Gonna start doing these. Had a protrusion in 2012 went away but came back after alot of sitting down at work alot of low back and left hip pain now. gonna try these out. Physical Therapist also recommended not to do any squats or deadlifts for now.

[@nofx1990ue]

Wow, I watched about 10 videos about exercises for herinated discs and not a single one mentioned you shouldn’t do them if they cause more pain. I thought it’s normal that they cause more pain for a short time after the exercises. Maybe now I can finally get better

[@Franciscolney]

[@user-gh6zh6dx7m]

What's the progress? Did your pain lessen?

[@MrMoosey1987]

Thanks for this video, wish I’d seen this much sooner so I could practice the squeeze exercise. I’ve been doing the cobra exercises and another that decompresses the spine apparently and they’ve started to help. Is there any info and advice on lumbar support products for bulging discs? I think I need to a couple things that can give me support for sitting down for long periods of time, and also maybe a brace of sort to help with more labour based activity. When I search online, I just get bombarded by Amazon on loads of different products that I don’t know if they’re right or not.

[@1008maja]

I have discus hernia t7-t8. My doctor claims that in his practice he has not yet encountered an injury at that site. Maybe that’s why I can’t find exercises for that area online at all. Two years ago I had excessive bending backwards, but after that there was a blockage and a time of weak movement so my muscles weakened. Along with my job in kindergarten came DH t7-t8. If I pay attention to my movements, the days pass without pain, but if I forget, there is pain in the back and stomach. In particular, I am interested in exercises to stretch that part of my spine and my bulging disc to help myself from strong pain. Thank you so much, Maja, Croatia.

[@zakichishti5805]

hello doc...i had two disc bulges in march and i have been on a rehab for 60 days i have been doing core exercises too. when can i get back to gym with light weight?

[@stacyming543]

These exercises are great. Thanks. For five years I have the problem. The pain move to my left side to my bottom then my foot. No excuses help. I work hard. I left things, walk four miles and more but when I did those walking and hard work I noticed that I walk and limp and in constant pain. Am a determined Jamaican woman. About a month ago some doctor that did these same exercises. Place me on my side and it feels like a bine slip in. But is actually the same. Your first exercise they told me to do it. Your second and last exercise stae to work right away thank you. I just want to find the time and continue these exercises.,24 of May 2024.❤❤❤the pain make me lean.

[@AdityasTV]

Thank you for the very informative video, Dr. Oliver. Could you also demonstrate how to get up from the ground as painlessly after the first two exercise routines. I was looking for that tip at 7:40 but the video cuts to the next exercise. If one is not inclined to do these on the ground, can they use a flat bed?

[@sarahitangelita]

I usually do it next to my bed so I can get up with the assistance of the bed. The key is to not bed your back. Keep it straight as your getting up. Get on your hands and knees first then use the support of something that’s not gonna give in if you put all your weight on it

This exsarsaize benefits for cornic bulge disc sciatica?

[@lisawetton5539]

I have a severely herniated disc at L1-L2 on the left side. I’ve recently experienced worsening symptoms with numbness of anterior and lateral side of left leg and burning pain. The pain seems to be controlled with NSAIDS, but I am having stomach issues with these meds. The numbness hasn’t resolved for 6 weeks. Are there any exercises that can be beneficial for L1-L2. From what I read, this is a rare area for disc herniation. I don’t want surgery, but I am afraid that if I don’t have this fixed, the damage will become permanent.

[@sharojlamichhane3610]

I have been suffering from Lower back pain for 6 months. My MRI report tells that 1. There is loss of lumbar lordosis. There are partial disc desiccation changes at multiple vertebral levels. 2. L4-L5 Level- There is global disc bulge seen with central disc extrusion; there is mild narrowing of central spinal canal and the bilateral subarticular zone with contact of bilaeral L5 traversing nerve root, there is moderate narrowing of the left foramen with contact of the left L4 exiting nerve root. 3. There is ligamentum flavum hypertrophy at multiple vertebral levels. Disc bulge C6-C7 level. What can be done to be free form this . I would remain thankful for your advice.

[@stephaniegutierrez6222]

Hello Dr. I have been going to physical therapy now for almost 2 months for what they thought was costochondritis although the pain originated in my cervical spine and it took me a very long time to get an MRI from my doctor. Cut to this week the MRI shows bulged disc‘s in my cervical spine C6 and C7. I am now curious as to whether or not my physical therapy routines will change and geared more towards helping my cervical spine. My question to you is what type of exercises should I be expecting from physical therapy? As of now they are only focusing on my middle back and if that’s all they continue to do I wonder if I should change to another physical therapy team all together.

[@oktayyilmazunlu]

I had an operation 2 years ago. My last MR says I still have two herniated discs and I have a serious pain and very low life quality. So what I need to know is that after doing these exercises for some time, can they sove the herniated disc problem totaly? If its so, how long does it take?

[@kyf_]

Everybody has a of disc herniation to some extent. Some have more severe cases with worse symptoms, others not so much. So technically you cant really cure a disc herniation, but you can cure the symptoms dicreasing the pressure on the nerves. These exercises help you to do that. How long it will take depends on many factors, the severity, your dedication to the excercises and in general the treatment program and many others, It's not the same for everybody. I suggest you to try to find a physio that can help you with that, it's not only these exercises, there's a lot more that can be done.
