Thank you so very much doctor you're awesome and I appreciate you and your honesty and your caring ways that's so real I'll continue to watch you!!!🤗❤️
I am married to one, and it used to bother me how invested my husband is in his patients out of his office hours. I mean he gives his cell phone number to some patients!!!! I used to hate it because it is my personal time with him. But , I came to the conclusion that this world needs more physicians like them! Specially since I started to have to health issues myself and have suffered the neglect from the modern medical field. Is blessing that I have someone that all he does is taking care his patients beyond almost any circumstances.
You just calmed me down from a panic attack. My neck and shoulder pain is causing me so much anxiety. This video really hit the spot. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.
Hey. I’m reaching out to you because my mother has been admitted into the hospital with pain in her neck (she couldn’t move it side to side) then it went into her lower back and the neck pain resolved, then it went into her chest just on the right side, then it went into her traps across her upper back. Her pain was so bad she almost couldn’t stand up by herself. She’s 77 and plays pickle ball 3 times per week. The doctors have run every test that they have and have ruled out cancer, meningitis, kidney stones, kidney disease. It sounds like your symptoms are similar to hers.
I always feel relief just listening to the dr. His sincerity and authenticity is infectious. Have already started a few exercises just while watching him. Here we have a humble being practicing his craft with … A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF “ DO NO HARM” that’s real wholesome caring kindness. Thank you for speaking so truthfully Dr M. 🙏
The best video I ve seen so far. I am suffering from neck pain and neck muscle weakness. I get panic attacks some times and this video made me feel much better. Thank you so much Dr. Mandel! May God bless you and your family!
Dr. Mandell is really the people's doctor! He really cares and is so informative for the common patient without the huge bill that follows! Love this guy!
I have pinched nerve in C5 and this video was 100% accurate to describe my problems with it. My observations from last 3 years with this problem is that best thing you can do is to strengthen your neck muscles and focus on posture. My new daily routine is little bit of self-massage at the back of the neck. Then rotating head to all possible direction, so stretching. And lastly but the most important is to strengthen those neck muscles. I try to rotate my head in different directions and press against that rotation with my hands. Best thing for your health is to activate and strengthen your muscles around the body.
Well said. I have a spinal disease, and BY FAR, my biggest part of my day is rehabilitation exercises and trying to strengthen what I can. I honestly believe its given me a decade more than I expected to have. 🙏❣
So are you getting better? I had pinched nerve in my right first two fingers as well. Trying my best in posture and my left shoulder is not really good as well so I do not know does it relate to my scapular as well and btw does the supplement intro by the doc is good?? The serrapeptase I mean
Dr. How nice to see your videos. I have just started following you. Having worked 40 years as labourer and bulldozer operator, I am now disabled. Diagnosed with MS, a non compensable disease. The above video just woke me up! With my neck exercises I’m presently decreasing my trigeminal nerve pain! Thank you, may de Universe shine upon your kindness for doing these videos. Jorge.
Hi maniullopes5961.. so sorry to hear about your ms. Just remember that a healthy diet and good clean water plays a huge roll in ms. Throw away the foodstuffs with preservatives and unhealthy carbohydrates. I sincerely hope that you can address your disease in this manner as well. Read up on nutrition and ms.Good luck!
I just received a bad MRI report and found this video. It has really helped me get over the shock and immediate depression. Thank you so much for doing this. God bless your soul and for putting this incredible positivity out there for those who need it most.
BRILLIANT!!! Wish I would have found you before a "spine surgeon" fused my spine from T6-L2 to stabilize a crushed T12. Took the arch out of my spine leaving me tipped forward 15% unable to stand straight. Ruined my life. Your videos have helped more than I can say in the battle with my muscles from head to toe!! Thank you.
The value of this video , is simply , inestimable ! And the men behind , is one of a kind , rarely on this times , a man who cares of other peoples needs . I am sure that is , also , one of the top doctors in his area of interests . My gratitude and respect , dear Sir .
We are much in need of medical health care, the more natural and knowledgeable we are of our role and conditions early on the better our chances. Thank you future students. You can make a difference 🙏
You Doc, have helped me tremendously through the agony of the gripping, paralyzing pain in my neck and upper back. The twenty minutes twice a week in cervical traction (physical therapy) did nothing during my daily agony. Then your vids began appearing in my feed and I had great motivation to listen, and I learned about posture...I've been mindfully practicing the exercises you've provided and the agony is gone! I sure do appreciate your good advice. It has been a blessing in my life. Many heartfelt thanks 🙏🏽
I'm currently dealing with the effects of being a graphic and web designers for the last 27 years and not paying attention to my posture at the computer. He definitely speaks the truth at the end of this video. Don't ignore your posture, whether it's sitting or standing, and avoid some of these issues.
You're a hero. Having a pinched nerve problem, I find the worst part is trying to stay mentally strong. Having a good understanding of what's happening to my body which this videos provide makes my mental calm down a little and gives me hope. I should get an MRI, I have a great physiotherapist, wish me luck.
Hang in there. I went through it and it was tough, as you well know. Mine resolved itself but it took several months (about 4). By the time of my appointment with a doctor, it was so much better but they wanted that MRI which showed a bone spur they said was causing the pain. My instincts told me they were wrong about it but what do I know. I believe that chin tucks and shoulder shrugs helped me. Good luck to you.
This Dr just gave me hope and motivation to deal with all my neck issues and to keep fighting the battle! Thank you so much Dr. Your videos are saving lives!
Man, this guy is so right in so many areas. I just had 2 level disc replacement from an injury. Great to hear this Dr. Speak the truth and really care about people. He also hit the nail on the head with technology causing issues. Crazy! Great video!
I would never neglect the Dr from asking for an MRI. It saved my brothers life. He had bad neck pain and arm pain for a long time and finally had an MRI and found he had his spinal column almost close off an could have lost the use of his legs and arms. They ha to do an emergency surgery to fuse his neck. He is much much better.
