I get more injured sleeping than I do when I'm awake so this channel has become a lifeline for me, lol. Thank you for what you do!
Thanks for the honestly guys in not trying to push sales of products, this shows your true professionalism and good heart
I’m crying right now. I watch your guys videos all the time!! I am so frustrated. I’m in so much pain, I can’t sleep without severe pain. I’ve tried all positions
You're not alone , we are on the same boat . God bless ♥️
Have you tried multiple pillows to prop your body in place? Try floor sleeping, it’s amazing. Just make a real plump/comfy palate and give it a try beyond a week. The first two nights will different- but after that it help to keep my pain away and stiffness
Try sleeping on a recliner chair/sofa it will help sleeping comfortable
Omg I hear you!!! I thought I had some kind of hip problem from running but I recently found out it’s arthritis in my back. I never sleep well.
@@christine9467 try using TENS machine hope it relief pain without any side effects
Maintaining good posture at night can be pretty tricky. I work hard to line myself up carefully and as I begin to doze off my body moves the way it wants to.
You're Both FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! Watch all your videos and share them constantly. Your videos have been a tremendous help in various ailments. Thank you both so much!!!!! Lorine..Long Island, NY
Thank you Bob and Brad! I watch your videos from France.
Definitely trying these positions. Thnks 4 sharing
Thank you so much this video is so helpful 💗
The absolute best 2 funny, extremely informative guys on the internet.
Thank you Bob Brad, Im going to try this for week 😁
Thank you!!
Awesome theme song. Super!
Thanks
Dear SIRS,
All of the above. Thank-You
you guys are adorable and knowledgable ... thank you... positives vibes
You guys are the best haha I laugh everytime I watch you’re videos because you’re like comedians and also so helpful!🎉
Great vid guys! Thank you very much ..big thumbs up!
I have osteoarthritis in my lower back affecting the sides is my legs.. so many nights my sleep is interrupted. Some nights I don’t sleep at all. Will try these methods tonight
I truly enjoy all of your videos! When I strained my groin, I looked up your page. When I started having lower back pain, I looked up your page. Torn meniscus is acting up…woke up with a pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder…you see where I’m going. 😂💕🙏🏽 Thank you for all you do!
You are so welcome! Brad
Seems great .I wish I could buy a very good mayress.
I'm 73 and have bad lower back osteo porosis...and neck pain
Is your mattress similar to TempurPedic? Thanks for your show. I learn so much. I'm waiting to get a total hip replacement!
Dear Bob and Brad
Thank you for this video. I excitedly followed the link provided for the bed wanting to purchase, but was sad to see that delivery is only Canada and US😥 Can you recommend something similar that delivers to Europe, more specifically Denmark?
I'll get 'back' to you with my comments!
Great info. thank you
Can you recommend anything (sleeping positions, exercises, stretching) to relieve or help improve symptoms of l5-s1 radicuopathy?
Straighten the Wooden cabinet door..the hinges are bent...2nd wooden door to the left
You can adjust the hinges to straighten/align them.
Zero gravity chairs are a good option! I can take it everywhere easily
Can you do a video on hip bursitis relief and sleeping positions with bursitis
Because I herniated two disc in my lower back and one in my neck, the only way I can sleep is on my back with my feet elevated (I own a Craftmatic Bed) and using a wedge pillow for my head. I go to bed with pain and wake up with very little pain! I used to sleep on my left side but can't now because the natural curve in the neck started to straighten out and I have arthritis in my shoulder.
I was in the hospital once cause my sciatica pain was so bad I couldn't walk. I still have trouble with back pain (mainly lower) and constant leg pain/cramps in both legs. When I try to sleep at night the pain is worse. I try to get comfortable, but then I just feel the pain more in my back and legs. I like sleeping on my stomach most. I also sleep on my side most of the time. Rarely on my back. I tried sleeping with a pillow between my knees. It helps sometimes. Not all the time. I've also slept with pillows under my legs and tried sleeping on my back. That lasted maybe a hour of sleep before it felt stiff for sleeping on my back. What bugs me most is my leg pain is always their no matter how much better the support from pillows feel on the pressure from my back. My muscles are tight too in my back which makes it harder to relax at night. I don't know what to do. 😕
For leg cramps try taking Calcium supplements with Magnesium...worked for me, I had terrible calf and thigh cramps at night.
