I have had femoral nerve pain over two years. I could have really used this video at the beginning as the constant pain was unbearable. I spent hours scouring the internet and visiting numerous doctors and therapist who did not believe the pain I was describing was ‘real’. I went from being active to being house bound and unable to walk. I finally got my life back, it has taken everything to rehabilitate and I still feel some pain but is manageable. Keep fighting for yourself and never give up. There is always hope when you see a sliver light through a dark tunnel. If you have these symptoms, show this video to your doctor.
How did you fix it? I believe I how femoral nerve pain
@@dylankruse4054 Hi I had a nerve ablation done as medication did not work. This is not a permanent fix as it may require a repeat in the procedure. I still have a flare ups in pain but I manage them by continuing to exercise and stretching . Good luck
Oh my goodness! Two years! I have had it (I believe that is what I have) for two days and the pain is worse than labour pains. It is REAL. I am so glad you found relief. I will definitely advocate for myself, thank you!
If you are a male, please tell me, did your testicles hurt as well. It’s being two months, and after 3 ultrasounds, urine and blood samples nobody can figure out what my problem is. I’m getting desperate. My inner thigh and my testicles hurt like crazy. Appreciate the help
@@elmerramalho7841 Nah I got a different problem still haven’t figured it out but I know there’s video on this channel addressing inner thigh numbness it’s a serious problem try to find a doctor that can help
Finally a clear cut explanation of my issues. My herniated disc confirmed this. Thanks guys!
This is totally incredible. I would almost call it miracle like. I had pain for WEEKS and finally figured out what it was, a femoral nerve that must have been pinched. I started YESTERDAY with the exercises and today I have almost total relief! Thank you so much for the great information! You both may or may not be the most famous PTs, but you are definitely a lifesaver!
Wow have you continued to improve?
The pain initially in my hip and eventually in my upper thigh brought me here. Thank you guys will try your exercises and see how it goes.
I have femoral nerve pain. It made me feel better to even see a video addressing it and the differences between sciatica and f.n pain. I learned something from your video. Thanks for making it.
I have had femoral nerve pain on and off for years. I used you sketches for the first time and it almost completely went away. I'm a carpenter and have been hobbling around so this has been a game changer .Thank you
Did the exercise at 8:40 and boom my pain in my lower back shooting down my leg gone...wow ok subscribed
It's no joke that you two are the best PT's on the web and probably the WORLD! The way you guys explain it is so clear, concise an charismatic! Totally helped me get a better sense of what was going on to be better prepared when I talk to my PCP and eventually PT and Chiro.
I have shared many of your videos with my clients. Thanks for your generosity in sharing these simple things to try in order to feel better.
Thank you for covering this topic, my FIL has been incapaciated off and on for the past year with femoral nerve pain, I'm going to drive to his house and show him this right away
I reckon you guys are so close to fix that broken heart, thank you!
@hony mood Thanks for the video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Parlandealey Leaving Pain Process (do a google search)? It is a good one of a kind product for learning how to cure Sciatica minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my cooworker got astronomical success with it.
Bingo! This is my newest issue! Pain started about 10 days ago. I didn't want to see my doctor over something minor, so as I typically do, I come to Bob & Brad for suggestions and ideas. Femoral nerve pain it it! I'll follow these two stretches for a few weeks and see how it feels. With (right) hemiplegia I always seem to have one issue or another with that side. I also have peroneal nerve issues, (that I had discovered here) and my physical therapist helped me a ton! Frustrating, but I just do what I have to do. Thanks for keeping us all on track with fitness.
I have seen several ortho doctors and physical therapists since 2015 and they missed my femoral nerve as the cause. I had tremendous pain when sitting, radiating in my thighs to the top of my knees. Thank you so much!!!
You guys were just about to go in to how to figure out if it's from muscular hip impingement or a herniated disc, and then you stopped and went in a different direction. How do you tell? It's clear to me I have this, but knowing the source would be golden... I wish that one guy had not interrupted and taken it in a different direction because that would have been a real diamond for me.
Great video, I hurt myself at the beginning of lock down, this helped.
Love you two! OM goodness first time, no one has ever told me that before and I believe you two.
Pure life savers to this busy nurse!
