles in the neck area are all sore and very tight.
Funny you ask. I am planning on doing one soon!
thx @@OrthoEvalPal
That was scary. How ling should one wait for it to come down naturally before seeign a dco?
I have spondylosis from l1 to s1. S1 has extra problem of impingement. I have low back pain, pain down the inside leg, right down to the instep. It gets bad, and painkillers help a little. Physio has not helped. My feet sometimes go numb, and they really annoy me.
I am 28 i have burning sensation in both legs from thighs to feet and in hand also i checked my diabetes is normal and sometimes i got tingling sensation in my feets from 3 years i am suffering to this please some one help me out and i checked MRI scan with the results as loss of lumbar lordosis and can someone please help me i cant wear pant and shoes😢
Does lower back pain in my case spinal stenosis does that affect ones balance?
ok.. this is awesome.. I've been seeing a chiro for about 9 months now with this so called pinched nerve.......it helps for a short time. I'm a hot mess with my back due to RA and spinal stenosis & just reg. DDD but what gives.. THIS IS NOT going away & I have things to do. I want to get back out there and walk. I"m 67 and I have grandkids and want to be active.. So your video gives us an idea as to identifying a pinched nerve.. NOW how the heck do I get rid of it.. What do you recommend! I can't stand this sedentary life. I have to give up life with my retired girlfriends........
How might be the causes of chronic lower back soreness coupled with burning sensation on the back over two years?thanks
I had a lot of these symptoms especially tingly ish foot for six months I am a weightlifter and was loading my spine heavy it felt like I had fallen asleep on my foot but all the time I had developed a really bad case of plantar fictitious idk if that’s how u spell it a lot of the pain has remained in my heel and arch and ankle pain when running for more than 5ish minutes any help??? Or ideas I have been trying to treat conservatively
Can a chiropractor help. I'm dealing with an extreme case of this. Excruciating pain and numbness in my left leg and back. Can't sleep on my left side and back. Has to sleep on my left side and even that's not helping. PLEASE HELP ME
Yes, you need to see a chiropractor not a physiotherapist
Having the exact same pain you described after heavy lifting. Going on day 5 and not being able to sleep. How long did you deal with this and what measures did you take?
What could be pain on left side of back under ribs?
I have lifting experience last year my coaches tried to put me in a competition, and I felt something in a heavy lift, very little, the problem is that next sessions talking with them I felt that it was downgraded and continued normally when I felt a pain strong, they are still my friend but immediately left the gym as health was my primordial objective, got calmed down and never feel it, just sometimes and makes a little reflection to.a.testicle pain, I still need treatment. ¿ Sadly I'm in Mexico this type of videos are life savers a little advice ?.
@@danielmoreno2969 don’t give up on lifting if it’s something small u probably have tight muscles that rest on nerves or just weak points in your kenntic chains I would number one stretch and roll your legs especially your hips and work on your core strength and glute strength with things like banded fire hydrants and side steps and planks front planks and side planks to work the obliques your back is just over working since your other muscles are not firing so I would stretch and lose in the hips and work on functional core strength and stretching but specific stretching that target ur tight areas one blanket stretch is the one legged leaning lunge hope this helps brother heavy lifting means all small muscles need to work together don’t forget to strength and stretch your calves and ankles as well! And never quit! Just adapt you got this!
Wonderful presentation. Too bad about the volume.
I have low back pain I did demolition at work and I can’t stand or I can’t even crawl

This is what i have since Nov. I cant walk that long..numb toes, pain butt ,calf, thight behind knee to the T
I have the same. Toes, feet, butt etc… doctor said L5/S1 spondilolisthesis. How are you now?
