I first experienced this in 2020. I’m sure it was due to long hours in front of my computer while working from home. The towel exercises helped a lot plus cold compress and anti inflammatory meds. At its worst I could only walk a few steps due to the agony I was in. It was a long 4 months but I recovered without surgery. Now in April 2024 I am going through it again though not in anywhere like the pain I was in before. I am now trying to manage it better doing these exercises hoping that things don’t get worse before they get better.

Doing the above exercise are not a bad idea but it seems there is underlying issue that need to be address and improve. I’m a simple way I would suggest to avoid just chasing the pain and the symptoms !!

Hello. I had done physical therapy for shoulder tendinitis at the same time tx for recovery of Tibia Plateau Fx. My cervical area got out of line trying to do 3-4 days Christmas with renting a car,( my Son did) as mine toast- not driven in a year. Rested up, got hotel, took n wrapped the adult children n Grandchildren presents. Drove 200 miles and walked with cane over 4 days 5,300 steps. Did sleep extra and tipped for transport of all items. I did it. Had a wonderful time w/ 12 others. But knee swelling, popping out as lost ACL stabilizer anterior ligament in 1999. So flat for 2 weeks as I herniated L3. But last year in nursing home for knee n COVID came. So no yearly family event for me Sept-2020- Jan 21. Then therapy till July with spinal injection Now better, yet cervical and my shoulder bursitis really acting up. Did 85-200 steps. Tried to increase to 500. Then last 4 days out errands Joined friends and got in 2,400 in 3 days. Body can’t handle it. Also went to store on my own up n down off riding cart n carried $50 food. Neck, shoulder tendinitis n swollen knee again. So I’m certain these exercises will get me better. Plus thank you for reminding me takes 10-12 weeks to recover. I really do appreciate your video as did some of these with. Whiplash 20 years ago. God bless you n keep COVID away from your family. In Jesus name, Amen. 👍 Joan Cramer

I have a herniated c7. 6 weeks ago, I woke up with a stiff neck, ignored it and did explosive movements. The next day I woke up for a month of excruciating pain and several stages of arm weakness. Took anti-inflammatory for a week, put heat pads, omega3. The pain subsided. But I still can't lift my arm fast. I can lift weights slowly and if I'm focused, but my arm doesn't respond to fast explosive push ups. Now I'm starting again with anti-inflammatory, omega3, heat pads and adding daily stretches for the neck and back. I hope I can have my arm back fast.

I've been visiting 4 doctors, took medicine (like: Meloxicam (i still use this at nights), Pregabalin, Duloxetine) and the pain just didn't get any better since the 3rd month. the pain is not that much to make me cry but it comes too sensitive from 2 sources and its killing me. (my pain is mostly on the left side of my body, my left hand, left shoulder and sometimes hip).

A scattered pain, i usually twist and stretch my arm to feel better. About injury i should tell yes. I am 26 (1995) and i had an injury when i was 19 yo. I was a pro volleyball player and i got injured in my right shoulder (Ruptured muscle and tendon strain. I cant really remember the muscle’s name but it was something like “Spertomenatus”) the doctor injected something straight into my shoulder 4 or 5 times back in the days said it’s gonna block your nerves and end the pain. 2 years ago i met a physiotherapist and she said “your nerves still don’t work well and you got a mild spinal deviation”. Average 3 to 5 hours daily (this was like 8 or 10 before) but some days like today it grows to 7 or 8. I do stretches after every 30-35 minutes of sitting. The pain won’t let me sit more. Its like pushing vertebras on each other. After that it comes to my neck, shoulder and arm.

[@bobthephysio]

@@AlirezaRastgoo37 there are couple of things that you should start doing daily. since your pain and discomfort has been there for more than 12 weeks, it's more like a sensitivity. (cheonic pain is different from acute pain) you need to stop y focusing on your neck ( I know its not as easy as saying it) !! I give you couple of tips that gonna help you to improve that sensitivity. 1st, your should stop those stretches, they just gonna give you short term releave. 2nd, you have to start a rehab routine that get your stringer (not only focus on the neck) you need to build upper body strenght and mobility) that helps you not only improve the pain but also gain your confidence. Don't worry too much about the physiotherapist who told your spine has a "deviation" that's only an opinion. You are young and our body is adaptable if you ease of and just think about the injury and pain it slow than your recovery !! I'll send you a video that your I would like you to follow daily 2 times, while you following this routine, plz do not check your neck, ( don't test it whether is sore or not) & no more stretch you need to strengthen it 👌💪🏻 check this video and let me know if you have any questions.

Left elbow , shoulder and arm is weak when I lift weights and don't feel any strength when I squeeze my biceps or triceps. And my left shoulder joint and collar bone have sharp pain when I try exercises.and I feel nerve pinching in my left trap muscle and left shoulder,which makes my left arm weaker.

I mean its a neck injury , I visited one Doctor , he checked my left arm squeeze power and biceps strength,he said all problem are coming from neck,and he even mentioned its a cervical spondylosis.

I keep hearing that 80-90% of the time the cervical herniated disc resolves itself within 8-12 weeks. Yet 90% of the comments of KZbin on this topic show people have been suffering for months and years with no improvement. Most end up having surgery. The McKenzie exercises makes my pain worse, both in the neck and arm.

[@bobthephysio]

90% time people do nothing beside rest and after 3months of rest expect to get better !! At the end they listen to their orthopaedics and do the surgery & maybe go and ask them are they feeling bette after the surgery ?

Hi..bob. Your video literally changed my life and now i am feeling very good. Had a herniated c7 and slightly bulged c5 and c6. Had to go through extreme pain and suffering until i watched and subscribed you. There has been a severve inpinging to the core at c7 and i had to completely drop my gym workouts that actually put me in depression. My question is can i go back to gym and do workouts .At least can i be able to do light weight workouts with more reps to keep me in shape. Can you guidr me what and workouts i should avoid and what can be continued.. Please reply .. Thanks Bob

[@bobthephysio]

I believe You can, but the issue is where to start and how to modify your plan based on your injury is important. I believe you need to get help. A plan that is customised to your needs. I can’t suggest you anything without knowing you. Plz book a consultation and we can go from there. Bob

Hey Bob, can you suggest the best position to sleep in this condition and the kind of pillow one needs? Will be a great help. Thank you!

[@bobthephysio]

The best possible explanation for sleeping POSITION is to find the most comfortable POSITION. Pillow should give you a firm support and memory foam could be a good option ( harder and solid pillow) 👍🤗 let me know if you have any questions. Bob
