?? Do You Have a Herniated Disk: 3 Quick Tests You Can Try.

[@jordanzanis8405]

I was dealing with sciatica for 4 months, wasn’t sure what was causing it but conservative approaches like physical therapy did absolutely nothing. One day the pain became absolutely unbearable and I was bedridden for almost a month, could not work, could not shower for a whole week, and lost 10 pounds because I could not get out of bed to feed myself. Had an MRI and it showed a severely herniated L5-S1. I was numb and the pain was so bad I’d cry every day. I was at risk of cauda equina. I had surgery less than a week after my MRI and it was absolutely life changing, no pain anymore. Sometimes conservative options are best, but in my case surgery was the only option. If all conservative approaches fail, I highly recommend a microdiscectomy. Saved my life.

I am writing this because hopefully it helps someone with a similar situation. For the last 6 months my lower back felt "out of place". I felt a pop while playing basketball and never felt the same. The first 6 weeks were excruciating. Since then, it hurts to walk around, sit too long, and needs to be relieved every few hours with stretching. Every doc prescribed me drugs or PT. I hate drugs as I am 25 and the pT did nothing for me. They said it was most likely a herniated disk... well they were wrong. Turns out, my SI Joint was locked in a position. A Chiropractor saved my life. After 15 minutes of examining me, he was able to identify the problem and all it took was one easy pop to put it back in place. Literally never thought I was going to be able to surf or play hoops again. Couldn't believe it. If you feel this way, please, go check out a chiropractor, it could seriously change your life with one pop like it did for me.

I constantly hear it crack and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t even bend down correctly. I just tried to do pogo jumps and I couldn’t because my lower left back is so fucked up.

[@futurehofer1564]

I play basketball too and I am feeling a really bad pain on my lower back to the right, I thought it was SI joint at first but I did workouts and stretches for it and the pain remains, now I believe it is herniated disk. I also feel kinda of like a bulge there, seems like it is out of place, every time I do a crossover, it hurts. When I sit too long or run to fast, it hurts too. I've been dealing with it for like 3 months now

[@AJohnson0325]

I was in unbearable back pain and either unable to walk or walking crooked for a week and I ended up going to an urgent care place. The doctor didn’t even do any of the stuff in this video. Sadly, I think a detailed physical exam is becoming a lost art in medicine. Lots of doctors just want to order expensive tests instead. What helped me more than anything was a stretch you guys showed in another video. I had significantly reduced pain within 24 hours and in 48 hours i was almost normal again. Thank you so very much!!!!!

@@DingDong2-iy7vb I injured my back again about a month ago with the same symptoms. I was absolutely miserable for a week and now I feel almost back to normal. I couldn’t go to work for a week. The first few days I had a lot of difficulty walking and the muscle spasms are like some medieval torture. The muscle relaxants make me really sleepy so I basically slept most of the week. I still have a little sciatic pain in my calf that comes and goes but it’s getting less frequent. This is like the 4th or 5th time it’s ever happened and it’s probably just going to keep happening. Sometimes it’s only moderate and sometimes it’s very severe. Thanks for asking.

[@nineteenboston498]

Just diagnosed with herniated disc, but these tests don't cause any pain. In fact, I've been walking on heels and toes exclusively because they relieve the pain. Lifting the legs in that position have been relieving the pain so I've been doing that a few times a day, which helps a lot. Now I'm confused. Going to PT and treating, but I keep getting worse.

[@DrRhyhm]

I am sure there's something pushing my nerve but I am not sure what is it, I tell you why. For the exercises: I am very flexible but if you someone tries to raise my leg up somewhere around 45° I feel tension in my upper bottom, but as soon as it goes forward to my chest(I'm flexible) there is no pain, just at that degree a tension. I can walk on toes and knees without a problem, funny enough I don't feel any pain when plum and raise my leg but when my spine is straight and raising. Sometimes I cannot raise my leg straight when I am standing but after some warm up I can with a little bit pain. Laughing, coughing, sneezing do not cause any pain. THIS GOES FOR MORE THAN 7 MONTHS NOW. In the begging my movement range was very low I couldn't even sit sometimes it got better over time now what I've written in the begging stayed and doesn't go away, I don't know why but I started feeling numbness under my knee, especially my foot AFTER 6 months, well just sometimes not always when I was walking, now I woke up 3 three days ago and the numbness magically disappeared. I am a dancer I don't feel pain when I move my hips, I can move it in a very wide range, just when I'm streching. The most easier way where I can make me feel the pain is when I bend over, NO PAIN YET, and flex my "inner" butt muscles. Also sitting doesn't bother me, sometimes helps. The X-ray didn't show anything, will go to MRI. Also if I do some exercise like for 1 hour, it gets better warmed up, but as soon as I cool down about 30 or 60 minutes later it hurts like never before if I want to raise my leg but it wears off after a night. Any idea?

