    This video is right to the point, easy to understand with visuals and your explanation. I’ve had sciatic nerve pain for 5 weeks. I’m waving the white flag 🏳️ and going to the doctor this week because I keep waking up with muscle spasms. The pain radiates through my left hip/buttocks down to my outer left ankle. It’s awful. Hugs to anyone experiencing this pain because it is not easy to cope! ❤

    The nicest video (informative, straight to the point) and Dr. A bad case of sciatic hit me just before Covid lockdown to the point of not being able to walk or do anything. Guess I had overdone myself running around for my job. Fortunately, I've always done swimming, walking and "soft" yoga (to relax, wind down) which includes these mentioned in the video. Knowing your body, and as Dr. says "improve with easy and effective exercises'. A million thanks Dr Hui. We need more people like you.

Fortunately, I've always done the exercises you recommend to stretch, relax and alleviate the pain - it works and it's efficient. Breathing properly is important. Acupuncture has also helped just as swimming and specific exercise in the pool.

    My recent MRI of Lombart shows an L4-L5 disk bulging. So much pain, couldn't stand more than 2-3 minutes, could not walk, and lots of pain. Buging disk means space between 2 disks become smaller and pushing liquid towards the middle spine canal cavity and causing pain by pushing the spine. So while searching CZcams, I found out about the Inversion table. After watching a few testimonials, I realized that the inversion table basically hangs the body upside down and expands the entire spine. Looks like the space between disks is increased. So I search the internet and found an inversion table for $99.00. Using only 5 mins a day on a 60% incline level, no immediate help in the first 15 days, then a little less pain after 30 days, and ALL pain was gone after 60 days. Literally NO PAIN. It does the work, looks like my entire back spine is stretched, and increased the space between L4-L5 and blood may be circulating more. Increasing the space between disks pushed back the bulge inside its original space by relieving spine nerve pinch. What a miracle. Maybe the local gym may have an inversion table, everybody should try it.

      Yooooo, mate I also have L4-L5 disk and a disk also in the back. And Im literally dying from and I have it from exactly 10years Im not kidding or overreacting not even a pinch. Doctors have thought that the pain comes froom the brain and started giving me depression medicines like "pregabalin". I left it behind and left all docs behind. I have 3MRI's on neck, back and legs.But Im suffering like very much. I didn't understand you how the spine gets space. But please send me this link to 99$ or if you have anything saved or memorized. Like please, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the explanations Dr. Alex. They are well known, but you actually show some variations of the exercises I have not seen before. I'm suffering from almost all the possible causes, herniated disks, spinal stenosis and definitely piriformis syndrome. What would help me a lot is to find out why my piriformis muscle is getting so tens. It does that all the time and stretching it is a kind of Sisyphus game. If anybody here has a clue what is tightening up my piriformis, please let me know.

    Although one must probably differentiate that during the acute faze of sciatica it is better to be much more gentle with the nerve. Pulling muscles means pulling nerve - pulling a sore inflamed nerve will worsen the pain. One must allow it to heal a little and proceed carefully and gently with any exercise.
