1. if you have a period in the day to feel no pain
2. generally worse with sitting and getting up from sitting (bending down worse, stretching up gets better > good sign)
3. if it is worse while bending forward doing something
4. worst in the morning but improves in about half an hour cause of disc imbibing with fluids during the night
5. worsens with inactivity, gets better with movement like walking
6. if pain stops above the knee
7. if generally you are better when laying on the stomach and on the elbows
If you have at least 4 of them its a good sign you can heal your own sciatica
Thanks for the check list.
Thank you
Pain don’t stop above the knee… in calves
@@kobiecamp1134 thanks buddy
Any updates anyone?
I pray to almighty that all of us will heal completely❤
I have 5 1/2 out of 7 I’d say...it’s the worst in the morning but it takes way longer than 30 min to fee better, more like 3 hours.
Thanks alot Docs.
What do you suggest for muscle spasms in the lower area of each side of the spine?
I have all those signs, thank god
So glad to hear that!
Any update on how you are doing now?
I have none of the good signs and am 10 years in. It's getting worse but these videos may help.
Amazing video Bob and Brad! I had a MRI done and it showed that I have a L5-S1 herniated DISC. The orthopedic that I am seen recommended a cortisone shot. However, I present all the 7 signs of self recovery that mention in this video. Can you please let me know your opinion on whether I should take this shot? Thanks
How are you now!
Hey I have the same thing as u did u get a recovery
I have two disc bulges and have all 7. Thanks for giving me hope! 😂😁 However it’s been almost a year from my injury and I have pain... how long can this last??
How do you do
How are you now?
Have u healed
Do we see a Neurosurgeon or Orthopedic Surgeon when the spinal pain NEVER goes away? 🤔 A very serious question because people take there own lives due to spinal and backpain that hurts SO bad that they are now bedbound and in pain!?!
I am 62 and exercised every morning and lost 30lbs. Then I laid on a roller the wrong way and herniated a disc. It was agony for two weeks. Now it has been a month and it IS getting better. Just had an MRI and have a disc extrusion. I felt like many of the commenters. My active life was over and all that that infers. Now it is a month later and I’m able to lay on my stomach when I sleep and can lay on my back with little pain. Hang in there! If an old guy like me can get better and continue my life, then you younger ones can as well. Be patient and listen to your body. Don’t push your limits and be kind to yourself. Chances are good it will get better
This is a 3 month update to my herniated disc issue. I am back to lifting and working out normally! I was careful and stopped all of that activity for a while and now it is fine. I am very careful about lifting with my legs and not my back now, but there have been times I’ve tweaked it and feel it. But even the numbness in my left shin has gone away.
Of course each of us is different, but if someone had said I’d feel this good 3 months later, I would never have believed them. Hang in there and remain hopeful!
Glad youre feeling better!!
Thanks for the pep talk. I'm on day 2 of complete agony and I needed to hear that there's a way out of it. I'll likely be bedridden for my 28th birthday and I'm sitting here thinking that I'll have to quit the sport I love to ever hope to live a relatively pain-free life with all the back issues I've been having.
Thank you. Glad you are back in business! I needed to hear that!
same bro I laid on a foam roller the wrong way and I felt it hit my nerve and it was excruciating pain. Been in agony for 2 weeks. I have an L4 L5 herniated disc.
I’m 19 and I popped 2 discs from a 220kilo deadlift , I really hope this heals as my mental health has taken a huge hit
You should have called the book 'We've got your Back'.
Anyway- thanks for all that you do-
I am dealing with a herniated disc right now. It is located at S4 and S5. It is the worst pain ever. I have been active my entire life and yes it takes a mental toll.
Yes, it sure does. It's awful
best wishes
I’m going through the same thing . Does anyone know what I can do for a disc herination
I’m with you
Did yours resolve?
Bob is literally 60 year old Jeff cavalier
Making use of it finally gets rid of the terrible feeling of sciatica pain and also the stress it gives on my back. Look for bit.ly/2DExRvj to know more about this back pain guide. Using this, one can sleep in different positions. Helps my hip pain and it`s relaxing.?