Hello guys, thank you for your therapy I am using your videos. I can not afford to pay $45 a session. You have saved me from a lot of pain. Bless you both my hip pain & & font of mu upper leg is getting better.
My Doctor & therapist both missed this ! Great Job for the help !
Omg, everytime I'm having issues you guys come with a video! Thank God for you guys! 👐🏽❤
This was great, thanks, been searching for "what triggers sciatica?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Sonictoria Stupefying Smasher - (search on google )?
It is a great one off guide for discovering how to stopping your sciatica minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin got excellent results with it.
I love the energy between you two! You guys are so cool!
I think you guys are Golden! This has help me tremendously.
I have sciatica and feminal nerve pain, I went to doctors for years and they just ignored me. Now my pain is so bad I can hardly walk luckily I have found new doctors that are trying to work with me waiting on appointment is excruciating.
I understand you Dianne. Most doctors will never listen deeply t the patient symptoms and find a way t help which is why we consult with them. Yourre in my prayers for God and also Padre Pio to heal you and all of us COMPLETELY. 🙏
Hello Diane. How go
I have pain in my fron leg radiate to the knee
Is painful to walk
I get this intermittently (several years). Recently getting similar in right leg. Just tried those last 2 Bob did and am finding some instant relief. Big THANKS from me. Will keep doing everyday and see how it goes. I actually thought I had Sciatica, so getting this clarification is enormously helpful.
Yep it’s sucks I’ve had sciatica since I was about 16 but this is new I’ve only had the meralgia parasthetica for about 4 months now but it’s severe for some damn reason…getting an MRI today or tomorrow though so wish me luck! I had a really bad brown recluse bite that destroyed the nerve in my inner lower right leg 2 years ago so that’s my only concern is if the 2 connect cause the spider bite has screwed up my lower leg and now this is screwing up the upper part lol
Watching several of these videos to trying to find relief for my chronic hip/back pain, I realize that my yoga practice that I put on hold, actually incorporates most of these exercises. I need to pick my yoga back up again.
Wow, I'm grateful for the knowledge you two are imparting on us, but I'm beyond impressed at how well you two work together. I feel like your teamwork is the lesson we really need to be absorbing!
You guys nailed it! You absolutely described my femeral nerve pain, I have all those symptoms.
My GP called it sciatica and when I suggested it might be femeral nerve pain he said "Well we use 'sciatica' to generically describe back pain - so it could be sciatic nerve or it could be femeral nerve". That's what we get in Canada - that's the 5 minute diagnosis where you have to travel almost 2 hours, wait 3 to 5 hours and get a "generic" back pain diagnosis + pain meds. That's it.
C'est la vie en Canada.
At least now I have a treatment plan from various sources - you guys are one of them + an online physio and possibly + local physiotherapist. It was extremely painful at first but after 3 weeks I am surprised at how much self-healing is going on, with very little stretches or nerve flossing but am doing all these things daily now. A heat pad helps a lot as well but it's still numb on the inside/front thigh, travelling through the groin.
thank you so much! I had this unbearable pain suddenly happen 3 days ago. I spent two days in bed and using heat on it. Today i can get out of bed on my own and walk without pulling up on my pantleg as a sling to move the leg. These three simple exercises are so helpful and heartening.I just did all 3 and the foot pull, head drop seemed to have the most noticeable effect. I have been lax about my yoga practice for a while and now I'm committed to get back at it.
Those exercises really really work. I was in a lot of pain for weeks started to go within 24 hours of starting these exercises. Thank you very much.
Flossing works I have been in extreme pain with Femoral pain great info
Legit the most wholesome channel there is!
Top notch content, as always! These suggestions are helping me pretty immediately. Thank you! You guys are the best. On Wisconsin! Sorry Bob!
So appreciate your channel! I have a pinched femoral nerve related to tight hip flexor/iliopsoas... (history of Tendonitis but recently it’s just from being on the floor ALL the time with a new puppy, going on 3mos.)-I went to the doctor, and he said basically “yeah well you have a pinched nerve, here’s a two page pamphlet on back exercises, and no telling if your leg will ever not be numb again,” and that was it, so unhelpful! I learned more from your channel in a few minutes, than from the hour I wasted going to the doctor! THANK YOU!! I will try these exercises and hopefully will get some relief!
