How are you now, a year later? I hope well. I’m in so much pain it’s horrible. Sharp stabbing pain in the back of my leg and comes out of nowhere with no warning. One moment I’m fine, the next, I’m on the floor, yelling while grabbing my leg. Night is the worst, it shoots off whenever. I’ve had this for years & would come and go, but this time its not going away and it’s been over 3 months of this zinging, sharp stabbing pain roughly 40-50 times per day. I’m seeing a chiropractor & usually does the trick, 3 adjustments and I’m good but not this time. I’m curios to know if you are better and if these exercises worked for you. I wish you and everyone here the very best. Oh, how my heart goes out to everyone here and all who live with pain.
I’m so thankful for your help because I’m suffering from Sciatica and Pirformis pain a lot that it makes me walking leaning on one side because the pain is so bad but I’m going to try the exercise thanks for the lesson
I am very greatful to discover a new way to relief my scartica pains, I have been in pains from my lower back down to my bum & legs for over a year, I would love to start the exercises immediately.
Hope is what I take away from this video. Thank you so much for that! Been healthy and active all my life, work as a coach in a sport I compete in, have had several ‘injuries’ over the years and have healed from them all. Then, I meet up with sciatic pain, and it is so tough to get accurate information. Exhausting to get through the day. So, am hopeful now that I found your video. Did the stretches and all were good until the ‘superman’., so I will bring the others into a daily practice. Taking your advice, prepping for bed. Have appt with chiro next week. I will keep watching you, appreciate your compassion. Thank you 🙏

I have not spelt in months. I am going to try this exercises out today . There are so many doctors out here that don’t care to explain a plane of care. I really appreciate you taking the time out to explain this to me .
Hey Dr posa, just found your channel and this video, just want to say thank you for making this. People who dont have back pain just dont understand what its like to try to just simply fall asleep and live normally day to day. The start of this vid you sound like you actually care, and know what youre talking about. Thanks for the info, im starting to understand that the more a person understands whats going on, the easier it is to manage and hopefully make the pain go away.
Thank you! This is something that happens sporadically. Is it because of a wrong movement, low with magnesium, or sleeping on pillowing wrong position. Or just wrong position for a length of time.. lifting or bending over picking up things.
You are very good and thorough with your explanations and demonstration's. Thank you so much. I am going through a sciatic flareup for the first time and did not realize pain could be so horrible. Thank you for giving me options. I was practicing what you were demonstrating during your video. Great job!
It is the first time seeing your video. I have looked at a couple before seeing your. I go for your exercises more. My sciatic has gotten worse about a week ago. I will check my Medical Doctor and practice your exercises. Thank you🙏
Thank You! I did the pillow between the knees last night and slept through the night for the first time in a month didn't even wake up for water. I was extremely privileged to have Prof Meyers (now sadly passed) as both friend and physician to help me with my AS and didn't know where to go when sciatica struck. Once again thank you 🙏
Thanks for the advice, I've gotten relief from sleeping on a ball placed under my left butt cheek, It feels odd like a dull pain but a pain that doesn't seem as annoying as the route problem.

Hello Dr. Posa, HELP!! I am an above knee amputee who is currently going through a sciatic episode. How do I get relief for lower back, cheek, and entire residual limb??
Dr. Posa: Doing overexertion at the gym, I developed a calf muscle strain or concussion. Let it go for few days hoping it would go away. It didn't. By then it became a bigger problem with excruciating pain and lack of sleep. A bad chiropractor made things worse. I found you on the internet and off all tutorials, yours is the most comprehensive, explanatory and honest. You're doing me a great service and just want to let you know how appreciative I am of your relief stretches and tips. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much for watching and I really appreciate the great feedback. I pray you get relief and resolution. I would make sure you are open with your Chiropractor and just let them know. You never know what else they can do to help. Make sure you get X-rays and scans. If you want a referral to an another Chiropractor please ask.

The Sciatica pain came back after all these years. It had been dormant for over 20 years. It was shear misery. I was besides myself in getting relief. I found exercises really helpful. So I’m still exercising. I’ve increased taking B12, Magnesium, & fish oil. I also take a multivitamin. Thank you for this video. It is very informative and helpful.