Try sleeping in a recliner chair/sofa it might help sleep better
who the fuck sleeps on their back🤣
@@300Walk people with injured shoulders. Can't sleep on your side, no way. I've been sleeping on my back for 6 years after a torn rotator cuff with two surgeries to repair. Now I have nerve damage which is forever. I am not alone, there are thousands of us forced to sleep on our backs.
I need that mattress 😩
I am currently doing better with my neck pain associated with a disc in my neck that has been angry from 2 whiplash incidents in car wrecks. My problem now, Is waking up about 3 hours after initiating sleep with the sciatica from my herniated L5 S1. I was wondering if using my inversion table is going to eventually help bring that pain up the leg just like the Mackenzie methods. My body metastasized 5mm of the herniation in about a year and a half so keeping fingers crossed with all my new habits it continues this trend.
Bit confusing with damaged lower discs do we need to keep the spine flat or with a bend in it at night ???
Sometimes I think you guys are psychic. I'll have a particular pain and poof..... here's a pain relief video. Sending ya both, air hugs and kisses xoxo
This will tighten your psoas and hip flexors
What height is the wedge u recommend
What's the cost of the matress
When you have spinal stenosis what causes someone’s body back, arms, legs etc. to twitch when sleeping at rest?
How about one sided back pain from facet arthropathy?
Sleep positions for scoliosis?
Great video! You guys are spot on. I have herniated disc and stenosis. What position do you suggest for both? I have been sleeping in the recliner lately because of the pain.
Have you ever tried doing some exercises for the lower back/core? or maybe even stretch? Believe it or not this can help out a lot, and specially strengthening that lower back.
@@xSwaii I agree about core work but as somebody with bone on bone L5/S1 L4 herniated 6 other bulgers and herniated disc ( last one in neck , forget what its called , something one I guess) , believe it or not MANY types of stretching can make pain way worse . Strengthing the core MEANING BOTH STOMACH ( ABS) and lower back and the whole core. But I was stretching and getting worse and worse until a women who worked with one of the most famous back guys in the U.S. saw me struggling to walk up 4 stairs to walk into a public place and asked if she could ask some questions and eventually told me to try and STOP STRETCHING for a week or 2 and see . Within a few days I DID feel better and not much longer much better.
I will also tell you what a great excercise is for a bad back and this is ALSO counter intuitive until you understand . HIKING on steeps , or something with some decent grade. Also hiking on UNEVEN GROUND with ups and downs . It causes you to use your core over and over to balance and the uneven ground makes you constantly move like a gyroscope so that you hit every muscle in a NATURAL WAY . We are basically designed to walk and hike and not on COMPLETELY flat surfaces.
Start off easy and build up. If you dont live in the mountains like I do then it might be not doable but walking in any kind of woods that are not to flat is helpful but the more grade the better . Even if your really messed up big grades are not an issue . If your on a big grade just go as slow as you need to go as far as possible. When going down you may need to go slow and step sideways because going jdown can be rough on knees but the down part works your core differently and if you dont try to be a SHERPA on your first try even your knees will feel better after a while as you build up strength . Wrapping your knees or using braces for knees can also be employed if you have some knee pain or instability but do whatever you can natural to allow your body to build its OWN support.
HERE IS THE ULTIMATE , if you go hiking and there is SUPER COLD STREAM WATER wear a bathing suit under your gear and bring a towel and at the end find a pool of the coldest water you woud NEVER WANT TO BE IN and go in it as deep as you can and hopefull sy sit down in the stream so the water covers your legs and lower back and approaches chest if possuble. You may only last 30 seconds and be yelling WTF the first time but when you get out towel off and get clothes back on you will feel so much less pain and it will last for a while , days to a week and then keep going until you can handle a few minutes and try for around 5 . It feels messed up at first but GOOD SCIENCE on why this works and health benefits way beyound joint and back pain . Its basically Polar Bear stuff and can increase longevity and certainly help crush inflammation so IT WILL BE HEALTHY if your already of decent health . Dont go in freezing water if your ticker is bad or whatever and make sure if you do it in winter your near your vehicle or whatever and have a towel and can get into warm gear and all that . MIND BLOWING DIFFERENCE IN PAIN plus good mental benefits and you feel great as you start to train yourself to handle the pain of extreme cold water . 5 minutes of cold shock uncomfortable ( you start to like if your the sort that enjoys excercise and pushing yourself ) to get days or weeks of less pain and better mental is SO WORTH ANY LEVEL OF DISCOMFORT and if you live where you can do it for FREE thats the best part. You can also get a plastic barrel of some type and put water in it during winter to let it get cold and or add ice and step into that and kneel down and stay as long as possible. And I do have stenosis in my neck as well. At my worst I can not stand or sit or do anything and my legs cramp up and my missing disc KILLS , that is when for whatever reason I am unable to excercise ( and slowly build up) and do the rituals I have set forth , but even as MESSED UP as I am amd the severe pain and dissability it causes , doing as the other poster said CORE excercises of which HIKING IS A CORE WORK OUT and easy because everybody knows how to walk and you dont have to remember how many sets of what and all that to be balanced . Doing TOO much AB strengthening without the same for lower back and sides and all the different stuff can CAUSE pain if you over develope or over work one and not the other . You want your ENTIRE CORE EQUALLY TRAINED to keep the mess of a spine we have kept steady without being pulled in one way or the other and not balanced between strong muscles all around.