As a musician who was unable to use my left arm for a semester of college due to TOS, I thank you so much for this video and info. I later went on to discover trigger point therapy and learned first hand how that helped the problems of weakness, tingling and aching all down my left arm and into my fingers. I am now not only a musician, but a licensed massage therapist. Thank you so much for sharing this info (and for plugging massage therapists! ). Posture Posture Posture!!! I'm a fan, Doc!
Thank you so much for this! I panicked! Your video made me feel hopeful for RECOVERY and wellness. Education is so important and I respect this so much!
I have watched a lot of your informational videos Doc. I am a doctor myself and 10.years ago i was found to have cervical spondylosis and was on and off on physical therapy. Two years ago i had a whole spine MRI and found disc bulges from C1 to T1 plus a disc bulge between L5S1. Lately, i already developed i think radiculopathy on both hands and legs down to the feet and hands. I have a bad posture coupled with my work on looking thru the microscope as a pathologist and working hours in front of the computer making pathology reports made a toll on my intervertebral discs. I hope i could still recover and experience pain free days by improving posture and doing the exercises you are telling us. I am 54 now and i hope its not too late. God Bless you Doc.
@mond lee hi there. I need to be stricter with regards to the recommended exercises for my neck. I dont expect miracle to happen instantly but i can wait.
I just got a CT and they told me I have cervical spondylosis as well and the pain is going down in the pregnazone thank goodness!!! I can't get into pain management until late Jan. I'm concerned how long it takes for all that information to return? Any thoughts of advice or anything? I'm sorry you're having so much discomfort/ pain in various areas! I'm. 55
I wish I'd met you before my Mum's hospitalization. She had an unnecessary surgery,her body was too weak and she passed on. The neurosurgeon said the reason she couldn't walk was a herniated disk and she needed surgery urgently. Turned out my Mom had another condition,the surgery weakened her and she died. It's all about the money,that's what a majority of the doctors are about. Thank you for caring and posting this very helpful videos.
Kerry 528hz my condolences! I’m also suffering the same herniated disc problem and after looking at MRI all doctors strongly pressed me to go for surgery but I’ve taken opinions from physiotherapists as well. They said don’t panic I then trusted them , did physiotherapy regularly , maintained correct posture and get rid of this pain in my left hand radiating from the c7, c8. I wish you would have also got opinions too from experts and made decision accordingly!!
🙏 l suffer also from what l "could " or "should " have done with my Mom. Life is not for the faint of heart, but as long as you did your best, just be at peace. I am getting same stuff at 60.. BUT I learned for myself and we have the tools. Doctors want $$$$, l healed myself with food.
Great as always doc…I learned so much from this. I lift weights, and frequently get that upper back pain with arm numbness. But as you said I Don’t Panic. I follow all of your posture and stretch exercises as well as some other TH-cam professionals like yourself and I get through it. Believe in yourself people. Sometimes it may take a while and there may be pain but You Will Get Through It! 😊
@@linghe1298 Yes I did. A massage will help but it may not end the discomfort right away. But just keep staying the course, massage, stretching, stimulation and you will get there. Might take a while but don’t give up.
Best advice you gave is "Don't Panic!" So worried i had some permanent damage and i feel much better now that you have educated me on why I am having such pain and discomfort.
@@moreno4u c3, c4, c5 are the breathing ones. That can make you panic a little when you can't breathe. Get the flu on top of it and whew! Proper spinal alignment is very important to our health. Sadly, these facts are still considered "conspiracy theories" to most doctors in favor of legal dope.
You’re absolutely right about smart phones and tablet devices, the cause of poor postures and my neck pain. It’s getting worst with aging… I’m trying to correct and change all that. I believe it’s possible! Thank you dr. Mandell 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you Dr. Mandell. I watched the entire video and I feel so educated now comparing to 30 minutes ago. You all so provided me more assurance and less worry/panic. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you touched on the point of sugar and inflammation! I've been informing people for decades now about the connection of acidic metabolisms and how it feeds virus', bacteria, fungus. Alkalizing the body to stay between 7.0 (neutral) and 7.4 PH, I've actually noticed it DOES make a difference! Thank you for mentioning this! I share your videos quite a bit!
C6 bulging here and sitting on the nerve going down my arm. Therapy company #1 wanted to only focus on posture. I am a 44 year old with mild CP correct posture isn't a thing for me. I found a different who is a massage therapist and a chiropractor who ordered an MRI to make sure we weren't missing something. So thankful for them because they did and said exactly what you have posted here. After 3 months I feel human. ❤
You are so right? My doctor requested a MRI for upper neck and lower back. Of, course pain killers and physical therapy. I'm so glad that I found your video. You are providing education in this area. Explaining why my left arm is tingling. Explaining anatomy of the neck area. I paused the video when you was showing the area of the colored chart where the nerves are connected to the neck area. I took a photo shot, so I can trace the neck pain. A new subscriber! Thanks for your information!
God bless your heart Doctor, I’m having severe neck and arm pain. I’m getting an MRI this week and this video has explained to me my questions and what to expect. Thank you so much. God bless your heart ❤️
I'm searching for help for pain in my upper left shoulder that goes up into my neck and ear and down my left arm. In addition to this pain, my other problem is when I lay down for bed, I've woken up in a panic: racing heart, shortness of breath and I believe it's due to this pain. This is all new to me, I have an appointment to see a neurologist for guidance, but I'm going to definitely watch all of your videos to help me learn how I can fix myself. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
@@Tygo423 HI! A lot has was happening last year. I was diagnosed with pericarditis (inflammation around the heart), which was causing chest pain. After referrals from my neurologist, I had MRIs that confirmed cervical radiculopathy at C5-C6 (a pinched nerve). With everything that was happening a co-worker suggested I see an orthopedic doctor, who prescribed 500mg of Naproxen. That made a huge difference, significantly reducing the chest pain. I consulted with every specialist I could get a referral for-some were helpful, others not so much. I also found some support groups on social media, where I have been learning how others manage their pain, which has been wonderful in preparing myself for the challenges of aging. I'm 43 years old right now, but I'm trying to live a long time. I feel much better now than I did last year and have learned how to manage my body better. I hope you find the same relief soon-I know how stressful this can be.