Fantastic help. I have 4 herniated discs and in constant lowere back and hip pain. Will definitely start ythis regimen that you have outlined. Thank you. Will continue to follow your podcasts.
I’ve just started having sciatica pain after months of dealing with planter fasciitis and ankle issues. With proper orthotics and some laser treatments, it seems to be easing up a bit. Over the weekend I started having pain in my upper glutes radiating down my legs. It got so bad yesterday, it was almost unbearable. I started watching these videos and this one seemed to help with the stretching and sleeping tips. I will definitely be trying the pillow tricks. Thanks for advice!
Waiting on knee surgery for rt knee, but it's messing up left side , bad sciatica. Went to chiropractor yesterday, God Bless him already feel a little better . Will be going regularly. Anything!!!
I actually do appreciate your help in dealing with sciatic nerve pain. For 3 years now going through this nubearab and disconforth status. Thank you surely I will try these.
I am one month postpartum. My baby was resting on the nerve all during pregnancy. I am in so much pain with this sciatica nerve. Some days the pain is a 10/10 and other days its a 8/10. I cannot put any pressure on my right leg and the leg is so weak that i need help to do everything. Sometimes i cannot get to the bathroom on time. Im in pain all day and it's worse when i wake up on a morning because i cannot get off the bed. I have watched this video and decided to put the pillow between my legs as im a side sleeper.. I cannot sleep on my back, it is too painful. I placed the pillow between my knees and a towel under my head. I already feel a relief and look forward to getting better.. thank you foor making this video.
Wow I can’t imagine being in that much pain and I’m so thankful you were able to get some relief. I would highly suggest seeing a corrective chiropractor that has training with pregnancy care and would also suggest a pelvic floor physio

