Brian having suffered with sciatica for 30yrs i feel your pain.

[@aliciagracielaramirezloren51]

Wonderful to hear you were lucky to catch your heart problem on time and we will have you around ❤️ for many years to come. I wish more people would know there are a three stretches that solve Sciatica problems very easily😁 1.- look for a place where you have a handle bar to grab for balance. 2.-Stand with the foot and the hip of the side that hurts paralel against the wall. 3.- Place the other foot 🦶 -| perpendicular. 4.- Bend down and touch your toes with your hand. This will stretch the muscles all the way from your heel & up to your hip. Let me forewarn you...It is VERY PAINFUL. You will feel as if your eyes are popping out.🤪 Three days in a row. Stretch No. 2 Stand in front of a chair. Bend your waist to put your forearms flat on the seat. Wiggle your hips. Move from left to right slowly . Do this for one minute Stretch No. 3 Lay down in your bed Bend your knees and pull with your hands towards your chest as much as you can. Hold for one minute. Do this stretches three times per day (morning noon and evening). That's it, simple!🌝 No more pain! Please do this. Was taught by a Frenchn ballet 🩰 dancer. Will be forever thankful. .

It sucks getting old. I am right there with you. Sciatica is no joke.

Brian, being that I'm a cardiac nurse by profession, I'm so thankful that you were treated rapidly and skillfully. I remember when we use to have to prep patients for cardiac cath, or angiogram as you say, by shaving the groin for wire insertion. Prior to changing to radial angiogram, patients use to have to lay flat for hours following the procedure, and it was excruciatingly painful, especially for the patients with lumbar spine and sciatic nerve issues. Bless your heart, literally, I'm so glad you made the choice to have stents placed. I understand that you're a very fit man, however, sometimes genetics can play a part in arterial plaque/high cholesterol. It's just like everything in life, even though a person thinks they're doing everything right, sometimes all can go wrong. You've made it, you're aware of it, and you'll live on to make great music, just remember, stress causes high cholesterol too, so relax lol. Oh, and if you ever need a great cardiac nurse, I'm willing to travel, and I have great references lol. Stay safe and healthy, and let the beat ♥️ go on. RIP Freddie 💛💜💛💜💛

Sadly the affects that pain has on the mind is hardly ever discussed in the doctors office. It can lead to emotional agony that is worse than the physical pain itself. I know I have been under duress of such pain in the past. Mouth and tooth pain I cannot tolerate, or foot pain i.e. ingrown toenails EEEK! I have been in pain to the point where Shock was beginning to set in and that’s no fun. It’s best to seek out an understanding provider, mine happens to specialize in mental health as well as Allopathy which is a plus. I hope you’re doing better and btw thank you for all that you have been doing since the Covid hit the scene. You’ve been a tremendous help to thousands of people and I thank you for it. Cheers

[@douglassloan6831]

Brian, I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear that you are on the mend. I am a guitar player today because of you and the inspiration you brought to my life back in the 70's seeing you play at the Forum in Los Angeles every time you guys were in town. Beyond that, this is all quite uncanny. Last year in the midst of suffering from an L5 S1 disk rupture after. years of Motocross Racing,, I had what they call a "widow maker" heart attack. Rushed by my amazing wife to the hospital where they took me down to the Cath room. The doctor leaned in and said to me, "I'm going to save your life tonight", And he did. What an eye opening time that was. It really does cause you to take stock of everything you've been taking for granted and the excesses in your life that are perhaps just that...excesses. Be well, Brian. You've brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. Now, keep some for yourself.

Congratulations!! Sir. So glad that things worked out so well for you. I'm 73 and have had lower back surgery twice. Know what the pain is like all down your leg, rooted from the lower back. I say it's like someone has a spear stuck in your back and are twisting it. Awful pain; and I agree with you about the pain killers. I also relate to the heart problem, having had one of those a few years back. Luckily, I have a great Cardiologist and things are under control. Please take care Brian, and please stay Safe. Sending you socially distanced Hugs. Cheers!! John Russell (73 year young Rocker now in a rocker ;) in the U.S.A.(Born in Portsmouth U.K)

[@ungmd21]

Brian, I'm a physician . You CAN evaluate the coronary arteries without a catheterization. Although a cath is the gold standard. But you can evaluate how your coronaries are by repeat nuclear stress testing periodically. We do cardiac evaluations on 50 plus year olds in the US routinely as part of a WELLNESS check. I'm glad you are better Maybe we can talk medicine, music or astrophysics some time. They all interest me.