Hahaha All PT's are the same.
I guess that’s how I got here😂. (Tho no offense to jeff)
Many thanks, I've been looking for "which lumbar disc is related sciatic pain" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Sonictoria Stupefying Smasher - (do a search on google )?
It is a great one off guide for discovering how to stopping your sciatica without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my neighbour got cool results with it.
I’ve been really depressed about my stubborn back injury, as I’m only 28 and have a lot of energy, but can’t do a lot physically anymore. I also have a very physically demanding job that has been just injuring it more, so I’ve been worried about my career. I was starting to think that I’d be stuck with the pain forever, as I roll it, use heat, stretches, exercises...but this video has given me hope again, as I pass them all! I just need to be more assertive on asking for breaks to exercise, I can do this!
Tessicat omg i feel you im 18 and i have two herniated discs. some days i feel like i’m never gonna get better but watching videos like these makes me feel better. the first step in healing is being positive and i thank you for sharing yours. we will get better! :)
Please try walking up steep inclines get your self an inversion table to hang at about 20 degrees learn to massage spasms until they are gone to help relax the back. Good Luck Deep breathing helps try this, lay on floor stretch out breath in for ten hold breath ten using diaphragm and lower stomach muscles force air out for ten, keep this posture and continue repeating for 100 times be amazed using stomach muscles to force air out. It realigns the spine.
I'm 23. I used to workout everyday, weight lifting etc. Now i gotta be careful when i move. So annoying. I feel you.
I used to flip and stuff before work smh...you can't get workers comp?
How have you felt after 11 months??
Damn that intro song was corny but I liked it.
It gets stuck in my head from time to time lol
For four long years I've been dealing with sciatica and I didn't know what it was. Until a few weeks ago. Because, of this I haven't been able to hold a real job. I think God for letting me find these videos!
We are glad you came across our videos:)
I’ve been crying from the pain. Had a severe panic attack right last night. This made me hopeful. Thank you 💖
Was in the same boat last month. It gets better. Stay strong.
Agreed. I was there too feeling much better now.
How are you doing? Did you end up going to therapy?
@@ClarkKasheta I ve had injections and a bit of therapy , but now working on mind-body connection (John Sarno) and trying to influence the way my brain thinks about pain..
@@oe5943when did the injections started helping you?
I’m mid 20s with a herniated disk. I’ve been in extreme pain for about a week, found your videos, your stretches have reduced my pain and given me back mobility. Thank you guys so much. If I keep on it I’ll be back working out in no time!
In my 20’s I had a pretty bad case of sciatica, confirmed by MRI to be caused by a bulging disc. I didn’t have a good handle on how to properly recover and dealt with the pain for a couple of years. I thought it would never go away. The reality is that it healed on its own slowly; one day I realized I had zero pain. Don’t be discouraged! It can get better
@@adamrosner7736 i am 25 and newly married. diagnosed with this 2 day ago. My life ends 😑
@@adamrosner7736 did you notice that you were fully healed after getting another mri screening ? Or do you just feel fully healed ?
@@useraccount1187 I didn’t follow up with an MRI - I considered myself “fully healed” when I had absolutely no pain. It was something that gradually got better. It was also hard (agonizing) to sit down and I would have to arch my back aggressively, but one day I remember sitting down and realizing I had no pain and that perhaps months had gone by without noticing it. This was after 2-3 years of sciatic pain.
I have since been able to pursue flexibility/mobility and have achieved palms on the floor with legs straight, no issues running or jumping or squatting - but I also have been very mindful about living a healthy and active lifestyle as well
@@adamrosner7736 You can bend and touch ground with palms? That's really great to hear. I'm almost 2yr after initial injury. Not yet healed, but I feel that its getting better every month.
Walking does help sciatica but you have to persevere because you may feel stiff to begin with but it gets better.
Not for me. It's the opposite. VERY frustrating. I start off fine and then massive pain.