So incredible of you to help and share this valuable information helping so many, me being one of them. I'm literally crying with attacks at the moment so I will definitely be taking your advice onboard. Thank you x
I have been active for all my life. Lift FB 3 days a week, walk/run intervals 3 days per week, then 2 days ago sciatica down both legs and it gets worse when I lie down (just glute/ham tightness while standing/sitting). The was no tweak or injury, just hit me out of nowhere. At 51, I know you have to be careful, but I thought I was. I haven’t been able to sleep now for three nights. Gets so bad that I have to get up out of bed. I’m going to try your recommendations. If you have any others that would be wonderful. Thank you so much for providing this info.
No problem! Don’t forget to watch my newest video on sciatica How to Treat Sciatica at Home in 3 easy steps | Dr. Matthew Posa ua-cam.com/video/t6eOgHQLbi4/v-deo.html
Great advice. Some new exercises to try out. Every night I struggle with a numb left leg when going to sleep and not being able to sleep. Eventually after taking some paracetamol or painkiller I am able to fall asleep. Thank you for creating this video. ❤
So thankful for this video! I’ve been in excruciating, unbearable pain for days with no answers and I have 5 kids to take care of. These stretches helped. Making a chiro apt asap!
Thank you for sharing. I can’t imagine what others are going through right especially a mom of 5. I’m so happy to hear this helped you and I hope things only continue to get better. 👊
I have had pain the last few days I now have toes on the pain side that are going numb after an adjustment from A chiropractor. I will try the stretches you recommended in hopes I start to feel better. Would love a recommendation on a chiropractor that would help with this sciatic pain in my area which is Naperville, Illinois Thank you
Definitely will do these tomorrow. The pain has been on and off, but lately it's intense. I don't feel it in my leg as much anymore but my lower back down my buttocks the last few weeks omg every time I get up it hurts so bad. I've been icing and stretching more, thank you for this video.
@drmatthewposadc thank you! I will watch. I was recently in a car accident, so I also have a rotator cuff injury from that accident but I was having this problem before the accident. I'm an registered behavioral technician so maybe just working with the kids and the constant bending and and sudden movements when the kids have these behaviors to keep them safe probably did it. I never had this problem before.
Thank you very much I have learned a lot from how you explained because I have this back pain sometimes it feels like your back are trying to meet the other side in the middle I will be trying your simple way you thought on your live to day thank you may bless you while you helped your people
I had a total knee replacement on May5th. On May 9th I developed sciatica pain on my entire right side from my bum to my ankle and I can’t seem to get rid of it. With the knee surgery, it is hard to do these exercises and I have 1-1/2 weeks before my tape comes off my right leg. I take magnesium and I’m using heat, but not much relief. Sleeping at night is the worst. What is the best way for me to approach this?
Thank you so much Dr. Matthew. I'm suffering from a bulging disc that's causing a lot of pain on my lower back, left buttock, thigh, leg and foot. It's too much pain and the pain meds does not help at all. I will follow your exercises and thanks for the advice on how to sleep with a lower back pain and sciatic pain. Take care and God bless.
My sciatica started in March 2023 due to L5-S1 compression. After initial medication which included multivitamin tablets, I have been taking continuous rest, and avoided body bending and lifting heavy objects as per medical advice. The pain has now subsided 99.99 percent. It required three months of rest to get a full cure. Taking continuous rest is the real key to get fully cured of the pain. This protocol must be good news for sciatica patients.
Hi we have the same problem. For now im taking some medicine and vitamins. I will try to do this exercises to relieve the pain. Thank you Dr. Posa for this video
@@komalmane5128 Rest means: Do not lift weights, do not stoop or bend down forward, avoid standing continuously but sit in such a way the lumbar is erect, and lie down on the bed belly up for as long as possible. The lumbar compression will release slowly, and pain will go away progressively.
Pretty cool...personally I bought a couple of big buckwheat pillows and place them on either side of me when I sleep as I can only sleep on my sides. I just pull the buckwheat pillow that's behind me up against my back and it provides great relief to me so that I can then sleep and get some actual rest.
Your advice gives me a lot of hope, I cannot seem to find a doctor in S.E. MO. instead of a Nurse Practioner who have constantly in the past year has not listened and they keep drawing blood at each visit. After a year and a half, I still have yet to meet the Doctor....... I really need help and extras to make certain what is going on and that has yet to happen.
I have being struggling with lower back pains that travels in the spine. With shocking electric, needle like sharp pains. Back pains also moves at times up the spine. Feels like it's giving off heat sensation. It runs down in the hip to the ankle in one side and it hurts more when I sit or try to sleep. It's consistent from October last year (2022) until now.
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 UA-cam, 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.
Oh my God thank you for sharing. I am going through with same exact problem and crying everyday. L4 and L5 disc slip came in my MRI and it’s getting worse but then I have this shoulder problem on left side muscular pain and it’s at its worst, nothing is helping. I am off the job can handle any work it’s just indescribable. I am going to try inversion table but if any body know anything about shoulder pain on left plz let me know I will be so grateful.
@annisheikh7736 Years ago, I had a friend who got a piece of wood big enough and laid it off the couch and laid on that on an incline. He said it helped relieve some pain!
Thanks Doc for your good advice l believe good advice is safety and healing will it by itself thank you so much l really appreciate your good work and pain is reducing
Im a side sleeper and the pillow between my knees and lower legs works wonders. After I tried it I was able to actually stand the next morning. Usually after a nights sleep I cannot even get up.
Just tried some of your stretches especially the one with the leg on the bed if felt so good.and so glad I was able to do a stretch that can rely target that area where I feel the pain and actually feel something that actually feels good to my leg. I have been suffering with sciatica for about two to three years and I also believe I have pudendal neuralgia and it's been horrible but I've been trying to heal my body outside of doctors and painkelblers my self and it has definitely been a challenge. But thank god everything's starting to ease up, I do cna work for my job and have been doing it for years so I have definitely taken a beating from this work and I also have a torn ligamen I had been working on on top of those other situations. Thank you so much for your help it is very helpful maybe I can get my life back. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
My first time watching your videos and i found this one incredibly amazing. You clearly explain what I've been feeling in my right leg and of recent I've started feeling it in the left one as well. What brings about tingling in the fingers? I have started feeling them also. Is there hope that if one followed your advice the pains would stop? Thank you for the shared info
I thank you very much for those exercisesI am trying to do them it is my 4 and 5 vertebrae but the terrible pain and numbness runs down the back of my right leg and my angle hurts so badly that i cant get up or walk sometimes as soon as i take my leg off the bed the pain starts and i am taking the magnesium glyunaite and bio flex triple strenght but i am crying every day with pain help me please
Thank you very much, you help me a lot. May the good God bless you with wisdom to keep on helping us. I was diagnosed with the same problem and they help me with a pain block injection that can take 12 months to release the pain but with your help it will go for ever.
I had just gotten a tempurpedic mattress a few months ago. I had to go to ER end of July, was flat on my back for over 3 weeks. They diagnosed sciatica! It was my left hip down the back of my leg & at the place where my leg bends at torso! As long as I lied flat, I had pain relief. Could not stand or walk without excruciating pain. After 2 weeks was starting to feel better but then one day the pain got so bad I was screaming for hours. It has been over 3 weeks & just now finally able to stand & walk! I never want to go thru this ever again.
So glad I came across this video, nothing seems to be working, it's going into a year now , I don't wish this pain on anyone. I'm very active all day but the night is what I dread,up 4-5 times a night every night it's making me crazy already. Definitely going to keep up with your information and hope for the best. Thank you for sharing and explaining in a way that is easy to understand

You’re welcome and best of luck!