I hv pinched nerve and the pain is been troubling me almost 3weeks now, completed an anti inflammatory medication course also took tramadol in between. Was getting scared of mri as you just explained and now after watching this video I feel I much relaxed and happy for all those valuable information and blessings! Gonna watch all your videos Dr... Thank you for everything that you do🙏🏻 regards from Dallas
@@alintaugustin5400 would you mind sharing what helped the most ? Please share as much as you can. I am hurting every single day and trying to do exercises recommended by physiotherapist.
Thanks Doc, your contribution to our health is deeply appreciated. Too many medical professionals seem to chase the dollar these days sadly rather than wanting to actually care about the overall health of their patients. Your channel has really helped me tackle the painful condition of a frozen shoulder without bankrupting my family trying to find someone who will listen and genuinely help me. Peace to you and God speed in your quest to wake us up about self help and empowerment for looking after ourselves naturally.
Great vid. Thank you Doc. Injury can sometimes be a gift, as it forces us to seek answers for ourselves and our loved ones. I appreciate all that you do. Thanks for sharing!
Doctor, you are fantastic. I wish I would have seen your videos before I had my 4th back surgery. The motto in todays medicine is "A chance to cut is a chance to cure." The pain is worse, by far, after the last one. Working as an ICU nurse put extreme stress on my back and I was told that surgery would help. Each time. You are giving us the tools and knowledge to preserve our health. Thank you so much for all the information and for having such a passion to help and protect ourselves as patients. Bless you.
Great info! This is blessing me as I struggle thru C6-7 cervical spinal stenosis. Performing the decompression exercises have been most beneficial, led to decreased Dilaudid, Norco, Ibuprofen and Flexeril. Will have my Primary order massage therapy, and TENS unit. Getting the ‘Don’t Panic’ message out to family and friends. Many blessings to you. Again, thanks for all you do to inform us, to educate the body as a healing machine when treated as such!
OMG it’s 5 years today and I just learned the answer to this pain. You just reconfirmed what my boyfriend said was the issue and I didn’t believe him. It’s my posture, my computer my phone what’s killing me abs not my herniated disks 😢 thank you so much! You continue to mesmerizing me Dr. Mandell, I wish I would get to know you one day
I went to a chiro and she adjusted my neck, ever since that day, I've had major neck issues and spasms in the front of the neck that also travels down my arm, back of neck and up the face. Hearing your video really does make sense.
I had a similar experience. I did have neck pain before. But my chiropractor adjusted my neck really hard one day and after that I started having really bad headaches and worsening of neck pain, even numbness and tingling into my arms. How are you guys doing now?
Thank you for posting this doctor. This has literally saved me mentally from having more anxiety. Been dealing with neck pain for a month with nothing showing on MRI or CT.
I have a MRI scheduled tomorrow my pain is so bad that I feel lost, it feels like a nerve is being pinch and what that happens I get brain fog and feel so confused, even blurry vision and numbness of my arm 😢 this is horrible
being a young doctor myself and being very passionate about healthy lifestyle it is very inspirational to see well accomplished doctors give this type of advice. thank you and god bless you :)
Amazing video Doctor. I am no longer in panic and feeling anxiety anymore. You help me a lot. God bless you and your family. What a great purpose in life. You inspired and help a lot of people including ME!
Thank you so much for teaching these things! I have had strange pain that seems to change when massaging my neck and neck pain that doesn't go away no matter how much I massage it...anyway....watching your videos has helped.
The kind of motivational video I was desperately looking for at this moment in life. I was clueless why the pain never go away. I now have a mission to figure out and heal this constant trapezius and neck pain. You are saving lives doc. Great work! Thank you!
I started writing at the beginning but by the time you got to thoracic outlet syndrome I thought to myself I wish I had you back in 2004/05. I got injured on my job throwing freight (lifting a display) my neck & lower back 5'6, 120lbs 47yrs, excellent shape. Coming up on 19 yrs. Still suffering. It's my Left side C4, C5 & C6. I was born with extra set of cervical ribs. So that's where TOS came in. Said "No" to rib removal surgery. Epidural, steroid injections, steroid pills, massages, over door cervical traction unit I have. Muscle relaxers, percocet, zolpidem - been on it way too long, does something to your brain, not sure how to get off of it. I actually wore out my left disc on my jaw from grinding in my sleep bc I was in pain, while sleeping. I am in pain all the time, nothing really helps. The neurologist wanted to go in make more space on the disc where the nerve is compressed. But that didn't happen. I drop things alot with my left hand, sometimes I can't feel the fingers & thumb. There's nothing left to do. I hoped for so long for resolution, it didn't happen. Thanks, Doc
Dear Dr. M, you are such a blessing to all of us. I use your approach to empower my patients and encourage them not to panic! It works wonders! It helps them to take control on their situation. God bless you Dr. M.
Too many people in here leave comments about their emotional complexities getting resolved. The topic of this video is pinched nerve HELLO, people wanna know whether you guys fully recovered or not, nobody cares about how thrilled this video made your hearts feel.
I want to say thank you for saying try everything first before surgery, like going to get a massage . I am a massage therapist and I like what you teach thanks
Thank you Doc, little by little I become ok. My grip strength is very good now. I can turn my neck properly with minimal stiff and pain. My face is not swelling anymore. My lower extremities is strong already and I can walk properly now. Watching your more videos for healing myself. Thank you and God bless....
Thanks doctor Mandel, I have driven truck for a living for the past 24 years and last November I had my first major collision rollover. I’m up for a shoulder replacement and my back has been in my back for years and now I’m told bulging discs have travelled to my neck as well.