Yeah walking is the main trigger for me too.
75 years old, suffering the worst pain of my life, fearing I can no longer take care of my home, garden, dogs, and myself -- but this video gives me real hope. Thank you!!!!
How are you now? Has this video helped??
How are u doing now?
❤ you will heal 200%
I would love to know what it's like to be completely pain free. I had back trauma 3 yrs ago. Had to give up exercising all together a yr ago because of the pain. Nothing helps it.
Thn what you do?
This video literally saved my back and leg. God bless you guys. I started doing that floor stretch up stomache down, and instantly my leg started feeling relieved. Like you guys said, "it's like a miracle." On the first stretch it took so much pain in my leg away. I'm excited to see what happens when I continue doing this everyday. I'm so grateful for your videos! Keep up the good work. You are helping so many!
How is it now? Are you feel better?
Why is it when the pain moves up that that is indicative of healing? I've heard you all say this mayn times, but just wondering why?
You two are a blessing. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to post these.
Thank you for the kind words!
They are awesome! But don't worry, they make money off of it through ads. It's great, because this way, we all win.
@@antjobert why do Americans say "off of" when they should just say "of" it makes no sense 🤷♂️
You guys are great...down for 2 months with sciatica, getting better finally!
Keep the vids coming!😉👍
Are you still doing good?
@@my_universe1290 unfortunately it's back again, both legs now...getting an MRI tomorrow, hoping I don't have nerve damage.
Thank You for asking.
@@ricksspringfield45hey how are you feeling?
this comes and goes,,was down a couple weeks ago. better now.@@arielrwc
You guy's are incredible! Thank you for all the information and encouragement!! God bless!!!
Hi there Bob & Brad,
Great videos guys. Between you two & a host of others I have learnt so much. I herniated my L5 S1 at the age of 20. I'm now 30 and have been working on it on & off for the past 7 years (at lot more in the past two years) I had a very bad flare up of sciatica in 2016 going all the way down the left leg into the foot. I have been relatively pain free since then, without ever having surgery. I still have a good range of motion. I still occasionally have pain in the low back and some residual pain in left leg. I just want to ask what your opinions are on the seated pelvic tilt and what would be your advice on how to keep the discs hydrated throughout the day?
Many thanks
Norfolk Enchance
What did you do to recover or get better
These guys are amazing. I went from excruciating pain and numbness to some pain and numbness slowly residing. Just from that one exercise laying on stomach and pelvis down pushing arms up . Amazing
Do u still have numbness?
1) Periodic lapse in pain. 1:23
2) Generally worse with sitting and getting up from sitting. 1:55
3) Worse after prolonged bending or stooping. 2:35
4) Worse in morning, but improves after 30 minute or so. 3:11
5) Worse when inactive. 4:31
6) Pain confined to above the knee. 4:55
7) Better when lying on the stomach. 5:17
Thanks
Exactly what I came to the comments to find, thanks friend
Thanks
Thank you
Thanks a lot
I have going to a local PT for sciatic nerve pain. Some of the home exercises they suggested for me to do came from that book. It has helped tremendously in the 5 to 6 weeks I have had a huge improvement.
Ive been doing Frog Pose and it has greatly helped relieve the pain and I'm waking up without much pain lately.....takes a long time to fully heal.
Have you completely healed?
@@johnnyrodriguez276 no, unfortunealty not yet.....had a set back 6 months ago where i hurt it again. I've since found doing clam shells with bands around my knees helps strengthen and doing runners stretch. Slowly getting better. Ive also done 6 treatments of dry needling. Hurts, but works amazingly!
