My back issues developed over my 73 years , including 35 years of cycling , hang gliding , running and mountain biking (and NOT DOING GOOD BACK EXCERCISES , while also doing some of the bad exercises people say are good for you) .

Physical therapist says they can’t help me, rheumatologist says there are too many problems in my back to do anything about it without doing more damage than good. Now my doctor has send me for a second opinion in the hospital for possible spinal operation. The thought of an operation scares me tremendously! Your video gives me new hope and I have a question for you before I proceed with your recommendations. The exercises you describe in the video, are they all okay if you, in addition to lumbar spinal stenosis, also have other problems, like disc hernies and more? And would the 28 days program also be safe for me? Kind regards Vicky

This information can definitely apply to someone who has sciatica-like symptoms. Your sciatic nerve is composed of multiple spinal nerve roots. If the spinal nerve roots in the low back are pinched, it would feel very similar to sciatica. That is why we want to treat the low back and the hips. So, this may be able to help!

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I did. He gave me muscle relaxers and pain pills. I went on vacation so that’s why I said I have to get an x-ray and an MRI. There wasn’t anything I could do before we left because by the time I figured out it wasn’t going away. It was too late. Thank you for responding.

I can't resolve my big belly even after colon surgery.

A low carb way of eating will normally reduce a big belly. It takes awhile to get accustomed to but there are many you tube videos to show you the way. No sugar (beer and cookies), starches (bread and potatoes), or high sugar fruits (grapes and bananas).
