Dr. Jon, I love your videos, and understand how sleeping flat is best, however I need to sleep on an incline. I have a lung condition where sleeping inclined is best for me. I purchased a 10” wedge pillow and sleep much better, but I want to make sure my neck is in the correct position. Can you show me via photo or drawing how to use pillows to give me the correct alignment for my spin and neck? Thank you!

[@drjonsaunders]

Using a wedge pillow is a good option for you.

[@kevincampos5363]

I have a herniated disc at l5 S1 and I’m not gonna lie those positions help but they my sciatic nerve is still irritated like it’s not enough pressure being removed

[@drjonsaunders]

Sorry to hear, please see my more recent video on how to sleep with sciatica.

[@bobinchainz]

I trained myself to sleep on my left side years ago when I learned it helps digestive system , it truly did , however as you show it appears my hip is being overly stretched which is causing pain as soon as I wake up and throughout the day . On top of that , oddly enough , it forces my left eye to go into my pillow and wake up super dry . Because even though my eye is closed the pillow is soaking up the moisture my eye produces lol eww

[@drjonsaunders]

Sorry to hear...please see my other videos on sleep posture. :)

[@GreenNeighbour]

Hey Dr. Jon! Clearly, I need a new mattress. I see you recommend a firm mattress. Are there any particular makes or models that you might recommend?

[@drjonsaunders]

No brand recommendations, just one that is firm AND comfortable.

[@GreenNeighbour]

@@drjonsaunders I tried out a lot of beds yesterday, and I think I found one that is both firm and comfortable. Do you have any thoughts on these new-fangled adjustable bases? Can the ability to elevate my body or my knees (or both) be helpful for sciatica?

[@analourdesbayani]

How to minimize the pain if you have : -Sacralization of l5 vertebra -Loss of normal lumbar lordosis -Modic type 2 changes -Perineural cyst -Dessication and diffuse disc bulge noted at l4 and l5

[@drjonsaunders]

With those specific findings you should seek out some professional help...it will likely take more than exercises...I wish you a quick recovery...all the best.

[@analourdesbayani]

Thank you

[@Healer_a2zee]

Why are you focusing on minimizing the pain why don't you want to get rid of it.

[@sgibson806]

I have bulging dislocated disk lower back. I can't even get into a sitting position in bed. Like I forgot how to sit up cause every time I do. A very very sharp pain in my lower back tail bone prevents me from getting out of bed and it sucks.

[@drjonsaunders]

:(

[@robincrayton5560]

I sleep on my back but I’m having problem with my upper back hurting as well with Ddd help

[@drjonsaunders]

Please watch my recent video on pillows and sleeping positions.

[@melisaharvey3465]

Hi. I am a back and side sleeper with L5S1 spine & disc damage from left to right instead of from back to front which is a permanent condition with sciaticac-shaped curvature spine,and a neck out of alignment while sleeping what is the best way to protect the neck,spine, and sciatica pain relief while sleeping with what you suggested in order for the neck and spine to feel better?

[@drjonsaunders]

Sorry to hear this...please watch the videos I have on my channel on how to sleep for neck and low back problems...all the best.

[@abhishekpratapsingh2640]

Hii I am abhishek 20yrs old and i am suffering literally suffering with this degenerative disc disease.Please help me out

[@drjonsaunders]

Please watch some of my low back videos as they should help you...best wishes.

[@QuakeLogic]

None of these worked for me unfortunately

[@drjonsaunders]

Sorry to hear that, pick the most comfortable position and stick with it.

[@Healer_a2zee]

Back pain of any type can easily be removed In spiritualism. You can contact me if you want.

[@rushijondhale0136]

Best position in lumbar spondylosis??

[@drjonsaunders]

Usually in slight flexion, but for each person it may be different.

[@mr_fries1]

Can a l4 l5 l5 s1 disc bulge heal And if so how long does it take

[@drjonsaunders]

Yes, it takes months without irritating it.

[@andreasmith6857]

Dr you did not say what to do if you are a front sleeper now i. Know where I am going wrong

[@drjonsaunders]

That is because sleeping on your stomach is bad for you. :) This may help you change the habit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4eWaGCBaZ2BqJo

[@sknazeer3221]

Can I run slowly with diffuse disc bulge at l4 l5 and s1

[@drjonsaunders]

I would avoid any compressive activities, especially if the injury is new...I wish a speedy recovery.

[@Healer_a2zee]

Nazeer sahib your problem can easily resolved by mean of spiritualism. You need to contact me.

[@BulkyHealthyCat]

I don't have bulge but spacing between L4 & L5 is this correct for me?

[@drjonsaunders]

Yes it should be helpful...all the best!

[@BulkyHealthyCat]

@@drjonsaunders thank you

[@Healer_a2zee]

As per my experience the words "spacing between L4 & L5" does not exist. You need four to five sessions with me on skype.
