I used to smoke crack, shoot heroin and coke. Landed me in psycwards, 12 rehabs and 4 years in prison. Today I'm 3 1/2 years clean, work at a rehab, and in college to be a drug and alcohol counselor. My college is also starting a COD team this fall 🙌🙌. I hope Nick stays clean dude, he's on a slippery slope. The alcohol isn't gonna fill the void bud. I used to always feel like shit, that's why I used drugs and alcohol, to feel better. I started eating healthy and working out, once I started to feeling better, the desire to use drugs went away. A little mindfulness and meditation goes a long way too

I had the same type of back pain from lifting weights. @Maniac, If the pain is going down your leg it is not a muscular issue and probably a herniated disc. Specially think this is the case because you said you can’t squat or run without more pain. Get an MRI and you will be able to tell. If it is a disc issue, Time won’t heal this issue, you need to try physical therapy. I tried to just rest without physical therapy and the pain increasingly got worse until I needed a surgery. I then herniated another disc after surgery and did physical therapy immediately and it fixed the issue. Some people are more prone to this type of injury than others, I’m only 24

Hey Nick, hopefully you or someone from Optic sees this see this. Re your back, stay away from chiropractors. It may feel good for instant relief but long term it'll fuck you up. See a decent Sports Physio, most back pain is caused by muscle tightness or imbalances. An MRI will help to see the state of the discs etc but muscle maintenance is key. Stay as active as possible, stretch, especially your lower body. I know the pain bro, I've got herniated discs but I'm still training weight and playing semi-pro basketball. It's all about maintenance!
@ryantomlin46502 жыл бұрын
I worked with a spine specialist for a while Niac. The issue you are describing sounds like you probably have a nerve being irritated or contacted in the lumbar spine. I have read what others are saying and in terms of conservative treatment, formal physical therapy to strengthen the core is usually helpful. If your pain is still there, then an MRI of the lumbar spine can help identify if a nerve is being irritated or contacted. Once they know the root of the issue, there are different steroid injections that could be considered to help with the pain going down the leg. You could also consider surgery depending on what they find on imaging. The back pain is likely coming from some muscular imbalance (strain vs sprain) or some arthritis. There are injections that can also help with that pain if it worsens. Hope this helps. Love this podcast!

I had some sciatica problems when I was in college, came and went prolly from really long days sitting at a desk/computer and standing around. There was a week where it was debilitating constant pain, and the only thing that eventually helped set it right was stretching. Constant stretches for back, hamstrings, glutes, hip flexor, nerve flossing whatever. Just continuous and it subsided over some days, but I could hardly even sleep initially.

Hi Nick, I’ve dealt with the same sciatic nerve issues and mine lasted about 3-4 months. What worked for me was going to the chiropractor and getting deep tissue massages consistently. I’m a nurse so I’m always on my feet and it just recently came back because I fell off of my therapy routines. So my advice would be to take care of it and continue to supplement your body even when it’s gone, because it will come back if you don’t. Good luck brother 💙

That relieves your back muscles, chiropractor adjustments are huge, and don't deadlift unless you are like needing to for something. just do alternatives.

Unless you literally can't move for weeks on end you shouldn't get painkilling injections, the best way to deal with sciatica is constant stretching and then most of the time the pain is gone in a couple days and seeing a physio if needed. Continuing with daily stretching afterwards as a preventative measure. Edit: Majority of family including myself have dealt with and deal with sciatica and work in healthcare. You also shouldn't sit around as Nick mentioned he did, sitting or lying down for long periods causes it to get worse.

Nerve damage in my left leg also from being hit by a car....try acupuncture n massages, trust.(I also just had cervical spine fusion(neck surgery bc 2 discs crushed n pinched my spinal cord, so now I have a titanium cage in my neck)
