Want to clarify something I mistakenly said. Sleeping on your back does not compress the organs, sleeping on your stomach does.

You have answered so many of the things that I have struggled with. The advice on the pillows was the best, I have many pillows I have tried now I see why many of them are wrong. I will seek out the right one now. You are open and informative, but most of all you actually care and your help is so very appreciated. Thank you will keep watching.
Have a beautiful night.

Hi Doc! GREAT video. I have had neck pain all my life. Two years ago, I had a 3 level ACDF. It has helped me tremendously. Of course, I still suffer, but I am no longer falling down! Thanks for all of your wonderful tips. I will be using many of them in my search for added relief. I agree with you that a great pillow and mattress is mandatory. I use a buckwheat pillow and I would fight someone if they tried to steal it from me. 😂
You're Amazing!! I Love You😘 for helping people the way You do. God Bless You🙏
Praise be to God I am alive, thank you for the advice, that's the wisdom of God. Prevation is better than cure, Blessed are you Doctor I have learned alot with love Saint Daisy South Africa

Omg that ice pack on the dog’s head was the best ever!! I love doggos!!

THANK YOU DR MANDELL, I can t thank you enough, thank you for all this information!!!!
Thank you for the great information. I have all the symptoms you are describing ( tinnitus, headaches, TMJ, back of the skull spasms ) and had no idea there were all related to the cervical spondylosis. My physicians did not make then connection either.
Do you get nausea or dizziness with it?
I had dizziness and nausea.
How to solve it
@@likhandas4024 ihave dizziness and nausea and then it makes me vomit like the exorsist where ever i am.the only thing that helps me is lying on my my back for some 15min,, nausea and dizziness you are pinching that nerve ,also ice also helps me
I have to try and sleep on my back and right side for most of the night but still have to switch to my left from time to time . . . such broken sleep for years and years. I basically have a few naps for my sleep. I have multiple issues, that being said, I appreciate your videos very much as they have helped me in many ways, and for many conditions.
love your videos doc, they're very clear and concise....thank you very much from Melbourne, Australia
The additional doggie picture was a happy moment~
Love your channel Dr Mandell!🥰🥰🥰

Great video lots of wonderful information. Bea
I have cervical spondylosis & bulging C-5/6, & a good bit of neck arthritis. I have a buckwheat hull pillow (similar to the bamboo mentioned), with a zipper so can add/remove some hulls to my level of comfort. I ordered a medium-sized but it's as big & heavy as a 3 year old toddler lol (I named it George haha)...So.. I ordered a set of zipper travel pillowcases (which are fairly small), & I added my preferred level of the hulls, (be sure to also use an outer "regular" pillowcase to wash with your sheets), this is my pillow. I'm keeping George (which still has plenty of hulls!) to refill as needed because the hulls do eventually deteriorate from use. I adjust it to fit my neck & head, I'm usually a back sleeper but will turn on my side at times & this works perfectly for both. Also, I made myself two "heaties" (my term), made from an old t-shirt (very comfy material!), they are rectangular pillows about 5"×13" I sewed, left a filler slot & filled with regular grain rice (can also add some lavender and other dried plants/herbs for a nice scent), not packed totally full, so they are adjustable/maneuverable, then finished by sewing up/closing the slot . I heat them in the microwave (don't overheat, usually 2-4 minutes is enough, depends on size & density but test for your comfort level, just don't burn them up!), after heating, I turn them back & forth to distribute the heated rice equally, wrap them/roll them up in pillowcases to provide insulation & protection from any burns, plus be able to wash this outer cover. Then I can place them wherever it hurts without risk of burning myself or electrical shock, better than a heating pad & the insulation keeps them warm all night. They're like my little buddies, keeping me snuggly warm & comforting all the hurting places, including my neck on especially painful nights. GREAT for winter, too, as well as kids tummyaches (use caution, never overheat!).
Thanks doctor. Very informative presentation.
Amazing tips as usual doc. God bless you
You are amazing!...thank you sooo much for empowering us💕
thanks so much for all your videos
Thank you for your informative video . I do have a annoying neck from a bike accident at age 9 , and also from a gym injury around the same age , really damaged my neck
Thank you very informative! Great video!
God bless!🤗😊
Thank u so much doctor!!! Was really very helpful!!!!
Thank you very much for sharing doctor,God bless you
Thank you Dr Mandela, I think you are great, straight to the point. I have a bulging disc in my neck and have been in severe pain last two days, thanks for the ice pack hack.
What is ice pack?
Thank you for the valuable information!
fantastic and informative. Thanks Doc.
Thanks a ton for your valuable advice!
Thank you for your informative videos! You are excellent at sharing how to address so many ailments we have. I just started going to a therapist for my neck issues. He was good in that he showed me the skull in the back and where my problems stem from. Im sure it’s from looking down at my computer over the years. Like so many Im still in search for the Perfect pillow😢 I’ll check out the bamboo pillow you showed. I also have apnea and cannot get used to all that paraphernalia on my head. If you have any tips on apnea I would really appreciate anything you can recommend. Thank you again for the time you spend offering your extensive advise. 👏👏👏👏
You are so good explaining!!!
You are so informative.Many thanks