@@ekitt7629 i have severe nerve impingement. 4 herniated discs. They did a stand up mri of my lumbar spine. Thank you for asking. I will be seeing a Neuro surgeon Sept 7th i think. There is one stretching exercise that seems to relieve the pain Thank God. I hope your feeling well. Also big toe and toe next to it are numb still and can't lift that foot up
Yeah how are you now I could use advice, I’m a year of pain every day hard to walk numb thighs sharp shooting pain, I try everything from yoga, chrio, Ice heat, taking walks,new bed, less work driving (so less sitting) pills, thc, I’m so lost in what to do besides surgery 😢
@@BrentTerrell-e8h hey there , have you had a mri? If not do the mri of the lumber spine. The areas you have pain are from nerves. Let me know. I can even explain a very simple stretch that will take the pain away. I need to know about the MRI, which leg,hip,calf,numb first 2 toes etc.
@@BrentTerrell-e8h there is one stretch i can show you or explain to you that should help right away. Let me know the symptoms you are having at this moment in time ok
Can fascia pinch nerves in the lower back or elsewhere down the nerve paths?
Yes - superficial ones
@@mengemulu99 superficial nerves?
I was in a car wreck 2wks ago and I have a chronic condition and was doing great until the wreck. I have nerve pain down my legs, left arm and left jaw and some in right arm and face, neck. I cannot get a mri until PT is complete. I've been in pain and feel nerve basically all over my body. Idk... what this is?
For about five years I've had random numbness down my buttocks and both legs. It used to happen seldomly but now its happening 4 or five times a day. In between this numbness I'm fine.
Could be a sign of other health problems like diabetes
I don't have a pinch nerve in my lower back. My lower back hurt down to my butt to the point where I can walk very far.
I have numbness in the iner thigh and sometimes in the groin and rarely after sitting for long periods of time my lower back and down to my buttocks also to my legs i have tingling and some numbness
This happened over night on my right hip & tail bone, there's a swelling, soreness & a pull I can barely walk& it's burning down both legs today,I actually walked to the store Friday & cooked a bit Thursday, please comment
can this cause pelvic floor issue's. currently suffering levator ani syndrome which is affecting my bladder function
I've had this issue where, I am in no pain at all, but I can't lift my legs without picking them up with my hands, so can't put on shoes when seated, can't wash under either of my feet without picking them up, etc, etc. I was told by docs looking at at MRI that I do have a herniated disk, but they don't see ANY reason as to why I have this issue. Does this make sense to you? If I do have some compress nerves caused by the herniated disk, BUT I am in no pain what so ever, do you think it's something else or the Herniated disk compressing the nerves? If so, is it something that can be fixed?
Hi how are you now? I suffer from the same as you do
@StevenNGFX Really, first person I've ever "met" or spoken too... I've been okay, able to walk, just gotta make sure I don't fall, or put myself in a situation... If so I'll be done... But I am walking okay, just legs feel heavy. If I ever fix that issue I'll feel like superman! Next year will dedicate a lot of time to finding a solution... So same exact issue huh?? How long? Were you told anything by docs as to the cause?
I get an intermittent dull throbbing down along Tibialis anterior. No numbness, tingling or weakness anywhere. My orthopedic thinks it’s sciatica and says the pain sensation can jump (ie: I have no pain in low back or upper leg. Is this possible and is there a self test? Could it be referred from a trigger point? I’ve had sciatica in the other leg in the past and this feels nothing like it. I do train and lift at the gym, so I’m sure it’s related to that activity. It began acutely about 9 weeks ago. Also, at that time felt like I strained a lot of muscles my whole leg. Never experienced this before.
I have numbness/pain at the back of my toes and padded part of foot near the toes. It can be hard to walk. No leg pain. Lower back pain and abnormal emg test. I wonder if it is pinched nerves or Morton's neuroma?
It's aching on both sides & I can barely walk,a pinch is on my right side & that's really never happened before I can barely lift my right leg & my bad side is the left, someone please comment what to do on this video
Yeah I could only walk on my pinky toe side!!! It's been that way for months! It's gotten worse the lastv10 days
I have the numbness and I had an mri and they said I had bilateral neuropathy from a pinched nerve
Now are you ok??
