Once again I want to compliment you on your easy delivery, clear description of what is going on and giving me the assurance I can do something to help my condition. You are the best!
Wish you were here in the USA, I would surely come to you for treatments! You really know what you are talking about! We need more doctors like here in Lexington, Kentucky! Jim
A few years ago I developed sciatica in my left leg. The onset was sudden and painful. So I made an appointment with the first orthopedist I could find. Which turned out to be a mistake. He was not only completely useless, he lacked any empathy or compassion for his patients. X-rays showed that I have a bulging disc in my spine that is pressing on the sciatic nerve. i did everything that was asked of me and everything that you suggest. I even tried an inversion table. But, nothing helped. My pain was a constant five. Sometimes as much as a 7 or 8. When you are in that much pain, you can't even sleep. And, of course, doctors won't prescribe pain medication now. So, your life stops and everything revolves around the pain. But, one day after about a year of living with it I woke up and thought the pain wasn't as bad. Then it got better. I can still feel the pain a little, but it's not nearly as severe as it was. My main concern now is to not do anything that will make the pain return.
Are you familiar with the work / books by Dr John Sarno or Dr David Hanscom? Highly recommended. Hope you’ll feel better and at ease… i have experienced just how terrifying and overwhelming such pain can be. Best wishes, C
Just ran across your videos this past week. I've been successfully using a halfway folded pillow (in a triangle shape) under my right knee/upper leg while in bed for months - glad to see this video. Might give the third position a try if that no longer works. Thanks for all you do for us in your many videos!
Thank you for your clear explanations and demonstrations. This pain down both legs is excruciating, discouraging and exhausting. There are scores of videos on sciatica, but yours are top-notch
Thank you for this video! All of my pain is in both hips, lower back and down the front of both legs. The leg pain happens only when I attempt to sleep. 😢 My doctor has ordered a lumbar MRI. I hope it will help to narrow down what is going on.
Thank you Will for the help your videos have given me recently for my sciatica I just wish I had found your site earlier when I was in so much pain. Making videos for these age groups are so helpful as they are simple and in most cases easy to do. 🙏
Thank you for your kind words I'm so pleased you've found my videos helpful - I'm sorry to hear you were in such pain previously, hopefully my videos can offer some support to prevent such pain in the future!
Simply love the way you teach and give people like me hope. I have a sciatica like pain in the back of my right leg and do the exercises you say but there is still a residual pain. Will it go completely
Thank you so much Will, i really appreciate your videos snd have learnt so much from your teachings. As I have back pain because of scoliosis which causes sciatica at times I will definitely use this position to lie in
My disc bulge makes it painful to sit and lay on my back and now it’s hurting laying on my stomachs too - do you have any advice of alternative positions for relief?
Super knowledgeable videos Dr. My MRI showed l4-l5 disc protrusion to the left and severe pain running down my left leg which was intolerable in any position so had my laminectomy -discectomy past a month now. But still the numbess is there in both toes and I feel a little sciatica pain behind the left knee sometimes actually very often. Are these the recovery symptoms or a possibility of reherniation? Please advise
I am no doctor but assume it is the L5/S1 disc. I had the same thing, L4/L5 discectomy then L5/S1 started acting up. Keep the pain above the knee and take it easy and you should be ok. I just had my 3rd operation and 2nd fusion about a month ago. I could never find a position that would ease the sciatic pain. A year after my discectomy I tried to workout one day, 3 days later my back hurt and I sneezed and ruptured the disc again, I hate to say it but it was worse than the first time... the pain I mean... Good luck and take it easy...
I've been fused from L1-L5, the 1st was L4/5 which was "catastrophic" according to my surgeon. The Kage disengaged and I needed to have emergency surgery to remove all the metal which was entangled in the nerves on the right side. Would you recommend that the 3rd position be used in bed during the night? Of course finding something that would enable this position will be a challenge.

I've got an adjustable bed and it really relieves my back. I have my legs raised and the top raised a bit as well which just about gives that position. I sleep much more comfortably. I think most bed shops sell them.
There are times when no position will eliminate sciatic pain! You want to have your leg cut off.. it is so bad... I used to have my wife pull on my leg. It felt like it would eliminate the pain but it rarely did. Ended up getting discectomy and ruptured it again. Then had fusion...
You are a first class teacher. Thank you.
I’m now sleeping on the floor on My back with yoga mat , four pillows under my knees , this helps a lot , thank you!

This position has been helping me for 21 years of periodic back pain. Your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you.

You’re welcome 😊
Thanks so much for all the information but I am having a problem the pain is in my left leg
And now it's going in the right leg
Hi Will...just a question: what can I do, when I feel the problems in both legs?
Another great one. I'm buying your book today. You should set up a practice in London mate. Even a couple days a week and you'd make a killing.
Brilliant well explained. An excellent video and a professional presentation.
Thank you for the kind words!

Hello, you are great!,, I have mixed connective tissue disorder, could you please do a video on that? I have so many different issues
Hi handsome H T physio. Thanks for the video. Will share.
Hope this works I've tried everything.
Does this work for femoral nerve pain from herniatied disc L3 which goes down the front of the thigh too? Any input would be much appreciated

Pls let me know regarding how to recover from sciatica permanently as I have disc bulge thank you
I prefer the McKenzie method, best relief by lying on my tummy and doing the push-ups .
this is what zer-gravity chairs are for!

This position was very painful. Could not lift the leg
Is an iinversion table work for sciatica has anyone else used one and had good results
Can the prostrate cause sciatica?
Can we do push-ups with sciatica pain.
Should we need to do Mri if have sciatica pain that go down in leg from lower back
My physiotherapist said No need for MRI
If you want to get epidural shots or surgery they will require an MRI.
This last position is extremely painful for me, I don't understand why
There are times when no position will eliminate sciatic pain! You want to have your leg cut off.. it is so bad... I used to have my wife pull on my leg. It felt like it would eliminate the pain but it rarely did. Ended up getting discectomy and ruptured it again. Then had fusion...
This is true. So sorry to hear you had to have surgery but hope it helped!
@@HT-Physio Thanks and love the videos, keep them coming please!
What if the chair/platform isn't the Optimum height? Would that have an opposite effect?
Should still help in most cases as long as the knee and hip are bent sufficiently!
