I am 58 years old. I have been having burning sensation from the pelvis to the toes and bad pain of my right leg for the past 8 years. Two months ago I discovered your channel. I have been doing physical therapy since then for at least 4 times a week. Your demonstrations have assisted me much so much that I feel much relieved now . My leg is now healing and I am able to do household chores that I failed to do because of the pain. Thank you very much and continue doing the good job . May God continue blessing you.

They want to give me a needle in my spine and I don't want that. I'm scheduled to see a Chiropractor soon. But I will try these and see if I get any relief. My pain is localized on the right buttock and goes to the back and sometimes the front of my thigh. I can't sit or stand or walk without pain. The MRI says the L2-L3, L-4, L-5 and SI are the cause. Something just doesn't seem right. As I lay on my back now I feel the pain has gone down to the front on my right leg passed the calf. I'm scared it's something else. I had pain like this in 2009 but it did not last this long and I didn't have much or any PT. HELP!!!

[@JustSomePerson8]

@Worldsbiggestloner no I've read a lot. If you're old yeah maybe. Even doctors say surgery should be a last resort. I'm healing better I quit work used my savings to lay around for months and used a massage gun on my spine to push it in place and stretch. 6 months I'm almost healed and fixing years of damage. I'm 28. If you get surgery you need to keep getting surgery it doesn't last. If you do natural way you can stay healed if you do it right. 10k for surgery that you need to keep doing or 10k to laydown and heal naturally. Your call. I'm definitely going to take care of my back from now on. If you're old I would consider surgery unless you're already retired by then. The longest if heard this going is 2 years till healed for older folk. 9 months or less for younger. I probably had 3 herniated disk at the same time because of how it felt. It's almost done just don't pop it back out. If it's as bad as mine you should take a break from work for 9 months if you can. otherwise, the spine will stay that way and become irreversible. I quit work as soon as I popped this sucker I could tell this was different. Tip: to help heal and sleep you can put a 2 pillows under your ribs if it's your lower spine that's curved. I had a noticeable curve but now it's straight and just switch sides.

[@JustSomePerson8]

@Worldsbiggestloner if you have what I have but every herniated disk will be different and different stretching might be better for you. Best advice is find any position that doesn't hurt and lay like that but don't arch your back laying down. Sometimes arching feels good but I just know it's not. Look at how the lower spine should look in pictures and how it curves. When you do stretching don't force it at all just light movement back and forth. The push up one helped too but I actually lifted my butt because laying down hurt too much. Avoid movement and laying down that causes pain. Check your spine with your fingers and feel how strait/crooked it is. Use a massage gun lightly on your spine to correct it and do stretching. Eat lots of protein and vitamin D and get sleep. In time you'll feel better. Laying on flat hard floor is best 👌

Love u guys ! Thank u for the tips. I am 55 yrs old and I have severe spinal stenosis of thoracic and lumbar vertebra and have had 4 surgeries already in 6 years. Last time my dura was tore and took long time to heal. It eventually formed a cyst from the drainage. I am in excruciating pain 24/7 without relief. I cannot lay on my hips which is my favourite sleeping spot. I only can lay on my back , ( my least favourite) I am waiting for emergency surgery. It was to be within 6 weeks but is now over 3 months. Not looking forward to it but need some relief. Both sides my siatic nerves starting from my pelvis , tailbone, hips bilaterally to my tips of my toes constantly are extremely painful and sitting and standing make it worse. I appreciate all that u guys do ! Oh also have had and again have spondilolythesis and retrolythesis. In about a year or less the stenosis grows back and ends up squeezing my spinal cord . Is there any tips u may have on slowing the regrowth ??? 😊

[@bryongreene8436]

I felt a crack in my lower back by doing that last exercise. It felt so good and now my back pain is gone... You guys are great! Thanks a lot! 😃

[@Gypsygirl770]

Awesome... you just gave me answers I didn't know... I've been living with injuries from a fall for 13 years.... pain was always on my right side... now I have extreme sciatica on my left side... I walk like you mentioned in video... hunch forward to the right... oh my God... I'm do the first couple of exercises... and a variation of the very last... but I'm going to try them how you say... and see how it helps... the GI Joe or commando crawl figure gives me the most relief... and I lay with a roll against my left side... I'm grateful I found your videos

[@bobbyraejohnson]

Thank you guys God bless you.

[@terismidt4920]

I'm going to try these. Can I do the table exercises on my bed? I'm 64 years old. If I get on the floor I may not get up. I have my pain on the right side. I also have a lot of pain in my groin and hip area. I have osteoporosis in my hips and back. How do I know if its my sciatica or the osteoporosis? Thanks so much for this video and your time you put into making it.

[@AGASI999]

I can't thank you enough for the GI JOE stretch. It really worked. I was in pain all night and went through all kinds of KZbin videos in desperation. The GI JOE move is the only one that worked for me ..thanks a tonne!

