Good friend is a dancer. During WICKED, he slipped a disc. He uses stretches and strength-training and is good as new. Some of his therapists used pressure points and massage. Important to find a good therapist!! I’m hoping to have discechtomy very soon. It’s been over 6 months. I’ve lost 8 kilos. Good luck!!!

Had a Nucleoplasty performed ( don’t do it! It’s a sham and rarely helps… They just want ur money!!) with no benefificial results. The pain in buttocks and leg is the worst! Thoughts of suicide were defeating and draining. Sent from doctor to doctor to doctor!! It hurts to sit walk and stand and I have to go to all these places. Crazy!!

Great video! 6 months since diagnosis L5/S1 plus two other skipped discs. NOBODY but those experiencing this knows how badly this hurts! Mentally you’re drained from fighting pain, depression, anger, hopelessness. Spent months crawling and living on my hardwood floor! Hurt to sit, stand, walk. To be contd..

hello, I recently did something to my lower back, and I’m not sure what it is. Its a sharp and throbbing pain, in my lower back, and runs down my upper leg to about my knee. I don’t have any healthcare, so I’ve just been taking Ibueprophen and keeping ice on it all day. I’m hoping its just a piched nerve or something, but its been 5 days now…I can hardly stand or sit for more than 15 minutes before I feel I need to lie down again. I hope its not a herniated disk.

@chrisevilmonkey Chris- I have a herniated L5,S1 and just recieved my 1st epidural about four days ago. The first day or two was good but pain in leg is coming back. I will have to get a second epidural in two weeks. Will see. Good luck.

Thank you for this video. It explains everything I have experienced. I just had my 1st epidural and am hoping that it helps.

Awesome explanation. This is exactly what I had. However, I had th surgery. Still numb in some areas, still in pain, but most of sciatic pain is gone. Feel sorry for anyone with this. Surgery still helped me. Percocet does too, but can’t live on that forever. also a vet, so VA may help, but not what I need. This has been going on for two years now. By the way, had discectomy, week later Fusion, 7 months later redone, but with frontal surgery too.

Wow, I’m glad I found your tutorial. I just got diagnosed with a compressed disk around the same area as yours. Strange enough just slight pain but mostly numbness in my right leg all the way down to the foot, and no reflexes what so ever. I’m still able to drive and control a car with my right leg though, fortunate enough. I’m to start therapy soon and I hope it works. By the way, could I be looking at a long road to a recovery also? Just curious.

continued….and then turning around on your belly and laying flat for ten minutes. Also raising your leg straight up while laying on your back after doing the first two. And laying on your back while having someone raise your leg (the one that hurts) a little bit, about a foot off the ground, have them gently pull your leg towards them while shaking your leg slowly

continued…..surgery but she was extremely uncomfortable, or should I say scared of having surgery. She had about 5 weeks to wait before surgery. She was doing some research online about sciatica and found one of those home exercise videos. She said one of them really caught her attention, believe me or not followed those exercises for about 2 weeks and was almost completely out of pain. It included simply laying down on your back on a flat surface for about ten minutes……..continued

hey man I really feel sorry for you. You mentioned surgery, It’s been a while since you posted this video but I am strongly against surgery for sciatica. My mother has a history of sciatica, she gave birth to me and four of my siblings, so it has to be because of carelessness during pregnancy, it’s chronic. She had it last september, says it was the worst she ever had, she went to the chiro, physio, and everything you mentioned, but nothing helped, she was given a date for her……continued

Yeah, it’s the same thing. It can also be refered to as a ‘disc buldge’ as well. It’s extremely paniful too.

Does anyone know if there is such thing as slipped disc? Or is every case of “slipped” disc really herniated disc?

Hey, just want to know what the symptons are? Ive been having a sharp pain in my upper back, but people say if its a slipped disc in the upper back it should give you numbess in your neck nd fingers but it doesnt seem to do that. Might this be just a pulled or thorn muscle that can go with nature nd physio therapy?

i am 23, injured myself through a single weight lift. diagnosed with L4, 5 herinated disc. i had to quit school to rest at home. i feel like shit and I havnt been able to do the sports i used to. sports has been the biggest thing in my life so far , it really painful without it.
My doctor suggested me to get the epidural steroid injection, but i am not quite sure if thats good for me.
any comments on the injection ??

i hear you man. i hear you. i slipped a disk when i was trying to learn how to land correctly in parkour. i had done it right many times, so i got cocky and i hurt my back. it has been five months since. since my family cant afford doctors, a chiropractor has been the only form of treatment ive used, plus regular exercising and weight loss. however the pain comes back sometimes, and its so intense i sometimes even have suicidal thoughts
