I agreed with you, almost 3 months of sciatica pain and almost recover. The first month was like living hell for me, the pain was a whole another level and cant even walk properly without support. I did everything, traditional nerve massage, chrio, acupuncture and excercise. For me it was traditional nerve massage and excercise works out for me. Now im going to add some vitamins consumption to accelerate the healing process.
I had nerve problems for 8 months. I got it from combat sports. Constantly been strangled punched and kicked made me numb and tingling my entire body 😢😢 especially my right side
I am 4 years past 1st surgery. Now it has definitely either re-herniated or another disc poped. In the gym. How? Deadlifts. My physio was saying same as you - do squats, deadlifts etc. And I was. Building up the weights over one year, 5 sessions a week. I am 99kg, was deadlifting 70kg. My physio next to me. “Perfect form”. Pop. Pain. I am super active all my life and today I can’t sit/stand or even lay down without pain. I can’t get 7 hours of sleep as it hurts a lot 🤷🏻♂️ Exercising irritates the nerve and makes it worse. By a lot. Do not listen to anyone telling you to do deadlifts with fcked discs. So don’t listen to this guy as well.
I’m really sorry to hear you’re in pain and re injured. I know how frustrating it can be. I’ve been there. That said I’d be REALLY curious to speak with you in depth about everything that was going on around that time because by the sound of it, the cause might not be as cut-and-dry as you think. The deadlifts may not be entirely to blame. Often time there are other factors, especially when you had a LONG track record of deadlifting pain free and then out of nowhere it pops? The deadlift didn’t change, right? So then how can we blame the deadlift? Perhaps the body wasn’t recovered properly or it was under a great deal of addition stresses and so what would have been an acceptable amount of exercise turned out to be too much due to overtraining or under-recovery. There are a million other factors, and we’d need the full picture to really come to any meaningful conclusions here.
I totally agree! You can try to perfect the movement again without just bodyweight and only max out at your groceries.. to practice overall tension/coordination of the movement.. but hell no to the weights in most cases if you want to go for quality longlivity. So yes.. do not listen to this guy either.. he is still very confused with a lot of things.. infact people should sue him
Thank you very much for your scientifically oriented perspectives on back problems, and the sum up of otherwice difficult availaible articles. I was really surprised to learn that it is not so important what exercices one are doing, but that one actually ARE doing someting!
This is by far the best video on Sciatica nerve pain and I've seen many. Thank you and it is a very helpful video without hype and exaggeration. Very professional, insightful and accurate information.
Before the disc herniation I had a bit of a dropped foot (noticeable only because I hike a lot and I notice I bang the same toe all the time) and some self perceived weakness. Disc herniation hasn’t make those worst. Ive had sciatice pain for 7 months. The last couple of weeks Ive been feeling better. What are your thoughts here?
Excellent breakdown. I have a disc bulge 2mm L4L5. I’m staying active daily but I cannot sit down . Your thoughts on epidural injection to buy me time to heal so that I can so exercise pain free ?
I made my sciatica worse by hanging on a bar with 40kg hanging down from my waist. But the pain didn't last as long as the first time. I took Ibuprofen and it's almost back to where it was before this workout
I’m going into my 3rd month. It’s night and day from day one to current. It’s weird because even with healing I come to new symptoms or different feelings
Great informative video. I’ve gotten sciatica several times over the years but this latest episode was different. It’s started as my right foot became numb and a week later it creeped into my lower back / hip area. The weird thing is the lower back pain is minimal it’s more so dealing with the numb foot. I did get a MRI and I have a herniated disc at L4/L5. I’ve been periodically taking prednisone for a different issue twice a week and every time I took it the numbness would go away, so, I’m assuming there’s a lot of inflammation/ swelling by the nerve?
Been Dealing with Sciatica For 3 years now L5 S1, I had an ablation 2 years ago, now the pain is back, It has always been the sitting or when i wake up it stings the most, I can still run jump be physical, But i dong know why it isn't going away
Everyone thinks there’s some magic exercise out there, but there isn’t. Real rehab is matching the exercise to the individual, given their unique condition, stage of rehab, and goals. If I gave specific exercises, it would just add to the confusion. Rehab is just graded exposure.
I have inflammation pain daily since 9 months after injury. I can sleep properly without pain, but burning sensation everytime. I think it's nerve damage. I want to stay active again😢
That sounds really frustrating, 9 months is a long time to deal with that! Be sure to watch the masterclass, it will completely change the way you think about rehab! www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
Unfortunately I hear this a lot. That said, with a solid rehab plan we've been able to help a ton of people significantly improve their symptoms and function even after a failed surgery.
Hello, I have a question regarding core engagement. I just recently had a microdiscectomy (5 days ago). And I had previously learnt how to engage my transverse abdominals correctly. My core is at its strongest it’s ever been and have learnt how to engage pretty much all the muscles around my torso (obliques, rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques). I wanted to know how much I should be engaging my core at this time and if there is any danger in engagement at all? I was worried I would put too much compression on my lower back by too much engagement. . Or is it good that I am engaged, I’ve heard it supports your back like a internal corset. Could you advise please?
So I got mri and it didn't show much. So now the dr is saying myofascial back pain . It's been 2 months and I have centralization but man it kills. Any ideas? All mri shows is sacralized l5 narrowing of l5s1 hypoplastic disc. Such lower back pain. It was down my leg but now it's just lower back. Will this heal ever?
Thanks for this great video, which enlightens me to do more exercise while having low back pain. Nordic curl is a good exercise to strenthen the knees and hamstring. But would nordic curl make sciatica worse or better?
I found that i can swim laps without pain. I can also do the horse stance and sit in a deep squat without pain. Slight bending of the back aggravates the nerve yet swimming does not.
This depends on how far along a person is in their rehab. The goal should be to slowly work towards being able to squat and deadlift again in a way that doesn't severely aggravate the nerve. Trust me there are ways to make this happen and regain a person's strength without much pain.
I was in pain for 4 years. Had a laminectomy 3 months ago. Still having numbness in 3 toes and sole of left foot, also perineum. Bladder and bowel issues are also still present. Not sure if the nerves will ever heal. Please advise.
That's a tough situation that requires 1-on-1 consultation. Make sure your local doctor has done a thorough history and exam, and that you've followed up with the surgeon on progress. I can't offer advice on something like this in this setting.
You don’t understand the practices that you’re discussing. McKensey is not just back flexing and McGill doesn’t suggest you should never move your back. They are both subject matter experts with extremely helpful ways to improve bad back situations.
I’ve studied both methodologies extensively. In both cases when we look at the peer reviewed research they don’t hold up. Also, you’re calling me out but don’t even spell McKenzie correctly? I’ve read their books, interned under certified doctors, and even personally interviewed Dr. McGill. If you disagree with something I said, please form an argument.
Canal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal and should be discussed with your doctor to rule out cauda equina which is one of the only super important red flags we all need to watch out for in back pain and sciatica. This is super rare, but again this is a conversation for you and your local doctor first, to get the green light for exercise. As long as people are cleared for a natural approach, there's a lot we can do, and I outline it all in the masterclass in the description of my videos.
This video provided the most thorough and useful information. so glad I found this video after endless searches on sciatica
Glad you enjoyed it!

