Bulging Disc: Proven 5-Step Rehab Plan (Explained by a Specialist)

[@deboraiurasoc4044]

Hey everyone. I just wanted to encourage you guys to not lose hope because disc bulges CAN heal. I'm in my 20s and I was in major pain every day for about 6 months from a L5-S1 disc bulge (confirmed after having an MRI on my lower back). I was in horrible pain every day, the whole day, no matter what I was doing.. sitting, walking, trying to fall asleep etc. Sometimes it would take me even 2-3h to fall asleep because the pain was so bad. I had constant back pain and pain in my right leg (especially my thigh, around the joints and calf). I am sharing this so you can understand that I was in such bad pain and I healed! And I know how desperate I was to find some advice from someone that actually healed from this so I hope this is gonna help someone.. I am not 100% healed, I still feel pain once in a while.. for example after sitting for too long (ex 8h at work) or if i don't move my body for a couple days (like jogging or working out) but I would say I am 95% healed and for me it's like a miracle, after living in pain for 6months! I've been 95% pain-free for about 1 month and a half!! Things that I tried and worked for ME: 1. I changed my diet. I tried to adopt an anti inflammatory diet: - the only meat I eat is chicken (max 5 times a week). You can also eat turkey, it's actually even better; - I stopped eating sweets, fast food, processed foods.. especially icecream, chocolate bars, sodas, aliments that have added sugars (and most of them have it, check labels before eating sth), pre-cooked/frozen foods etc. - I ate a lot of vegetables&fruits (fried, steamed, smoothies etc).. about 70% of what I ate was vegetables and fruits - less white flour, white rice and more whole wheat flour, brown rice etc; You can find a lot of info about anti inflammatory diets, recipes etc online. I started an anti-inflammatory diet about 1month before my pain started to decrease. 2. I made an anti-inflammatory juice and I drank 1 shot a day for about a month. If you want, you can ask your dr first, but I felt ok the whole time..after all it's just natural ingredients. If you want the recipe for the juice let me know and I'll write it down in the comments. (it's mostly ginger, turmeric, aloe vera, apple cider vinegar etc). I feel like taking this juice helped very much, i started feeling some improvement after the 1st week. Idk if it was specifically the juice cuz I was doing more stuff so I am not sure. 3. I started moving my body almost everyday. I would either go jogging (1-2mi) or even just walking for 2-3mi. Or I would just do some exercises at home for 10-15 min. There are a lot of videos with exercises online, but one thing i wanna mention is to find exercises for your specific disc bulge cuz some people would just say "stretches for back pain/ disc bulge" but they can make ur pain worse, cuz they are not good for your specific disc bulge. As I was saying, mine was a L5-S1 and 1 thing you MUST stop doing is bending down with your back or lifting things with ur back. IF you have to bend down or pick sth up, bend ur knees and go down on your heels if that makes sense, don't bend your back cuz that's pushing the bulge even more on your nerves and that causes the pain.. The dr explains everything really well in this video . I recommend watching the whole video as I tried to implement everything he was saying in this video and I feel like it really helped me. 4. I went to chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy this whole time (and still going). I started with 3 times a week, then 2times a week and now once a week. 5. ! I am doing Spinal Decompression. (I did it 6 times in about 1m and a half. Now I am doing it once every 2 weeks but this is sth for ur chiropractor to decide.) I feel like this also helped a lot cuz I've started feeling improvements since I started doing it. In the beginning for about 2 weeks it felt like my symptoms got even worse and after that I started feeling a lot better. But again, I was trying out so many things that I don't know what helped or what made it worse. But you should definitely try the spinal decompression. 6. I took a natural supplement that my chiropractor recommended. It's called Devil's claw and it's literally $8 at Walmart. I starting taking it about a month before I started feeling better. 7. I tried to sleep more on my back, or on my side with a pillow between my legs, I bought a cervical pillow, I tried to have a better posture etc. Also I feel like it's really important to have a good and positive attitude. I was really down and discouraged in the first 3 months and in those months I literally didn't feel any improvement.. I was in major pain the whole time. I really think that the body can't heal when you're just upset all the time.. it's like you're not allowing it to heal. I know it's hard to be positive when you're in such bad constant pain.. but try to make an effort, it's gonna be worth it. And also, I believe in God and I constantly prayed to receive healing and I declared healing over myself in Jesus' name. And I would thank for the healing that I received (even if at that time I was in pain). Believe you will receive healing. Have faith! God doesn't want you to suffer. As I was saying, there are a lot of things that I tried so I can't really point to sth and say that that's what you need to do, but I really hope this is gonna help someone. I would've loved to find some tips like these when I was struggling with so much pain. PS: It was my personal decision to not take any painkillers or other medication during these 6 months. I think I only took about 5 ibuprofens in this whole time. I can say that my healing process was 99% natural: chiropractic treatment, diet changes etc. That's what I was looking for and it definitely works! If I missed something I will definitely update this comment. Let me know if anything helped you or if u have any questions. I really hope this will help! Take care and God bless you guys.