I am 67 I have had high blood pressure forever. I have been doing the lemon garlic olive oil and cayenne pepper shots for almost four months. A nurse from my insurance came to my house for an annual checkup. She took my blood pressure, while I was talking to her holding my arm out in the air. It came back 124 over 78 OMG My oxygen was 95 percent. I owe it all to you and the magical shots.. Thank you Dr. Mandell
This was an absolutely amazing video! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I just received more answers in 30 minutes than I've been able to get in nearly two years.
GOD Bless Doc and all those suffering with these types of pains. Coming from someone who has suffered for decades after being hit in the back of head with a bucket containing concrete thrown from off a roof, I was ready to give up on life! Your presentation in this video is fantastic! The don't panic is a key to help breaking the cycle of pain. And most of start to find joy again and get out and live life. They may not get rid of the pains completely but the help to distract from it and the more you break the cycle the better you'll start feeling and enjoy life again!
Thank you Carl for sharing your story, I'm glad you made it through that scary situation omg and are here to share with others on staying strong. I love your message. I've suffered from pain for years now and yes, you just have to find some kind of relief (so glad I found Dr Mandell, he cares more than ANY doctor I've ever seen!). Keep moving forward, take it easy and take gentle care.
So much in this video explains all of my random pains that I had for years. Such an eye opener. Thank you so much. Just received a preliminary diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy and going to PT in a few weeks.
Dr i will never thank you enough i was suffering from this problem for years and now I know why no doctor could tell me why before. You deserve Heaven!!!!! THANK YOU SO. ALLAH bless you. Love from Algeria
Thank you, Dr Mandell, for your very nice lecture and sharing of your valuable knowledge and experience for our health. What you are doing is priceless. You're great. Long live Dr. Mandell!
Very informative. I learned a lot watching this video as I’m currently dealing with pain and have learned a lot of it could be more from knotted muscle then the actual nerve being pinched.
Seriously great advice. I'm so glad I went to my spine specialist/chiropractor. He told me I had a touch of scoliosis which I thought was bs. Until my mom was diagnosed later by a different doctor. He told me if I do these certain stretches, I won't need surgery and won't need to see him every other day. It's been 5 years and my back still hurts sometimes but I haven't been immobile from my back going out since then. My mental and body wellness is way better as well. It's crazy how many things can be fixed easily by someone who knows.
I have been dealing with nerve damage, numbness and inflammation in my upper extremities for about 10 years now and this video has helped me severely in the understanding of my internal workings of my nervous system and causes of pain, numbness, and swelling. I fell out of a tree about 14 feet onto my neck in the summer of 2010. I couldn't lift my chin from my chest for about 4 total months. Once I could...I would get a rush of physical sensation that went from the base of my skull to the heels of my feet. I was addicted to this sensation! I know it sounds absurd. But it is true. Once kept doing this my neck got stronger and more flexible. Now...10 years later it is effecting my moods and emotions because of the irritability I sustain on a daily basis. I have always done physical therapy on myself and haven't relied on a single doctors perspective of my condition. I have been agreeing with everything you've said aloud in front of my girlfriend because I've gone through this for such an abundance of time and can relate to your findings of relief. But after watching this video I am now completely knowledgeable in what is going on in my body and now know the correct ways to deal with said complications. Thank you MOTIVATIONALDOC for all that you've explained and if possible would like to learn more from you personally about the human anatomy and certain aspects of the nervous system that cause these types of anomolies. I have been truly blessed.
MRIs are super important. They are not the only tool to use, but to rule them out entirely is crazy. I have directly benefited from receiving updated MRI for my neck issues. Educate yourself but don’t become your own doctor. Become informed so you can better choose a doctor and make more informed chooses that your qualified doctor offers you.
Hey Doc, so you were saying "Come back in 5 years and see all the comments from the youth". Well doc, here I am. 34 years old with disc degeneration, constant pain in my head and neck. Im sitting with better posture now, but theres no going back. I just hope the pain gets better. Thank god I caught this before any nerve damage....just pain at the moment.
@@gabitsu-ftw3871 I am getting better! I changed my life habits: standing desk, no more looking down (ie: I raised my monitor) and started doing exercises to counterbalance my bad posture. Its not perfect, but my constant headaches have completely stopped. I dont want to oversell things, but a short year later my back and neck are greatly improved but it did cost me changing my lifestyle substantially.
@@Viper54K glad to hear that, mine improved too but still have burning eyes sensation, nothing wrong with my eyes though, I noticed when I massage the occipital muscles it gets better, but they're not stiff, so this is a bit strange haha
Really appreciate all your effort in educating us. Absolutely needed to prevent people from being hasty and turning to surgery. Totally agree that posture is a key component and have been saying for years, that we should teach it in elementary schools to give kids the awareness. Maybe one day...
My pain radiates on the left side of my neck to under my collarbone then in my pec muscle and makes me think I’m having a heart attack and not one Dr has even thought to recommend anything that was under 35000$$$ surgeries. Yet Dr Mandel explains this perfectly
Thank you for confirming the trigger points and for helping me to finally "wise up" about sugar intake. I agree more videos regarding sugar should be posted. Thank you again, for your valuable information.
stumbled upon your channel and you are the few doctors who motivated me to be calm about what I am feeling on my tongue. I have this tingling feeling on the left side of my tongue. I have been restless for more than a week and it is taking its toll on my work. Looking forward to more videos like this, especially those related to internal organs and nerves. all the best
It's nice to see a doctor who cares about people more than money. God Bless
Thank you so very much doctor you're awesome and I appreciate you and your honesty and your caring ways that's so real I'll continue to watch you!!!🤗❤️
Amen!

Dr. Mandell is really the people's doctor! He really cares and is so informative for the common patient without the huge bill that follows! Love this guy!
