It took me 18 months to get ride of the horrible pain L4L5 herniated disc , with physiotherapy massage, spine decompression , i steel have some little pain in the morning , no surgery if it's not causing paralysis
I reccommend a period of fasting (3-7days max) allowing your cells to begin the process of autophagy for the repair and healing of cellular pain. Neuropathic pain is induced by damage to the somatosensory nervous system and this article speaks specifically on the benfits of cellular autophagy for the healing and reformation of cells. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8910267/
Thank you for the suggestion, we will add it to our to-do list. In the meantime, here are a few videos we have done on neuropathy th-cam.com/play/PL8l32k1r15l4UqKiW9G9Tw5xKyIsVsjxT.html
I suffered from a herniated disc some 20 years ago, and took up swimming (chest stroke only according to my doctor’s recommendation), and the tingling disappeared within a month. Not to forget some back flexing and strengthening exercises on daily basis
I can promise you this that if you have a back injury and you go into the pool and I mean water pool water therapy is a fantastic way to help heal the problem
definitely a great way to relieve the symptoms, however, like all injury to our body the damage is cellular. cellular damage (PAIN) is best removed by the reset and repair of cellular alignment and the reset of its vibrational energy. for all body issues I reccommend autophagy to reset cellular activity and vibrational therapy to reset alignment.
I've had a couple of back issues and both were taken care of by pilates stretching exercises. I used a pilates machine and let the tension bands stretch my back muscles by hooking them over my feet and letting the bands pull my legs up and over my head, while I did my best to keep my lower back flat on the bed of the machine. Worked wonders and am completely pain free. I had been going to a chiropractor for several months, twice a week and the pain would come back within 2 days. I used the pilates machine for 2 months and all was fine. Highly recommend this stretching.
I just totalled my car yesterday in that hurricane, walked away from the wreck, but my back hurts some and I have some whiplash. Now I'm wondering if I may have hurt my spine, so it's nice to have this pop up in my feed.
Thankful you walked away from the wreck. Hope you heal. Soreness in the days after almost always happens, but don't ignore significant or ongoing pain.
After surgery herniated L5S1, the herniation is back and now on the opposite side. Decompression therapy has made my middle back weaker and now I have 2 problems instead of 1.
That’s why it’s so important for people to lifts weights from early on. Doesn’t have to be heavy weights but we lose muscle mass starting in our 30s and gets progressively more every decade. Weights should be part of everyone’s weekly routines and then injuries or issues won’t compound or won’t be compounded as much/badly.
I've had major issues multiple times, 6-8 weeks is to be expected (L4 and 5 are wafer thin). Make sure you don't have an undiagnosed leg length issue. Mine is about an inch and caused years of misery without being diagnosed properly and now when I mention it to medical types I get an eye roll every time (except that one doc with the same issue). Decompression is by far the most effective treatment I have had but I found that doing the neck helps the low back as much as doing the low back. These days I use a decompression table and work my core, and then use one of those chin sling things to stretch out my neck (almost every day). Spine mobility exercises are key IMO, and something like poor posture or a major leg length issue must be addressed or the chronic tilt will inevitably ruin a disc or two
I cannot recommend highly enough that you try cold showers. 3 times a day, 4 -5 times a week. Then do the decompression, it'll change the game for you. Within two weeks my pain disappeared and within a few months I was better than had been in 6 or 7 years. Hope this helps. Also possibly look into medicinal mushroom supplements, taurine as well as moringa powder. :)
I herniated L3-4 when I was 33 years old, I think playing tennis. I had screaming sciatica, never had surgery, had some PT. It healed, but took nearly 2 years. I was told I could do surgery but would have about the same benefits in a year or so.
I’m still going through back pain. It has been a few years. Severity of pain fluctuates depending on activities. Been told not eligible for surgery or and type of pain clinic.
So sorry to hear that. Here are a several videos you can watch and see if you can find anything in any of these that you haven't tried yet: www.youtube.com/@BobandBrad/search?query=back%20pain