Hey I'm on month 5 with pain. Yesterday I got a mri and found out I have a slight left disc protrusion on my l5 how did u make your pain go away and how long for recovery
I had a herniated disc before in 2014.. Its back again. It took 3 months to go away on its own the last time. I hope it goes away on its own again this time. Its been 30 days already.
how are you feeling now plz reply
@@cellkingsouthafrica3765
I feel great now. I had a 3 level laminectomy(s). On April 6th of this year. The surgery went great. 6 weeks after surgery I was ready to return to work. I was advised not to bend, twist, or lift. I didnt do anything like thst after surgery but I was bending down to pick up things thst I would drop like pens, papers, or meds. Eventually my back started to ache/hurt a good deal. I honestly thought I had messed up my back again. So I stopped bending and stayed in bed on my days off. The pain went away after about 2 weeks. Now I feel great and pain free. Mu neurosurgeon did a great job. I just need to be careful with my back. I think if it messes up again I probably need to have my vertebrae fused. If there isnt enough disk left. But I did learn that there are artificial discs that are being used now to fix/replace the real ones. I don't know how long those have been around but its good to know if they are an option.
What would it mean if my L5S1 herniated disk was causing excruciating pain for 5 months but now the pain has recieded but now I have numbness is it getting better or worse it's certainly nice to not have to deal with the pain but obviously something still going on rite?
I've been watching your videos since the beginning of the year when my back started to hurt. 1st diagnostic was dégénérative discs of L4-L5 & L5-S1. After being pain free during the first 2 weeks of march this yr, back hurt again and this time the pain goes down from the buttocks till my legs & knee. Turns out I have herniated disk & a possibility of sciatica. Your videos been so helpful with your infos, advices & some exercices we can do. I still have to see my neuro surgeon in May but hope to be better by then. Thanks again for these very useful videos guys! 👍🏻
How have you been doing?
How are you now?
I’m a police officer that has been dealing with a diagnosed (MRI) herniated disc’s between L4 and L5. I’ve had numbness, tingly right leg and pain that comes in waves. I’ve tried some stretches, chiropractic care, massage care but haven’t had relief. I’m at month 7 since the onset of symptoms. I feel like surgery is my only option at this time as I haven’t seen improvement and I am in a profession (ballistic vest and duty gear) that is not allowing me to heal. Am I missing something?? 🇺🇸
I hope you are good now. Any updates you want to share with us
What about numbness and tingling in the bottom of the foot along with weak calf muscle with pain in the calf?
I have pain, numbness, tingling, cramps. Had cortisone, rizotomies, physio, chiro, remedial massage. I'm so, so tired of it. I do yoga, walk 7kms a day, meditate...10 years now.
Thank you for posting. I appreciate this video and find it very helpful.
Found out I have a large disc protrusion with narrowing spine and thought I was facing surgery. Surgeon said my body is healing itself! Thank God. This video helped convince me too, so many yes’s!
Did it heal itself eventually?
I'm 30. Been dealing with this half of my life. This video is helping me realize I have a serious problem. I failed all of these. Lovely.
You're 30. I am too. You're young enough to where your body can repair and heal itself, don't give up, I've been trying yoga and stretches I find on here for a few days now and can feel a big difference. I refuse to give up cause I'm so stubborn and I definitely don't wanna be an old man riding a wheelchair to get around. Don't give up.
Me too im suffering so hard.
be positive start small and be consistent
i do not have pain in the morning but during the course of the day i get it especially when i am sitting
thank you gentlemen , love the comical relief and the informative episodes you guys provide. again thank you and keep up the amazing work that you gentlemen provide . i salute you.
If you have L5 S1 disc bulging &L4 stenosis would you recommend decompression with a chiropractor?
Actually herniated my disc pouring concrete lol
Thank God I got all the 7 yesses. I'm 19 years old and got an herniated disc from weighted pistol squats. Looking back at the stupid 17 year old me, it's easy to say what I should and should not have done, but I just wanted to look cool doing 30+ kg pistol squats without the bare minimum ankle mobility (had to do them with heel supports) and even less hamstring mobility (I couldn't keep the opposite leg straight).
I'll start to read this book today, 23/12/2021, and do the exercises, while I update how my back feels.
Sir is it true that people who have lost muscles have to bear the pain of compression of nerve even after the slip disk has repaired on getting jerk on disk?
My back doesn't hurt at all, it's my hip, groin, side of thigh, and shin.