Thank you so very much for sharing
Thanks Dr Mandell. I have been looking for such information since long. Very informative and helpful video.
I have a Jördkrok pillow from Ikea and it's comfortable and supportive.
Excellent work doc.
Thanks for sharing this information. 👍❤️🙏🏼
I needed to see this
Thank you so much!
Right and nise information. Thanks
I have this and unfortunately the tyre for me finally blew (yes I watched that episode too) I have a large disc bulge and nerve root impengment at C7 with spinal cord abutment. It is the worse pain I have ever felt in my life, with the left arm feeling like its slowly dying, constant deep pain and muscle twitching/spasms throughout the shoulder, arm, hand and thumb and first finger. Trying to manage it myself as the wait list is insane to see a specialist over here in Oz. So very grateful for all the tips and correct education you offer us. It has inpowered me to stop being depressed about the pain and start overcoming it and being pro active in fixing it. Thank you 👌🤗
Best of luck! Tell me how you go,.
excellent information thanks a lot doc
Great information..thank you so much it really helps!!!😁
Will you please link that pillow for us? Amazon has a zillion and I can't find this one.
Thank you Doctor, ❤️ agreed with your explanation 💯 percent.
I purchased a butterfly pillow and I love it. No matter how I use it I get relief and love that my airways are clearly open. I also have a problem with what do I do with my arms and this pillow is great because it has several ways to address the issues. I had numbness and tingling when I was sleeping on it. I am definitely going to buy another.
Can you pls tell me the name of your pillow thanks
Thank You Doctor and God bless ❤🙏

Thank u for your advice happy very feather pillow
Thank you for this videos. Would you recomend the use of a posture corrector?
I have C3 to C7 Degeneration (Spondylosis)
I have actually found sleeping without any pillow or head-prop to be very beneficial.
I've tried the Face-down type, the "U" Shaped (Just under & cradling my neck) & tempurpedic.
Nothing worked better than NO PILLOW or SUPPORT whatsoever.
It's counterintuitive but maybe we are simply socialised to think we need pillows.
How did you get it and how is going?
No pillow is best for me
Same here
it worked FOR YOU. That doesn't mean pillows are just a mass placebo.

What about dark choc for the mg
Hello, how are you?
I have a question. In November I had ACDF C5/C6 & C6/C7. I was diagnosed with myelopathy (with underlying Myelomalacia). I had a follow up MRI last month and it says I still have osteophyte disc bulge complexes pushing on nerve roots as well as foraminal narrowing impinging nerve roots (all moderate to severe (I honestly thought this was all going to be addressed during surgery, but it appears they failed to remove everything). Before surgery for fusion, the narrowing was only classed as minor or moderate in some areas, so this is a concern.
I also have what you describe as 'military neck'. I have noticed I have been getting some new symptoms due to the nerve root compression and was wondering what your thoughts are on me utilising a small rolled up towel (either just briefly during the day or for sleeping). I have concerns given that my neck has lost it's curve, and also because I have pressure on nerve roots (C5,6 & 7) and because I have had fusion (only 5 months post-op) and I don't want to cause any more problems.
Is it possible to slowly get the curve back by using a rolled up towel and would you suggest this be a good option for me as I worry about causing more strain and damage?
Thanks so much for your time Dr :-)
Thanks for the info sir
Thank you sir!
Very informative video doc. Anything specific for somebody suffering from ankylosing spondylitis?
Thank you sir.
LOVE YOU DOC 🙏
Thank you❤