If interested in commenting, I have very cold and numb like feeling in feet and legs from auto accident in March. Struggling to find cause and have EMG test today. Dr thinks I may have slightly crushed L4 or L5. We'll see.
I’ve got muscle weakness in the legs, is this trapped nerve? I also have pain in lower back and in the middle back, it feels very bruised and sore. I don’t know if this is causing it but doctors just wants me to wait it out, I’m really worried though, can anyone advise me? All my blood tests are normal.
There's a small knot like it's fractured or sprained in my back
Could cold feets on sitting position be a synthom? I am struggling since a year (this is affecting my life already ) to know what’s the root cause several doctors had me checked and nothing 🥴 I’m getting myself to the conclusion is a pinched nerve in the back.. thanks for the good video
What did they say? I'm having a pain on the top of my abdomin like sitting right on top of my belly dead center of my chest. Doctors say it's acid reflex but I've had that before and it's never felt like this. Burning sensation in the area, my finger tips start getting cold. The docs have done blood work, xray, CT scan and can't find anything. I just found out today when I lean really hard against the sharp edge of a wall against my back the pain starts to fade away
@@Kratos510eDid they check for gallbladder issues, by chance?
29 and i cant even lift my leg and i barely made it to the doctors without dying
i have been in severe pain for a week now, suspect caused by me slouching in my chair when using a pc for hours, had a lot of paracetamol, some alcohol, heated up been bag thing in microwave, tried gels this pain is so bad, cant sit up, it hurts to lie in bed flat its a nightmare
Same, but 3 weeks for me now. I am taking 3 GRAMS of pain medicines daily just for a little bit of mobility.
What can I do to help me be okay
I would start with a physical therapist to help guide you. Every situation is different.
Could a pinched nerve cause a burning sensation in the sole of both feet at once?
Is it normal that I feel the pain in both legs? I feel it more in my left leg but I also feel it in mine right leg
You can but very unlikely that you would pinch a nerve on both sides at the same level
weird because my doctor told me i have a pinched nerv

Its in my very low back and I tried popping my back and doing stretches but nothing works. I thought everyone’s back did this but no they don’t.

Ncv shows s1 bilateral radiculopathy. Is it a lumbosacral radiculopathy? Which part of my body affected?
So I have pinched nerve since 2 months. I usually have mild back pain, I occasionally get tingling in my foot and my left toe is completely numb since 2 months. My doctor said with proper rest and gentle walking exercise it will be okay. Is it true?? Does it get better if we take rest ?
Same boat as you bro how are you doing
Have this going on at 22
This is the 3rd week for me. When I inquired about it they said oh it usually only lasts 2 to 6 weeks and if it is still there after that then see the doctor.
The pain gets so bad I literally want to unalive myself or at least just shove a knife into my spine and paralyze myself so I dont feel it anymore.
By the 3rd week the pain is constant now, just in varying severity, but never gone. It feels the best when lying in a bathtub but after spending 3 hours in there my skin gets so dry and uncomfortable!
I dont know what to do without insurance. I doubt an ER will just give me an MRI scan... I've heard there is a long waitlist for MRIs.
How does your back feel now ?
For me the pain went from a 7 to a 2 in a few months but I still have sciatica on the right leg it's annoying
Don't know what state you live in, but have you tried checking for a community health center near you that has an established sliding fee scale. This factors in household size and income usually reflected against the most updated poverty guidelines scale.
I can’t get anyone to do something. Pinched nerve with pain but spasm pain is unbareable in AM. INow back injured too and cannot stand. I fear permanent danage due to lack of medical help. 7 days IN
Is it permanent
Sir, my problem is numbness on both legs and arms, numbness on lower abdomen... My MRI results shows diffuse disc in C5,C6 and protruding disc in L3,L4... I visited Physiotherapy and Chiropractor...
Kindly suggest which doctor will be best for my health
A physiatrist could help direct you in a situation like this.
@OrthoEvalPal thankyou sir 🙏
