I can watch hours worth of pinch nerve info related videos online and still get more info and motivation out of your videos. Everyone obviously takes note on your medical knowledge, but let's not take for granted how well you motivate as you teach in these videos. That's what sets you apart for me. I'm learning, but interested in the way you dialogue the info. Pure genius. Thanks Doctor Mandell! ps, wish you had a book out!
What is strange for me is that I get cold sensations and occasional needle prick but never any numbness, no muscle weakness, etc.The cold sensations run throughout the left side of body ....from shoulder to lower leg. I went to ER thinking I had a stroke but they determined it was non life threatening but only referred me to neurologist with no medication. Today for the first time I experienced burning in the chest and took Advil. Iwon’t be able to see neurologist till next week, so not sure what nerve is affected. I’ve been using Advil in the meantime.
My nerve pain was a" 11" down my leg & back.could not work constant pain even setting went to ..chiropractor 10 vists and ice & heat advil took 4 weeks to feel better doctor gave me nerve test for neuropathy.....
Hi Dr. Mandell, I tried your exercises for neck pain for few days for only couple of minutes, I feel 50% better than week ago, God bless you sir. Thank you!
I’m just starting my second week of my first pinched nerve - they think C7 pending MRI - pain is worse than childbirth - at least with childbirth you know it will eventually be over. This is the worst pain I’ve ever had
Me Too Sis. I had L5 and my legs are still weak and a little pain now. But i am trusting God for a complete healing from it all. Amen I pray you get better also.
@@awildadiaz1378 took about a year to heal - I also got an epidural injection. Some soreness after work since I work at a computer but so bad - I have to be careful with my erognomics and keep up with my stretches and exercise.
I’ve got a pinched nerve in my wrist - carpel tunnel - that goes all the way up my shoulder and neck and down to my fingertips. First night it locked up my neck but I’m just into my second week and I’ve seen a chiropractor and had a 1 hr deep tissue massage and I’m just getting to where I can sleep and have a normal day with muscle relaxers and pain blockers. I’m on day 3 of week 2 and finally seeing the light. The chiropractic adjustment and massage really helped. Good luck to everyone!
This is the most amazing information I did not know about nerve pain ! Thank God for you Dr. Mandell The Electronic display board was just Super-Informative and Super-Awesome ! Thank you very much.
I can't believe how much better my neck feels. I watched a couple of your videos and tried your exercises and paid attention to my posture and it made a huge difference in my life. I am a busy outdoorsy type who loves lawn work ,gardening flowers ect. I was concerned that maybe I wouldn't be able to do what I enjoy. not any more I can't wait till it's time to plant and mow yaaa!!! i
Sir, your videos have been changing my life for the better. I can't thank you enough for the info. Proper guidance and advice in this field is a gift beyond words. Your work is much appreciated.
You are a genius Dr Mandel l wished l could have seen your videos long ago , for l am a 75 year old lady nerve conduction test and EMG test showed a pinched nerve in my neck , and lower back also stated that l have severe carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands l suffer everyday from severe pain in my body now the pain is terrible in my lower back traveling down the back of my lower buttocks and down the back of legs l already have numbness and pain in all my body in my finger tips to bottom of fingers are numb continual thing , l also have other health issues and problems, the medical system doesn’t seem like they want to deal with me at all, l am in constant pain every day of my life and l popped 3 BC powders to just help me to keep going lam a Christian so l do ask God to give me the strength just to do my daily chores witch are getting harder everyday, l cannot deal with the pain anymore because my quality of life is not good at all l avoid family get togethers because l cannot handle getting ready it’s very hard for me , l feel that my doctors even though my PCD did pond me off on pain n Spine doctor , and Spine doctor ordered a nerve conduction test and EMG test The doctors are avoiding me now after these things were done, l would very much appreciate your input on this matter l respect your opinion highly and know if everyone would listen to you they would be in much better shape, l have had spinal issues since a young girl and it’s gotten worse as l age thank you Dr MANDEL in advance 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Brilliant video and makes so much sense. I have had Cervical radiculopathy for a couple of weeks now (improving slowly) and this short video has made me understand the condition so much more. Well done and thank you.
motivationaldoc Dr.Alan so if the pain of nerves which way will get worse. Is that I suppose make more movement or just let it relax. I will appreciate your reply. Many thanks
This is the most informative video I've watched about what's going on with the pinched nerve in my neck (C8 is what the doctor said). Continuing on to watch your other videos to see if I can start feeling better. If anyone has any specific advice for this nerve location I'd appreciate it! Thank you!
@Kira I ended up having to have surgery. I had a discectomy and laminectomy. I lost about 50% of the feeling in my right pinkie and ring finger but other than that I've recovered!
@Ruzaini Haron I had constant pain going from my neck down my right arm. I couldn't use my right hand and it constantly shook. Pain meds helped some but nothing took the pain away completely until I had surgery. I hope everything works out for you and that you get some relief! I still have to take a mild muscle relaxer and my pinkie finger is numb but overall I'm better!
Can you please make a video showing which pinch/herniated disc affects what organs. Use the "Autonomic Nervous system" display on the wall that lights up. Thank you
Hi go to The videos of MD NABIL ABRAHAM, A NEUROGIST ON LINE ,I JUST WATCH THAT VIDEO IT IS A SERIE HE DID STEP BY STEP EVERY PART OF THE BACK BONE AFFECT WHICH AND AFFECT WHICH OTHER PART OF THE BODY .I HAVE A WEAK LUMBARD ,2 YEARS AGO FROM MY SCIATICA I HAD A FOOT DROP PLUS INCONTINENCE AND EXCRUCIATING PAIN SO IN RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND HIM .MY BODY IS BETTER BUT NOT FROM HIM FROM BERG AND BERGMAN BUT HE HELPED ME UNDERSTAND THE ANATOMY OF THE VERTEBRATE AND NERVES ETC...VERY EXPLICIT PICTURES AND HIS EXPLANATION IS ALSO CLEAR.BUT HE IS MEDICAL.I APPROACH WITH HOME REMEDIES.
I’m suffered a pinched, Sciatica from my L5,L4 disc. I had the worst flair up from nowhere. My pain management Dr. had me on high doses of opioids and nerve medication which gave me NO relief. After spending days in the hospital for this issue, I left with a walker and more pain medication(which still does not work). I came across your video about how to get relief for a pinched sciatic nerves. I’ve tried just about everything known to man so I thought hey why not try this it’s not like I’m put in anything is out of my body. You demonstrated how to find the exact location parallel or adjacent to our lower but that area. And place our Knupple in the paint area and roll on it and I must say I thank you so so much. That has been the only thing that has given me relief. With no opioids no pills no anything just the simple trigger points action you demonstrated has really helped me tremendously. Needless to say my organs thank you I thank you and my family thank you. I wish I can do a commercial for you cause I would for free LOL. It’s now been three days since I’ve tried the trigger point and each day is getting better and better.I can actually walk without my walker and when I feel the pain coming onI quickly began using the trigger point action I don’t understand why these pain management doctors don’t know this or do not advise their patients about this simple action to take instead of keep piling on up will you always on top of opioids was up opioids.
