    I had severe back pain for 4 days and I'm doing the exercises but could not walk without pain.
    So I took 2 tennis balls and put in a sock and put them in a belly wrap and the pressure of the
    tennis balls against the lower back has reduced the pain so I can walk.

    This happens to me once or twice a year. Interestingly, after I stopped doing yoga, it hasn't happened. So I think because I have poor lower back mobility, the yoga was irritating my nerves. Anyway, when my back goes out, I've tried doing nothing and also tried doing my regular yoga/Pilates/ weight training. It doesn't seem to make much difference. It just takes about a week to 10 days to heal on its own schedule no matter what I do.

    • @robdrenningpt

      Try adding leg lifts on your stomach (video below), if you don’t already. It’s been shown to reduce back pain episodes by activating the deep back muscles that get shut down after the first episode of back pain!

    Thank you so much! I have watched so many videos on back pain and none of them was what I'm experiencing. I leaned over too far when I stood up from the toilet and a knife pain shot through my lower left back through my front of my body. For a week I was unable to stand without pain, resulting in screams and tears. I started arching my back and keeping my neck parallel with the floor helped, but the pain sneaks back on a tiny wrong movement. I couldn't find one video that offered the best help save yours. I did notice walking helps and now I know to continue it. How long does this talk to heal? It's been a week for me and I'm still so terrified of sitting/standing, even though I managed to avoid the stabbing pain.

    • @robdrenningpt
      @robdrenningpt  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey! No, don’t stop exercising unless those things specifically hurt you worse, otherwise they’re not harmful. Generally speaking try these things:
      1. Prone press ups in comfortable range (on stomach, press your chest up to arch your back…you don’t have to straighten your arms all the way). 15 reps 3x/day including before bed
      2. Avoid sleeping in the fetal position. Bring the knees down if you’re a side sleeper
      3. Car. Lean the seat back as far as you can and still reach the wheel. Sit on a pillow to be taller and smaller pillow behind the back
      4. Last, try the video below. It’s what I do for my back issues.
      Hope that helps!!

    • @robdrenningpt
      @robdrenningpt  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Good question! The answer is no…most of the time. It’s ok to do things that cause some pain or soreness. Honestly, almost everything does when you have a back injury! The pain is not a sign that something is being damaged. BUT…getting into a position that’s pain free is also good. Simply because it hurts less, which means improved mobility etc. Think of it as it’s OK to push to pain, but not through. Kind of grey I know but hopefully that makes sense! Lmk if not

    Three days back i think my disc herniated again. I had suffered disc herniation earlier 3 years back at L4-L5 and it took almost a year to heal. This is possibly because I went to a physio in almost no pain and he stretched my legs so much that i almost stepped out of his clinic crippled. Now this suspected herniation wasnt very painful and thankfully no sciatica. I have been moving, going to office, standing and working, all good till then, went out to enjoy christmas celebration and took a taxi back home and I was getting out of the taxi, baaam ! Something snapped and my lower back was completely jammed....today 1 day later i am in excruciating pain, gets worse lying down and getting out of bad takes 15 min but once i am up, i can walk around my home and that seems to give me some confort. I just feel lying down is makes me worse. My GP prescribed some anti inflammatory medication. Any thoughts on what i should do?

    • @robdrenningpt
      @robdrenningpt  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dang sorry to hear this.
      1. Move and walk as much as possible
      2. Before getting up from lying down, rock the knees side to side on your back. Do any kind of motion possible prior to getting up. This will move fluid around your discs and create space needed to stand up
      3. Lying on your stomach, pressed up on your forearms if comfortable. You could even have someone gently pull your legs for traction in this position as well
      4. Keep good back support when sitting
      Again, these are general suggestions that may help, hard to give specific advice in this format but I hope this can help!

      Try this exercise too (video below). The muscles in your back shrink when you have pain, and they don’t get strong again when the pain goes away. We have to wake them up again. This exercise has been proven to do that and reduce recurrence rates! Hope it helps!

      Sorry to hear, that sounds like a bad episode. Pain sometimes shuts off the input to certain muscles, causing the legs to feel weak. When you move a leg, those muscles attach to your back and can put a lot of pressure on an injury like yours. Move when you can!

    What causes this? I'm young, very mobile and recently threw my back out and it was the scariest 48 hours of my life. I couldn't stand or sit. Just by getting into a sedan car and then, crack! Felt a full lower back strain. What gives?

    • @robdrenningpt
      @robdrenningpt  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Great question! There are several possibilities. The most common is what’s called the facet joints in your back. They’re supposed to slide back and forth. Sometimes they stop doing this and jam together instead. There are little nerves in there that then cause the sharp, ice-pick type of pain.

    Oh my God it is the worst! I did this just last night just getting up off the bed to go to the bathroom. Getting into bed and out of bed now takes tremendous effort. I literally have to use my arms and lift my butt up off the bed, place my legs onto the floor, and time it and breathe just right before I even stand up. The twinging is the worst.

      Sorry for the delayed response! ‘Active rest’ is what’s recommended. That means walk if you can, change positions periodically even though it hurts, but don’t try to do too much. Complete bed rest is not recommended! Hope you’re doing a little better

      @@robdrenningpt Thanks for your reply...so I actually done complete bed rest up until today... I basically had no option. I was too sore to even visit my GP but spoke with him on the phone. I used heat on my back and started doing really mild stretching in my bed. I woke up this morning and to my amazement I was pain free. Tentatively took a few steps and I'm able to walk but cautiously. Such a terrifying experience.. In think I'm hopefully on the mend. Went to the doc who believes it was the facet joint and this was irritating the disc ..but need MRI

    • @mic8026

      My GP had a good insight in to back pain as he had surgery on both discs. I'm 43...and he suggested giving up running and weight lifting...suggesting that the wear and tear on my back has made it too vulnerable to injury. He suggested swimming, cycling, walking and yoga/pilates. What do you think? I'm thinking I will go with his advice as this experience has been terrifying. Thank you for your great videos...got me through a tough time while bed bound 👍

    • @robdrenningpt
      @robdrenningpt  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Those activities suggested by your GP are great! And glad you’re feeling better!
      I’ve been there myself, it IS scary. Avoiding running/lifting for now is a good idea. It allows time for full healing and regaining mobility.
      However, in the long term I don’t really agree. There’s research out there showing repeated disc loading (aka running) actually INCREASES disc strength! More of wear and repair vs tear! It takes a while to gradually get back into it, but I run now and encourage my patients to do the same. If you do the activities your GP suggested with gradual return to strength/loading…you should be able to run too!

    • @mic8026
      @mic8026 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your reply.... really appreciate it. That sounds like a good idea. I think I'll stick with swimming and pilates for the next 6 months and then gradually get back to light weights and maybe gentle jogging. I think losing weight will also help .... Less stress on the back. Thanks again and the content you share really helped me when I was in the depths of despair.

      Some people have 2-3 days where moving is very tough, some less than that. Getting out of bed in the am will be the hardest thing. If you can do that, work should be doable, depending on what type of job you have. I did it once and then had to move an entire apartment the next day. I used an ACE wrap as a brace and was able to get it done. You could try that if you have a physical job. If you sit a lot, keep support behind your back and move/walk around as much as you can. But most likely there will be some limitations to your day tomorrow. Let me know how it goes!

      That’s called a side shift. Basically your shoulders will shift away (usually) from the painful side. It’s normal and still ok to move! Limping is also normal, back joints and muscles can refer to the hip as well. Keep moving as much as you can!