Hello Will & thank you for all of your incredible knowledge and support here on KZbin. I’m extremely grateful to have found your channel. I have not found a video from you that addresses over trained glutes being a problem. I only see you speaking on weak glutes. I’m an athlete who was in a car accident. Bulged disc and tear l4-5 and once I healed ( 9 months later) I got back into weight training and caused myself to have piriformis syndrome and it’s been excruciatingly painful for 7 months. Would you please consider doing a video based on this challenge when you have time? That would be amazing. Thank you again, Cheers

[@annataylor6658]

Thankyou will. You are a gift from the heavens Iv had 18 years of pain from an accident that caused 2 ruptured discs. Ever since, I get horrendous muscle spasms problems with my disc at L5 and awfully painful inflammation with the same symptoms as others talk about in the comments I have flare ups at least twice a year. MRI shows signs of disc herniation and severe degeneration at L5. My dr describes this as “ just wear and tear and nothing to worry about” When my back is at its worst, I cannot even get myself to the toilet which I’m sure drs wouldn’t describe as just wear and tear if it was happening g to them. My most recent spasm and flare up lasted 13 weeks and I’m still struggling ( 4 months later) drs just give me muscle relaxants and anti-inflamation pills Iv been to physio many times over the years but it’s very generic and they clearly don’t understand because they try to make me do all the things you say are to be avoided Iv been watching your videos for around 2 weeks now and my improvement is unbelievable Iv practiced ashtanga, kundalini and somatic yoga for around 30 years (on and off) so I have some understanding of my own body -Iv been told by physiotherapists in the past I must be doing it wrong or I wouldn’t be in pain like I am. That made me doubt myself and feel very bad even though I know my practice always helps Iv also been told he drs and physiotherapists it’s all in my mind. 🤬🤬🤬 Your knowledge proved to me I should have trusted my instincts and I wasn’t doing it wrong after all I cannot put into words how valuable your knowledge is. Thankyou 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰and god bless you And I hope everybody who’s commented who is struggling with pain heals soon. You are clearly helping so many of us 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 ❤️❤️❤️ Xxx

Hi there - I'm so sorry to hear about your injury and the pain you have been living with, I can imagine how difficult that has been for you! I'm so sorry you've had such poor experiences with health professionals too, the worst thing is feeling like you aren't being listened to when you know yourself and your pain better than anyone else. That is really fantastic to hear that my advice has been able to offer real improvement, that's what my work is all about! I hope my videos can continue to offer some relief and I wish you all the best :)

I wish I could have someone to help me understand as much as you did in this video. Big thanks

As always, great advice 👍. I have been concerned about overdoing my exercise because I don't want the pain to reoccur. However, I've had to push through a bit of nerve discomfort to gain improvement and strength. My bulging disc doesn't bother me much now, and the sciatica is improving. I look forward to your videos to see if I'm on the right track. Thank you Will 😊

I have cold ultrasound on my lower spine each week and hands on massage and joint mobilisation. I have to lay down and pull my stomach inwards every morning. I don’t overdo walking around. My job has suffered as I cannot sit for a long time. It’s been extremely difficult. I m going for another mri and consultation. Hope to get steroids injected. The nerves are highly irritated. Sleeping is difficult for me, I struggle sleeping on either side as discs are bulging on both sides and my muscles are weak on my hip flexors and back so it starts to tighten and pull and then makes the nerves more irritated. Just want to say private health care is the only way I have got the assistance and diagnosis. The nhs scanned and didn’t even see the lower back disc problems. I was told it was all muscular and I was wasting their time.

[@angelJ2023]

Hello. I have mixed connective tissue disorder and many different issues. I have bulging protruding discs all throughout my spine. The pain can be surreal sometimes. I hate taking medication I don’t even like to take Tylenol. However when I’m truly inflamed I will take a meloxicam. If I’m not mistaken it’s a prescription anti-inflammatory and it works wonderfully.