I have had trouble walking for the past 24 hours. I did the press-ups. INSTANT RELIEF!! I'm still sore. It's not 100%. But ... WOW!! So much better with that very simple exercise. Thank you one million times!
Thank you❤ Great information on your channel. You have saved me from so much pain. ❤
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I was worried but you brought my stress level down
you guys are wholesome , and yes i might have the femoral nerve issue
Yes the last thing brought relief to my leg. Thank you.
This gave me INSTANT relief!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Valuable information thank guys
been suffering for several weeks now, started as a golf injury, widening my stance to get more distance, had the pain down the outside of my hip then it moved to the top/inside of my thigh, punched in nerve pain leg, these two boys came up,i tried the push ups they said for femoral and Im walking brilliantly, Thanks a million lads,
Yal have helped me so much this year. My femoral nerve and sciatic have issues. I get numbness down my right thigh, then twice this year groin flare up that went down my thigh to inner thigh and to the back of it. All nerve pain, like a branch of lightning spurting. I did these exercises tonight and felt the stretch of it and got some relief. Ill be keeping it up the next few days. Thanks guys.
has your condition improved?
WOW! I never heard of femoral nerve pain. Figured it was sciatica and have been following your sciatica program. It’s helped immensely, knowing mine is a femoral issue helps with focused exercises It’s definitely femoral! Thank you, thank you! Greatly appreciate your videos.
Wow have you improved?
@@user-wb2yv7ll9d Yes!
@@TheBptang 👍
You guys are very good God Bless you and your Family’s
I, too, have a femoral pain with pings and tingles and sometimes it hurts in the front of hip area.. these stretches help so much.. Never stand on a ladder twisted painting a ceiling.. that's what happened to me... ouch 2 years now and still have issues from sitting too long... front thigh area mostly...
Wow. My problems started in the same way, painting stand on a ladder. At the beggining I felt a weakness in my left calves. With the time the pain inscreased until been unbearable. After I startedto feel a fire in the internal part of my leg, finnaly my femoral start to feel numb, specially after get out of my car. After the first two or thre steps can´t extend completely the leg and started with difficulty to walk. The streeching excercies has give to me a new posibility. I do them three times at day.
im now treating myself, and these exscercises do work for me.thanks guys for info..from australia...
I did the stretch ONCE and the pain in my legs was gone. Gone!! Also, I did your exercises and positions for Radiculopathy and months long pain was gone in 2 days. Completely gone. You provide such a valuable service. Thank you from my heart.
Thank you, Bob and Brad. 💕
That last move just relieved my nerve pain. Nice
Phenomenal video and thanks so much 🙏
Love you guys so helpful❤️
I am really excited to try this stretch.
You guys are awesome!
Thank you , perfect information,.
Want to thank you both you really under stand. I have had shots did stretches the hole works now I have chiropractor helping bye calfornia
Wow, I had pain from sitting for a few days. Thankfully it's not a nerve issue but a very tight hip flexor. Works and hip feels good!
You are showing great methods
Thank you!! Chiro can’t help me it seems so I sincerely appreciate this video ! Pain is so much better after exercises shown here !
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thanks! I had the pain two days and this video helped. I have been crying out loud since then
For me frm yesterday. I can't make moves it get pain
Ive had severe bi-lateral peripheral neuropathy from lateral cutaneous femoral nerve impingement. Ive tried nerve flossing, had multiple injections, prescribed gabapentin and tramadol and am now suggested facet joint injection. Grief I wish you had a miracle cure exercise.
OMG! So the femoral nerve is what I've suffered with for the last ten months! About two weeks post op, I developed EXTREME nerve tingling running down the front of my right leg - it felt like an electrical, a strong electrical shock ! I also started having vertigo and incontinence issues at the same time. The doctor sent me for an MRI and referred me to a spine clinic where they also had me get two more MRI's and nerve tests on my hands. Carpel tunnel on both wrists AND a slipped disc. The choices I was given were to have surgery or they could send me for ONE physical therapy visit. Then Covid 19 happened. No physical therapy. I was so close! In the last month (July 2020) it has gradually decreased. Now I get tingling in random areas of my leg which includes my foot. Thank God for UA-cam . I've done a lot of searching and stretching which I have to say, thanks to both of you and UA-cam.
