Yeah sometimes I just don't want to get out of bed because I know what's going to happen... I start moving the left leg first then something get stuck in my low back and can't move until I hear that crack... That's so annoying. People don't realize how back pain can destroy your life. And when you have a day off pain it changes everything...

Thank you so much..

[@jasminejennings8908]

Crazy how natural this is when you hurt yourself or in pain. Before watching these videos I've done all of these!

[@maryamcoco3683]

Im lying on by back with severe pain trying to get up 😢 thank you for this God bless you 💗

[@user-yu7sz2sd6s]

What I would give to move around in bed and twist and turn freely. Ohh the log life 🙁...

[@dianehopps8770]

I’m diagnosed with acute left sided sciatica. Dr. gave me prescription to help. Also, my mattress which is not that old, is a nightmare. It’s being replaced. I actually had my husband go to our new camper and bring the new mattress into our living room. Wow, what a difference one night made. I finally got some sleep! Pain level went way down. I had two bad nights trying to get up off my regular bed and I couldn’t even move! I was sobbing in pain. The mattress from the camper is temporary, but it’s helping a great deal because I can move, rather be stuck in the mattress. I’m getting an extra firm mattress, and some physical therapy.

[@cprfamily6407]

I am currently in bed with a sprain facet joint and watching your video. Thank you, it's a life saver on how to get in and out of bed.

[@jeffdalton3720]

I just love you guys. Your videos are just informative and easy to follow. They saved my life when my sciatica took me down for a week. Keep up the good work cuz I will be here watching.

[@lisasunshine7654]

Awesome and extremely helpful video! I literally fell out of bed this morning because I didn’t realize I had overworked and hurt myself yesterday. I was glad to hear you say that the disks will compress as you’re moving around that first hour in the morning. I knew that if I took my time it would loosen up and it did. I’m so grateful for your videos and it is giving me hope for getting out of bed tomorrow!

[@entertainment4523]

How r u now

[@mariscott6528]

Thank you my back went out a few days ago I’ve been in so much pain moving in bed, getting out and getting in the car I tried this to get out and it worked!!❤

I slide off the bed and bend down using knees (no pressure on back) and then rise.

[@high_fructose_corn_syrup]

No way! No matter HOW i tried i couldntttttt get out of bed, guess it was stupid to lay down and hope it was gonna help it feel better. I had to pee too lol tried for over an hour on my own. My partner got home from work, tried helping me out which tho painful usually works. This time it made me scream bloody murder, my leg was ZINGING so bad i couldnt put it back down, screamed to my partner thru tears PUSH MY LEG DOWN!!!! I HATE taking any meds but i finally caved in and i asked for a muscle relaxer. About 30 minutes later tho painful, i could tolerate the excruciating pain enough to get up. By the time i made it to the toilet, i seriously almost peed myself lol and Honest to god, i thought i was going to have to have an ambulance at my house to help me get up. Im only 44 btw

[@theirishcailin333]

I'm 41, had a car accident when I was 23 and have been in pain every day since. Ranges from mild/moderate to where I can barely walk. I can't remember what it's like to be pain free. I have herniated and bulging discs that never healed and I can't do normal every day things that many take for granted. I can't play with my 2 small children, can only walk about a mile, can't stand for long, wash dishes, bending leaves me in excruciating pain and I'm just so fed up. I'd fly out to yous if I thought you could fix me. I also roll to get out of bed - thats when I'm actually able to turn in the bed. I just want an end to it and to live my life 😢

[@sandrar5118]

Same here. My doctor told me that one day I'd wake up in pain and to remember that it all stemmed from the car accident

[@marlonseijas7948]

This is just superb, I have been researching "how do i relieve sciatic nerve pain?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Sonictoria Stupefying Smasher - (search on google )? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering how to stopping your sciatica without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.

[@melodyebuskin5490]

Please look into Atlas Orthogonal Upper Cervical chiropractic. It’s been amazing for me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKvVYoyba9NqhcU

Man I'm going thru this now 28 no accidents my whole lower body is slightly shifted and the pain is bad I went from working 50 hours weekly to 0 daily tasks as all a challenge. Has your pains gotten better yet?

Thank you very much for this video! I have had a really bad back pain from snow shoveling and it kept getting worse. 😢 After finding this video, I tried the method of getting out of bed and it is really helpful!

[@VioletFlame-Ivy]

Guys I don't know if it's just a temporary thing... But it's the first time I got out of bed without a lot of tightness in my back and pain in the leg. I had no idea a simple way of getting out of bed can be so important.

[@ChaplainDeanna]

Thank you.

Thank you sir this helped me a lot today while waking up from bed no/less pain whatsoever..

Hi Bob and Brad your videos have been very helpful to me I get neck and upper back pain too that makes me feel quite nausus is that sciatica too and do you have any advice on what I can do to help it many thanks for your channel guys 👍😊

[@theseventh5204]

In bed after having an epidural blood patch, it turns out I'd already figured out the best way of doing things. It's definitely the second demonstration that helps the most and what I've figured out myself. The first has too many opportunities of twisting and doing damage.

[@solidfuel0]

Pain hits after standing up

[@aminuddinahmad5196]

It good to write the conversation/instructions for hearing impaired..!