I know this is a book but BACK PAIN is awful if its legit shit from spine degradation and it is MENATLLY tiring , depressing and pain sucks when its at a level you can barely do anything including think so I dont want anybody besides Dictator's , Rapists or Kid Touchers , Politicians and ya know , the really bad sorts to experience it. Give it all a try if possible.
DONT TAKE NSAIDS they will cause more pain and degradation of your spine and joints. Look that up for yourself.
BEST WISHES for you getting some relief , ANY AMOUNT IS AMAZING when you have serious life changing pain and I know these things to work with much personal experience in the realm of pain . I had hard miles already and then got SMASHED in the rear sitting still minding my buisness by a 7000Lb truck which CHANGED MY LIFE ABOUT 10 YEARS ago so I have tried everything including giant needles in spine and refused pain meds and the morphine pump they wanted to install UNER MY SKIN to inject small amounts of dope directly into spinal cord .
FEEL BETTER , its possible and any relief is great and you may find MAJOR relief for a good long while .
Hello,
I have spinal arthritis and a messed up back from where I'm mostly blind and have had to lean over to read for about 30 years. I've tried therapy, pain meds, and a lot of pillows. The way I sleep is that I've bought a firm mattress, and a firm body pillow. I sleep with my back to the body pillow, pillow between my legs, shoulder under the top of body pillow (all trying for spinal allignment, and another pillow in front for my arms.
I've woken up many times with my spine hurting so much I can't get out of bed. I also have a TENS Pro, soak in as hot of water as I can stand in baths, l weight lift (checked that I'm doing it correctly with my phys therapist), and none of it seems to work. What are your thoughts on spinal injections, and do you have any other ideas that I could try?
We like to avoid spinal injections if we can, however sometimes they may be necessary.
@@BobandBrad I'm just at my witts end. I've tried everything and have been patient. I'm just not sure what else to try.
What's the name of the mattress?
SleepOvation, its in the description box.
I have to switch positions every hour. The pillows are a pain to keep moving around.
So, the Packer and Vikings played today...
Lol!
Ima stop, lol.
watchingnow*
I try everything and my right leg stoll hurt don't hurt when I sit down chair only when walking
What sleep position would be good for a degenerative disc L5-S1? I have horrible pain all night long, getting out of bed in the morning is like I am being stabbed with knives 😖
I'm having trouble walking all of a sudden. It's hard to pinpoint the pain.
What about snoring?
Why do I feel a sharp pain when I fall a couple of feet, it only occurs when I fall on my feet. The pain resides within the pelvis region. Please, help me.
Hello
How you doin
Really wish I had the $$$ for that mattress!
Me too
But haven't drs always said that sinking mattresses should be avoided? It creates a curve in your back becaise your heaviest point is the back, so it sinks, creating bad posture...??
I have been sleeping in the correct positions for years, without anyone advising me. That is unusual for me.
I have arthritis, scoliosis and chronic inflammation in the bare of my back so “yes” it is better to sleep with the wedge as I do.
What about zero G?
*NEWS* : A guy almost strangled himself to death with a blanked when he tried to "fill in the gaps"
Would urge many to seek out a medical grade lumbar sleep wrap
Thank you for making another impossibly long video with zero answers
The taller guy is kinda mean
i thought the fireman’s carry in a prone position is the best sleeping posture ???
ARE YOU IMPLYING BRADS BACK IS UGLY!!!! How dare you!
For a person with pain jokes can look silly. Simple information would have been more informative. Not everything requires gimmick.
