26 years old and just got this diagnosed after a year. Just know your not alone people who are in pain.

I have a bulging disc L5 impinging upon the left S1 nerve root and facet joint arthropathy at L3-S1 .... Bob and Brad's advice, help and exercises are really helping me control the pain. I may need surgery but I'll do everything in my power to avoid this. They're wonderful men and I hope Bob is doing as well as possible too.
L3/S1 does not exist.
@@matticus6339 Lower lumbar segments according to my MRI but you're obviously a world renowned expert. Thanks for your input. Helpful af.
Thank you! I‘m watching this from Paraguay, have now seen a lot of your videos and I‘m very glad about it. Here I find information and advice that all the doctors and therapists here don‘t know, or won‘t give. Thank you so much!
What a BLESSING you both are and a sense of HUMOR also !! ❤️❤️ God bless you both !! 🙏
Thank you so much for all these videos, this is such a great informative one!!
Guys thank you so much for the information. Definitely appreciate the education on a topic that is very important when you have this problem. Had a car accident 15 years ago and through all of my information gathering never saw information quite this clear. Thanks again .you are by far the most famous PT's on the internet🌝👍
You guys are great I have been dealing with sciatica for over 2 years now. My worst was tripping over due to a numb left leg. Now these days I am focusing on the pain in my L5 region due to a protuding disc. Your videos are knowledgeable and reflect the high quality of knowledge you provide.
Not going for surgery?.
I hope you are having at least some improvement by now. I’m scared as I wait for my MRI results. It’s been 6 months now. For me as well, my left leg and foot mainly have been numb, hurting, etc… that I have to use a cane. I’m only 29 and don’t remember getting injured. I’m a warehouse worker been out of work almost since this happened, and can’t even move the toes in my foot. Physical therapy only made it worse. Sciatic sucks.
Edited: typos and clarity
@@JM-ob7mb dont give up! Having support from friends and family helps alot. I feel you i was a warehouse picker and wow did they do me dirty. Keep the faith
Is your leg still numb and weak?

You guys have a video on everything! Thank you so much
thank you guys your both great and funny helping others
Great exercise ideas and other options with the chairs. I have done the McKenzie exercise, it relieved a bit of my lower back, it returned. My pains are in my lower back and SI, S2, and S3, Piriformis, buttocks, both hips back and front. Back of my legs down my feet.. and left pinkie and groin pain. I think besides my lower back with the Sciatica pain, there's definitely something wrong with my SI Joints.. In PT they had me do the rubber ball between my thighs and squeeze and hold.. This exercise increased my pelvic pain, that lasted for days. Couldn't take it anymore and went to the ER.
Thank u guys I’ve had my buldging disc for 6+ months ima skateboarder just started watching u guys a lot of videos y’all have made have gave me relive and helped with my healing my bulge is mild any advice would be cool
Thanks Bob and Brad for these sciatica videos. I'm 18 years old and have been dealing with sciatica leg pain for a couple of months now and your videos help a lot. And for those who have been dealing with sciatica for years.... I'm sorry

A roll of bubble wrap works awesome to make the perfect sized roll for your lower back! Just remove the excess bubble wrap until you are at the perfect fit for your body.

I have been singing your jingle also to my friends, and now the word's spreading! Thank you for the videos :)

Thank you both so very much
Thank you for the videos they are extremely helpful especially after getting brushed off by doctors who think you are pill seeking as soon as you mention pain. I have multilevel disc bulging with other issues from L3L4-L4L5-L5S1 and im in miserable pain most days
I am exactly the same, had surgery 3 years ago and MRI scan shows the disc is protruding further. It’s rotten
You are the best. I’ve felt immediately relieve after years and years living with pain. Thanks, so much!
Happy to help!
Thank u thank u! I just got diagnosed with this specifically!
really good, I appreciate you
Thank you very much