I did what they said and it relieved my pain like for a long time .. I did it again I have had no more pain
Volume control all the way up. Still hard to hear.
Press 'x' to doubt
First off, Great videos and great content! With these videos and some intense PT, I've been getting a lot better with my own herniated disc, but I do have a quick question. I saw on another video you talked about sleeping positions, but i wasn't aware about what makes the disc hurt more in the morning as compared to later in the day. Is there any way to alleviate that pain or lessen it? My current solution is to get up and get ready for the day and then spend roughly 30 minutes laying on my chest with a pillow under my chest (kind of like a prone pressed position) which helps loosen me up a lot. Thanks guys!
I walk for a long time it feel better but when the walk is over that's when pain kick in unless I take medicine maybe
I can't walk without pain, can't go to shopping mall. Always looking for a bench! Get home to a heating pad and or ice pack to numb the pain. Decades of pain. I'm so tired. Surgery is not an option for me.
Pain most of the time going down one side of my leg
same having wid me, very painful n now starts the numbness in foot
Happy that I have all 7 good signs , Wish you all . we can overcome this pain 👍 ur videos so amazing for sciatica. Decompression by hanging from bar or doing shoulder dips helps a lot
Im the same, all 7 signs. How are you progressing with healing?
airchairairflare I have all 7 signs, it’s been 3 days since initial pain, still quite tender in the morning and certain positions, stopped exercising, how are you
@@kieranbutler3323 I've noticed great improvement this week. Last 3 days I've walked more than 30 km ( 10 km each day ) almost without any discomfort. Sciatica is still present, but its minor, and after long walks or after prolonged sitting, and it dissapieres after lying on stomach.
I try to walk 15 - 30 minutes a few times a day, then do some decompression with chair or with pull up bar, do 15 McKenzies and lie down on stomach. Rinse and repeat every 1.5 - 2 hours.
I sleep on my stomach as well. Hopefully my back will heal in a few weeks, so that I don't wreck neck sleeping like this.
airchairairflare great to hear, when did you first feel pain?
I was lifting in the gym and woke up with pain!
What triggered your pain!
Do you do any gym work
@@kieranbutler3323 This is how it happened for me as well. Too much deadlifts, and then in the middle of the night sorness turned to pain. Tried to stretch ql, hip flexors, gluteus, releases with ball...etc,initially for 2-3 weeks and it only aggravated it.
After that stopped all stretching and focused on lying on stomach as much as possible, which decreased sciatica symptoms. After hour or so I stoud up and walked around in order to flush junk stuff in my lower back. Also avoided sitting as much as possible, and doing hip hindge instead of bending. It looks like it works.
Keep in mind, I was able to do pull ups from day 1, but bending, standing, even lying down on my back hurted( and it still does ).
I think this is 4th or 5th week since I changed rehab program, and Its so far with promising results.
Edit: I don't do any gym work currently. Only controlled pull ups, and push ups once a week. I've read that combination of lying down ( for me on stomach ), standing and walking will heal you.
I didn't clearly "get" what the seven signs were from this video. For example, is the "worse in the morning" thing a sign it CAN possibly heal or that it can't???