[@joinjen3854]

Hey I am a Doctor, musician and poet and PhD in Astrophysics so I will make you dinner if you come to Washington state USA.

[@jettsoma]

Kenneth Does a stress test tell you if your arteries are clogging before it gets to the heart attack stage, though? I’m 66 and have had 2 stress tests because of chest pain. No one ever mentioned that I could have them as part of a wellness exam. I’m also in the US.

Hey Brian, I too had to deal with excruciating pain and I truly appreciate you sharing how it takes over your brain just dealing with it while trying to function. Even more remarkable is the fact in both our cases one ailment led to the discovery of another more serious life threatening condition that is now taken care of. The takeaway is “ Somebody up there really likes us” and we share that gratitude with God, and those who care for us both at home and at hospital. 🙏🏻 Life is precious !

[@gfindlay70]

Brian - I’ve had the same kind of intense sciatic pain in conjunction with a herniated disk so I can truly relate. I lived on pain medicine for about a month along with physical therapy and then all was well. Glad all is much better for you.

Congratulations on finding and fixing your health problems! I've been an at-risk cardio patient for a few years now and I know what it's like to be completely blind-sided by such a diagnosis. I can't believe how humble you are. As much of a rock-history icon you are, you're still down-to-earth and very "matter of fact". The world should follow your example. I love all of your updates; especially this one. The fact that you provide this update because you want to inform your concerned followers and not to get out in front of media rumors, speaks volumes to your integrity and the infinite amount of class you have! Again, great to hear you're back on track and ready to rock some more!

Love Brian’s music. I had the pleasure of meeting the members of Queen in Dallas after their show on March 22, 1975. Brian couldn’t have been a nicer guy, and the show was absolutely flawless. It was a magical night for those of us who witnessed that concert. Thank you to Brian for all the years of happy memories because of his amazing music. On another note, I’ve had the same two medical conditions which Brian speaks about here. He’s absolutely correct about the back pain. It is exactly like a screwdriver in the back. Best of luck with that in the future.

Almost all of my happiest memories from my early days are accompanied with your songs. I listen to Queen every day as well! My favourite albums either have to be A kind of magic, The Miracle or Innuendo... I cannot decide, they are all just too good! Also I participated in the You are the champions contest for designing something for It's a kind of magic and won! Thank you!!!!!!! I really wish you have the opportunity to read my message since I do not think I'll someday have the chance to meet you in person and say thank you face to face how I wish I could (and to all members of Queen). You're also such a big inspiration for me in terms of your personality! I truly admire you and how 'balanced' you choose to live your life.

If you actually read this message can you please let me know by either 'liking' it or responding to it so I know that you received my thank you :) Really one of my wishes is letting you know that; how I admire you so much and how you're such a good role model to me.

I had 4 stents installed years ago, 3 through the groin into the right side following a heart attack, one through the wrist in the left side. I can't believe they are still doing bypasses when they have the ability to do stents. I figure those heart doctors who do the bypasses aren't getting many and they still have a yacht to pay off so that's why they are pushing people to have them done. Good luck, I hope all goes well.

[@suestoons]

When I read "Dr. Brian May had a heart attack", I think I literally stopped breathing for a moment. What a scare! Please make sure Roger gets checked out soon too! - Living with moderate to severe pain. I've had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 18 [58 now]. It mainly affects my fingers and toes but I've also got weird, as in not usual, joint involvement. My sacroiliac joints are very involved. Up to about 15 years ago, medical science deemed these joints to be not 'real' joints but then they learned that they are. They do have and are subject to synovial involvement. As you've no doubt learned recently, sciatic nerve pain terminating from this area is a real thing. It's a snowball effect including Fibromyalgia "knots". - The joints get inflamed so the muscles surrounding the joints move to protect the painful area. Which leads to fatigue and knot build up in the muscles. Then the muscles surrounding the first muscles get in the act to protect the first set of muscles and outward the ripples go. - Soon enough, if you're not vigilant with physio everything between the waistline to the knees can seize up and the pain is indescribable. - I've yet to find the words to adequately describe the pain. The closest I've come is to do some mixed media art that has a nucleus that looks like a glowing ember in a fire with ripples of ever greater pain surrounding it. Lots of texture paste ripple build-up and lots of dark reds and oranges lessening to a deep yellow. By the time we work out to a nice sun-glow yellow, the pain is tolerable. - I live with daily pain as manageable between 5 and 6 out of 10. When it escalates to 8, I'm in bed listening to the TV or music for distraction. The days that the pain is 9 or 10 I'm literally out of my mind. - Glad you're back. You'll never know how much you mean to people. When I'm in my down periods, I default to Queen music. Hubby has walked into my room, heard Queen and remarked "Having a bad day are we?". One thing I do a lot is to concentrate very hard to see if I can pick out the individual voices when Freddie or Adam aren't singing. That is how I get through some of my worst pain, listening for you or Roger singing. LOL