i have scatica about 2 -3 months iam pushing to do every thing i did before i take meds some days some not !!
Good luck
12 years of sciatic pain down to the left foot.
Before the disc herniation I had a bit of a dropped foot (noticeable only because I hike a lot and I notice I bang the same toe all the time) and some self perceived weakness. Disc herniation hasn’t make those worst.
Ive had sciatice pain for 7 months. The last couple of weeks Ive been feeling better.

How do you move your body when you cant walk?
You mentioned stretching the body , and not to be hard or easy , what do you think about doing squats on a machine in gym no weights?
Sir i have a non specific low back pain
Is walking a good thing to do for leg and foot numbness?
I made my sciatica worse by hanging on a bar with 40kg hanging down from my waist. But the pain didn't last as long as the first time. I took Ibuprofen and it's almost back to where it was before this workout
Experimenting with rehab sometimes flares up symptoms, but it’s usually temporary. Glad you’re feeling better
I’m going into my 3rd month. It’s night and day from day one to current. It’s weird because even with healing I come to new symptoms or different feelings

Non specific means the Doctor can’t admit they don’t know where your pain is coming from. You need a better doc but they’re hard to find
Biking?
I can't sleep because pain is so bad

Does a tens unit help?
This research showed that electrical stimulation can help in cases of severe nerve damage, but that if possible, real exercise is better.

I found clean and jerks to be amazing since its full body and cardio. I cant run let alone walk very long so its perfect.
Gimnastica de labe...
Deadlifts or sqats are a big no no when dealing with sciatica. Forget about them for some time in order to fully heal.
This depends on how far along a person is in their rehab. The goal should be to slowly work towards being able to squat and deadlift again in a way that doesn't severely aggravate the nerve. Trust me there are ways to make this happen and regain a person's strength without much pain.