When I do the first test of laying on my back and raising my leg, I feel no pain in my leg or foot. However, if I stand up and lean over at the waist, I feel pain in my foot. If I sit down and lean forward, I feel pain in my foot.

It was a sequence of misunderstandings, starting with the neurologist after the MRI-scan who had no time to ask me things and misinterpreted texts in the report of the neurologist consult before the MRI-scan. And so on, very weak work quality in the hospital, the planned surgery was clearly based on misinformation. So I placed an official complaint about it, but the handling of that was even more disappointing. The final answer report to my complaint tells that I need the surgery and that it's a life-saving surgery. While I never had that light symptom again, and I do sports a few times a week.

@@cornevanmoorsel881 How are you now

[@cornevanmoorsel881]

@@Preeti-lw9jc Fine. So the reason for the strange symptom is never found. While the doctors told I needed surgery. It made me lose some confidence in doctors work. So when the corona-vaccination-pressure started, I unsubscribed from the Dutch doctors network system, so never seen a doctor since, not vaccinated too. And never ill since. 😀

Would these tests be accurate for a herniated disc in the thoracic area as well?

[@biakds5800]

BlackSwan 987292 they are not accurate. I went to the doctor she did those tests with then she said I had nothing. Only through an MRI they can really be seen. That was my cause.

Great video guys! Thanks for the upload

I notice physical therapists try to make you think it's all in your head and that it's on you to make yourself feel better. I have a l5 slipped 12mm causing severe foraminal stenosis not being helped that there's a defect in there making it pinched plus a mild disc herniation pushing on it I cant wait for my spinal fusion!

I literally feel pain in my lower back constantly even laying, when I sit and try pulling my leg straight it just aches goes down my whole hamstring. Or when I stand for a while or walk I just start to feel the pain go down my leg into my foot making it numb. Just me trying to sit straight and leg go straight will shake crazy.

I have horrible lower back pain every morning along with my legs being weak (like you feel when you have the flu) stepping over a shoe on the ground is a scary thing some mornings it can last any where from around 2-6 hrs on a normal day but it can take a week or two to get straitened out it loosens up wish there was something I could do. I failed the slump test with both legs.one travels up to my shoulder blade the other to my middle to lower back. Also if i stoop over to do something like working on a car im limited to 3 min and then have to take 10-15 min break. it has 100% changed my life and It affects me everyday in almost everything I do. I have to plan every detail out thoroughly so I dont Piss it off otherwise it has put me down for a week before. used to be very active and still an just not like i used to be. Really takes the wind out of your sail some days!

[@JH-mq6no]

I'm 25, was doing heavy barbell curls 3 days ago at the beginning of my workout. After finishing my last set, I bent over and stretched and touched my toes and my lower back cracked 3 times. It wasn't painful and I finished my workout but I have never experienced a "crack" like that in my lower back before. Later on that night my lower back felt a bit tight and I began getting concerned. I don't feel pain when laying down or bending over and the stiffness in my lower back has subsided a bit since then but still doesn't feel quite right. I've been doing my own research and after reading various posts on the internet I'm beginning to fear the worst. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac but I know back injuries aren't anything to mess around with. I work in public safety so staying fit and active is extremely important to me but I'm worried about going back to the gym and injuring myself even further. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I did the second test It happened easily. I think I have some other pain.

[@1977Futre]

I was diagnosed with a herniated disk as the bottom left side of my back hurt and flexibility is poor. But I have never had the leg or buttock pain mentioned. Instead I developed a trapped nerve in my neck and got a numbness in my fingers on my left hand. Despite the nerve feeling like it was on the left. After exercises I think it is untrapped yet I still have some numbness in one finger. I wish there were details on the net for a herniated disc that isn't always related to the leg and such. I still have that feeling that the disc isn't healed.....Sorry to sort of go on but I guess I am venting some frustration at my situation.