Keesa Heard pain management doctors know they just don't want you to know. Once you know and start healing yourself that's less money they can make off of you
I live in Alaska I went to the doctor for five months my hands get weaker and numb I lost all muscle mass the only thing that got me better was watching your videos and I started doing my own physical therapy because when I went to physical therapy at a business they made my auto immune flare up and it got so bad I couldn’t even get out of bed for 3 months I started doing the VWTL exercises my thumbs are almost not numb and moving 90 percent my neck is feeling not stuck any more my legs Are able to walk now with the help of minerals and exercises is how I got better not doctors not physical therapist !!!! So ty for your help 😇😍 also I took your advice and bought some Alpha Lipoic acid I am very convinced that helping also I have been on that for 30 days thank you Doc
Do Physios help heal neck muscle issues? I have extremely tight traps and scalene muscles that cause headaches, but all the physios seem to only treat knee injuries and stuff.
@@PrinceSinghGautam016 I can’t say anything coz I haven’t known to all the conditions about him and did not even examine physically. But im sure physical therapy would help. And May God Recover him soon.
Hey doc I watch your videos all the time you're an inspiration for me especially the last year and a half been dealing with pinched nerves in my neck and my upper back things have gotten better only issue I really have right now is a pinched nerve in the neck which is making my occipital muscle spasm basically nerve pain in the greater nerve I'm doing all kinds of things but like you said it takes time. Out of all the pinched nerves in my upper back and neck throughout this whole time there was only one moderate nerve pinching in the neck everything else was mild for the MRI I took. Which is promising I've come through so much with this from being severe pain last year to at least mild pain but the mild pain still in the neck makes it feel terrible with all the occipital neuralgia I get.
Just got through 10th day with a C6 C7 pinched nerve. Had horrible time sleeping. Lots of cramps and pain in right shoulder blade, shoulder, and triceps. Loss in strength. Last night first night I got decent night sleep. Praying for everyone! Not fun!
Exact same for me. I’m 8 weeks in and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My advice - stick with your physical therapy and don’t rush anything. Good luck.
@@Bloke-q9b Hey Bloke - are you done with pain? I'm in week 5 and still have a a bit to go but slowly improving.. maybe? Quick question - how often did you (are you) doing the PT exercises. Thanks!
"Just don't pray, do something about it". You are right on Dr., even though I am a Catholic priest. I had a pinched nerve for a while now and doing some treatment about it in FL.
After removing my reproductive organ, neck pain and hand numbness comes next.... It tooks almost 2 years now that I suffer those kind of pain, I follow exercises from your videos, I wish I will be fine . Thank you Dr. Mendell 💕
Where I am (UK) they fob you off and waste your time. Nowadays you have to search out alternative medicine. I am using a cheap foam roller, exercise with rubber bands, herbs (ginger tea, raw garlic, olive oil), stretching, a little exercise, food, rest and lots of UA-cam! If you just go with the docs you might end up with surgery when you could do without.
I pinched a nerve in my neck and my left bicep is super weak and gets smaller. The pain in the neck is gone, but still have an issue with the bicep. Any advice?
I’ve legit had bad mobility in my entire spine for 2 decades. Now that I’m getting mobility back, I got this nerve compression in my trap muscle. This needs to go away
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Schallingora Font Storage Scheme (probably on Google)? It is a great exclusive guide for getting rid of your shoulder pain without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy after many years got cool success with it.
In my country they don't have the knowledge. I had stomach problems, acid reflux, fatique, sleep apnea. Did endoscopy, colonoscopy, blood tests and nothing. Doctors did not know what to do with me. I could not believe it but all my problems were caused by pinched nerves in neck, and right shoulder and back. I did some exercises to improve posture and immediatly all my stomach issues were gone and i sleep much better now.
And my husband had a pubirty tumor before digonced he was suffering from acidity every time but after brain problem diagnosis all acidity urine problems vanished
Hi there...just want to ask which doctor to consult regarding to pinch nerve? I am also suffering from those problems and doctors just gave medication that makes me more sick...thanks ang God bless u
Great! Now I have learned why I have pain and how to strech and train my neck, Bye bye c8 nerv pain! Thank you for inspiring videos (all of them)/ Helena
You're 100% correct doc. Early discovery of THE CAUSE is vital. I unfortunately had bad doctors thst just kept pumping me full of painkillers. This led to the nerve sheef/protective cover being torn and then scare tissue development in the same area. And NOW its unfixable (its in my neck so very little wiggle room to cut out scar tissue without a high error rate). So hopefully anymore reading this DEMAND your docs find the exact cause, never just settle for here's some pain meds it will go away in time.
i love your videos and your heart thank you for your helpfulness. working on my issue regularly now. wish I had started years ago, but better to be doing something today than just pray. I'm still praying too.
Thank you so much Doctor, you are special and I really love and enjoy all your videos. ❤ Just a question, please: where can I buy that wonderful Autonomic Nervous System board where you are showing how nerves affect the different areas of the body? Thank you so much for your time!
Your info helped me get back to work earlier. Professionals like you are the reason why I laugh when my fellow Brits say that our NHS is the best in the world. I'd have to pay private to get such in depth help!
I had a "bulging disk" and was in excruciating pain for 2 months. I was getting better, went to a physical therapist and that literally set me back an easy 3 weeks. What they said to do, literally and logically made no sense to me. They had me doing exercises that pinch and compressed the disk more?? Surgery was out of the question, over 80% of back surgeries fail and cause more pain. When they fuse or put plates and screws in your spine the vertebrate (joint) above and below now have to do the work of the vertebrates that were fused or plated together. I had both shoulders scoped, wish i would've never had that done. Not only do i know that they can heal on their own, but they are always causing me pain. We have to realize ortho's and back dr's are in the surgery business, so that's what they sell. A lot of people that are lined up for knee surgery go see a Chiropractor and get that knee set back and aligns=ed and they cancel the surgery. What really helped me was the right chiropractor, and hanging. I believe over 90% of DC's are rack'm and crack'm chiros, that get you in and out as fast as they can and really care nothing about getting you better. Look for a "Corrective Chiropractor". I personally like those that practice the Gonstead and/or the Chiropractis BioPhysics or CBP techniques. Corrective Chiropractors will do x-rays every 3 or 6 months to check the progression. Again over 90% of DC's don't do this. I understand why DC's have a bad rap, I personally love DC's, but I do not care for the rack'm, crack'm, send them on their way ones. I drove 4 states away to my old chiro, which hurt like heck, but so worth it. He saw (which 2 others did not) on my x-ray that there was a twist in my spine where he believed the problem was. Hew was right, I started feeling and healing faster and was in far less pain. After that I started hanging to decompress the spine. If you can decompress and open up the spine, more blood and nutrients can get into the joint to heal and will create space in between the vertebrates. Inversion table is good also, but I really didn't have one and since it was my low back I would go to the gym and hang and a lot of times I would have my wife hug my hips and add her weight to mine. A lot of people say that compressed or little disk space is just signs of aging and disk degeneration. I do not agree at all with that statement. If that was the case every disk in the whole spine would be close to the same, when that is almost never the case. Trauma/injury causes this to happen. Whether it be an accident, work etc. Last x-rays I was told (and saw) that my low back now has the disk space of a 19 year old. However my neck (cervical) and upper back (thoracic) does not. I have had lot of trauma to me neck (accidents and work) and upper back and now have been doing exercises for them and am looking into decompressing them as well. My low back also was getting close in disk space, mostly on the inner part. Now I have more disk space than I did before I started the hanging, have x-rays that show this. I know my neck can be corrected and healed, just need to find a good chiropractor, a devise to decompress my neck and upper back and continue with the exercises. Our bodies are self healing, as long as it gets what it needs to heal.