I have pinched nerve in C5 and this video was 100% accurate to describe my problems with it. My observations from last 3 years with this problem is that best thing you can do is to strengthen your neck muscles and focus on posture. My new daily routine is little bit of self-massage at the back of the neck. Then rotating head to all possible direction, so stretching. And lastly but the most important is to strengthen those neck muscles. I try to rotate my head in different directions and press against that rotation with my hands. Best thing for your health is to activate and strengthen your muscles around the body.
Well said.
I have a spinal disease, and BY FAR, my biggest part of my day is rehabilitation exercises and trying to strengthen what I can. I honestly believe its given me a decade more than I expected to have.

So are you getting better? I had pinched nerve in my right first two fingers as well. Trying my best in posture and my left shoulder is not really good as well so I do not know does it relate to my scapular as well and btw does the supplement intro by the doc is good?? The serrapeptase I mean
Dr. How nice to see your videos.
I have just started following you.
Having worked 40 years as labourer and bulldozer operator, I am now disabled. Diagnosed with MS, a non compensable disease. The above video just woke me up!
With my neck exercises I’m presently decreasing my trigeminal nerve pain!
Thank you, may de Universe shine upon your kindness for doing these videos.
Jorge.
Hi maniullopes5961.. so sorry to hear about your ms. Just remember that a healthy diet and good clean water plays a huge roll in ms. Throw away the foodstuffs with preservatives and unhealthy carbohydrates. I sincerely hope that you can address your disease in this manner as well. Read up on nutrition and ms.Good luck!
I'm so happy to hear this helped. I've struggled with trigeminal nerve pain as well. Blessings to you.
May God Bless You with healing and pain relief.
Which excercise do
5 years later and he was right
Thank you!!
Yup. My Dr told me about my posture looking at my phone. Told me the same thing as here. The epidemic is here.
😂
I just received a bad MRI report and found this video. It has really helped me get over the shock and immediate depression. Thank you so much for doing this. God bless your soul and for putting this incredible positivity out there for those who need it most.
Whats the report ?
Bottom line, did your pain subside did you completely recover?
BRILLIANT!!! Wish I would have found you before a "spine surgeon" fused my spine from T6-L2 to stabilize a crushed T12. Took the arch out of my spine leaving me tipped forward 15% unable to stand straight. Ruined my life. Your videos have helped more than I can say in the battle with my muscles from head to toe!! Thank you.
terri bishop 💙💙 omg you poor soul. Good luck with your recovery 💖
The value of this video , is simply , inestimable ! And the men behind , is one of a kind , rarely on this times , a man who cares of other peoples needs . I am sure that is , also , one of the top doctors in his area of interests . My gratitude and respect , dear Sir .
This is the kind of medical professional I want to become.
God bless you for trying to help ppl
More power to you. I avoid doctors like a plague--long story but I know there are many good ones out there.
Same
God bless you for being a change in the norm.
We are much in need of medical health care, the more natural and knowledgeable we are of our role and conditions early on the better our chances.
Thank you future students. You can make a difference 🙏
You Doc, have helped me tremendously through the agony of the gripping, paralyzing pain in my neck and upper back. The twenty minutes twice a week in cervical traction (physical therapy) did nothing during my daily agony. Then your vids began appearing in my feed and I had great motivation to listen, and I learned about posture...I've been mindfully practicing the exercises you've provided and the agony is gone! I sure do appreciate your good advice. It has been a blessing in my life.
Many heartfelt thanks 🙏🏽
Have you been able to maintain your recovery

I so appreciate your informative videos. Thank God for your authentic & caring medical advice🙏!

Honestly you deserve an hundreds of thumbs up... "Cut down the Sugar" very key. People who save lives most time don't wear cape and that is you Doc.
Good sugar aide save and putting all in outed offers
I'm currently dealing with the effects of being a graphic and web designers for the last 27 years and not paying attention to my posture at the computer. He definitely speaks the truth at the end of this video. Don't ignore your posture, whether it's sitting or standing, and avoid some of these issues.
Thankyou so much. Excellent!
You're a hero. Having a pinched nerve problem, I find the worst part is trying to stay mentally strong. Having a good understanding of what's happening to my body which this videos provide makes my mental calm down a little and gives me hope. I should get an MRI, I have a great physiotherapist, wish me luck.
Hang in there. I went through it and it was tough, as you well know. Mine resolved itself but it took several months (about 4). By the time of my appointment with a doctor, it was so much better but they wanted that MRI which showed a bone spur they said was causing the pain. My instincts told me they were wrong about it but what do I know. I believe that chin tucks and shoulder shrugs helped me. Good luck to you.

God bless you, you save my life you are the first honest doctor.
I would never neglect the Dr from asking for an MRI. It saved my brothers life. He had bad neck pain and arm pain for a long time and finally had an MRI and found he had his spinal column almost close off an could have lost the use of his legs and arms. They ha to do an emergency surgery to fuse his neck. He is much much better.
that's not what he's talking about/saying
Always someone in the crowd like you

As a musician who was unable to use my left arm for a semester of college due to TOS, I thank you so much for this video and info. I later went on to discover trigger point therapy and learned first hand how that helped the problems of weakness, tingling and aching all down my left arm and into my fingers. I am now not only a musician, but a licensed massage therapist. Thank you so much for sharing this info (and for plugging massage therapists! ). Posture Posture Posture!!! I'm a fan, Doc!
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! I panicked! Your video made me feel hopeful for RECOVERY and wellness. Education is so important and I respect this so much!
I have watched a lot of your informational videos Doc. I am a doctor myself and 10.years ago i was found to have cervical spondylosis and was on and off on physical therapy. Two years ago i had a whole spine MRI and found disc bulges from C1 to T1 plus a disc bulge between L5S1. Lately, i already developed i think radiculopathy on both hands and legs down to the feet and hands. I have a bad posture coupled with my work on looking thru the microscope as a pathologist and working hours in front of the computer making pathology reports made a toll on my intervertebral discs. I hope i could still recover and experience pain free days by improving posture and doing the exercises you are telling us. I am 54 now and i hope its not too late. God Bless you Doc.
