They also found a rectification of the spine, atrophy of the spine and a hint of arthritis of the spine,i am 35 years old, I hope everything can return to its best, because this rectification has created a discopathy on my mid back D7-D8 and is the one that disturbs me the most. I stopped smoking, drinking, became vegetarian.. 😢😢 i send love to everyone with my same problem❤❤❤

[@bashbackpain]

Hi there when you say D7 D8 do you mean C7 C8? Your problem is in the neck or in the mid back region? The more info i have the better i can advise.

I am at 2 months and 3 weeks of lumbar disc herniation recovery , it’s very tough sometimes you feel like it won’t get better but don’t loose your faith first of all , pray and may God Heal you in the name of Jesus, stay consistent with with a healthy diet , light exercises daily and gradually increase every week put ice on it , after work out , before going to bed ,shower let hot water run down your back hot as you can handle for a 4 to 5 mins session stay as active as possible fix your postures , strengthen your glutes and lower back and core , eat anti-inflammatory foods and drinks stay very hydrated over all positive focus on you is just a time of reflection and to take out the best in you don’t give up you will see results eventually just takes patience 🙏🏼

Four months have passed since I had the MRI, they found three herniated discs and one of them is extruded, now it's very difficult for me to even work, I can survive going to the bathroom or cooking but I don't have much autonomy, I have to lying down after a while I can no longer handle the stress and I have panic attacks, I'm sleeping on the floor to try to keep my spine straight. This is a nightmare. I'm trying not to get depressed. I'm trying to try them all. I hope to get out soon.

I really don't know how could anyone go back to work having this pain with in weeks. I am out of work for 6 months. Even when the sciatica is gone the sensations and back pain can be very terrible.

[@bashbackpain]

For the majority of people they have a large reduction in symptoms in the first 6 - 12 weeks and can go back to work but for the rest of us (and i include me in that group) it took me a lot longer due to the severity of the issue :)

[@cassiedoyle2453]

I don't know either, it says when you look it up 6-12 weeks, but other things say 6 months, I had a small protrusion of 3mm x 6mm and it's been 3 months of hell, some things are starting to improve but I'm not at work or standing or walking around for 8 + hours a day at the moment and I can't imagine having to that, most comments I see people are in pain for a lot longer than the "guideline time" even my osteopath said i should be taking it easy for 6 months atleast to give it the best chance, I know people that have been experiencing pain for years because of a small protrusion, I'm sure so many people have to go back to work and hurt it more

The focus should be on decompression therapy, core work and to get you moving again. I would suggest starting with these 2 decompression stretches - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZTTd4NobN6IbZo and kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJislWipn5yEkKs this core work - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2K1oq2QpsubbMk - and these general stretches - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXKzoaeDpN-ij68 - good luck and and any more questions just let me know - [e-mail]

Hello Collin. I'm about two months into my recovery from what I believe to be a minor disc bulge (I had an MRI done when I was younger that showed a minor disc bulge in the L5 S1 area if I recall correctly. The pain and discomfort that I now feel is more dull and and like tight/tense. Is that pretty typical, in your opinion?

[@bashbackpain]

Hi Antonio, yes it is normal to feel pain and discomfort for many months after the injury occurs. It can often change in character and location as the injury heals and you become more mobile again. Typically any sciatica nerve pain for example would begin to move closer to the root (the spine) as you heal as opposed to when it first happens and it can be all the way down in your foot. Same with the back pain, it can shift in intensity, feeling and location. Obviously it should not be getting worse but there will be good days and bad days but of course when you look back at the week you want more good ones :) Just take it steady and don't push yourself to hard too soon, that's the mistake i made ;)

Hi, your advice would be greatly appreciated! I hurt my back in January. Tingling hands and toes. No sciatica leg pain but very mild glute pain on and off along with back pain. After week 10, 90% of the pain went and i only had Tingling in my right foot. I thought i was nearly healed but caused a flare up over lifting and pain returned at week 11. I went straight to the physio and doing it 8 weeks now. Pain seems to reduced but i noticed my calves randomly feel heavy some days and weird sensation in my back. Can this be part of the healing process? I find it strange how my pain is reducing but this symptom has started a few weeks ago.