After trying to lift a large large rock into a wagon when I was 19 I pushed as far as I could and felt a pop or tear and could not bear the pain I knew I did something bad… until I was 32 just 9 months ago I was in agony in that spot I tore or popped and it was getting worse and worse. I was utterly disappointed about my back situation I thought I was destined for pain forever. some wonderful woman pushed that spot over with her thumb with good pressure she pushed over the spot away from my spine really pushed it over and it felt really good really helped me for about 2 months but but it wasn’t enough one jump from about 3 feet and the pain was back and this time even worse! something was on my nerve or something but I saw some light at the end of the tunnel I tried it myself I pushed with my thumb over to the left that spot that hurts me so bad in my lower back where I felt that pop or tear from lifting. I pressed and I pushed and I pushed it over with my thumb until my back was swollen and there was a big lump there I thought I had really screwed myself I was in real pain I had to do something anything… then I found a metal 3 inch diameter pipe about waist high and I laid my back using my whole body weight on that spot with some force I did that a few times the last time I took a few steps back and got a run at it flipped around and hit that spot dead on! I felt band heard a few large pops and got up… for the whole night that spot was pulsating and felt strange with a little pain. But the next day I did not feel that familiar feeling stabbing feeling at all! I swear to God on my life since then I’ve been pain-free not one problem and that’s been 9 months ago and I had pain since I was 19 thank the Lord I’m pain-free now whatever I did whatever I did I popped something back in or off of my nerve. The excruciating stabbing pain to where I could not even get up off a chair without sliding off of it sometimes or if I jumped out of a vehicle from even a couple feet sometimes it would hit that nerve that spot and I would literally have to lay on the ground for 20 minutes. But thank God somehow I’m pain-free I saved my back by crushing that spot. I got lucky I’ll take it easy on my back now please take it easy on yours
These two guys have made such a huge difference to me. After checking out several of their videos and exercises I am getting so much better..!
This was really insightful! I have been recovering from back pain and decided I needed to rehydrate as I wasn't drinking nearly enough water. I noticed day 1 I started feeling worse. The information about the spine losing and then reabsorbing at night makes sense.
How have you been recovering like what have you been doing to heal
I watched several of your videos and found out I had sciatica. I had previously gotten some shots of hyaluronic acid in my knees but it didn't help at all. The first video of Bob and Brad's I saw said to put a bolster pillow behind your back when you are sitting. I actually sit quite a bit during the day because I'm at my computer. After months of dealing with this extreme pain up and down my leg and especially on the upper part, my pain was virtually gone within 48 hours! No more taking Advil and ibuprofen all day long! I'll try this new exercise and I know I will feel 100% in no time at all! Thanks, Bob and Brad!
You guys have saved me so much pain, and have helped me get rid of 2 herniated discs. much. I can't express how greatful I am to your channel. Really guys, your videos have pretty much saved me.
How did you recover? Thanks for answering. Hope youve been well😁
How did u recover please help
Which one is Bob? Brad? Can I just call them Brab? Bod?
Strongly agree with this video-- I had some very intense sciatica this past fall, and #s 2,3,4,6,7 were all true for me. It took a bit more than two months, but I was able to recover almost 100%. Now I just have very occasional light pain. I don't think I could have done it without seeing a physical therapist in person, but your videos were very helpful also. Back pain can be so debilitating and I am thankful every day that I was able to recover from mine.
Thank you, thank you, thank you , Bob and Brad, for these videos. They’ve been soooo helpful, especially since I’m unable to afford $40 copay for PT. You guys rock!🙏👍❣️
I have all the opposite signs
I have pain all the time, no pain while sitting but while standing
less pain in the morning and worsen afterwards
it's good while inactive and gets worse with motion
pain is below the knee in the side of the calfs
Ankur Sharma Hey. I have the same exact pain as you, how are you doing??? Are you better now? If so what helped????

Thanks for this video, it's very timely for me. I'm 8 weeks into my recovery from 2 herniated discs and I feel reassured.
Queenie x I've been taking regular pain relief, and seeing my own physio once a week. Lately I've been performing some of the advanced exercises suggested by both Brad, Bob and my own physio to treat my resistant leg symptoms.
Have your discs completely healed now? Any tips? Going through the same. Thanks!
Progress?
@@ech07as how’s yours
I’ve done kickboxing since I was 9 I’m now 14. I’ve been out of training and any physical activity for almost a year. I was diagnosed with herniated disc L3 and L4.I have regular physical therapy. I’m trying to stay positive but it shouldn’t be taking this long
I’m going through the same thing rn man, hang in there !
Is it OK to use ice on my back if I have disc problem
5 out of the 7 here. Currently suffering with a bad back which I believe to be a herniated disc as I was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs 5 years ago plus my body is leaning towards the left. I have been laid up resting for the last 4 days with little improvement and just found your videos and currently trying out some of your exercises. Hopefully I can fix myself this time through exercise and avoid another lengthy lay off from work. Keep up the good work.