Dennis so how do you tackle the pain itself throughout the day
@mond lee hi there. I need to be stricter with regards to the recommended exercises for my neck. I dont expect miracle to happen instantly but i can wait.
@@dennismacapagal9587 I
I just got a CT and they told me I have cervical spondylosis as well and the pain is going down in the pregnazone thank goodness!!! I can't get into pain management until late Jan. I'm concerned how long it takes for all that information to return? Any thoughts of advice or anything? I'm sorry you're having so much discomfort/ pain in various areas! I'm. 55
I wish I'd met you before my Mum's hospitalization. She had an unnecessary surgery,her body was too weak and she passed on.
The neurosurgeon said the reason she couldn't walk was a herniated disk and she needed surgery urgently.
Turned out my Mom had another condition,the surgery weakened her and she died.
It's all about the money,that's what a majority of the doctors are about. Thank you for caring and posting this very helpful videos.
Kerry 528hz my condolences! I’m also suffering the same herniated disc problem and after looking at MRI all doctors strongly pressed me to go for surgery but I’ve taken opinions from physiotherapists as well. They said don’t panic I then trusted them , did physiotherapy regularly , maintained correct posture and get rid of this pain in my left hand radiating from the c7, c8. I wish you would have also got opinions too from experts and made decision accordingly!!
Dear Kerry, my condolences.
I had you can listen to the 528htz and heal..
Sincere blessings from me. Peter Nall
So sorry for your loss.
that doctor needed to bill a few thousand dollars immediately to pay for his gf s needs. Be ware!!!
🙏 l suffer also from what l "could " or "should " have done with my Mom. Life is not for the faint of heart, but as long as you did your best, just be at peace. I am getting same stuff at 60.. BUT I learned for myself and we have the tools. Doctors want $$$$, l healed myself with food.
You do not talk too much! It's all relevant and extremely helpful! God bless you!!
Ridiculous how accurate this man is. God bless! Legend! I’m so grateful I stumbled across this. Amazing work man ❤
This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I have terrible pinched nerve in my neck. Thank you!
How are you treating it
I have the same thing right now and its soooo ayoing and disturibing it hasnt went away fro 4 or 5 days alrready..
@@plaushas did you overcome the issue?
I have neak injury and was keep panicking but I managed to come down and get over it
Your patients are incredibly lucky to have you! Thanks for your patience and passion in explaining!
Great as always doc…I learned so much from this. I lift weights, and frequently get that upper back pain with arm numbness. But as you said I Don’t Panic. I follow all of your posture and stretch exercises as well as some other TH-cam professionals like yourself and I get through it. Believe in yourself people. Sometimes it may take a while and there may be pain but You Will Get Through It! 😊
👍💜💜💜
did you get better? recently I had shoulder pain and bit arm numbness too, I think definitely need a good massage.
@@linghe1298 Yes I did. A massage will help but it may not end the discomfort right away. But just keep staying the course, massage, stretching, stimulation and you will get there. Might take a while but don’t give up.
So happy to hear you mention sugar!! That’s the new one I’m working on. I’m trying hard to believe my body can heal and I can do yoga again one day.
Best advice you gave is "Don't Panic!" So worried i had some permanent damage and i feel much better now that you have educated me on why I am having such pain and discomfort.
Yes, I JUST learned about my c6-7 pinched nerve, and I was freaking out. His videos really put me more at easy now.
@@moreno4u c3, c4, c5 are the breathing ones. That can make you panic a little when you can't breathe. Get the flu on top of it and whew! Proper spinal alignment is very important to our health. Sadly, these facts are still considered "conspiracy theories" to most doctors in favor of legal dope.
I was really scared too. I might be going to Thailand soon, full body messages for less than 5 dollars!!!!!
If someone with this sharp pain at he neck and right arm, can that person still be doing juggling exercise?
Thanks Dr
You’re absolutely right about smart phones and tablet devices, the cause of poor postures and my neck pain. It’s getting worst with aging… I’m trying to correct and change all that. I believe it’s possible! Thank you dr. Mandell 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you Dr. Mandell. I watched the entire video and I feel so educated now comparing to 30 minutes ago. You all so provided me more assurance and less worry/panic. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you touched on the point of sugar and inflammation! I've been informing people for decades now about the connection of acidic metabolisms and how it feeds virus', bacteria, fungus. Alkalizing the body to stay between 7.0 (neutral) and 7.4 PH, I've actually noticed it DOES make a difference! Thank you for mentioning this! I share your videos quite a bit!

Thanks a lot doc...im a physiotherapist and i hv learn much from you.infact i pray oneday i meet you one on one to learn more from you
C6 bulging here and sitting on the nerve going down my arm.
Therapy company #1 wanted to only focus on posture. I am a 44 year old with mild CP correct posture isn't a thing for me.
I found a different who is a massage therapist and a chiropractor who ordered an MRI to make sure we weren't missing something.
So thankful for them because they did and said exactly what you have posted here. After 3 months I feel human. ❤
How are you now?
You are so right? My doctor requested a MRI for upper neck and lower back. Of, course pain killers and physical therapy. I'm so glad that I found your video. You are providing education in this area. Explaining why my left arm is tingling. Explaining anatomy of the neck area. I paused the video when you was showing the area of the colored chart where the nerves are connected to the neck area. I took a photo shot, so I can trace the neck pain. A new subscriber! Thanks for your information!
God bless your heart Doctor, I’m having severe neck and arm pain. I’m getting an MRI this week and this video has explained to me my questions and what to expect. Thank you so much. God bless your heart ❤️
How did you feel now?
Update?
Update ???
Sir you are a lifesaver. Thank you very much.
I'm searching for help for pain in my upper left shoulder that goes up into my neck and ear and down my left arm. In addition to this pain, my other problem is when I lay down for bed, I've woken up in a panic: racing heart, shortness of breath and I believe it's due to this pain. This is all new to me, I have an appointment to see a neurologist for guidance, but I'm going to definitely watch all of your videos to help me learn how I can fix myself. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Any update in your condition? You described me to a tee.