[@bashbackpain]

Hi there, this is very common with the sciatica nerve and neuropathy in general when the nerves are healing from an injury etc. Any more questions please let me know :)

[@footyball66]

I lifted 30+ bags of gravel weighing 25KG each with poor technique. That weight was focused on my T12 vertebra. Although I didn't have a moment where I clearly knew I injured myself, all that happened was I had a slight twinge in my back. That was 3 years ago. I have had lower back ache on and off ever since. The most worrying part is I have had an inflamed T12 vertebra all this time, but I only really feel this pain at night 4 to 5 hours into sleep and have to move position to clear it, until waking agin every 30 to 50 minutes and readjusting my position so I can fall back to sleep. I have yet to get a definitive answer as to what's going on at my T12 vertebrae after seeing a chiropractor, NHS physio, private physio, clinical masseuse. None of the people I have seen have said it's anything serious, but as it hasn't cleared, I am concerned. Could it be the beginnings of something that will get worse, the start of a herniated disc? I have no sciatica or other issues, just the inflammation of the spine. I know my Erector Spinae and QL muscles have been a bit of a mess - tight and inflamed at times. I am not sure if the T12 inflammation could be from my QL pulling on the 12th rib which is connected to the T12 vertebrae. Another thing to add is, I did have a deep tissue massage 3 months ago and all my pain went away for 4 days, but then returned. The massage must have temporarily relaxed my muscles for a few days. I am hoping this is a sign that I just need to stretch and maybe get some regular massages and this will fix everything.

[@bashbackpain]

Hi there, have you had an actual medical diagnosis? If so can you share it with me - [e-mail] - that way i will be able to advise accrodingly. It is a good sign that the deep tissue massage gave you relief, that means you are definitely fixable :) What are you currently doing for exercise/stretching?

Hello Colin, I had a back injury after working out my hamstrings for two months and then I stopped (July) when I realized that something was wrong with the workout. I began to feel back pain for a month after I stopped doing the exercises for my Runner knee problem. I began to feel a sharp lower back pain after a party while I was holding a camera for 5 hours standing and the following day I was in a agonizing pain that I couldn’t do much due to my back pain and few days later; I ended up with my right buttock pain follow with my foot pain. I’m assuming that this is a herniated disc problem?

[@bashbackpain]

Hi there, it could be a bulging disc, a herniated disc, piriformis syndrome, a combination or something completley different! That was probably not the answer you were hoping for :) but as a best guess and this is truly a guess simply based on what you have written i would say it could be a bulging disc. So time to start treating it as such. Have you started any self rehab or exercises to help with the issue? You can reply to me at [e-mail] if you don't want to share your story here :)

Hello there, i hope you are doing well. I have been watching your videos, I really appreciate that. I started experience a little back pain a year back while working out and running not experienced any serious injury and the pain starts increasing gradually almost over the period of a year. The sciatica started 1.5 months ago. And my walk time untill it hurts and I start limping reduces to 6 7 mins now. I had an MRI and it turns out I have 11 mm s1 L5 disc bulge and and disc bulge in l3 L5 discs. I want to recover it naturally. Please help me with exercise. I was doing extension exercises and it flared up pain......

[@zain-mi6js]

@@bashbackpain yes I have checked your videos I am strictly following spine hygiene. And stopped sitting at all other than eating. What I think that my injury is old and overtime it slowly keeps aggravating and now it will not go back rather will heal in the same place. Am I right?