[@sriniseshan9888]

Good to know these techniques... But then I have sciatica pain that radiates down to butt/thigh/shin.... Here the pain is more on butt/thigh/shin and it's very difficult to lift the leg that has pain . Nor I can lift the pain free leg as then I have to put my body weight on the leg that has pain... What is the technique to adapt in this situation?

[@hungrymogwai7342]

i havent slept in a bed in 3 years

[@busymoms]

What if you can not reach the floor..

[@fouziafouzzzo7072]

I used to use same method to getting of my bed.

I have so much trouble getting out of bed :(

[@zrobert66]

Melanie Garrison : Hi sorry to hear that. If you can buy/save some $ - I recommend you purchase their mattress from SleepOvation 😳👌🙂 your back pain will be the thing of the past and you’ll sleep so good.

[@angel8840]

Bob & brad ⭐️⭐️ u two r like pepper & salt. You remind me of penn & tells. Lol😂😆because you hardly say much while the other one says loads. And ur both a funny. 😂

[@mtbboy1993]

So I have been getting out of bed the correct way. I wish there was a way to solve my neck, back getting messed up in my sleep. I basically need a chiropractor to follow me everywhere I go. I also try to lay in bed in certain position to get better at certain misalignment, and use appropriate position and pillows for support like you shown in another video, in a lot of the cases it helps. but that's just misalignment, which I suffer from very often and not only in my back and neck.

[@alexandriachristian7118]

I think I had saw signs when I had my son, I had bad cramps, pain going up my spine. I used to take muscle relaxers. Now I’m 37 and to drive I thought it was a hamstring muscle, but then it was hard to stretch out my leg the cramps, stiffness travelled to my calves. I had to tip toe to drive.

[@xphyle]

LITERALLY ME every single morning and night. UGH. Plus when I stand up in the morning and my spine starts to compress my lower lumbar area where my issue is, is in pain for about 30 minutes as I'm hobbling around. Then it finally releases and I can function. Why is there so much pain for 30 minutes when I stand up after getting out of bed each morning? L5/S1 herniation here.

[@fergie250769]

Thats me every winter...im standing up now watching this waiting for it to go away...so frustrating...aaggggg

[@darnitthelma4247]

I am same at me…think it’s my sciatic nerve. Three mornings now but function pretty good through day😢 How are you now ?

@@darnitthelma4247 completely healed here thank god. I injured it weight training and it just took time. I was miserable. I'm back in the gym doing everything as I had done. I still take it easy tho because if I overdo it, that area get's sore the next day. Thank god it's better tho because I was a cripple when it was bad.

Why get out of bed at all? There's nothing I'm capable of doing with a bad back anyways--- not work, not anything for pleasure--- so why not just stay in bed? That's essentially what my life's come to

Lord willing, this will be over soon!

My left arm is incased in a hard cast from mid hand to half way up, upper arm, for a badly broken wrist. To arise, I must turn to the left, but have no ability to support myself with left arm/hand. Any suggestions? This morning, I was screaming in pain. Compression fracture L5. Waiting for appt. with Neuro surgeon.

[@quebie77]

When you have DDD (severe-lumbar & moderate-cervical), spinal stenosis, bursitis of the hip and a bad case of sciatica; rolling in and out of bed has become a chore to me...although I still have to roll no matter what. Most of the times, my husband has to get me out of bed before he goes to work from where I am stuck and can't move in any direction no matter how hard I try.

[@MasteringHow-To]

Ugh. Thank stinks. I also roll.. and push my self up. Hope you get better soon

I can't even straighten my body in the morning so this definitely won't work. McKenzie is the opposite of what I need from what I was told after previous MRI.

sounds good but the beds aren't as high as your table........

[@carmenchandler8336]

I have been doing the getting in and out of bed method for back pain (the edge of the bed is to my right when im on my stomach and sometimes i crawl to the end of the bed), but my left leg's sciatica is so bad that the second my left foot touches, not hits, the floor my left leg catches fire and it brings me down to my knee, sometimes having then to crawl as quickly as I can in the morning before I pee myself. I'm 31, DDD L3-S1, herniations L/R L3-L4, L/R L4-L5 L L5-S1. Severe deg.discs L5-S1 with stenosis. I'm doing my best, but because I am not 40 and am overweight they won't do surgery. Any ideas?

[@cinmac3]

This info tightening my abs hurts my back. I don't know when I wake up, my thinking might not whatever I need to do, but, I am very concerned though

[@BBRubyT]

What you get in bed that way, how do you get your covers?

[@stephennordlinger4112]

I broke my back in the Marines. I sleep on the floor, because a soft bed doesn’t support my back. To get up in the morning I roll over to my stomach, then up to hands and knees, then use a cane from there on up. By the way I am writing this at 4am, I am awake due to the nonstop pain.

What’s the best position to sleep, when you have back pain.

On your side

[@ankitpareek7271]

Flat on your back, with a pillow under your knees, or on your side, with knees folded. NEVER on your stomach.

I am not sure why but sometimes I wake up and bed looks like I have been shooting a possessed by demons scene. that probably does not help my back or neck, sleeping while moving around. it does not always happen but happens sometimes, pillows out of bed, matres several cm out of bed. Maybe I am dreaming of mountainbiking😀