Hi there. What other spinal decompression exercises did you take up? Did you change up your diet significantly? May we please see your before and after scans? I have cervical spondylosis so looking for ways to decompress spine without having to do surgery.
@@theresapatterson879 Hi Theresa, My neck is still a mess as well, I'm pretty sure if i saw a doctor they would label mine as cervical spondylosis as well. However I don't believe it is from aging, mine is strictly due to trauma and career choices. Diet always helps, certain foods help with oxygenating the blood and of course staying hydrated. At least half your body weight in water (Spring Water) each day. Liquids don't count, like juices, soda, etc. and since coffee is a diuretic and dehydrates the body, if you drink a cup, the you need to add that much more water. When I get up in the morning, before even standing up form bed I will sit and drink a full bottle of water. Before going to bed sometimes i will do this as well and oddly enough it has never made me get up to use the bathroom any more than usual. Look up spinal decompression in your area, some chiropractors have the machines and can do it to the whole spine which obviously includes your neck. I never did this but i need too. What did help was using a neck hammock (Search Amazon) and chin tucks and other stretches. Surgery is IMO the very last option, because they generally fuse the joints together, which all that does is force to top and bottom joints that are fused to also do the job of the fused ones. Here are couple YT channels that hopefully are helpful to you.

Hey doc ,This is Sai and i'm so thankful for this video . I think I have a problem with my c4,c5 nerves Could you please make a video of some exercises for this problem .
I was injured a few years ago, mri said rupture disk in L5 S1, L4 is protruding. Sciatica on my right side and last week re injured it and now i have a compressed nerve on my left side lower back. I'm due for steroid shots this month. First time it happened i couldn't walk for 3mos. And as i agree you do have to take care of it and xo everything my nerosurgon is telling me to do including massage therapy but i can't believe you just said dont just pray it away! It was because of prayer that i was able to walk again. yes you're supposed to do everything within our physicians and our own power but yes you should pray to. there are people who are going through a living nitemare with this. I totally understand the pain, but i also still pray for it because in doing so I know that the Lord does give me total relief from it! without prayer i wouldn't have walked again!
x1c3x in the evenings the pain somewhat dissipates. its worst in the morning because the spine imbibes and therefore swells and presses more on the nerves
My Name is Amanuel. I started having problem three weeks ago with back stabbing pain. went to physic therapist, thought it was a muscle spasm. she administered massage, the pain in my tricep and lower arm persisted. week two i started experiencing numbness an pin in my left two fingers. had MR?I and x ray, images of herniation c4-c5 showed. clinical examination with neurologist and orthopaedic surgeon isolated ulnar nerve compression. but the issue of multiple compression was raised. examination ruled that the ulnar nerve is showing symptoms independent from the nerve. Nothing here is 100% for the doctors and for me. I am going to have procedure for ulnar nerve next week. I know this is not absolute but to rule out the possibility of compression coming from the nerve in the cervical area. But I was to express my gratitude to your video clips which immensely helped me understand not only the specific problem, but the totality of understanding that was empowering for me ways very difficult to express in words only. Your clips are a window of your humanity, that is really touching. Thank you so much!
Hi there my friend, C4-5 would affect the first and second digit. Ulnur nerve C8 would affect the last two fingers. Which would be the fourth and fifth. More commonly I'll be C-4 C-5 what affect the C-5 nerve and dream that would affect more commonly into the shoulder blade region. I'm assuming they found a C8 nerve from an EMG. I don't like EMGs there are too many false positives present.
I was diving several years ago and hyperextended my back doing so. The pain was instant and felt like a sprain. Although my muscles seemed to heal, I have a nagging nerve pain that has not gone away over the years. I think it's a pinched nerve. I wake up each morning with pain in my lower back. At times, the pain is quite unbearable when I come out of a seated position and stand up. I need to take a moment hunched over until the pain goes away. I've seen several doctors, have had x-rays, and have tried physical therapy (although I must admit not very consistently) and acupuncture several times but nothing seems to be working. Doctors have told me I need to live with this pain. My lower back (where the pain is) has gotten very stiff and won't curve anymore into a C shape when I try to touch my toes. The last physical therapist has told me to lay on a foam roller placed under my lower back to "curve it out." I wish I could come see you for therapy as you seem to really understand the body more than any other doctor I've encountered.
Hi Mina, copy and paste this message to Facebook. My page is motivationaldoc. Easier to communicate there. Will be on short travel but will get back to you.
thank you, I went to the doctor a few months ago and was put in physical therapy for 2 months twice a week, something popped in my shoulder releasing all the pressure built up on a giant numb spot on my spine gaining almost 40 percent left side mobility. .3 months later now and my nerves been lighting up in my shoulder and neck. I returned to the person who sent me to physical therapy and she acted as if no conection between the two. just pain she said. while I wait for an ortho referral over the long weekend your videos have been helping me cope. thank you these videos are sometimes a lifesaver
I donated blood at a local drive 6 weeks ago and developed nerve pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and aching that started in my hand and has spread into my arm and up to my shoulder. I'm scheduled to have an EMG and NCS in a few weeks but in the meantime I'm noticing worse symptoms with my most recent one my arm and hand feeling cold to touch. My primary Dr hasn't been very helpful as honestly I don't think she has ever dealt with a case such as mine. I'm doing occupational therapy. 2 days weekly and this seems to help reduce the symptoms. I don't know how it can be possible to have a pinched nerve just from donating. I know my case is very rare and unfortunate but at the same time I've learned SO much about nerves and how they work. Thanks for your video. Was helpful.
michie jewel, Thank you for your response. I'm doing much better but still experience mild symptoms with weather changes. Yesterday my hand and arm were cold to touch and overall my whole arm felt weak. It's 5 months since the nerve injury and symptoms have gradually been dissipating. B 12 has been very helpful and I also take Advil if needed. I also did occupational therapy for 4 weeks and experienced great relief. Overall it's a great relief these symptoms have nearly resolved.