[@bashbackpain]

Many injuries we carry can be from many years ago and it can be hard to pinpoint when the beginning of the herniation occured. Typically the disc material will dehydrate/re-absorb/be eaten by the body over time and the disc are will scar over. Yes it will take time but you should be pain free long before the disc scars over but you need to get a get rehab program in place and practice daily spine hygiene moves that will place your body in the best position to heal itself. Feel free to ask anymore questions :)

[@bashbackpain]

Hi there, if you have the chance to start with physiotherapy then yes definitley start. Walking, although a little painful is important to keep going. Even if it is only around your block for 10 mins, something is better than nothing. Use it our lose it as the saying goes. In the meantime you can also try some McKenzie lean work as that oftens brings about sciatica pain relief - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4DGm6aubrJmfsk - have a look at this video and give some of those exercises a try :)

[@Muskiehunter4841]

Most disc herniatons that “heal” just become subclinical but are still present. Ie the herniation is there. The pain is not. Yes yes some retraction of a herniation can occur, especially disc extrusions or free fragments but for the most part, there’s not a major change in size.

[@bashbackpain]

Can you define most and major change? You need to be careful of your use of terminology and define the terms of which you speak. A herniation is where the annulus tears and disc material has been pushed out of the outer edge of the annulus. This material will, by the three hypothesies laid out in the literature, be partially re-absorbed, dehydrate, undergo phagocytosis by the body or be influenced by all three. Most or major tell people nothing. If you read up on the literature of disc herniations you will see that there is a body of inferrence that is statistcally signifcant in showing a loss in disc height and disc volume after a herniation. If the person only has a disc bulge or protrusion where the annulus fibrosus has not been torn then yes it will be highly unlikley to see a statistical change in disc volume or disc height. What is interesting is researchers still do not know if the changes in disc height/volume post herniation pre-dispose those people to a greater likelihood of degenerative disc issues later in life. A work in progress :)

Does smoking include vape pens? Thanks

[@bashbackpain]

That is a good question, as far as i know there is not a lot of research to date but this study was published recently - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36288290/ showing a decrease in blood flow with e cigarette use. One study is not a body of evidence but to be safe i would most likely quite vaping if i wanted to optimsie my healing ability. Hpoe that helps :)

[@vzeller]

Everyone says that when the sciatica starts to improve, it works up the leg and ends at the source by the herniation. What about if you didn't have back pain in the beginning?

[@bashbackpain]

Back problems can be multi factorial and the symptoms can manifest in many different ways. For me i had no back pain when the sciatica started and it started a while after the actual acute back pain. Every body is different in that regard. Generally though as the sciatica starts to improve you will feel the pain more and more towards the spine as opposed to the lower leg where you may have felt it before. What is your exact diagnosis? Will be easier to formulate an answer based on your own circumstances :)

[@vzeller]

@@bashbackpain L5-S1, superimposed diffuse disc bulge to the right foraminal area. Very slight spondy as well. I don't know if there is an annular tear or not. When sciatica started, there was zero back pain. Now as the sciatica is easing slightly, starting to feel some back numbness.

[@bashbackpain]

Hi there, yes you can have a bulging disc without a annular tear but with a herniated disc you will always have an annular tear. Sometimes bulges can be more problematic than full herniations to heal but the principles remain the same - core work, movement, mobility, decompression etc. Trust in the process ;)

[@vzeller]

@@bashbackpain Yes, full herniations are better to heal than protrusions that don't break the annulus. The body doesn't recognize anything is wrong in a buldge or protrusion. Crazy.

I am roughly 5 months into physiotherapy and I am still not able to sit for more than 5 Mins.

Hi there, actually when you look at the published literature it is normal to have "symptomatic relief" within 6 to 8 weeks - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560878/ scroll to "Evaluation" first line. symptomatic relief is just that a releif in the symptoms it does not mean the injury has actually healed. This is where some blog entries and AI written articles start to get things muddled up and it only takes one or two wrong words and the whole narrative moves to "healed" in 6 to 8/12 weeks" which is simply not true for a herniated disc.