[@brendastolecki4755]

I think the Dr is trying to say that, too. My pelvis feels like a vise is wrappped around it, affecting both legs. THAT is not painful, but it affects my ability to move my legs. I can lift them but they feel like 100 pounds. It seems like the autonomic part isn't working. I have to concentrate to make them move. This occurs when I stand or walk upright too long. THEN the pain sets in. I guess it is the pressure on the discs. But they say I do not have any pinched nerves. The Drs are smarter than us, and MRIs don't lie, (without dye to see the nerves)....It must be all in my head. 😡😡

I am on day 4 with a herniated disc. the pain, even with steroids and prescription pain killers, is unbearable: I cannot sit, stand, cough, laugh, sneeze, I cannot move at the moment. I liked how this guy covers everything and says to rest until the body can recover. my doctors left me with the impression that I needed to stay moving. which was frustrating and confusing because I literally could not move. im surprised I did not pass out from the pain. it seemed as if they wanted me to start physical therapy as soon as possible when I couldn't even get to the Hospital without being carried. maybe I misunderstood them. it makes sense: let your body recover a bit first from the injury then move your body once pain permits

@@zintheticez1409 thank you for asking. yes a lot has changed compared to day 4. I don't even know where to start. I would say that after 7 months, I look like a normal person on the outside: I can walk, run, stand, even carry. however, today what gives me pain is sitting, sleeping, weight lifting, bending over, carrying a 30 pound ruck for 6miles. Consequently, I have decided to push back my return to weight lifting. so compared to day 4, the difference is a night and day difference, but I am still not where I want to be or need to be for what I want to do, police officer. I hope I just need more time. I will also add that this injury does not only cause physical agony but also a mental health crisis. at least for me it did because I was and still am unemployed, and all I could was nothing. all people see you do is eat, and lay down over and over again for months. and you begin to feel useless. it's a very dark time, but I do believe I am rounding a corner or seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

[@sparkles7629]

What do you mean by a bulging disc? There are 4 types of spinal disc herniation: disc extrusion, protrusion, prolaps and sequestration... A bulg is a prestage of a herniation and doesn't cause any symptoms. So when you say a bulging disc, it's confusing, a protrusion and an extrusion are not the same degree of a herniation and can't be treated the same way.

Can i take online consultations from you and take an online rehab plan from you

[@kgil35]

You mention 80% of people have pain bending forward. What if you can bend forward but not backwards?

[@offthegrid2635]

I have sciatica 3 weeks now, and I notice. Is it normal that my right leg was shrinking a little bit.? Please answer.

[@haeskenhoff]

Yeah, probably because you are less active because of the pain

[@offthegrid2635]

@@haeskenhoff but my left one was ok in size. Only The right leg was shrinking.

Hi mate, I messed up my back 2 weeks ago now, I didn't initially have any sciatic pain it was excruciating at my back, it got worse and now I've chased the sciatica up to my glute, sometimes it's just gone completely and sometimes it comes back and goes down to my thigh or even calf. Most of the time it's gone though. The pain is only about a 4/10 but it is really annoying and my back is in a lot of pain. My physio said she thinks it's a disk issue but the NHS probably won't give me an MRI as I can walk about and such, it has improved loads in just 2 weeks so do you think it'll go away as it's a very mild case. I am only 19 so I'm afraid that this will be with me for the rest of my life.

[@Preeti-lw9jc]

Hey , how are you feeling now, is the pain better, are you okay??

[@SK-cz1cj]

[@Bushman777]

[@cliffcarlo115]

I have a bulging disc L3,L4,L5,S1.its soo irritating evey day. Will it get heal or it will remain like this everyday. Please someone give me an answer.

[@athuldasmk8714]

It will heal

[@jayhay1237]

I suffered through severe sciatica ten years ago. It will get better eventually. The best thing I have discovered is a low inflammation diet. Been learning and applying keto for the past year and finally feel like I can fully recover from that sciatica.

[@louisedawnauthor6590]

Where can we access these exercises in stage three? I have no clue what a clam is. Lol 😂

[@cynthiahillian]

He has videos with the exercises.. Clam is laying on your side.. Bended knees legs together. Lift the upper leg, kinda clam like😂 Hope that helps

[@IsisBedir]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@The-Monotheist]

I have only one question , has anybody ever recovered from disc bulge?

[@franciscoortiz3825]

I suppose that people who recover simply stop watching these videos and move on with their lives

[@The-Monotheist]

@@franciscoortiz3825 i think you are right . These videos make us exaggerate our issues & then there seems to be no cure even when the issue is normally curable.