Hey Bob and Brad. What's up. Ive been doing the press ups for about 5 weeks straight. Sciatica down my left thigh still not getting better. Love your channel.
I can help you
high chairs works beautifully for me...relief right away. hope it was last. thank you, always. much appreciation to you two.
Thankyou both for your info, i always enjoy you show and tell helps understand alot better, i have started follwing yall for over a month now ( the amount of time i have been suffering of sciatica) i have a question what happens if you get better from the calf to hip but symptoms (burning needles and electric shock like pain)persist in the foot ?
Toe extention is impossible and now my foot is swelling
I have to do these exercises a few days 🙏
thanks you guys
Hey B&B, thanks for your videos! I've been doing that hanging thing from the top of my interior door frames. But when I do it, my wrists hurt. Should I do something to support my wrists before or during? Also, a couple of suggestions. Wear a colored shirt (not white) if you are demonstrating against a white background. Personally, I prefer your videos filmed in your exam room rather than that boring white room.
Going to try all this out, wish me luck.
Thank you for sharing. What does it tell if I feel relief by climbing steps for the same pain reason we have been describing here? Does it consider one of the exercises or altogether a different problem?
Appreciate this video. I had l5s1 disc replacement 2 weeks ago, i feel great standing and walking however, when im laying in bed and i start toss and turn around a bit i get intense pain in my glutes and tailbone. Its unbelieveable. Then i am literally stuck in bed. I didnt have this pain before surgery. Have you heard of this before
Very good ideas 👍👍👍
Hi Bob & Brad, thank you so much for all you do! I have watched all your videos related to sciatica twice while I've been out of commission for a couple of months... I wish I had discovered you before I did the damage... I've had sciatica before so I did exercises that had previously worked for me... I was happy when the pain left my back, went to my thigh...then down my calf to my toes... I kept doing the exercices and really damaged my foot... eventually couldn't walk... foot was cold... it was bad...came across McKenzi method and stopped everything I had been doing... allowed my body to heal... pain and hypersensitivity in foot has significantly improved... traction helps, numbness in great toe subsides when I hang off counter 10 times per day... walking 3 times per day with no tingling or numbness in foot or toes during walk... and I feel pain in back which is good right..? on the right track.. here's the question: when I do the McKenzie method cobra push up, I can push myself all the way up, lock arms BUT when I do that I feel tingling in toes... should I push through or not..? I floss but it feels wierd so I only do it once or twice per week.. I'm 61, athletic, runner/ yoga practitioner so I typically push myself through discomfort... unsure if I should... that's what got me into this trouble... learning to surrender... Colleen from Canada
How are you doing. Now?
@@Cupillac I am 97%... it's been a learning process... why do you ask.?
@@sarahconnor9799 did you allow your body to heal or did you pushed it through? I am very athletic too snd and I can't stay inactive 😔
Hi la divina, I had no choice but to surrender... the process of healing sometimes requires us to come to a complete stop... to go into the pain... sometimes pushing through cause me to injure myself again, so I learned everything I could about sciatica due to herniated discs vs periformis muscle... I had both... and learned to listen to my body... I'm 98%... still working on it...there are things that trigger set backs such as long drives... so I need to limit driving... hope this helps
Did u heal I'm 5months pain with no sciatica only back pain from disc bulge to the left L5 and s1 how do I heal did ur back pain go away?
Thanks very much for that...sciatica sucks....I'll definitely try out what you've suggested. UK.
Thanks guys. Watching Aug 2022. Watching from Ireland
Thank u sir
Your marketing is on point. I get your theme song stuck in my head sometimes! 🤣 Thank you for your content.
This was a very resourceful video. Love you guys! 🙏🏻⭐️
Very good, ´´I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees. - Euripides´´
That statement doesn't mean what they think it means!!!
I believe the original quote refers to human rights--he'd rather die on his feet fighting for his freedom than live a life of servitude bowing to someone else. That said, these are smart guys with a sense of humor....I assume they're very well aware of that and are cleverly spinning it in their favor.
Hi Bob, hi Brad,
Thank you for the great video!
Bob, I think we both have similar condition. Spine stenosis. I see you are wearing a special belt on the video. Could you share what it is? Thank you kindly,
Jon
Thanks. I will do the exercises. I have problem with my L5 S1 disc.
Catchy song 😊
Glad I found this channel
Guys really helpful and grateful for the video. I suffer from a l5S1 prolapsed disc and do get alerts periodically that I've done 'too much' with the back and have to go easy. Can I ask - am I able to go shark / big fish shore fishing etc with this injury. Is it possible to do this without further injury? Cheers Adam 👍👍
I have been dealing with sciatic never pain going on 4 mo's. I have been doing all of these exercises & nothing is working. The constant pain in my lower back, buttocks, pelvis, & the pain in the front of lower leg & throbbing pain my ankle(left side) has started to wear me down even mentally. I take strong pain pills, muscle relaxers & nerve pain meds with little to no help. The pain is worse when lying down & I can only sit on the right side of my buttock. The stretching exercises are excruciating, but I try to do them daily even though my buttock _ thigh start to spas _ cramp. I've had multiple visits to the chiropractor, multiple steroid injections (get only 1 day of SOME relief) & the si joint injection provided absolutely no relief. I'm still doing the pool aerobics bc it's easier to exercise in water, but will stop as the pain is still debilitating especially when waking in the morning which is usually any where from 2 to 4a.m. as I can NOT find any position comfortable enough to lay down. My pelvic bone hurts so bad that tears literally run down my face. Just sitting on the toilet & Even coughing is so painful. I can't sleep but 2-4 hrs bc the pain is so bad. I'm exhausted & frustrated.