@Nick Giarratano Much better thanks. Thankfully these exercises have helped loads and it looks like I am on the mend.
Hi how are you now ?
I am in same situation 😪
u guys saved my life have pain for like 3 years not sure what to do couldn't walk its really bad.
My pain is not severe.it has been 6 months.
Sometime it is associated with pain in knee bone.
Same are u healed now
@@ipad007 better now..I give up some heavy works that involve repeated jumping like football or fast running.. I maintain posture while sitting and standing.. I keep my weight optimum.. I m fit.. My back is normal(95%).. No more knee or toe pain..
The pain will come if u indulge in heavy work out like jumping.. Or bending
So, my only advice is do not go for surgery or steroid injection.. They may even worsen or kill u..
Just change lifestyle.. Loss ur weight, strengthen ur belly.. Do mild exercise that does not worsen ur pain..
Hello. Thank you for your videos. I have had a herniated disc 4 years ago now it has happened again. I work in a nursery school so i am always bending down. So i think this is the cause. I have been out of work for 5 months and in a lot of pain. I can't sit for very long. I go to physio and this really helps me. (If you get a good physio). They correct posture and get you to stretch. They push you to your limit. But it helps. Love your videos as they are helping me aswell. Thanks for the advice on the book. I have a l5/s1 herniation. Which left me unable to walk or go to the toilet. Its a very slow recovery but hopefully i will be pain free again. Thanks again for your videos.
Hi kathy, have u recovered or still going through the same pain,I have l5 s1 so just trying to gain your experience
I have the exact same thing. Did u recover if so how long did it take
Never bored! you guys are the best!
After watching your video, I tried hanging from a bar and then stretching my back from a position on my stomach. I also tried your nerve floss. I don't seem to have any more sciatic pain. Maybe it's temporary, but maybe not. I thank you so much!
Nerve floss? What's that? Can you hang upside down and NOT hurt?
Was it temporary??

but why does it keep coming back? i get the pain for 3-5 days and then it goes a way for 6 months to a year and then it comes back.
Same
@@tc2gone use LS belt and check for correct sleeping position according to your habits and body type along with these McKenzie excercise. After you are healed strengthen lower back and abdominal muscles (yoga / pilates) try using belts when you work out even if you are healed.
Thank you for all you are doing! I am glad to discover you Chanel when I am just starting to have little problems there and there.
I have a bulging disc and the pain comes and goes. In fact I had fixed it for a few months with some physical therapy but it came back the past 4 days. My normal exercises won’t work and my back almost went out on me last night...
how is it now
Two months ago I lifted lawn mower out of back of truck - - my back froze. I drove home, but so uncomfortably. As the weeks went by nerve which was being compressed by L4 herniation was so painful - - beyond what I wanted to deal with. What helped? Medication (oxycodin type pills), but also a TENS machine (cheap on Amazon, easy to use). It did not seem to help, but only agitate the area at first, but as I continued to use it the sensations began to dissipate. Now I'm 99% pain free and am walking and working again.
Did you have herniated disk?
Why did you ask that? I forgot I made this comment. But isn't the video about herniated discs, and I said that in my write up. Why did you ask that after having read and presumably watched the video?
How are you feeling now?
@@Vengeance0117 Hi. Numerous injuries...Back is stiffer, I think herniating my disc has caused loss of flexibility, unfortunately. Strength is back though.
@@LuvNWutIDoin are you in pain? Can you sit and sleep comfortably?
Am I right in thinking that lying on your stomach is a really bad idea if you also have spinal stenosis?
I feel very worse in the morning as if a big stone is put on my waist and find it difficult to get up but I take a walk in my room and the pain is relieved. Can I put a warm press on it?
Yes I was the same a hot water bottle helped me
My back pain is getting better but the numbness of my both feet are numb and burning 24 hours a day. is there a chance i will heal?