[@insanelyblissful]

God, it's so difficult to find good doctors. I had this problem 3 years ago where the doctor did that leg test and she did not inform me it was a herniated disc at all. She merely prescribed some anti inflammatory as well as pain killer pills and said to give it time. When I was younger (I'm 25), I had back pain at times Bc I was heavier. I started having issues in recent years related to exercise. A weighted side bend did me in but the most severe time (when I went to the doctor) was after performing weighted Russian twists - the trainer had said I had perfect form. When I got home and got out of the car, suddenly I couldn't walk, I slouched over the car hood in pain. I like to have exercise in my life...but now I am practically crying from the pain. It is not in my leg too (as it once was), but quite severe in my lower back. I can't bend down properly without pain. I can't sit for long. It feels like a stabbing pain in my lower back. I'd like to be seen by someone who could actually help me.

What was the cause

[@jalmanza12]

Hey guys I have an L4 herniated disc and have heard many many times from PTs and other fitness people on KZbin that certain extension exercises and stretches of the lumbar spine will bring relief but when I do ANY sort of extension stretches or exercises, it just flares up my nerve like crazy for days, which is very unusual. Do y'all know why this is? Ive tried so many things and the only thing that's helped me so far is certain stretches and strengthening of the surrounding muscles (i.e. glutes, erector spinae, rectus abdominis)

[@trevorwilliams3501]

Good video. Doctors are expensive and my job doesn't offer benefits. I'm going to the doctor, but like when I go to the mechanic, I like to have an idea of what's going on before I walk in. These test were a big help. Thanks. I'm thinking a normal doctor can handle this, so I won't pick up a bill from a more expensive sports specialist. I think - and hope - my situation isn't too serious. I probably have a disc issue based on these test, that nerves is definitely getting some pressure, but I can still deadlift 315lbs down from my max of 455, so it can't be that bad.... It even went away on its own after two months out of the gym. It just came back because I immediately screwed up again after going back.

[@ksmith9961]

Those three quick tests they are the very interesting. If you have mild symptoms like periodic numbness in one foot and some lower back pain but no positive sign on these tests in the video is this possibly just nerve root irritation of the spine ? a strain? How long should one wait if you have a few or mild symptoms? Also, I have read that some people with a herniated disc may have no symptoms is this true?

[@pamelahomeyer748]

[@eurostileness]

Very helpful!

[@travismorgan103]

I’m hoping someone reads this and can help until I get in to see my doctor. I have a disc in my spine right in the center of my back that feels like it’s bulging, and it’s quite sore (not unbearable) to the touch. I constantly feel like my spine is going to snap in half right there because of the pain. I’ve also noticed my legs getting weak (that comes and goes), and I have a lot of random aches and pains all through my back, neck, butt cheeks, pelvic region and even my lower abdomen. Its anything from a dull flu-like aching in my hips to shooting pain in my spine and everything in between. Heat seems to help, but that’s temporary relief. It’s also worth noting that I was hit by a drunk driver in 2006 and left with a neck injury that was basically compared to severe whiplash. Should I be worried? I’m a high-anxiety person and these random aches and pains in my back leave me thinking the worst. I appreciate anyone’s thoughts and maybe experiences...

[@jordanzanis8405]

Travis Morgan hi Travis. I just want you to know that I myself also have severe anxiety about my health, so you are not alone. I had a herniated disc and had surgery that saved my life, the pain was horrific. When you do these tests, do you feel pain in your leg?? If so, that could point towards a herniated disc. Due to the nature of where you are feeling pain, it sounds like your body is out of alignment and could use some adjusting. I would request an MRI to see if it has something to do with your discs in your back, if it is not a disc issue, please seek out an orthopedic doctor or physiotherapist to find some relief. I hope you feel better soon, I truly do feel your pain.

[@ulrichgrelle855]

I sincerely hope you managed to resolve your pain brother. I feel you, especially when it comes to health anxiety, cause I'm just like that, overthinking stuff all the time. Hopefully we can get this sorted out and overcome our fears :)