Hi Doc Mandell. Its always great to listen to you. Four weeks back I had micro discectomy to operate on my herniated disc at L5-S1. I was feeling great and painfree life for the last 4 weeks. However, from couple of days I am feeling the identical sciatic pain down my left leg. Could you please help me understand why this pain again after surgery? Thanks.
Thank you very much Dr. you explain very well. I understand you. God bless you daughter is the best health for the people who need. God bless you all of the time.
I've been teaching Pilates and Yoga for years... and just developed this terrible pain from the low back and down the left leg. The left calf is the worst... and seeing a chiropractor, exercising, biofreeze, a 10's unit, massage, you name... I'm doing it... 2 weeks out... and the pain is just as bad or worse. :-( I've been told, the only thing you can do for a pinched nerve is surgery? I am 61 years young and in good health... but for some reason, the SI joint gave out while I was teaching a class and it's been painful Hell ever since.... now what? Planks and core work, don't necessarily guarantee pain free
Get operation immediatly i had one last week in Krefeld neurochirurg dr. Hageman had tremendous backpain now pain free the longer jou wait the more Damage too your nerve the harder too get back at old level.
I have a sciatic nerve on right side of leg and it's really messing with me mentally. It's getting me depressed and that's not me .i can't take much more
Dr Mandel, I have injured my body due to auto accidents in 1999 and 2000, all hit from behind. In 2014, I sustained injury of a double stacked box on a 6' shelf. The top box's corner fell hitting the backside .of my left neck. Diagnosis we're peripheral neuropathy x4 extremeties, cervical myopathy, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, chronic headaches, syncopy, functioning blackouts. I now use a walker with a seat because I become excessively fatigued and must sit immediately. I am extremely off balance. I was also diagnosed with Osteoarthritis. I have short-term memory loss, lose track of thought mid sentence. I have been diagnosed with Renal Disease and angina, with hypertension. My thyroid has been diagnosed vas hypothyroid. Ever since January 16, 2014, I sustained a negligent injury due to store manager ignoring OSHA rules. Is there anything you can recommend to help? I was in excellent physical shape up to the point of trauma. I'm now only 59 years old, feeling anger, disparage, no sense of hope. I'm too young for my body to be traumatized in such a manner. Please if you can help in any capacity, please, I beg you to let me know. God bless you 😇😇
I've had recurring sciatica from an injury and sadly didn't take the time off work when I got injured as I was only 2 months into the job and didn't want to loose it. Take my advice and take the time off of you afford to as I still have the issues 2 years on and it's limited what I can do in my day to day life. I hope this year it finally heals but it's slow going!
@@kiranambhore7719 I will you exercise it slowly you can use ice to numb the pain and warm water if it feels tight you can bath in salt warm water you can use a heating pad you can massage it and get lots of rest don't lift weight or nothing that will make it get worse
No sleep from sciatic pain all night for 10 days will wipe you out!! Ice packs were needed.... Didn't know this until now. That searing, burning pain is worse than having a baby..... Ain
I have low back pain due to no cartilage which affects my hips and legs. I also have neck pain due to fused discs. The pain goes into my head and face. It burns so bad that I literally want to die. Now that's pain. The first thing I do besides praying, is grab an ice pack. If I catch it quick enough it'll usually do the job....thank the Lord.
@@chrispapadatos3458 not sure if you're talking to me or Jean. Mine will probably never go away unless the Lord wills it. I have to be extremely careful of what I do and for how long. Makes life a little difficult. Especially since I have NO-ONE to help out. Am not suppose to lift any weight. So figure that one out. Things have only gotten worse over the last few years so I went from feeling young to feeling old quickly. Will probably have to sell my house since I can't keep up with things anymore. Kind of sucks but I guess we have to deal with what comes our way. Hopefully the Lord will direct my path. And sorry for venting. Just came in from mowing.
I like watching your video, I learn what vitamins and mineral I need to take as I am not really taking vitamins all my life. I suffered back pain and had both X-ray and MRI results last January, had prescribed opioid meds and muscle relaxant but pain still there ... I had my first epidural injection done last January 19 for L4L5 which sad to say lasted less than a week, pain kept rising and can’t walk, stand and sit much longer, so my doctor put me for 2nd epidural shot March 13 in L5S1 this time. Went home the amount of pain decreased from 10 to 2, but when I start working, standing and walking aggravated again and pain begins again. I am thinking getting vitamins that I learn from you I’ll get all the B’s D3, K2 supplementary to my daily needed and hopefully will see within 3 weeks if I can feel improvement on my condition without taking steroids meds etc. I do not want to go under the knife.
I have been down with sciatic nerve pain for three months now. Unable to do anything without this constant pulsating pain through the entire right leg. But, your case seems much worse. I really hope you recover.

I was just standing in my kitchen pouring a drink and I randomly felt like something tiny in my back next to my left shoulder blade bursted. Idk if this is what it is. But I'm in so much pain right now
I did figure it out after the Chiropractor did an x-ray it was a herniated disk. I still have lower back problems but not as much pain anymore, only when I sit for a long time do I start feeling it. I just dead hang from a pull up bar and that seems to work.
Your absolutely right correct 👌 I have a knee surgery in January 2020 and I was given a Epidural in the lower back...Now am having a pinched nerve on the left side and I can feel it in my second toe...
Please don't use such machines.. Sometimes we are tired our body need rest n vibration is like uninvited guest..walking is best exercise. Stretching exercises are must. I'm not a doctor. I have physical aches n pains due to mild arthritis. My suggestion is first try to give little rest to your body. next, 20 min walk with right posture, right pair of shoes very important. Pain killers are meant for pain so once you please ask your doctor if you don't have Any other condition like blood pressure. You can always take a pain killer for a better quality of life. Age matters.
Hello Doctor Mandell, Thanks for your videos. I have been doing BJJ for a while and recently earlier this month I was experiencing slight tingling in my left hand on the thumb and index and tightness of traps and neck area (only triggered from moving neck and stretching it out in certain direction or using it). This is only slight, and I continued with my training and stretching and self trigger point. I decided to do Physical Therapy last Friday and Monday and Acupuncture, manual therapy traction, warm towel around neck was used. Exercises to tuck chin down lying on my back and rolling out arm was prescribed. After Monday's Physical Therapy session and I also trained Monday, it got considerably worse. There is now pain and consistent numbness on my left thumb and enough pain while walking around that my posture is affected and I have to compensate by putting my head down slightly (can't stand up tall). Sleeping on my back / side would also cause the pain and prevent me from sleeping - the last two nights i've been sleeping straight up or get tired enough to fall asleep. I can feel my muscle tightness from my back of my neck behind my upper back down to the arm. I went to see a sports medicine doctor (I did not see one b4 seeing the PT) today and he recommended to find the root cause - so I got an xray first (MRI is 2 month wait list here in Toronto, Canada. but I plan to sign up) and will assess with him tommorrow. 1) I am resting and not doing BJJ while this is happening 2) Should I cancel the PT session for tmrw since , could it have aggravated me more? 3) I am using heat / cold which both seem to give temp comfort for very short while and advil (which seems to do not much). 4) I also tried your lying at edge of bed self traction and that was causing pain behind my neck without even pushing it, so I stopped 5) I find it very hard to make the right decisions with the variety of professionals available (chiro, physio, etc. different sports med), any other recommendations on what else to do. (or just simply time, rest, get help from 1 or more sports med and proceed with Xray, MRI to find root causes) Thanks in advance, Felix
Felix, hope you are doing better. I too started feeling slight numbness and made it worse stretching out my neck and arms. If anybody reads this avoid nerve flossing or anything that bends your neck left or right. Let the inflammation around your neck go down before aggressive stretches and schedule a xray mri.
