The Pain is Unbearable While Making Lumber for the Dog House.

[@gmorrison1962]

Any word on Ryan?

[@robertdillon9989]

I was a board-certified pain specialist for much of my career, 50% of my patients were back patients. First thing you need is an MRI to see exactly what you’re dealing with and if you have any peripheral neuropathy. Second thing that you should think about is perhaps some steroid injections. That can give immediate relief of your pain, it will also tell you if it’s safe for someone to give you massage therapy to react the muscles that reflectively going into spasm to protect the injury that you have people have blown discs. This happens as a preservative measure. You can also alternate ice and heat. Anti-inflammatories are helpful as well, but you have to know what you’re dealing with and you likely have blown discs. They do heal themselves in cases without serious intervention, and I seriously suggest against surgery unless there’s difficulty with urination or functions of elimination. Most of my patients were there because of failed back surgeries. Get your advice from the data and from board certified specialist not from KZbinrs. I had three blown discs similar to what you’re describing and all of them have healed themselves with steroid injections, epidural and trigger point injections to calm the muscles down. Maybe a little PT as well. The yoga suggestion is good once that settles down do not get surgery unless there is absolutely no other choice, and that is when your bodily functions are not under control , remember the reason their muscles go into spasm is to make you stop working because the underlying pathology is not getting a chance to heal. It is unlikely epidurals, RFL, trigger points, massage, therapy, PT and yoga, won’t help you your young active man. This will pass.

If you don't have one already, get an inversion table. You can't imagine the instant relief you will feel by stretching muscles you didn't even know were tight. I broke 4 vertebrae a few years ago and the table has helped me so much. You will sleep better too. I wish you well!!😊

Good Morning Ryan - I can certainly sympathize with your back pain. Sure, hope you can get some relief for the pain. I am 76 years old, suffered a compression fracture at L4 about 1 year ago. Have had two back surgeries and still in constant pain. Before breaking my back, I was a very active 75 year old and now I am fighting thru the pain every day just to do simple chores. My advice is, get it fixed now. If you keep doing what you are doing now, it will only get worse. Get Well soon. We care. Regards, Randy @ Coyote Sticks by Wiley

[@stevesilver3291]

8-17-24 As a lifelong back-pain victim, I have been waiting patiently for this fellow to finally succumb to his back pain which this morning it seems he may have as this is the first time in the years I've been watching him mill wood from trees found only on his property then erect structures to show us on Saturdays that this is the first Saturday he has failed to show. I assume he has succumbed to his lower back pain and may even be seeking medical intervention. I hope that this is not the last we see of this gentleman. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Okay, get back to work!

[@stevesilver3291]

Or, he's gone to Bi-Weekly showings of his progress. He showed last week but didn't yet this morning so this may be a new trend for him.

[@kencampbell2187]

Ryan , I too have had back issues for years. I use a simple back brace when working out side. I also believe in using Vicks Vapor Rub. First I take a hot shower, then rub on the vapor rub. Then wrap up to keep back warm. I get up the next morning and the pain is gone. The pain will come back but keep applying the vapor rub. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. Good luck

My Bernese puppy is the same way, very smart sometimes but other times, not so much. He also loves to get the river rocks out of our landscape and carry them off. Love the look of the dog house. I hope they are able to get you fixed up in your back soon.

[@brendacoates3354]

Ryan not sure if you have access to a swimming pool but water exercises are so good for healing the back. I had ruptured discs and they wanted to fuse my lumbar vertebrae. I took a year off and lived in an apartment complex with an indoor pool. Everyday swimming for almost a year. Had another MRI and my back was healed. Steroid injections do work for the pain in some people but not everyone. Maybe initially get a couple and see if they work but don't rely on them long term. I had a Dr at Mayo tell me that they will eventually deteriorate the bone tissue. At any rate hope you heal up soon and get back to what you love to do.

[@paulwilliams7527]

Everything alright with you this week. I'm so used to having a new video out every Saturday morning and I was looking forward to watching one today and nothing so far. Hope your back is feeling a little better

[@bigbuxdown]

First off, I want to thank you and your miniature mastodon for the great videos every week. As far as your back, I went through the same thing from about 40 years old to 50 years old. At 50 I got a fusion done at my L5-S1, and in that regards It was the best decision ever. What I found that helped me during those years, was what my physical therapist had taught me do, and that was "arches". You lay flat on your stomach, and arch your back, but with leaving your hips touching the ground I did 3 sets of 12, with a minute or two rest between. Those arches, and walking are the only two things that ever helped. Hopefully they can help you. My PT explained it as putting the jelly back in the doughnut lol. Give it a try.

