    Thx you, I now understand my condition. I have been complaining of all of these symptoms. Was hurt at work, that doctor was a sham, he knew I had a significant injury but was trying to release me quickly. Thx you for helping me understand my L4L5 disc injury.

    First time I’ve actually gotten a straight answer
    Hope I can find more about radiating nerves in the pelvis
    And why can’t I stand on right tip toes?

    My L4 and L5 are bulging. The sciatica is bad on some days but since taking Will's advice I have been feeling better. Thank you 😊

    Exactly what I have @ L3/L4 with the classic pain pattern including numbness at the (L) patella down through the anterior tibia, including complete leg weakness, confirmed today with an MRI. Excellent explanation 👏🏽

    Thank you! Visited my physiotherapist this week and was told I had inflammation on my coccyx and a pinched L4 due to a fall down the stairs. :)

    Thank you. Fits my problem to a T. At the moment pain on the inside of my knee is excruciating at times. I’ve had the problem a while but the knee pain became suddenly much, much worse the day after my shingles vaccine about 3 weeks ago and hasn’t abated much in spite of physio, various different painkillers, ice packs and gels since then. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

    What are the best exercises to fix or reduce the pain on the side of the leg that is worse when I go to sleep and get up to use the bathroom. Thank you so much.

    Thank you for this video. You described my present problems exactly. Luckily my foot is not floppy. The problems started 2 yrs ago with classic sciatica pain down the left leg, to return now on the front side of the opposite leg exactly as you described. I am starting a new physiology cycle ( magnet, electricity, laser and pool therapy). Would you (not) recommend any of these or something else (I have L4 bulge disc with right lateral extrusion + L5 bulge disc)? Thanks!

      Sorry to hear about the problems you've been having! I don't have any strong opinions on any of the modalities of treatment you mentioned but hydrotherapy (in a pool) is often very helpful!

    I have a mild L4 bulge confirmed by MRI but it seems to be causing some slight quad weakness and not really any pain. Would you say this is common? (Weakness without pain).

      Just wanted to check back in. Any thoughts?