Thanks Dr. Mandel! Mine decompression is on c3-c6. And I don't want to perform surgery. Surgery of the spine in Nigeria is usually 50, 50. I haven't heard of anyone who did it and got better. They end up being bed-ridden. I don't want to end up like that. Am 54 years and am already suffering so much pains from my cervical neuropathy. Sometimes I will feel completely fine and the next moment the pains will be so excruciating. My left side from my head to my feet especially the neck and shoulder area
I have sciatica. i suffered a massive flare up on monday. its now Saturday morning. and each day it was pretty excruciating pain . friday night i slept flat on my stomach and was able to fall asleep most of the night almost pain free . But i have to ask you doctor last Saturday i had to ejaculate as i had too much build up and i think thats what caused my flare up . now im a 37yold male its been hard to keep all that stored up energy down there. but im finding that each time i have ejaculated my flare ups are worse the next few days after. could there be a problem with me ? maybe a tumor or prostate problem?
how is it now bro? I was 180 lbs and strong as an ox at 38, I was jogging and hit a rabbit hole and that was it, I broke my ankle! from that 2 weeks after I just kept feeling pain up and down in my entire leg thought it was from my ankle, I found out I fucked up my lower back in the fall, not a dime for doctor or chiropractor, And to much pain to rub one out and that sex with my girlfriend became bad for me lol!, But I had no choice to wake up and go to work, and man the pain I went through for next 2 years was insane! I am now 41 and 95% naturally healed
Bro it's cause for your pelvic floor muscle...do some pelvic floor release stretches and avoid ejaculation as much as you can...sex agravate this symtoms.
8 weeks ago my wife neck started hurting. 3 weeks after the pain started, 2 or 3 chiropractor appts later she developed severe tinnitus and still had neck pain. She’s seen multiple doctors and done scans. She’s now started decompression at a clinic because the scans show deterioration in some disks. It’s been 2 weeks of treatment and her tinnitus has improved slightly for periods of time but still at a level 5 most the time and peaking at an 8 here and there. My question is, you think this may be nerve related? Any suggestions? I love my wife and want her to get her life back, she’s struggling and I’ll do anything to help her
Dr. Mandell, what type of physician would one need to go to evaluate and diagnose a pinched nerve. I'm pretty sure I have this issue, but don't want to waste time going to my general practitioner if I don't need to. Thanks in advance.
motivationaldoc I have been seeing a chiro for the last 2 weeks and still have numbness in my arm/fingers. He says I have a herniated disc and he needs about 2 months with me..... 3x a week. Does this sound about right?
Hello Dr Mandell, I am so Grateful for these videos, 12Years of so much Pain C3-C7 , two discs are back in place, C6 C7 seem to be the problem, Chronic Pain, from just a Nerve/Roots. Thank you 👍👍👍 Many Blessings to you and your loved ones. Melbourne, Australia ♥️♥️♥️
@@pcsolis23 Yeah, I wish some of these people would come back and post that they got better. Then, tell us how they got better. We all could learn from that.
Im experiencing pain in lower back, tingling in foot, back of my thigh feels like a pulled muscles . Im in pain. I dont want to just take a pill. Thank You
As I have shared a miracle treatment of one ancient Indian technique in earlier video on this forum...Again I repeat..our body has got self healing power...but It is almost zero in case of nerve problem when we are in movement and exercise.
I have had a pinched/irritated nerve at C2 now for 1 year - causing occipital neuralgia, dizziness and pain. Given neck stabilization exercises, also did your video on Pinched nerve neck pain. Trying to work on posture and stretch pectoral muscles since I am hunched. Any other suggestions? I want to avoid pain medication or anything else invasive.
Kaitlyn Zorn I hit my right arm funny bone hard at a party and it hurt for a while and if I touched it, it hurt. It got better but it feels weaker than my left funny bone. It feels more sensitive now is it going to take a while to heal or stay like that??? What can I do.
I have reached maximum medical capacity with my severe pinched nerve. Do you do surgery as well? Would love for you too take a look at my situation and give me your best recommendations.
Have had pinched nerve for past 2-3 weeks and even with chiro wasn't improving - but just did some of your exercises for neck traction and results amazing, still some numbness in upper arm muscle (feels more muscular now than tingling) - but I have my right arm back yeah!! will keep up the exercises - thank you sooo much, was in tears this morning from the constant pain/no sleep and my whole outlook has changed - Thank you so much for your great advice.

I think I pinched a nerve in my left shoulder or trap. I had severe pain in my neck, shoulder, left elbow, and whole left arm that happened suddenly while I was trying to stretch out a stiff neck. It made my whole left arm feel like pins and needles and hurt BAD. Now it is 6 months later and some strength has come back and most of the numbness is gone. But I have pretty bad muscle atrophy in my tricep and pec. And my pointer finger still has the pins and needles numb feeling. I used to bench 225, now I can't do 135... I couldn't do a push up for the first two months, now I can do about 20. Which is great improvement, but still weak. Just wondering if you have any ideas and if there is any hope. I don't have insurance otherwise I would have seen a doctor a long time ago... Thank you
nabil edhkouri hi Nabil. I have 2 herniated c6, c7. I was given many but the one that helped is called Gambapentin. It's a medication used to treat epilepsy. They've found people with nerve pain benefit from it. It worked for me. It's non narcodic
I can watch hours worth of pinch nerve info related videos online and still get more info and motivation out of your videos. Everyone obviously takes note on your medical knowledge, but let's not take for granted how well you motivate as you teach in these videos. That's what sets you apart for me. I'm learning, but interested in the way you dialogue the info. Pure genius. Thanks Doctor Mandell!
ps, wish you had a book out!
Blessings to you and your family
couldn’t agree more!
Thank you. I had my first MRI today for the lower lumbar. I pray they find the root to stop the pain in my legs thighs with numbness and tinglig
Any answers?
What is strange for me is that I get cold sensations and occasional needle prick but never any numbness, no muscle weakness, etc.The cold sensations run throughout the left side of body ....from shoulder to lower leg. I went to ER thinking I had a stroke but they determined it was non life threatening but only referred me to neurologist with no medication. Today for the first time I experienced burning in the chest and took Advil. Iwon’t be able to see neurologist till next week, so not sure what nerve is affected. I’ve been using Advil in the meantime.

Dont Pray. Do something TODAY. - Dr Mandell
Much love from Switzerland. you helped me alot Doc!