My pain is in the groin. Ugh. CT scan coming. Right leg has not been 100%. Four years and finally getting to the bottom of it all.
@@laurafraser-graham4345 I wonder why it takes years. 😔 People over age 65 can go directly to a neurologist if it is debilitating, like hard to walk or tolerate. Let us know how your scan went.
@@alysonmel3681 it is actually my prudental nerve which encompasses anal to clitoris. The perineal nerve comes off prudential, I am having two issues. I am on UA-cam starting PT as I am getting some relief but not sure what is next.
@@laurafraser-graham4345 I think I have the same problem do you feel pressure in the pelvic area in addition to the leg?
I have the same thing... What helped??
Thanks guys!!👍👍
Thanks great service life saver
I can't tell you guys thank you enough. I have had 2 surgeries on L4-S1 and L3 needs a boost, the dr. said it was SI pain which shows some arthritic change but not so significant to cause the pain levels I am at today. I kept telling them it's in the front - it goes down the back, through my hip, down my quad, and making all the way numb! I am NOT Crazy!
YOU ARE NOT CRAZY! AND THIS IS A VERY OBVIOUS DIAGNOSIS. Typically in med school, they receive way less than maybe a month on musculoskeletal injury diagnoses. And unfortunately some surgeons are like car salesman. They will call it something that is "unfixable" by any other alternative and push you into surgery quickly. I am a physical therapist and out of probably 50 orthopaedic surgeons, I can name on one hand the ones that are actually practicing ethically. Unfortunately, conservative options do not fill their pockets. Remember, when it comes to musculoskeletal pain, a general MD/DO is a jack of the trade, meaning they deal with a plethora of other diagnoses such as diabetes, obesity, flu, COPD, etc and do not specialize in one thing typically. See someone that is a master of the trade and is 100% all they do is musculoskeletal primarily physical therapists, even some new school chiropractors
very good recommendation excellent helps me
You guys are amazing I remembered asking you guys questions ages ago when I’m still a physio student and I can’t believe you guys answered my comment back then! :) really inspired me to be a good physio since 🥰🥰🥰 sending my respect and love all the way from Australia

You are great ****works for my tight hip flexor - Thanks from France***best regards Mike
Thank you guys 🙏🏼🙏🏼
amazing, i realize now my pain is coming from my femaral nerve i could feel it stretching in my spine when i put my head down. great video thank you
Glad to hear it was helpful!
Thanks. : ) i had the sciatic pain. Painful all the way dow to ankle, very painful both hips. Dr. tested reflex at ankle weaker than other. Dr. Ordered decompression. Therapist ignored the order. When I was laying prone therapist pushed down on my lower spine 3 times. It hurt. I sat up. (trust gone) He told me no restrictions and I could mow part of my lawn. Lowerback muscles both sides are a bit weak now and become sore with partial bending. Hip joints ok now. Have had shingles a few times prior and similar problem other side 2 yrs prior.
Bob and Brad, the two most famous, physical therapist, on the Internet!
In our opinion, anyway, Rhee.
I can't stop singing this 😡
This was great, been searching for "what can i do for foot pain with herniated disk" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fenulian Prefatory Future - (just google it ) ? It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering how to expose the trick to beat down your sciatica back pain problems minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
I commented on this video about a month ago, and I wanted to give an update in case it helps anyone here. I started doing deep tissue massage on my back and legs. My testicle pain has improved a lot…I have no words. For the past week I’ve had very minimum pain in my groin and testicles. My inner thighs still hurts, but much less. Please consider this option as one of the possible treatments you can try. I hope that helps.
What type of massage therapist did you go to for this? I am having the same issues. Thank you so much!
@@IAMT3XAS Where I live they call it deep tissue massage. There’s a few videos on UA-cam about it
Damn I’m glad my pain is just sciatic nerve and the burning numb thigh from the meralgia parasthetica…I hope my testicles don’t start hurt too…
I can use any advice right now. I go to the doctor tomorrow because my right leg hurts so bad. I will ask my doctor about my massage tomorrow
@@shenequakimbro5146 I hope the best for you man
Being in pain and watching this, I wish you guys would get to the point faster. I appreciate this either way, Thankyou.