Must admit that I'm despairing a little here today. Exercises that worked for me a couple of days ago are now too painful and I'm struggling to find other things which work. The pain has been intense today. But reading so many positive comments and testimonials on here is really encouraging. I won't give up hope. For all of you watching, and for Bob and Brad - you are in my thoughts and prayers.

[@danhope77]

Your exercises are helping me! Thank you!

[@CloudsInMyCoffee69]

Yes!!!! Sometimes I find myself humming the intro in my head !! Hysterical!

[@Sammy1970]

Thanks guys for all your videos you upload especially for back conditions. Just wanted to let you know that I now have my fusion L5 - S1 operation date which will be on the 21st August 2017. I'm hoping it goes well and it takes away my pain that I've been living with for 17 years. Wish me luck eh!

[@Chin-Checker]

Neal Salmon how u doing now after your surgery ?

[@joaquinmurrieta7008]

Neal Salmon are you ok?

[@BrokenRRT]

Neal Salmon - did the fusion help or do you regret it?

[@MAXIMUMTOLERANCE]

Oh my god it worked! I've been dealing this pain for months now and this is all you needed to do to get rid of the pain. I don't know how to thanks you 😭😭

[@natashaphun873]

Thank you so much for these videos. I started with lower back pain in January, started physio and after 3 weeks started getting sciatica. I moved between physio, chiro, acupuncture, and as the pain started to shoot down my whole leg, moved to tingling, pins and needles and now numbness and cramping. I recently started to wake up because of pain and noticed I'd wake up with my lower body on the left with pain on my right side. Getting out of bed and bending was excrutiating so I went to my GP who first recommended ibuprofen, which gave me stomach problems, I was then recommended Zaldiar combination therapy (tramadol and paracetamol and now Mobic with little relief. I then decided before having to see a neurologist, I would go to an Exercise Physiologist who gave me the very exercises you said not to do. Hamstring stretch, pigeon, and childs pose in yoga. The next 5 days Ive experienced stronger pins and needles. I watched 5 of your videos lying on my stomach and trying some of the movements suggested and am already feeling better from lying on my stomach. Mine is a very stubborn pain, but I don't want to have surgery, and the knee up to the side and then lifting my upper body is the only thing I've done that doesnt sent pain or pins and needles down my leg. I'm going to try to do these exercises daily and hope that I get some relief and help myself get better, but thank you so much for all the explanations, demonstrations, and I love how you both interact and bounce off each other. Its so informative, helpful and entertaining too. Thanks for introducing me to the McKenzie Method. I was a very active person until sciatica set in and since felt very incapacitated, put on weight and feeling down about not being able to do simple tasks, sit, stand or lie down without being pain free so thanks so much. I plan to watch your videos and do these exercises every night :)

[@rooprai5673]

You described my journey with sciatica. Hope you are better and pain free now.

[@marengokra4134]

i feel the same like yours sis, i feel like dying😭

[@mayureej8918]

Oh I’m in the same journey with you. For me is 6 months now, start from back of my ass and gradually shoot below to my foot. Basically, this symptom brings everything described at me out. I can’t biking, I can’t travel, working, sleeping. Nearly everything that make my life is a life gone with it.

[@margaretmathai6190]

This is me now, I have just chiropractor and don't want to hear surgery, so will try the exercises and see.

[@karenbudworth4187]

These two are brilliant. I’ve had a l4-l5 herniated disc and all the exercises my physio gave me never worked until I found this video. The banana helped me so much. Thx guys you’re ace. 😆

[@Lisaciancarelli]

Really pleased to have found your videos. I’m being treated in P/T by a great team for my sciatica, but these videos are providing some great tactics to get through the rough patches between visits. This combined with my exercises is really providing some quick intervention for relief. Thanks!

[@geirbalderson9697]

Bob and Brad the two most exciting people in the whole wide World!

I have so much pain all the time from this. I’ve tried everything just shy of losing 30 pounds and still have pain. What can I do!? 😢

[@MrJohnyhiphop]

Bad news getting older more aches and pains good news get to see more videos of these guys. They should have their own TV show.

[@dianacazadora2770]

You guys are funny. It's nice to learn about how to heal at the same time as having fun

[@hazelduncan8668]

Thanks guys.Tired of being in pain.I'll start right away.

[@dvonj30]

I just want to thank Bob&Brad for making these videos. I had a stubborn pain in my lumbar region for over a month now, been taking Ibuprofren but with no real results in reducing pain. Woke up one morning in pain couldnt stand straight and was fed up and serious about fixing the problem once and for all. I figured it was a herniated disc so I looked up videos on correcting a herniated disc and found bob and brad. I tried every exercise in this video and they all worked well. The last exercise did the trick completely. All the pain is gone. Thank you guys so much. If it wasnt for this video I probably would have spent hundred of dollars on Xrays and chiropractic therapy. You guys are great! SUBSCRIBED.

[@RunnerThin]

I think mine was from "slouch" sitting. Can you comment or do a video on "how to sit?"