Good morning ☕️☕️, just wanted to run this by you before you have surgery on your back. All the pain you talk about on your back I have the same problem with my lower back and got it just by binding over to wash my feet. I went to a chiropractor it turned out that I had a problem with my disc now my chiropractor is a very good doctor. It took six weeks of adjustment and now I feel 99.8%better. I know all chiropractor are not that great but if you can find one I would recommend it before surgery. Good luck with whatever you decide. Mark D. Florida

Hi Ryan. For my bad back flare ups I use a small, battery operated device by Intelect called TENS. I stick the 2 electrode patches onto my skin near the affected area, then select the electric pulse that best suits the area of pain and in a short time…in my case…it’s better!

I’ve found that the “chirp wheel” does better than inversion tables but also you might consider acupuncture for non invasive approach. Absolutely get an MRI to see what’s going on and then maybe chiropractic if the situation allows for it? I hope you start feeling better soon!

I totally understand your pain. Several years ago I dealt with a herniated disc and there were days I thought I would die from pain then was afraid I wouldn't. I did get results from a reflexologist. Luckily, all of a sudden one day when I woke the pain was greatly reduced. I hear sometimes that happens. It took some months to fully recover. Sure hope you get relief from your pain.

I had back pain for years from herniated discs. I finally started going to a chiropractor on a weekly basis and also got a new mattress. I now have no pain. When your spine is in alignment it makes a huge difference. I’ve had MRI but a simple x-ray will tell a lot to the chiropractor.

[@advertisercommerce6990]

Sciatica, it sounds like, had the exact same, could lift anything using my legs, but once I bent over, severe pain. Went to Doc's, sent me for physical therapy during the healing process of about 6 weeks. Low and behold, pain went away with no meds, and physical exercises therapist gave me to do.

Ryan you should build a lumber yard. Use a skid steer to make a large flat area. Build a kiln to dry the wood out with. Drag and stack your logs after delimbing. Make a place to strip the bark off. Make some super strong saw horses. And stack all your firewood after cutting and splitting.

[@isaacspath5939]

sounds like sciatica, I could be wrong but I've had it for over twenty years now. When the pain happens there is a trick, to ease the pain. I remember it as GOOD DOOR. You go to a door jam or any surface that can hold your weight and place the good side into the door or whatever object and lean to the good feeling side. When you do it stretches the the side that is irritated. There is even videos on KZbin, Good luck my friend

I started going to a chiropractor almost 40 years ago. A vertebra had popped out of place. Over the years I learned from him what to do and most importantly...what NOT to do. I have NOT been to see him in about 10 years because I know what to do when I have problems with my back. Alternate ice and heat will help. A lot of people DON'T believe in Chiropractors. I am proof that they can help get you back to normal. So .......go see a CHIROPRACTOR!!!!!! Just my 2 cents worth. Long time Patreon supporter. 👍👍😎❤️❤️❤️

[@wookiejesusofnazarethkashy1940]

My father was a chiropractor. He died of a stroke on Father’s Day weekend 2023. He is always missed, but especially when I have back pain. He was a miracle worker. He actually worked on a little dog that was dragging his hind legs for months and got him walking again. He ended up having back surgery and it only helped for about a year. He started doing dry needling (acupuncture) on his scalp and was able to tune it in to where he was nearly pain free again for a couple years before the stroke. A good chiropractor is worth their weight in gold.

[@larryarnold5017]

My question is what mixture are you using to treat your lumber and kill the bugs. Love your videos. We took a break watching for a few months. Not sure. Why?

[@jamesanderson2381]

Sorry to hear about your back. Sounds like the herniated disc I had. Luckily I was living in New Zealand where the physical therapy is very good. I avoided needing surgery through good treatment. One aspect was a counterintuitive exercise that involved bending backwards to push the disc back in and take the pressure off your spinal cord. Second aspect was a pilates instructor who taught me about 'scooping' which basically helps engage you front core muscles whenever you move to reduce the stress on your back. These both worked for me without surgery or injections. You situation may be different but just sharing my experiences with similar symptoms. Best wishes!