I can't thank you enough for this video. after suffering from unbearable pain for almost 7 years I was finally able to discover that I have a pinch nerve in my lower back. This video helped my pain get better. I got prescribed gabapentin, but I'm really scared to try it.
Happy we could help.
Hi Bob and Brad!
Can you please do a video for home recovery after back surgery? My daughter is having cement injected into her spine.😟
Thanks for everything. Your help during these times are so appreciated! God bless! 🤍
Did you ever get a response!. I too had cement injected and now am having issues.
This was super helpful. I’ve dealt with sciatica most of my life. I know what that pain feels like. For me it’s my right side and the pain travels from my lower back, down my right leg, and often wraps around to the front of the leg to the place where there are tendons on my front ankle. Deep massage in that place that feels like “between the tendons” of my front right angel. Pain and tightness, no numbness.
I cane to this video for a new reason. Quickly when I get into bed, my outer right thigh starts going numb to the point if I touch it i feel pressure but not actual touch. Recently in my sleep i unknowingly move positions, waking on my back and feeling like my outer right thigh just above the knee is numb. E.g. I can scratch that area and feel pressure but nothing on the surface. In the last week I experienced twice upon waking a numb thigh but when I go to move it or have muscle exertion on it (think using leg pressure to sit up upon waking) the skin on my outer right thigh feels tight and numb (like tying a rubber band on your finger till it swells, turns blue, and gets numb). I get up, stand on my right light, and activating my quad causes a HORRIBLY INTENSE burning sensation. Literally? It feels like someone is using a blow torch on that area. The more I awake, it lessens but anything brushing on that part of my thigh burns like fire to my skin. Sometimes when I move that leg, say sitting cross legged, I feel a “surface pop” which takes my breath away and the burning feeling increases. Even water from the shower head hurt. I’m scared to move and scared to sleep bc today for instance I woke up screaming and whincing in pain. Massage doesn’t help nor does foam rolling. That part of my right outer thigh feels so sensitive and the slightest pressure brings on the burning sensation.
At this point idk what is causing it. I learned this specific area can be cause from the femoral nerve being compressed. Strange for most days in the last year I have this (what I can be describe as) grow pain (on the right) where twisting my leg outward or inward causes pain. I thought I had a hernia. I’m guilty of years of being at a desk with my right leg crossed over the right.
I’m not curious if this groin pain which aligns with this femoral nerve and my numb/burning issue is connect to this. It comes and go but recently every Morning I with a numb patch on my outer thigh. NOW it’s accompanied with a blow torch hot burning sensation. Can’t stand it put pressure on it for like 10-15 mins of sitting up with my right leg stretched forward. I’ve never experience a pain like this, I truly wake up crying. Doctor said I should foam roll, but it’s so intense and unfamiliar I lose focus.
What should I do? All my “nerve” and muscle pains are on my right side, neck to ankle but intermittent. For reference, I woke up at 8:45 AM today screaming in pain, and it’s not past midnight and that outer thigh spot is still number to touch. Like I said, I feel pressure from touch, but too much pressure on it causes that burning, albeit slightly delayed.
I really need help and I’m looking for answers and am at a loss. I hood y’all see this - help! Please! It’s a sudden problem but the pain is so intense I can’t move upon waking for nearly an hour. Is it fybromayalgia? Idk. What I do is I can’t wake up like this everyday. Plus it’s my driving leg.
FTR: sudden onset, irregularly sensitive or always painful. The numbness is weird but tolerable, but now it’s escalated to what feels like a blow torch Directly on my skin and it’s just from minor movement. I’m desperate for help at this point. Right now after over 12 hrs my outer right thigh just had no feeling. Long mail scratches for instance, cause a slow burn and I think (I have anxiety) . Even soft quality sheets touching the area causes legit fire on my leg. Idk what to do or what type of specialist to see. Convinced I have MS or beginning fibromyalgia. TLDR: help I’m in agony
Groin pain*
Wait sorry...what would a doctor do to help me? Oh nothing? That's what I thought. Love you guys! Thank you for the videos.