I’ve just started having sciatica pain after months of dealing with planter fasciitis and ankle issues. With proper orthotics and some laser treatments, it seems to be easing up a bit. Over the weekend I started having pain in my upper glutes radiating down my legs. It got so bad yesterday, it was almost unbearable. I started watching these videos and this one seemed to help with the stretching and sleeping tips. I will definitely be trying the pillow tricks. Thanks for advice!
Thank you. Very useful and clear instructions, and I certainly try these exercises.
Wonderful!

I actually do appreciate your help in dealing with sciatic nerve pain. For 3 years now going through this nubearab and disconforth status.
Thank you surely I will try these.
I am one month postpartum. My baby was resting on the nerve all during pregnancy. I am in so much pain with this sciatica nerve. Some days the pain is a 10/10 and other days its a 8/10. I cannot put any pressure on my right leg and the leg is so weak that i need help to do everything. Sometimes i cannot get to the bathroom on time. Im in pain all day and it's worse when i wake up on a morning because i cannot get off the bed.
I have watched this video and decided to put the pillow between my legs as im a side sleeper.. I cannot sleep on my back, it is too painful. I placed the pillow between my knees and a towel under my head. I already feel a relief and look forward to getting better.. thank you foor making this video.
Wow I can’t imagine being in that much pain and I’m so thankful you were able to get some relief. I would highly suggest seeing a corrective chiropractor that has training with pregnancy care and would also suggest a pelvic floor physio
Thank you very much for sharing your health program, very useful so I can sleep easily.
Hi I absolutely found these exercises so helpful. Thank you.
Amazing! Thank you for the great feedback. I’m so happy it helped

This was by far the most helpful video I’ve watched on dealing with sciatica pain-thank you SO much❤
Thank you so much! Appreciate it a lot and I’m happy you got something out of it
Definitely will do these tomorrow. The pain has been on and off, but lately it's intense. I don't feel it in my leg as much anymore but my lower back down my buttocks the last few weeks omg every time I get up it hurts so bad. I've been icing and stretching more, thank you for this video.
Definitely try my stretches. It also sounds like it could be Sacoiliitis. Watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/5X-pi3INjiI/v-deo.html
@drmatthewposadc thank you! I will watch. I was recently in a car accident, so I also have a rotator cuff injury from that accident but I was having this problem before the accident. I'm an registered behavioral technician so maybe just working with the kids and the constant bending and and sudden movements when the kids have these behaviors to keep them safe probably did it. I never had this problem before.
Thank you very much I have learned a lot from how you explained because I have this back pain sometimes it feels like your back are trying to meet the other side in the middle I will be trying your simple way you thought on your live to day thank you may bless you while you helped your people
You are so welcome! And thank you for watching! I hope you get relief!
I had a total knee replacement on May5th. On May 9th I developed sciatica pain on my entire right side from my bum to my ankle and I can’t seem to get rid of it. With the knee surgery, it is hard to do these exercises and I have 1-1/2 weeks before my tape comes off my right leg. I take magnesium and I’m using heat, but not much relief. Sleeping at night is the worst. What is the best way for me to approach this?
Thank you so much Dr. Matthew. I'm suffering from a bulging disc that's causing a lot of pain on my lower back, left buttock, thigh, leg and foot. It's too much pain and the pain meds does not help at all.
I will follow your exercises and thanks for the advice on how to sleep with a lower back pain and sciatic pain.
Take care and God bless.
My sciatica started in
March 2023 due to L5-S1 compression. After initial medication which included multivitamin tablets, I have been taking continuous rest, and avoided body bending and lifting heavy objects as per medical advice. The pain has now subsided 99.99 percent.
It required three months of rest to get
a full cure. Taking continuous rest is the real key to get fully cured of the pain. This protocol must be good news for sciatica patients.
Hi we have the same problem. For now im taking some medicine and vitamins. I will try to do this exercises to relieve the pain. Thank you Dr. Posa for this video
I have same problem. Walking bent foward.going to try exercises I pray they help
Rest means?? Actually what do I want do??
@@komalmane5128 Rest means: Do not lift weights, do not stoop or bend down forward, avoid
standing continuously but sit in such a way the lumbar is erect, and lie down on the bed belly up for as long as possible.
The lumbar compression will release slowly, and pain will go away progressively.
@@ranganathans988how you feeling now ?
Thanks and hope you continue. This is very helpful. Will start exercising now!!
Pretty cool...personally I bought a couple of big buckwheat pillows and place them on either side of me when I sleep as I can only sleep on my sides. I just pull the buckwheat pillow that's behind me up against my back and it provides great relief to me so that I can then sleep and get some actual rest.
That’s a great idea. Whatever works so you can sleep.
Sleep is so important for healing
Your advice gives me a lot of hope, I cannot seem to find a doctor in S.E. MO. instead of a Nurse Practioner who have constantly in the past year has not listened and they keep drawing blood at each visit. After a year and a half, I still have yet to meet the Doctor....... I really need help and extras to make certain what is going on and that has yet to happen.
I have being struggling with lower back pains that travels in the spine. With shocking electric, needle like sharp pains. Back pains also moves at times up the spine. Feels like it's giving off heat sensation. It runs down in the hip to the ankle in one side and it hurts more when I sit or try to sleep. It's consistent from October last year (2022) until now.
Same thing I'm passing through pls any remedies to help pls share
Me 2 dear still this porblem 15 years I can't sleep
Current gone on my leg every time
Just found you, thank you! Now I’ve got a routine that is actually giving me some relief.
Wonderful! Thanks for watching
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 UA-cam, 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.
My godparents have used an inversion table for a couple of decades. They are both in their late 70’s and are still going strong.
Oh my God thank you for sharing. I am going through with same exact problem and crying everyday. L4 and L5 disc slip came in my MRI and it’s getting worse but then I have this shoulder problem on left side muscular pain and it’s at its worst, nothing is helping. I am off the job can handle any work it’s just indescribable. I am going to try inversion table but if any body know anything about shoulder pain on left plz let me know I will be so grateful.
@annisheikh7736 Years ago, I had a friend who got a piece of wood big enough and laid it off the couch and laid on that on an incline. He said it helped relieve some pain!
Someone explain more please
Can you share where you purchased your table and he name/manufacturer? Thanks!
Thank you Dr. Posa for sharing.May God continually bless you.
Same to you!
Very useful tips...thanks,doc. I love it.