Mine deteriorated to bone on bone at L4,5,6. I was in a wheel chair for 3 years ..Had 3 surgeries . Byw praying for your buddy Brad . God bless and restore him
In the past when I've injured the lower back from raking leaves or snow shoveling, it's taken 3-4 weeks to resolve, but this time I'm going on 3 months, must check out video.
Ruptured disc at L5-S1 and surgery at age 26. At 44, herniated L3 down to S1. I did decompression on an inversion table for years. That seemed to keep me from having to have surgery. Around 2018 or so, inverting made my back feel worse. I stopped, and have just put up with the occasional pain. It's been tolerable so far.
I developed a work related sciatic injury. I was working at that location for 15 months and we worked on bare concrete floors. I’m feeling better while I’m on FMLA caring for my dad. They approved me for 10 weeks and I’m transferring to stay with dad until I know he doesn’t need more treatments for cancer.
I herniated a disc 7 years ago. It took me a full year of physical therapy twice per week, and then, another year on my own before my back started to feel better. I did not have surgery. A year ago, I started having some problems again, so my doctor put me with a pain management specialist who does not use drugs or surgeries. I had some more physical therapy, but the best thing for me turned out to be some prescribed medical custom made orthotic insoles for my shoes. They took some getting used to, but they have really helped me. I'm back to walking a full mile each day, whereas a year ago, I could barely move.
I have a herniated disc in C6/C7, and it was diagnosed 7 years ago. It causes a weaker grip in my left hand, and numbness in my left foot that goes across my toes, to the point where all the weight seems to bear on my big toe back to the right side of my heel. Nobody has suggested anything about how to fix this.
Yes, but why would nerve roots (cervical spine) be swollen 3 years after the herniation, with no current (apparent) disc issues in the same level? Is that normal?
like all injury to our body the damage is cellular. cellular damage (PAIN) is best removed by the reset and repair of cellular alignment and the reset of its vibrational energy. for all body issues I reccommend autophagy to reset cellular activity and vibrational therapy to reset alignment.
There's other tissues in the area. Could be 'scar'tissue, wether it's muscle knot, dehydrated fascia or adhesions near the nerve. Could be weak ligament or muscle Imbalance putting pressure on the nerve in the same way the prior herniation was ..... I've been dealing with a lot of DR failing me so looking at spine stuff in detail this year 😁🙃 could look at accupuncture, nerve flossing and gentle ROM stuff to see if any duplicates the pain and take the info back to your DR to help you figure it out
Yes decades later thoracic spine bulging disc rates its ugly head. The best thing that helps is what Bob and Brad said years ago was to lay on your belly for so many minutes multiple times a day that has helped to get it off of the spinal cord, but it will still come back also and Oklahoma we have a big problem with a radiologist, not thoroughly going over and reporting on what they find in the MRI and for the cost that is acceptable. The patient can do their own treatment if they know what is wrong.
I stretched up high and forward to close a blind, and got this horrendous pain, turned out to be a herniated disc. I think it may have healed, as I dont get the bad back pain now unless, I do a lot of bending over when gardening. It took months to get any better , as I am not one for sitting around.
4 different episodes of bad deabiitating pain in fourty years. I found ceawling arund the house, and laying tlat with legs up on chair, n adition to muscle relaxing meds, let me stand and walk again in a couple of days. In last 10 years i am walking miles NO back pain now.
I have sypnosis of the upper spine. And multilevel degeneration of the lower back, which is now causing me right knee pain and also I have severe numbness of the left thigh. I am only 40 and this pain has been going on for at least 4 or 5 years... I have been given a cortisol shot in my right knee helped for 24 hours now the pain is much worse.
I when to a physical therapist, he put me on the rack and stretched my out a couple of times. Also did stretching exercises, laid on the floor arms out like a T, left foot to right hand, right foot to left hand. better in 2 weeks.
Hope this helps someone. I had back pain for seven years. Finally herniated a disc whilst stretching to try and make the usual pain more bearable. Was the most excruciating thing I have ever endured, could not move without screaming, could not sit or stand. Went to the chiro, got some shots, it got better, but was still a major issue and I had pain whenever I walked. Trouble sleeping. Irritated and non-focused. Self medicated with MJ, helped, but just numbed me enough so that I could function and still exercise, just body weight stuff, but I couldnt give that up. The solution was COLD SHOWERS. Correction exercises and stretches too, and medicinal mushrooms, but the main thing was cold showers. I cannot explain how this changed my life. 3min a day, 5 times a week. Do some breathing exercises beforehand. Pain disappeared in two weeks. Within a few months all the misalignments had corrected in my hips and shoulders and I can breathe properly again. I feel great actually. I do it almost every day now and I'm still getting better and aging backwards it seems :)
I'm curious about a hotly debated topic on whether or not rest can be part of a back pain recovery plan. For 10 months my doctors have not given me medical leave from a physically demanding job because they believe rest will not help me.
OMG, ya'll must have ESP(N). Last week I told you about my month off from working out then bam, back pain. I watched your video from 7 years ago which is helping. Then today, you posted this one. Right on time. I'm going to forward this video to my neighbor who is also having disc problems. I hope this message was articulated right. Long story short, ❤ ya'll. 🏆👍🏼 P.S. washing my hands in bathroom sink hurts. Made sense when you showed the demonstration of leaning forward.

You guys need a sound guy. The info is great, but the sound is not good for our ears. Please fix it.
Those particular wearable mics are HORRID. There is so much mouth and breathing noise. Better to try a shirt clip mic.
Thanks for your suggestion!
I was just Diagnosed with a L4/L5 Mild herniated disk. I started traction this last week. Perfect timing.
traction is the last thing you want to do. Instability will make it worse.

I have this problem but I can't sleep on my back , because I wake up with more back pain.
Thankyou bob&Brad ❤
And Mike!
What if you have had back pain in the same exact place on and off for 6 years not months?
Same!
2 years on and I still feel the electric shock on my toe. wraps around the leg and foot like a candy cane.
Perhaps a growth on a nerve?

How about traction? And can traction be administered to someone with moderate to severe scoliosis?
What about herniated disc at T9-10...can that heal?
Can you please talk about when people why some people get lower back pain any time they sleep on their back. Happens to me every single time.
I will add this to our to do list!
@@BobandBrad Thank you so much 😊
You’re the best 🎉
No surgery, I am in horrible pain. But I can still walk.
That was my rule too. The day I needed the wheelchair was the day I consulted a back surgeon.
It took me 6 years to heal up, No surgery ....
I am going on 40 years and mine has only worsened.
The answer is yes! Praise God.
Excellent video!

Depends on how severe the herniation. Surgery is still needed in some cases. I had it 19 years ago and have been fine since.
Very true. We like to try all other options first before resorting to surgery.
@@BobandBrad Absolutely. Even my surgeon considered surgery a last resort.
I have sypnosis of the upper spine. And multilevel degeneration of the lower back, which is now causing me right knee pain and also I have severe numbness of the left thigh.

So do I move my arms at all or is all the movement in the legs?