Asking for prayers from all who believe.
I’m praying for you! Hope you feel better now.
I have the same kind of pain and it’s been a year since the pain started. Some days are better then other
How are you doing? I have some similar pains I can’t sleep on any side…. Frustrating! Can’t stand for 5 min. Also I wake up in pain.
I just prayed for you hang in there I hope you get better
Praying for you...
My better half had herniated disc along with pain in leg...so I could understand the pain....god bless you ND all in pain...
If anyone had a options for treatment ...kindly suggest
Praying for you. How is it going?
What can I do for l5 slippage over s1 and siatica like your video
Thanks for your great videos. I've got a question for you. What's the difference between posterior and anterior bulging? Which one is worse?
Good night Bob n Brad, what causes pain at the back of the neck. I'm not sure if it's called the upper spinal cord.
thanks I am 15 and this is so helpful
What can I do if it hurts bending forward and also bending backward while standing?
Love u sir u r doing a good hob
hey guys! i have a bulging disk l5s1, iv been unable to do anything for weeks now and been suffering with this for years and mt doctors refuse to give me surgery yet. my lower back is always swollen and the pain that radiates there is agony now. your videos help me a lot though! for years now been watching :)
How are you now hope you're doing well ❤️🩹
Can’t do many exercises because of bad knees, had 1 knee replacement need another one but putting off as long as I can. Also have baker’s cyst in that knee which is acting up now again, have to go up steps only with the one with knee replacement first down on other one one step at a time and can’t without holding on to rail
I have a broad based protrusion on LT lateral disc between L5-S1. Also DDD @42 yrs old. Sciatica is on my left leg for 2 months and no pain on my lower back except for when I do the McKenzie method but very rarely. The pain originally started on the lower back was there for 1 week went away started again and was there there for 3 weeks. Didn't figure out that the reason wasn't really from vacuuming or trying to clean the toilet but from sitting in the car for 3 hours each time prior to doing these things. Also standing for 2 long can cause sciatica as well. Who would of thought this. Pain doesn't always come from injury or old age and disease. Tried Gabapentin it does not work and withdrawal was a little scary. Some people like can't take anti-inflammatory meds. I tried stretching before watching Bob and brad and it spread the Pain from my thigh further down to my foot even though I didn't feel pain while doing it. Please don't try to touched your toe when you have sciatica. This has been the most depressing time of my life. I have 2 young kids to take care of and during covid times. Any one living in Virginia with a successful treatment to sciatica please respond. Doesn't matter what kind of treatment. Thanks.
Have you found any relief? Please let me know. Dealing with a similar issue.
Walking and only walking for 6 km daily gave me relief from this miserable pain of sciatica.... Thanks guys... Thanks a lot.but I still can't sit in chair for Long time... My disk has been fixed by physiotherapist 3 months ago.
I find that sitting back in my chair is not good for my lower back (which does have an L5S1 disc bulge) - this is because the back of the seat is LOW compared to the front of the seat. I have found I sit forward and tall is helpful. (most of the time I use a standing desk)
I am a wheelchair user and recently hurt my back with prolonged leaning over. My sciatica only goes to above the back of my knee. I’ve had 2 previous surgeries over 20 years ago for a re-occurring disc prolapse but it was mainly the other leg.
I am so sorry!
I hope you get better!
Sir, thanks for all videos.... Its help me practicing to my patients....
Great content guys. Please next time you do a disc bulge vid.. you need to mention the coccyx cushion.. this paired with a good lumbar cushion at the same time. can equal pain free driving for people enduring this injury. Thanks
A coccyx cushion to elevate your bottom too?
@@sixfittyonembitties they have a cut out at the back to take the pressure off your spinal discs while seated and they also help with posture
I was carrying luggage in both hands down the stairway and missed the step with my left leg and came down two steps down. Suffered for 3 weeks with sciatic pain although the first 6 days were the worst...maybe an hour of sleep a night. Still not sure if it was piriformis or lumbar disc. Much better now although recently I've been having transient numbness in my foot everyday.
It'll be great if you can cover what to do once the pain centralizes in to the lower back?
Thank you guys for what you do and how much you educate us. I'm" relatively" young 36 and got diagnosed with bulging disc l5-s1 I don't have any nerve pain thank goodness but the discomfort not pain stops me from doing what I love which is MMA. 😭 So I'm doing some physical therapy to help it and hopefully fix it
Bro, im 18 and have the same shit, i train boxing and it sucks.

Did u did your therapy by chiropractors or by some neurologist?
Bob , Brad. Thank you for these videos! My daughter (in her early 20s) has had a pain in the buttocks (central buttock) for several years. She has had x-rays , gone to a chiropractor, and done manual work from physical therapy.Recently a doctor requested 4 MRIs, of both hips, pelvis and coccyx… and the only thing that came out weird was L-5, S1 bulge … her pain is not down her leg . Are these exercises helpful if the pain is in the coccyx area? Her pain only happens when she tries to run more than 8 to 10 minutes. The pain calms down when she doesn’t run, but the fact that she can’t do much aerobic stuff that is normal for peers of her age is really affecting her .
Do you ever discuss when things go further than disc bulges......like cauda equina and how to manage this??
Hey guys I love your vids and seem to have some back pain when I squat but I can’t seem to figure out why I watch a lot of your videos but still can’t pin point it. The pain is low back slightly to the right of my spine and it starts to hurt as soon as I start to go down in the squat (even with light weights)
Muscles!
God bless both of you. I am an Indian and you guys are making it understand in a very simple way that even i am getting it properly