What did you do for your back pack to get better
just them explaining the fluid in the discs ... at the beginning... answered so many things for me.
7/7. I'm good to go :D
Any update? How are you doing now?
Yay! I'm 7 out of 7. This video is very encouraging! Thanks Bob & Brad!
How are you doing now?
Thank you! This video gives me hope! I have been nervous and anxious about my situation for a while. I am 22 years old and have herniation at L4and5, I even considered surgery lol. But this gives me hope and I feel a lot better now.
Hey how are u now?
how are ya
@@savageriddle4126 thx, no symptoms now, feeling a lot better.
@@maude6048 thx for asking, almost no symptoms now
@@deadpoolchinese6570 what did you do to recover? What are things you did and can recommend to do to heal
the sign 2 and 3 were confusing. they sound like the exact same.
also, is it good if i feel worse after prolonged bending ? because i do feel worse. did i pass that sign or what ?
i think i just need to stop sitting, its my addiction after work.
I strongly recommend hanging on a pull up bar where your feet can still touch the ground to decompress the spine before extending up from your stomach. Great content as always. You don’t have to beg for my like 😃
Today is Thursday(7-7-22), and I started hanging from my pull up bar on Tuesday(7-5-22) all the way to where my knees almost touch the ground, and my feet drag on the ground. But anyway it does help in releasing that tension.
@@kobiecamp1134 can you tell us please if it does help?
Hi, u guys are amazing... Had a question... I would love to walk, is it a fine walk while having pain?
Thank you so much for these videos!!! Tfs! To everyone reading this, Jesus loves you!
I'm tired of taking 300mg of pregabalin and 100mg of tramadol everyday for back pain relief.
You guys are great but why can't you answer a question once in awhile? Please don't say you're too busy and can't answer them all. I realize that! Don't you have someone in your office who could read the comments? That would be so helpful!!
I have to agree with your slogan, you guys are the best!
Have had trouble with sciatica since I was 14. Now 33 and not being as active ( driving 3+h a day ) is killing me. I don’t care who thinks I look stupid swinging my legs outside my ute in between site visits. Great job guys!
Edit, can you get someone to level the 2 cupboard doors to the left. HAHA!
What do you mean here exactly when you say "heal"? Do you mean only alleviating pain or alleviating pain AND helping to repair the disc herniation to the point where the disc is back inside the vertebrae?
I herniated my disc back in OCT 2021, rarely do I have back pain. But occasionally depending on position it can get aggravated… however almost daily, I have sciatica isolated to outside of ankle/lower calf. Worsens with pro longed standing or walking. However other postures seated or laying relieves it.
I guess I have spinal stenosis, cuz in the morning I TRY to get out of bed it's like a pain level 10 plus lower back and both legs... The only thing that's releives the pain is walking. Thank guys 😊 great job.
Had a real progress not without inspiration from this channel.
Then made a bad move and I’m back to square one, but with confidence this time🤙😎
In one video you said to try putting a bolster pillow behind your back when you sit. I've been doing that for a couple days and I actually feel activity in my lower back it's not painful it actually feels really good and I know that that's the key to healing. Since I have to sit so much every day, I'm thrilled that this is actively healing my sciatica! Almost pain-free after 72 hours and months of continuous aches and pains in my legs. Better advice than I got from the Orthopedics doctor I went to..
You just described my situation to a "t". I got better with some back strengthening exercises, stretching, and hanging from a pull-up bar (and just doing pull-ups).
Hi thanks for the videos. I had herniated disc and sciatica about 5 months. Now 50% remained. Im a musician, can i play again an electric guitar? Average weight of the guitar is 3 kg. Thank you
You guys have saved my butt so many times. I cant thank you enough for all the information
Would be nice if you had a McKenzie playlist.
If the stretching is causing more intense pain in your buttock , it may not be sciatica. It may be an inflammation or tear in a ligament in your buttock. An MRI should be done to see if it is related to the Gluteus Medius or Piriformis.
I’m only 15 .feel really sad
What happened?
be positive explore stretches