He never said, don’t pray. Why you twisting his words? Not surprised that you would do that, you from Switzerland, foolish atheist Central.
Thats not what he said he said dont just pray.
I’m just starting my second week of my first pinched nerve - they think C7 pending MRI - pain is worse than childbirth - at least with childbirth you know it will eventually be over. This is the worst pain I’ve ever had
Me Too Sis. I had L5 and my legs are still weak and a little pain now. But i am trusting God for a complete healing from it all. Amen I pray you get better also.
How are you now?
@@awildadiaz1378 took about a year to heal - I also got an epidural injection. Some soreness after work since I work at a computer but so bad - I have to be careful with my erognomics and keep up with my stretches and exercise.
I also had alot of PT
What's the update?
I’ve got a pinched nerve in my wrist - carpel tunnel - that goes all the way up my shoulder and neck and down to my fingertips. First night it locked up my neck but I’m just into my second week and I’ve seen a chiropractor and had a 1 hr deep tissue massage and I’m just getting to where I can sleep and have a normal day with muscle relaxers and pain blockers. I’m on day 3 of week 2 and finally seeing the light. The chiropractic adjustment and massage really helped. Good luck to everyone!
This is the most amazing information I did not know about nerve pain ! Thank God for you Dr. Mandell The Electronic display board was just Super-Informative and Super-Awesome ! Thank you very much.
I can't believe how much better my neck feels. I watched a couple of your videos and tried your exercises and paid attention to my posture and it made a huge difference in my life. I am a busy outdoorsy type who loves lawn work ,gardening flowers ect. I was concerned that maybe I wouldn't be able to do what I enjoy. not any more I can't wait till it's time to plant and mow yaaa!!!

Thanks for the video. There is one thing I would add.
Just pray and then do something today
This is the best video that I've found about nerve injury... Salute to you sir!
Sir, your videos have been changing my life for the better. I can't thank you enough for the info. Proper guidance and advice in this field is a gift beyond words. Your work is much appreciated.
You are a genius Dr Mandel l wished l could have seen your videos long ago , for l am a 75 year old lady nerve conduction test and EMG test showed a pinched nerve in my neck , and lower back also stated that l have severe carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands l suffer everyday from severe pain in my body now the pain is terrible in my lower back traveling down the back of my lower buttocks and down the back of legs l already have numbness and pain in all my body in my finger tips to bottom of fingers are numb continual thing , l also have other health issues and problems, the medical system doesn’t seem like they want to deal with me at all, l am in constant pain every day of my life and l popped 3 BC powders to just help me to keep going lam a Christian so l do ask God to give me the strength just to do my daily chores witch are getting harder everyday, l cannot deal with the pain anymore because my quality of life is not good at all l avoid family get togethers because l cannot handle getting ready it’s very hard for me , l feel that my doctors even though my PCD did pond me off on pain n Spine doctor , and Spine doctor ordered a nerve conduction test and EMG test The doctors are avoiding me now after these things were done, l would very much appreciate your input on this matter l respect your opinion highly and know if everyone would listen to you they would be in much better shape, l have had spinal issues since a young girl and it’s gotten worse as l age thank you Dr MANDEL in advance 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Brilliant video and makes so much sense.

Thank you so much Dr. Mandell for this very informative video. God bless you always...
This is the most informative video I've watched about what's going on with the pinched nerve in my neck (C8 is what the doctor said). Continuing on to watch your other videos to see if I can start feeling better. If anyone has any specific advice for this nerve location I'd appreciate it! Thank you!
Same here, how is your nerve around c8 doing now how did you manage?
@Kira I ended up having to have surgery. I had a discectomy and laminectomy. I lost about 50% of the feeling in my right pinkie and ring finger but other than that I've recovered!
@@electriceelful glad you recovered 🎉 I’m scheduled for consultation for PLDD/RF or PL3D 😅 weakness on both arms is killing mentally
@@electriceelful sorry.. which symptom you recovered from? .. I hv stiff neck, weakness both arms, wrist pain (mild), vertigo sometimes
@Ruzaini Haron I had constant pain going from my neck down my right arm. I couldn't use my right hand and it constantly shook. Pain meds helped some but nothing took the pain away completely until I had surgery. I hope everything works out for you and that you get some relief! I still have to take a mild muscle relaxer and my pinkie finger is numb but overall I'm better!
I love your teaching its definitely helping me.. Please don't STOP

Wow.. thank you for all your videos! You have helped me so much with my neck and back issues. Please keep them coming. Thanks again!!
I’m suffered a pinched, Sciatica from my L5,L4 disc. I had the worst flair up from nowhere. My pain management Dr. had me on high doses of opioids and nerve medication which gave me NO relief. After spending days in the hospital for this issue, I left with a walker and more pain medication(which still does not work). I came across your video about how to get relief for a pinched sciatic nerves. I’ve tried just about everything known to man so I thought hey why not try this it’s not like I’m put in anything is out of my body. You demonstrated how to find the exact location parallel or adjacent to our lower but that area. And place our Knupple in the paint area and roll on it and I must say I thank you so so much. That has been the only thing that has given me relief. With no opioids no pills no anything just the simple trigger points action you demonstrated has really helped me tremendously. Needless to say my organs thank you I thank you and my family thank you. I wish I can do a commercial for you cause I would for free LOL. It’s now been three days since I’ve tried the trigger point and each day is getting better and better.I can actually walk without my walker and when I feel the pain coming onI quickly began using the trigger point action I don’t understand why these pain management doctors don’t know this or do not advise their patients about this simple action to take instead of keep piling on up will you always on top of opioids was up opioids.
Keesa Heard pain management doctors know they just don't want you to know. Once you know and start healing yourself that's less money they can make off of you
Try tramadol
I live in Alaska I went to the doctor for five months my hands get weaker and numb
I lost all muscle mass the only thing that got me better was watching your videos and I started doing my own physical therapy because when I went to physical therapy at a business they made my auto immune flare up and it got so bad I couldn’t even get out of bed
for 3 months I started doing the VWTL exercises my thumbs are almost not numb and moving 90 percent my neck is feeling not stuck any more my legs Are able to walk now with the help of minerals and exercises is how I got better not doctors not physical therapist !!!! So ty for your help 😇😍 also I took your advice and bought some Alpha Lipoic acid I am very convinced that helping also
I have been on that for 30 days thank you Doc

Hey doc I watch your videos all the time you're an inspiration for me especially the last year and a half been dealing with pinched nerves in my neck and my upper back things have gotten better only issue I really have right now is a pinched nerve in the neck which is making my occipital muscle spasm basically nerve pain in the greater nerve I'm doing all kinds of things but like you said it takes time. Out of all the pinched nerves in my upper back and neck throughout this whole time there was only one moderate nerve pinching in the neck everything else was mild for the MRI I took. Which is promising I've come through so much with this from being severe pain last year to at least mild pain but the mild pain still in the neck makes it feel terrible with all the occipital neuralgia I get.