Just tried some of your stretches especially the one with the leg on the bed if felt so good.and so glad I was able to do a stretch that can rely target that area where I feel the pain and actually feel something that actually feels good to my leg. I have been suffering with sciatica for about two to three years and I also believe I have pudendal neuralgia and it's been horrible but I've been trying to heal my body outside of doctors and painkelblers my self and it has definitely been a challenge. But thank god everything's starting to ease up, I do cna work for my job and have been doing it for years so I have definitely taken a beating from this work and I also have a torn ligamen I had been working on on top of those other situations. Thank you so much for your help it is very helpful maybe I can get my life back. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

The exercises you demonstrated really helped to relieve my sciatic pain. Thanks so much for Posting!#BigFan!
Great to hear! Thanks for letting me know it helped.
My first time watching your videos and i found this one incredibly amazing. You clearly explain what I've been feeling in my right leg and of recent I've started feeling it in the left one as well. What brings about tingling in the fingers? I have started feeling them also. Is there hope that if one followed your advice the pains would stop? Thank you for the shared info
I thank you very much for those exercisesI am trying to do them it is my 4 and 5 vertebrae but the terrible pain and numbness runs down the back of my right leg and my angle hurts so badly that i cant get up or walk sometimes as soon as i take my leg off the bed the pain starts and i am taking the magnesium glyunaite and bio flex triple strenght but i am crying every day with pain help me please
You just got a like and a new subscriber. Great content. Very informative 👏 thank you
Thank you Zizou!
Thank you very much, you help me a lot. May the good God bless you with wisdom to keep on helping us. I was diagnosed with the same problem and they help me with a pain block injection that can take 12 months to release the pain but with your help it will go for ever.
I had just gotten a tempurpedic mattress a few months ago. I had to go to ER end of July, was flat on my back for over 3 weeks. They diagnosed sciatica! It was my left hip down the back of my leg & at the place where my leg bends at torso! As long as I lied flat, I had pain relief. Could not stand or walk without excruciating pain. After 2 weeks was starting to feel better but then one day the pain got so bad I was screaming for hours. It has been over 3 weeks & just now finally able to stand & walk! I never want to go thru this ever again.
😊😊
What cured the pain?
@@reneehenderson9890 nothing. Got MRI & have herniated discs, it wasn’t sciatica. The pain comes & goes but I’m at least able to stand now.
@@nancydenmark4873 my new neurosurgeon told me I have bone spur in my lower back.
I'm at 9 weeks.. 24/7
I just tried these and they helped. I’ll do a full set tonight. Thank you so much!!❤
THANK YOU! I’ve been suffering for weeks.

So glad I came across this video, nothing seems to be working, it's going into a year now , I don't wish this pain on anyone. I'm very active all day but the night is what I dread,up 4-5 times a night every night it's making me crazy already. Definitely going to keep up with your information and hope for the best. Thank you for sharing and explaining in a way that is easy to understand
Best of luck! I can’t believe it’s been a year of this.