[@iliannachev2882]

Hi Brian, I am really glad that you made it out of the hospital the best possible way, given the circumstances! Thank you for caring for us and giving us updates! Wish you speedy and complete recovery! I have been a fan of yours since 1990 when I was twelve and heard I Want It All for the first time on the radio... I remember thinking “Wow, this is the best music I have ever heard! Queen is my favorite band from now on!” I haven’t heard a better band to this day... The other day I stumbled upon a recording of yours that I had never heard - it was Purple Haze by Jimmy Hendrix! I believe Tim Staffel was on the vocals, but I may be mistaken. Now, you are my favorite guitarist, but I just never heard you play anything from Jimmy Hendrix and wasn’t sure what to expect as his style is pretty unique... I know he is your favorite (and Freddie’s) rock legend, but I just wasn’t sure how it would be. I didn’t doubt you, I was just curious. Well, when the recording started, I wasn’t sure if that was really you playing or Jimmy Hendrix! It sounded so authentic and precise, and most importantly, it was very pleasant to the ear! I listened with great satisfaction and couldn’t wait to discuss it with my friends who love rock music! Now, you are twice as much my favorite guitar player! I know that it is a long shot, but I would love to hear you play some more songs of Jimmy Hendrix. Maybe some Vodoo Child? Even small portion of it... Either way, I send you all the best wishes I have always wanted to send you and the rest of Queen, my favorite band forever! I never managed to meet any of you, but I was lucky enough to see you play live with Adam Lambert. I will see Freddie on the other side when that moment comes. Rock on! Your biggest fan for life!

[@ItIsJustJudy]

I am so happy you are OK. I started to tear up when you said heart attack. I ruptured two discs in the lumbar region of my spine, so I sort of know the pain of which you speak. I had to have surgery to relieve the pressure off of the nerves, only to have scar tissue build up, and put pressure back on. Oh, well. Keep on that healing track, Dr. May. Best wishes.

I went on a plant-based diet at age 55 because of severe sciatic pain and high cholesterol. My job as a mail carrier had me walking 8-10 miles per day and I was in so much pain, I couldn't sleep at night. I literally felt better overnight and have stopped taking meds that don't work. I know you don't want advice but you have given me so much joy over the many years and doctors won't tell you this. Dr.'s Greger, McDougal, Esselstyn, Klapper.......all right here on youtube. It SUCKS getting old and having to deal with the wreckage of our past. Love you Brian and thank you! Blessings my friend.

Wow, I can relate 100% to your ordeal. I had back surgery due to a compressed disc and unfortunately the surgery failed so I now have severe back pain I have to manage with medication. 4 years after my back, I had a heart attack as well. 5 bypasses later, I seem to be ok. That was 8 years ago. I was very surprised because I thought I was pretty healthy. It just goes to show, you just never know. I'm glad everything turned out for you!

As you wish. "Congratulations for making it through, Dr. May." Glad they were able to find what was wrong and that you're doing okay once again. Hopefully you'll be back to 100% very soon. We know your guardian angel up there made sure you were in the right place at the right time. Congratulations on keeping yourself alive! You're fantastic! Stay stafe and healthy. ❤

God bless you too Bri all the time and i know what agony is 😥❤🎇

[@weezadam]

Brian--so thankful you received world class care and are recovering. It sounds like you're able to rock again!

[@lyndalorenzo367]

Thank goodness you listened to your body! My daughter experienced chest pains so attended A & E where she was diagnosed and treated for angina. She continued driving herself and three children to a family party whilst experiencing all the classic symptoms despite medication, she spent the whole of the afternoon at the party feeling progressively worse so left and drove home. Still ignoring the signs she got the children to bed etc. In the early hours of the next morning she was rushed into hospital where they operated to insert a stent. All credit to you for posting this, hopefully it will alert people to seek help sooner rather than ending up in a crisis situation. If my daughter had seen a message such as yours I think she would have been much quicker off the mark. She was only 40 years of age but thankfully recovered well.

