Yes well we are not …
Yes well we are not disagreeing, there is a time for everything it seems.
My point about appropriate exercise is that even if immediate relief is minimal the lower back area in particular requires constant mobilisation to help avoid worsening the complaint. The other thing about it is that there are various anatomical reasons why the problem occurred in the first place and the slow but sure correction of those issues are crucial.
No doubt this form of surgery is less invasive than previous.

IT is heartening to see you have relief now. I would mention one MAIN thing, that is exercises per se never relieve pain on their own, unless they are for weak muscles. Pain coming from NERVE needs medication or occasionally surgery. IT is well known that natural resolution of pain is known, but in present day world with economic considerations are heavy both for patients and for surgeons so surgery is chosen at times as a rapid recovery tool. All the best!!!!

Interesting video …
Interesting video and even more interesting the comments so for what it’s worth here’s my story.
My case was so bad 8 years ago I actually had to be rushed to hospital and had “open” surgery 2 days later. Instant pain relief but the complications from surgery took me 4 years to deal with so this form of surgery looks way better.
Major relapse 1 year ago, this time I chose no surgery, no medications, just specific exercises. Extreme pain for 11 months but has now come right and very strong.

Omg! This is not microdiscectomy is it? Im going for that surgery in two weeks coz of a 7mm disc herniation. The 1st part of your video is scary but the last part is crazy amazing.

Where do they operate? I live in Norway, and here doctors say that this operation has bad prognosis. So pain killers and lame exercises here I am…

worse. Also use ice for 20 minutes at a time, 3 times a day. If you see a chiro he’ll probably set you a rehab routine including exercises and ice packs.
Congrats on graduating… I’m an undergraduate who is taking this year off because of my disc issues – it sounds tough if you have to work full time with a bad back, you may have to take a lot of time out ideally to fix this if you have to do strenous things… what sort of work do you do?
Yes, North rles =) goodluck

If it’s a disc …
If it’s a disc problem, it is going to be long term…. in a couple of week’s it’ll be 7 months now for me. You’ll have to come up with a routine that allows you to control your symtpoms and eventually allow them to ease and fade. That’s what I’m doing and still it won’t go away! It can be a very stubborn problem to fix.
See a good chiropractor if you can and push a GP for an MRI. You say it’s acute, if so, it’s really important now that you stop doing ANYTHING that feels like it’s making it..

Yeah it usual is …
Yeah it usual is gradual. It took 3 months after I originally hurt my back and many doctor/physiotherapist visits (giving bad advice) before one day in March I woke up with sciatica down my leg – I’d finally herniated it. Mine is typically on the left.
Ouch, that sounds really bad. When did the pain in the leg first come on? Walking is good if you can manage it and you need to do some extension exercises to try and centralise that pain. Does it hurt to bend forward, raise the leg out straight?

I do a lot of …
I do a lot of walking too with the dog and in my job, so when it comes on it means I am useless for work.
I don’t think an MRI would be worth it until I see a chriopractor which is -tbh- what I should have done before.
I was at Hull/York -my course demanded to go between the two- but I graduated last year so I work full time now. Live down in Gloucestershire now. I sometimes miss the north…better nightlife!

I had some other minor back complaints before and then all of a sudden it just…came on.
I was off for 3 weeks and it did improve a bit etc.
My pain is on the right side and it’s not the spine but to the right of it. If I walk it feels weak and pain is at the top of the leg above the buttocks. It will just get pain shooting down the leg and will give way so I fall over.
Mostly it’s pain and sorness, not a whole lot of tingling.
I may go see a chiropractor tbh. It’s bad today so i’m led down.

he diagnosed the problem properly in March this year with a physical examination, after the GPs and physios had me over (‘back strain’). I do exercises for it every day and a lot of walking. If you pressure the NHS you can get an MRI relatively quickly – though they are just slow and unhelpful as a rule (esp where money is involved).
Nope, no surgery. Mine is improving just really slowly. Out of work/uni completely to get it better. I see you’re at Hull/York Uni? I’m at Leeds =)

How long have you …
How long have you had it for? I’ve been out completely for about 6 months, that is with sciatica and the disc injury, though I had back problems since December 08.
Do you have a lot of back pain or leg pain? My symptoms are almost exclusively tingling which comes and goes. No shooting pain anymore, sometimes a little back pain/soreness.
Yeah it sucks to have it so young… but age is on our side! I have no insurance but have seen a private chiropractor has been really good and (continued)

Yes, they aren’t the best here.
I had a large period off work and ‘rested’ and it didn’t so a lot, but I spoke with physiodirect and they were quite helpful, gave me excercises that could help out.
It’s not a long-term fix though and I am having another ‘episode’ of back pain where it will probably culminate into more time off.
I’m only 22 so it’s a bit of a shitter. May just go with bupa, at least that way I may get someone qualified and useful giving out advice!
I presume you will have surgery

really sorry to …
really sorry to hear about your disc probs. i have a herniated disc, l5/s1, t oo. I see you are in the uk? The GP’s me over too… from what I’ve heard this is very common especially when it comes to back and disc problems… they completely misdiagnose, just say it’s muscle ache, posture, blah blah, and fail to even mention to possibility of a disc or scan. They are bastards and caused me to mess my back up. I’m only 19.
Anyways I’d recommend an MRI if you haven’t had already. Goodluck

Well you were …
Well you were correct, i’ve been taken meds and the pain remains. Spoke to doctor again today and have been signed off of work for a week. They have increased the dosage but he did mention the nerve roots in leg. So I’ve got to lie in bed flat on my back for a week and see what happens then. What a thrilling existence this is!

The pain in leg is …
The pain in leg is due to changes around nerve roots in leg. It is called neuralgia and is not relieved by ibu or diazepam. U may try gabapentin. If pain is more below knee and is sharp cutting and well localised associated with numbness or tingling u may need an mri to understand it. if pain is more in back than leg then u may do back bending exercises in prone [face down] lying down . That is u raise ur shoulders when u are lying face down and look up to sky.pain may centralise and stop.

LAbackandbody …
LAbackandbody should stop promoting his obscure works on here.
as for disc theory.
I think I have acute disc prolapse. I saw two of my official GP’s who said it was my posture causing pain, then the other day I could not get out of bed or move my right leg as the pain was excrutiating. I am currently on co-codamol, ibuprofen and diazepam to relieve the pain but i find it gets less effective each day and I worry what will happen when it runs out? Will I need an MRI or what would you suspect?

I have the same thing…. 2 herniated discs but I forget which ones he told me now… My doctor said I need surgery to. My little toes and heel have been numb for almost three months now too and my calf muscel is always cramped with pain in my foot and thighs