@@Tygo423 HI! A lot has was happening last year. I was diagnosed with pericarditis (inflammation around the heart), which was causing chest pain. After referrals from my neurologist, I had MRIs that confirmed cervical radiculopathy at C5-C6 (a pinched nerve). With everything that was happening a co-worker suggested I see an orthopedic doctor, who prescribed 500mg of Naproxen. That made a huge difference, significantly reducing the chest pain. I consulted with every specialist I could get a referral for-some were helpful, others not so much. I also found some support groups on social media, where I have been learning how others manage their pain, which has been wonderful in preparing myself for the challenges of aging. I'm 43 years old right now, but I'm trying to live a long time. I feel much better now than I did last year and have learned how to manage my body better. I hope you find the same relief soon-I know how stressful this can be.

Thanks Doc, your contribution to our health is deeply appreciated. Too many medical professionals seem to chase the dollar these days sadly rather than wanting to actually care about the overall health of their patients. Your channel has really helped me tackle the painful condition of a frozen shoulder without bankrupting my family trying to find someone who will listen and genuinely help me. Peace to you and God speed in your quest to wake us up about self help and empowerment for looking after ourselves naturally.

Now this is a real doctor! Great job doc! You made me and lot of other people feel better, I am sure! Keep it up!
Ditto! 👍💜
Doctor, you are fantastic. I wish I would have seen your videos before I had my 4th back surgery. The motto in todays medicine is "A chance to cut is a chance to cure." The pain is worse, by far, after the last one. Working as an ICU nurse put extreme stress on my back and I was told that surgery would help. Each time. You are giving us the tools and knowledge to preserve our health. Thank you so much for all the information and for having such a passion to help and protect ourselves as patients. Bless you.
Great info! This is blessing me as I struggle thru C6-7 cervical spinal stenosis. Performing the decompression exercises have been most beneficial, led to decreased Dilaudid, Norco, Ibuprofen and Flexeril. Will have my Primary order massage therapy, and TENS unit. Getting the ‘Don’t Panic’ message out to family and friends. Many blessings to you. Again, thanks for all you do to inform us, to educate the body as a healing machine when treated as such!
OMG it’s 5 years today and I just learned the answer to this pain. You just reconfirmed what my boyfriend said was the issue and I didn’t believe him. It’s my posture, my computer my phone what’s killing me abs not my herniated disks 😢 thank you so much! You continue to mesmerizing me Dr. Mandell, I wish I would get to know you one day
Thank you for the inspiration and hope that our bodies can recover and heal if we treat it right and stay proactive ❤
I went to a chiro and she adjusted my neck, ever since that day, I've had major neck issues and spasms in the front of the neck that also travels down my arm, back of neck and up the face. Hearing your video really does make sense.
The exact same thing happened to me. I’m scared and really regret letting him touch my neck. I had no pain before that.
I had a similar experience. I did have neck pain before. But my chiropractor adjusted my neck really hard one day and after that I started having really bad headaches and worsening of neck pain, even numbness and tingling into my arms. How are you guys doing now?
Thank you for posting this doctor. This has literally saved me mentally from having more anxiety. Been dealing with neck pain for a month with nothing showing on MRI or CT.

Thank you so much for teaching these things! I have had strange pain that seems to change when massaging my neck and neck pain that doesn't go away no matter how much I massage it...anyway....watching your videos has helped.
The kind of motivational video I was desperately looking for at this moment in life. I was clueless why the pain never go away. I now have a mission to figure out and heal this constant trapezius and neck pain.
You are saving lives doc.
Great work! Thank you!
How long have you had it for? I went running yesterday and my neck has been so stiff. Hope you're feeling well now!
I started writing at the beginning but by the time you got to thoracic outlet syndrome I thought to myself I wish I had you back in 2004/05. I got injured on my job throwing freight (lifting a display) my neck & lower back 5'6, 120lbs 47yrs, excellent shape. Coming up on 19 yrs. Still suffering. It's my Left side C4, C5 & C6. I was born with extra set of cervical ribs. So that's where TOS came in. Said "No" to rib removal surgery. Epidural, steroid injections, steroid pills, massages, over door cervical traction unit I have. Muscle relaxers, percocet, zolpidem - been on it way too long, does something to your brain, not sure how to get off of it.
I actually wore out my left disc on my jaw from grinding in my sleep bc I was in pain, while sleeping. I am in pain all the time, nothing really helps.
The neurologist wanted to go in make more space on the disc where the nerve is compressed. But that didn't happen. I drop things alot with my left hand, sometimes I can't feel the fingers & thumb. There's nothing left to do. I hoped for so long for resolution, it didn't happen.
Thanks, Doc
Dear Dr. M, you are such a blessing to all of us. I use your approach to empower my patients and encourage them not to panic! It works wonders! It helps them to take control on their situation. God bless you Dr. M.
Too many people in here leave comments about their emotional complexities getting resolved. The topic of this video is pinched nerve HELLO, people wanna know whether you guys fully recovered or not, nobody cares about how thrilled this video made your hearts feel.
I want to say thank you for saying try everything first before surgery, like going to get a massage . I am a massage therapist and I like what you teach thanks
Alot of great info., LMT, CMCP

Thank you Doc, little by little I become ok. My grip strength is very good now. I can turn my neck properly with minimal stiff and pain. My face is not swelling anymore. My lower extremities is strong already and I can walk properly now. Watching your more videos for healing myself. Thank you and God bless....
What exercises did you do?
Can I found out what was wrong with you?
Thanks doctor Mandel, I have driven truck for a living for the past 24 years and last November I had my first major collision rollover. I’m up for a shoulder replacement and my back has been in my back for years and now I’m told bulging discs have travelled to my neck as well.