Love you bri...good to see you back❤❤❤🇵🇭

[@natalyaniesent]

Thank you for sharing this personal thing with us, Brian! We appreciate it much, and we love hearing from you. I’m sorry about the pain and I hope you’re okay. I hope you’re doing alright, and are doing well during this time. Thank you, Brian.

[@miscanons7264]

❤️ Glad to hear & see that you seem to be 'doing alright' now, Brian. I was "pissed off" too (on your behalf) when I saw the media and some of your so-called "fans" making "jokes" about your situation. It's why we should always try to call-out these people, those "stans" who claim to be your fans but show their true nature & intentions when they make those types of "jokes". They're Not "jokes" as they try to claim, it's actually a "lowkey dig at you disguised as jokes". I hope you haven't seen the "cheating jokes" those people made/keep making, about you. How strange it is that if you were on tour right now, you probably wouldn't want to let people down and would've probably ignored the signs from your body until it was too late. Perhaps someone was looking out for you, after all... 🙏 😇

[@Caprica1977]

I know your pain Brian. Sciatica is so debilitating. Great to see you in good shape once again. We're grateful to have such a kind soul in the world. God bless to you too :)

[@judywenthold3616]

So thankful that your heart has been repaired and that your pain in your leg and back is getting better!!!! Hell, Brian, we don't get bored when you talk. Personally, I could listen to you talk and tell stories for hours and hours. Your words and music soothe my soul.....

[@13quijote]

Glad to see you doing good. Stay safe and healthy, the show must go on.

[@brianmaysprettycooleh9271]

I’m so glad that you’re ok Bri! Love from Canada 🇨🇦♥️♥️

[@PaoloGagliardi]

Brian you are not allowed to go anywhere. Like Freddie said once: "we're gonna stay together until we f××××g die!". And this is exactly what we will do, still for a very very long time! Say ok please?

[@juliabeatlemaniac]

[@heartsong08]

I am glad that you are doing better! Prayers for continued healing for you, Brian!

[@marymartel6342]

I can so relate. I fell to the floor writhing in pain 8 years ago. It took a month ( in a wheelchair) crying, before a physician's assistant said, "Let's X-ray your back. My thoughts - what a waste! The pain isn't in my back! Well, a compressed sciatica! Pain was, as you said, excruciating and unbearable! Physical therapy and meds and I'm back to my "normal" 73 year old self! Glad you were in a place where all your problems could be solved! Here's to many more! Years, not pain! 😊

[@merranthompson9096]

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND AND ENCOURAGING WONDERFUL WISE WORDS WHEN YOU GET TO A CERTAIN AGE OF 60 YEARS OF AGE YOU ARE A BRAVE EXAMPLE OF HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH!

[@TheMerlioness]

We are so thankful you escaped this harrowing episode, Dr. May. So this pandemic was actually a blessing in disguise -- you could be in the middle of the BoRhap EU tour (for which I have a ticket) and suffered this. Meanwhile, we are just happy you are now well and we had micro-concerts in the interim during the lockdown. Stay safe and stay healthy!

[@Galatea20]

I´m so happy to see you are ok, but when you say "i have a small heart attack" i jumped up from my chair😅

[@escanditatewari]

Brian, you gotta stay alive for long. You are precious!

[@tatianaroveda]

Yes sir- I live with curvature of the spine. The pain is unbelievable - Don't weaken, Brian- You look good, and you can get thru anything you set your mind to. I am living proof of someone living with pain- I should be in a wheel chair. So very sorry you had to go thru all of this.. God Bless you Brian..Sending prayers for healing from NJ, USA

[@stephenbobic3226]

Amazing that you have such a wonderful doctor and that he acted so fast and humanely! And kudos to the hospital staff for not just doing a procedure but giving you the information you needed to make a decision. I dislike pain meds as well and will stay away from them as much as I can. But there are a few things that make them almost inevitable and the pain you describe is one of them. Luckily I have an excellent physio/chiro for this and his group makes all the difference. The worst thing for me is that it takes about 4 days for the affects to wear off from the pain meds. I am so glad you found the issues and have found resolutions to them! Thank you for sharing this story with all of us! And thank you for sharing your music with us! It is so much fun to jam to!