Thank you so much. I can't tell you how many nights in bed and times sitting in class when my hip travelling down my leg tingles or hurts. I went to a physio and he helped a lot but he sadly died in a car crash so I had to try and find another way of pin pointing my issues.
Bob and Brad, so happy for your channel, i have a very sharp pain on my right foot and that affected part is a bit swollen and its hurts very much. Please what could be the problem and what should i do. Please help Thanks
I couldn't do the first two but the last stretch helped 😇😇👍so good
Great video ty
I thought mine was sciatica until JUST NOW!!! It's femoral!! Thanks, guys !!!
I felt the pain travel upto my head while nerve flossing... And now I can also feel the pain on the back side it started with front... I guess my sitting posture is very very bad... Because I'm half way to lifting my body like you showed laying on the stomach and it is now starting to feel better...
You’re the best in the west... physios ...thanks !
Thanks
Had a femoral nailing running from hip to knee two years ago for broken femur repair. Can walk just fine but I too have been scouring the internet for how to help so much pain walking UP stairs (down's not nearly as bad), I must take one step at a time. None of these videos describe post surgery pain.
Bob and Brad, thank you for this video. Four years ago I had taken Ciprofloxacin and I bent down top install a door sweep. I heard something pop in my left knee and 3 minutes later I was screaming with the worst uncontrollable pain one could have. The ambulance came and had to carry me to the ambulance. The medic gave me 3 shots of morphine and it did not relive the pain. The medic said I should be out but I was still in uncontrollable pain. I was in 2 hospitals and only given a drip of pain medication. Both hospitals
could not find out what was wrong with me nor the physical therapist. So I asked to be discharged. My
pain was better with the pain meds. I could not walk for 2 months crutches 3 months and cane 3 months.
I still have pain in the front of my thigh and from the knee to the ankle numbness and tingling .
Do you think it was this? Geez! I’ve had to take Cipro (for a potentially deadly infection from a hospital) and knew it was bad, but I didn’t know it could do that to someone! That’s awful!
Thank you for your explantion. When I turn from my waist from left to right (while lying in bed), I feel an extremely painful burning sensation on my vastus intermedius and vastus lateralis; what do you then think the cause and remedy is? The pain is really excruciating.
I had the EXACT same thing. I had been on Levaquin. no question flouroquinolone (sic) was cause. Even doc said. But the exact damage was never revealed. 3 years I still have issues.
Both of my legs hurt and have those symptoms, tingling, burning that go all the way down my shin. Never goes away
I have femoral nerve pain in both legs so let’s pray these stretches help me out
Did it work? Dealing with this issue currently
thanks for the tip, I tried the first test and it seemed to mostly eliminate pain. going to the chiro next week.
THANK YOU
B&B watch you & recommended you for years , because you are the best. How ever you would be even greater, if you put name or description of excercises below i. E. 1.ankle twist 2 quads stretch. Etc etc. Thanks
Very insightful info Sirs. Do you come live too?
I have a combination of the 2. This morning I could barely stand. I tried the stretch the press up and the flossing in conjunction with what my PT already had me doing and I already after just a few reps feel so much better!!!
Omg ... My femoral nerve pain feels so much better!!!
Thank fuck I came across this vid on a night shift. Saved my life!! Thank you boys!
I have such compounded pain from many issues……I had a double open compound fracture ,after a right ACL REPLACEMENT
I have an interesting situation in that: I’m very overweight & have only had sporadic times of consistent exercise, I’m sedentary, work at a desk all day, have had colon resection due to cancer so I wear an ostomy bag on my right side AND I’ve developed a hernia just above my ileostomy stoma so I’m not able to work my core much. Plus...because I want to avoid causing my ileostomy pouch leaking, I’ve seen avoiding any stretching on that side of my body. The compression has been slowly creeping up, especially because when I sit on my bed, I favor sitting on my right butt cheek so my leg dangles down so my thigh won’t disturb the ostomy bag.
I share some of this to say: we all gotta pay the piper one day...all of these factors have added up. I used to love sleeping on my stomach & stretching but I’ve allowed this temporary issue to turn permanent. I don’t want to sound all rah rah...any change now is out of necessity, not “fun”. This front thigh pain is unbearable.