I lost 72.3 % of my neck curve. You explained everything what I feel. Thank you so much 💕
Is it getting better ?
Sorry but 72.3%. How did u work that out?
I am 67 I have had high blood pressure forever. I have been doing the lemon garlic olive oil and cayenne pepper shots for almost four months. A nurse from my insurance came to my house for an annual checkup. She took my blood pressure, while I was talking to her holding my arm out in the air. It came back 124 over 78 OMG My oxygen was 95 percent. I owe it all to you and the magical shots.. Thank you Dr. Mandell
As you predicted here I am 4 years later. What a blessing Doc. Thank you 🙏
This video is the prescription for my issues!!! Excellent explanation, Dr. M. I can't thank you enough!!!!!!!
This was an absolutely amazing video! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I just received more answers in 30 minutes than I've been able to get in nearly two years.
GOD Bless Doc and all those suffering with these types of pains. Coming from someone who has suffered for decades after being hit in the back of head with a bucket containing concrete thrown from off a roof, I was ready to give up on life! Your presentation in this video is fantastic! The don't panic is a key to help breaking the cycle of pain. And most of start to find joy again and get out and live life. They may not get rid of the pains completely but the help to distract from it and the more you break the cycle the better you'll start feeling and enjoy life again!
Thank you Carl for sharing your story, I'm glad you made it through that scary situation omg and are here to share with others on staying strong. I love your message. I've suffered from pain for years now and yes, you just have to find some kind of relief (so glad I found Dr Mandell, he cares more than ANY doctor I've ever seen!). Keep moving forward, take it easy and take gentle care.

Thank you Dr., this explains so much with my upper back & neck issues... makes sense.
Thank You !!! I was going back to spine surgeon this morning. You just changed everything !! God is good !! Blessings to you and yours !!
Very informative. I learned a lot watching this video as I’m currently dealing with pain and have learned a lot of it could be more from knotted muscle then the actual nerve being pinched.
Love you Doc! Hoping to get better and let the body heal itself. Bless you Doc. 🙏
Seriously great advice. I'm so glad I went to my spine specialist/chiropractor. He told me I had a touch of scoliosis which I thought was bs. Until my mom was diagnosed later by a different doctor. He told me if I do these certain stretches, I won't need surgery and won't need to see him every other day. It's been 5 years and my back still hurts sometimes but I haven't been immobile from my back going out since then. My mental and body wellness is way better as well. It's crazy how many things can be fixed easily by someone who knows.
I have been dealing with nerve damage, numbness and inflammation in my upper extremities for about 10 years now and this video has helped me severely in the understanding of my internal workings of my nervous system and causes of pain, numbness, and swelling. I fell out of a tree about 14 feet onto my neck in the summer of 2010. I couldn't lift my chin from my chest for about 4 total months. Once I could...I would get a rush of physical sensation that went from the base of my skull to the heels of my feet. I was addicted to this sensation! I know it sounds absurd. But it is true. Once kept doing this my neck got stronger and more flexible. Now...10 years later it is effecting my moods and emotions because of the irritability I sustain on a daily basis. I have always done physical therapy on myself and haven't relied on a single doctors perspective of my condition. I have been agreeing with everything you've said aloud in front of my girlfriend because I've gone through this for such an abundance of time and can relate to your findings of relief. But after watching this video I am now completely knowledgeable in what is going on in my body and now know the correct ways to deal with said complications. Thank you MOTIVATIONALDOC for all that you've explained and if possible would like to learn more from you personally about the human anatomy and certain aspects of the nervous system that cause these types of anomolies. I have been truly blessed.
You are so kind, taking time to explain us. Thank you Dr. Mandell.
doctor you are a true motivational gem.by spreading such a valuable information to the world.greeting from india i.e.Bharat.
I watched this and feeling so much better, you help me handle my panic. Thankyou doc, God bless you.
MRIs are super important. They are not the only tool to use, but to rule them out entirely is crazy. I have directly benefited from receiving updated MRI for my neck issues. Educate yourself but don’t become your own doctor. Become informed so you can better choose a doctor and make more informed chooses that your qualified doctor offers you.
Hey Doc, so you were saying "Come back in 5 years and see all the comments from the youth". Well doc, here I am. 34 years old with disc degeneration, constant pain in my head and neck.
Im sitting with better posture now, but theres no going back. I just hope the pain gets better. Thank god I caught this before any nerve damage....just pain at the moment.
How are you now?
@@gabitsu-ftw3871 I am getting better! I changed my life habits: standing desk, no more looking down (ie: I raised my monitor) and started doing exercises to counterbalance my bad posture.
Its not perfect, but my constant headaches have completely stopped.
I dont want to oversell things, but a short year later my back and neck are greatly improved but it did cost me changing my lifestyle substantially.
@@Viper54K glad to hear that, mine improved too but still have burning eyes sensation, nothing wrong with my eyes though, I noticed when I massage the occipital muscles it gets better, but they're not stiff, so this is a bit strange haha
Really appreciate all your effort in educating us. Absolutely needed to prevent people from being hasty and turning to surgery. Totally agree that posture is a key component and have been saying for years, that we should teach it in elementary schools to give kids the awareness. Maybe one day...
Appreciated Dr.for what we helper us you want us to be healthy and healed thank you so much,
My pain radiates on the left side of my neck to under my collarbone then in my pec muscle and makes me think I’m having a heart attack and not one Dr has even thought to recommend anything that was under 35000$$$ surgeries. Yet Dr Mandel explains this perfectly
Thank you for confirming the trigger points and for helping me to finally "wise up" about sugar intake. I agree more videos regarding sugar should be posted. Thank you again, for your valuable information.

stumbled upon your channel and you are the few doctors who motivated me to be calm about what I am feeling on my tongue. I have this tingling feeling on the left side of my tongue. I have been restless for more than a week and it is taking its toll on my work. Looking forward to more videos like this, especially those related to internal organs and nerves. all the best