[@TheseusTitan]

My opinion: If you take vitamin C four times a day (because it only stays in your body for about 3 to 3.5 hours) it will reduce the inflammation. I had inflamed the disc in my lumbar and it felt like lightning bolts were shooting around my hips. The disc bulged and hit the sciatic nerve and I had pain all the way down to the arch of my foot. Vitamin C was the main thing that made it better. I used a cold pack as well. It is amazing what a difference vitamin C made for me. I hope it can help you too.

[@queenrocksforever615]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Brian, and so happy you are okay! We wish you a long lifetime of health, happiness, music, and love! Please rest and take care of yourself, as you are a true treasure! Thank you for your amazing gift of music, and we look forward to seeing you rock the masses live again soon! Sending lots of love and positive energy! ❤️🎸🎤🎹🥁🎼❤️

[@briguy_81]

I was very distraught to hear that you were having medical issues and I am so glad that you are recovering. I learned to play guitar at eight years old because of you. You opened my eyes to what music can be. Queen is my Beatles and you are my personal hero. Please take care of yourself and know that your ‘rock disciples’ are thinking of you.

[@patricialewis6666]

Congratulations, Brian! Sharing what happened to you is kind, and a lesson for the rest of us. 🙏

[@ariesxox4806]

Brian May is so amazing and literally the most adorable man in the world. 16 years old is me and Queen is my Life :))) Oh my, This is a silly question for such an amazing man but... How do you take care of your hair! It's such an icon to your person I must know your secrets! Love you Queen and Mr. May

[@nananas2393]

Brian: don't panic Me: panics anyway

[@rosyyorizzo6982]

Wow! I'm so glad you've come out of all this so well! I think you're a very lucky man and as a wife and a daughter I also feel very happy for Anita, your children, your whole family and close friends. Keep checking that spine. I know about that pain since I had to have a lumbar laminectomy in 2003. My surgeon told my husband he wasn't sure if I would walk again because my nerve was as flat as a fetuccine. It should have looked like a spaguetti instead. When I woke up in the recovery room, he was next to me and he made me move my toes, and they did. He was quite pleased. There was another complication during the surgery. My dura was slightly lacerated and that kept me in bed for a whole month. I'm not ok because a few years later a distonia started in my left foot and it stays with me when I'm awake. I had botox injections and that didn't work. I also had a fall two years ago and I have a fractured vertebrae which will keep bothering me because I can't afford to have it fixed. Enough about my spine. You think, everybody about our age (I'm almost 64), should have an angiogram. I agree. Everybody should also have a colonoscopy. But most of us can't afford those tests. I'm not British but I've always thought that if people reincarnate I was probaly English in my last life. The British had a wonderful health service which is slowly getting worse and worse, and that infuriates me. I shouldn't be telling you this since you've just come out of a heart attack. But the British should fight for the NHS, for their nurses and doctors, for their hospitals. Coming out the way you just did, should help all the people who have paid for excellent health services out of their monthly paycheck and who are watching those services crumble. Thank you for being so honest and congratulations for getting back in shape.

[@AtticusBleep]

Seriously, the NHS is nowhere near as bad as you’ve read. And it has increasingly absurd amounts of money spent on it every year so how it has to “cut” services is beyond me. Then again, our government allows 600k new people a year to live in our tiny country and then wonders why our services are flooded.

[@cheryllynpatterson]

Thank heavens for skilled medical professionals that took care of Brian May! May he rock on for a long time to come!

[@netti5415]

I've suffered from sciatic pain myself and it's no joke. The pain really does take over you completely. I'm so sorry and I'm so glad you're okay. I love, love, love you. Stay well.

[@barbkafilmout9449]

Pain has an incredible effect on anyone. Sorry and glad you’re on the mend

[@lorrainecimino8508]

The reaction was frightening, but so happy that you are well now. Was that excellent physiotherapist your son? Wishing you love and prayers for your continued better health. I have one stint.

[@macsongs55]

Get well Brian, we need people like around, aesthetic, artistic people, god bless you Brian!!!

[@BustedJunkStudio]

I'm about your age and had the first attack about 25 years ago, went thru the stents and bypass surgery and medications as you have and now 25 years on, I'm still here and like you still ready to rock. Modern medical procedures are a miracle, I should have died 25 years ago. Best wishes.

[@Ali-xo4ei]

Thanks for sharing Brian. Humble and realistic as always. Health first. Keep well our Brian.