Phenomenal Video! Just don't pray, act today! I believe that is the very same thing that God tells us about most areas of our lives!!
Thank you!! very enlightened..I'm going to the doctor..I have numbness and a non stop aching pain..
Just got through 10th day with a C6 C7 pinched nerve. Had horrible time sleeping. Lots of cramps and pain in right shoulder blade, shoulder, and triceps. Loss in strength. Last night first night I got decent night sleep. Praying for everyone! Not fun!
Exact same for me. I’m 8 weeks in and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My advice - stick with your physical therapy and don’t rush anything. Good luck.
@@Bloke-q9b Hey Bloke - are you done with pain? I'm in week 5 and still have a a bit to go but slowly improving.. maybe? Quick question - how often did you (are you) doing the PT exercises. Thanks!
"Just don't pray, do something about it". You are right on Dr., even though I am a Catholic priest. I had a pinched nerve for a while now and doing some treatment about it in FL.

Most people can't AFFORD cost get need help so they live with it or find other means to mask it
Its true
Where I am (UK) they fob you off and waste your time. Nowadays you have to search out alternative medicine. I am using a cheap foam roller, exercise with rubber bands, herbs (ginger tea, raw garlic, olive oil), stretching, a little exercise, food, rest and lots of UA-cam! If you just go with the docs you might end up with surgery when you could do without.

I’ve legit had bad mobility in my entire spine for 2 decades. Now that I’m getting mobility back, I got this nerve compression in my trap muscle. This needs to go away
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Schallingora Font Storage Scheme (probably on Google)? It is a great exclusive guide for getting rid of your shoulder pain without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy after many years got cool success with it.
It may very well be cervicsl disc bulge or herniation. The C8 nerve root often mimics a trap mucle.
Great video. Love the illustrations especially the lights
In my country they don't have the knowledge. I had stomach problems, acid reflux, fatique, sleep apnea. Did endoscopy, colonoscopy, blood tests and nothing. Doctors did not know what to do with me. I could not believe it but all my problems were caused by pinched nerves in neck, and right shoulder and back. I did some exercises to improve posture and immediatly all my stomach issues were gone and i sleep much better now.
Can u tell me what exercise u do? Thanks

This video helped. I feel like there’s hope for me. And I will walk again.
Hoping you are well!!❤️🙏
You're 100% correct doc. Early discovery of THE CAUSE is vital.
I unfortunately had bad doctors thst just kept pumping me full of painkillers. This led to the nerve sheef/protective cover being torn and then scare tissue development in the same area. And NOW its unfixable (its in my neck so very little wiggle room to cut out scar tissue without a high error rate).
So hopefully anymore reading this DEMAND your docs find the exact cause, never just settle for here's some pain meds it will go away in time.
i love your videos and your heart thank you for your helpfulness. working on my issue regularly now. wish I had started years ago, but better to be doing something today than just pray. I'm still praying too.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Thank you so much Doctor, you are special and I really love and enjoy all your videos. ❤ Just a question, please: where can I buy that wonderful Autonomic Nervous System board where you are showing how nerves affect the different areas of the body?
Thank you so much for your time!

Thank you! You’ve given me hope that I can repair myself before surgery gets on the table. I appreciate all you do.
I had a "bulging disk" and was in excruciating pain for 2 months. I was getting better, went to a physical therapist and that literally set me back an easy 3 weeks. What they said to do, literally and logically made no sense to me. They had me doing exercises that pinch and compressed the disk more?? Surgery was out of the question, over 80% of back surgeries fail and cause more pain. When they fuse or put plates and screws in your spine the vertebrate (joint) above and below now have to do the work of the vertebrates that were fused or plated together.
I had both shoulders scoped, wish i would've never had that done. Not only do i know that they can heal on their own, but they are always causing me pain. We have to realize ortho's and back dr's are in the surgery business, so that's what they sell. A lot of people that are lined up for knee surgery go see a Chiropractor and get that knee set back and aligns=ed and they cancel the surgery.
What really helped me was the right chiropractor, and hanging. I believe over 90% of DC's are rack'm and crack'm chiros, that get you in and out as fast as they can and really care nothing about getting you better. Look for a "Corrective Chiropractor". I personally like those that practice the Gonstead and/or the Chiropractis BioPhysics or CBP techniques. Corrective Chiropractors will do x-rays every 3 or 6 months to check the progression. Again over 90% of DC's don't do this. I understand why DC's have a bad rap, I personally love DC's, but I do not care for the rack'm, crack'm, send them on their way ones.
I drove 4 states away to my old chiro, which hurt like heck, but so worth it. He saw (which 2 others did not) on my x-ray that there was a twist in my spine where he believed the problem was. Hew was right, I started feeling and healing faster and was in far less pain.
After that I started hanging to decompress the spine. If you can decompress and open up the spine, more blood and nutrients can get into the joint to heal and will create space in between the vertebrates.
Inversion table is good also, but I really didn't have one and since it was my low back I would go to the gym and hang and a lot of times I would have my wife hug my hips and add her weight to mine.
A lot of people say that compressed or little disk space is just signs of aging and disk degeneration. I do not agree at all with that statement.
If that was the case every disk in the whole spine would be close to the same, when that is almost never the case. Trauma/injury causes this to happen. Whether it be an accident, work etc.
Last x-rays I was told (and saw) that my low back now has the disk space of a 19 year old. However my neck (cervical) and upper back (thoracic) does not.
I have had lot of trauma to me neck (accidents and work) and upper back and now have been doing exercises for them and am looking into decompressing them as well. My low back also was getting close in disk space, mostly on the inner part. Now I have more disk space than I did before I started the hanging, have x-rays that show this. I know my neck can be corrected and healed, just need to find a good chiropractor, a devise to decompress my neck and upper back and continue with the exercises.
Our bodies are self healing, as long as it gets what it needs to heal.
Hi there. What other spinal decompression exercises did you take up? Did you change up your diet significantly? May we please see your before and after scans? I have cervical spondylosis so looking for ways to decompress spine without having to do surgery.
@@theresapatterson879 Hi Theresa,
My neck is still a mess as well, I'm pretty sure if i saw a doctor they would label mine as cervical spondylosis as well.
However I don't believe it is from aging, mine is strictly due to trauma and career choices.
Diet always helps, certain foods help with oxygenating the blood and of course staying hydrated. At least half your body weight in water (Spring Water) each day. Liquids don't count, like juices, soda, etc. and since coffee is a diuretic and dehydrates the body, if you drink a cup, the you need to add that much more water. When I get up in the morning, before even standing up form bed I will sit and drink a full bottle of water. Before going to bed sometimes i will do this as well and oddly enough it has never made me get up to use the bathroom any more than usual.
Look up spinal decompression in your area, some chiropractors have the machines and can do it to the whole spine which obviously includes your neck.
I never did this but i need too.
What did help was using a neck hammock (Search Amazon) and chin tucks and other stretches.
Surgery is IMO the very last option, because they generally fuse the joints together, which all that does is force to top and bottom joints that are fused to also do the job of the fused ones.
