No one else like you Dr. Furlan (and so sweet!). The facet pain is agonizing.

[@cindy1602able]

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

[@savitasaraf7925]

Thank you doctor. Shall definitely try all the stretches and exercises.

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Thank you for watching the video.

[@ripleypipe]

Hi Dr Furian, I had a double facet joint nerve ablation 14 months ago and it just made the pain worse - and it's constant. Also, since the procedure, pain killers such as ibrufrofen are no longer effective. I can only assume the heated needle caused, seemingly permanent nerve damage. I know some people have found great relief from nerve ablation, but I would not recommend this 'last ditch' to anyone. Thank you for these helpful exercises, I do them before I play doubles tennis. Yes, at 71, I still play, even though the pain is sometimes so bad I can only limp about the court, however I'd rather play with discomfort and impairment, then not play at all.

[@caseyslove]

Thank you for your excellent videos. I have had 2 knee replacements and 2 hip replacements. I don’t think I can do many of these exercises as I have been told not to take my knees past 40 degrees and with my hips no bending of the legs at the hips beyond 90 degrees.

[@ikust007]

All you said was awesome for me. Thank you !

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Thanks

[@lpj7589]

Thank you very much,. I enjoy listening to all your videos, as they are very informative especially for anyone who has issues with the back &, in my case, having had a . PLIF surgery 20yrs ago. The exercises that decrease my lower back pain the best are 1) both knees to chest, 2) alternating the knees to chest & 3) lying on my back, with buttocks as close as possible to a door frame & raising 1 leg straight up to the door frame(I stay in this position alternating legs, for 15 minutes or so).

I think this is sound and objective advice. I have seen orthopaedic surgeons and chronic pain specialists, and had the nerve block procedure that Dr Furlan refers to (all in Australia) and I can tell you that her advice is consistent with what I heard from those specialists.

[@DillanOttawa]

Thanks so much, Dr. F! Of all the vids on FJD, your suggestions were by far the most helpful. By squating instead of bending to pick up things, I now have 90% less pain/discomfort. Everyone's unique, but I'm 49 and got fit again through diet, swimming freestyle laps, cycling, running, and doing planks. And with my weight loss (20lbs) and stronger body, I'm even able to play some tennis again. And they say "sitting is the new smoking," so I try to get up from my desk every 20 min.