Here are couple YT channels that hopefully are helpful to you.

Hey doc ,This is Sai and i'm so thankful for this video . I think I have a problem with my c4,c5 nerves
Could you please make a video of some exercises for this problem .
I was injured a few years ago, mri said rupture disk in L5 S1, L4 is protruding. Sciatica on my right side and last week re injured it and now i have a compressed nerve on my left side lower back. I'm due for steroid shots this month. First time it happened i couldn't walk for 3mos. And as i agree you do have to take care of it and xo everything my nerosurgon is telling me to do including massage therapy but i can't believe you just said dont just pray it away! It was because of prayer that i was able to walk again. yes you're supposed to do everything within our physicians and our own power but yes you should pray to. there are people who are going through a living nitemare with this. I totally understand the pain, but i also still pray for it because in doing so I know that the Lord does give me total relief from it! without prayer i wouldn't have walked again!
Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing 😊
lm suffering from basically the same thing callie. l5 through s1 radiculopathy , plus an anterior pelviic tilt. can barely walk in the mornings
candy walker really? i find the mornings the best,then it slowly goes downhill till evening.
What's it like for you in the evening?
x1c3x in the evenings the pain somewhat dissipates. its worst in the morning because the spine imbibes and therefore swells and presses more on the nerves
me too, i can walk better in the morning then... i found that laying down on stomach
gives me relief and i can walk better afterwards.
Incredible advice. Thanks Dr. Mandell!
Where can I get that light up diagram of the nerves??? That is SO cool and is a great educational tool!

Excellent Advice . . And Glad I Finally Chose To Consult A Physician
Thank you so much for making this video. You've answered alot of my questions
My Name is Amanuel. I started having problem three weeks ago with back stabbing pain. went to physic therapist, thought it was a muscle spasm. she administered massage, the pain in my tricep and lower arm persisted. week two i started experiencing numbness an pin in my left two fingers. had MR?I and x ray, images of herniation c4-c5 showed. clinical examination with neurologist and orthopaedic surgeon isolated ulnar nerve compression. but the issue of multiple compression was raised. examination ruled that the ulnar nerve is showing symptoms independent from the nerve. Nothing here is 100% for the doctors and for me. I am going to have procedure for ulnar nerve next week. I know this is not absolute but to rule out the possibility of compression coming from the nerve in the cervical area.
But I was to express my gratitude to your video clips which immensely helped me understand not only the specific problem, but the totality of understanding that was empowering for me ways very difficult to express in words only. Your clips are a window of your humanity, that is really touching.
Thank you so much!
Hi there my friend, C4-5 would affect the first and second digit. Ulnur nerve C8 would affect the last two fingers. Which would be the fourth and fifth. More commonly I'll be C-4 C-5 what affect the C-5 nerve and dream that would affect more commonly into the shoulder blade region. I'm assuming they found a C8 nerve from an EMG. I don't like EMGs there are too many false positives present.
I was diving several years ago and hyperextended my back doing so. The pain was instant and felt like a sprain. Although my muscles seemed to heal, I have a nagging nerve pain that has not gone away over the years. I think it's a pinched nerve. I wake up each morning with pain in my lower back. At times, the pain is quite unbearable when I come out of a seated position and stand up. I need to take a moment hunched over until the pain goes away. I've seen several doctors, have had x-rays, and have tried physical therapy (although I must admit not very consistently) and acupuncture several times but nothing seems to be working. Doctors have told me I need to live with this pain. My lower back (where the pain is) has gotten very stiff and won't curve anymore into a C shape when I try to touch my toes. The last physical therapist has told me to lay on a foam roller placed under my lower back to "curve it out." I wish I could come see you for therapy as you seem to really understand the body more than any other doctor I've encountered.
Hi Mina, copy and paste this message to Facebook. My page is motivationaldoc. Easier to communicate there. Will be on short travel but will get back to you.
@@motivationaldoc doc, give me more advice what can I do for my pinched nerve on my neck.. Thae pain from shoulder down to arms.. Pls🙏🙏🙏
thank you, I went to the doctor a few months ago and was put in physical therapy for 2 months twice a week, something popped in my shoulder releasing all the pressure built up on a giant numb spot on my spine gaining almost 40 percent left side mobility. .3 months later now and my nerves been lighting up in my shoulder and neck. I returned to the person who sent me to physical therapy and she acted as if no conection between the two. just pain she said. while I wait for an ortho referral over the long weekend your videos have been helping me cope. thank you these videos are sometimes a lifesaver
I love that sign you have.
I donated blood at a local drive 6 weeks ago and developed nerve pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and aching that started in my hand and has spread into my arm and up to my shoulder. I'm scheduled to have an EMG and NCS in a few weeks but in the meantime I'm noticing worse symptoms with my most recent one my arm and hand feeling cold to touch. My primary Dr hasn't been very helpful as honestly I don't think she has ever dealt with a case such as mine. I'm doing occupational therapy. 2 days weekly and this seems to help reduce the symptoms. I don't know how it can be possible to have a pinched nerve just from donating. I know my case is very rare and unfortunate but at the same time I've learned SO much about nerves and how they work. Thanks for your video. Was helpful.
Rosetta Byler im really sorry Rossetta, u will need tricyclic anti depressants to numb the damage or vitamin b1 to 12
michie jewel, Thank you for your response.
I'm doing much better but still experience mild symptoms with weather changes. Yesterday my hand and arm were cold to touch and overall my whole arm felt weak. It's 5 months since the nerve injury and symptoms have gradually been dissipating. B 12 has been very helpful and I also take Advil if needed. I also did occupational therapy for 4 weeks and experienced great relief. Overall it's a great relief these symptoms have nearly resolved.
Hi Doc Mandell. Its always great to listen to you. Four weeks back I had micro discectomy to operate on my herniated disc at L5-S1. I was feeling great and painfree life for the last 4 weeks. However, from couple of days I am feeling the identical sciatic pain down my left leg. Could you please help me understand why this pain again after surgery? Thanks.
Thank you very much Dr. you explain very well. I understand you. God bless you daughter is the best health for the people who need. God bless you all of the time.
Anyone with a pinched nerve on lower back with pain on left leg do some core work (planks and other not sit ups ) 2-3 weeks later u will feel no pain
Trevor L iam having the same symptoms lower back and my left leg is hurting so bad can hardly walk
I've been teaching Pilates and Yoga for years... and just developed this terrible pain from the low back and down the left leg. The left calf is the worst... and seeing a chiropractor, exercising, biofreeze, a 10's unit, massage, you name... I'm doing it... 2 weeks out... and the pain is just as bad or worse. :-( I've been told, the only thing you can do for a pinched nerve is surgery? I am 61 years young and in good health... but for some reason, the SI joint gave out while I was teaching a class and it's been painful Hell ever since.... now what? Planks and core work, don't necessarily guarantee pain free
I have pain in my right leg and it only hurts when I sit down ... is it a pinched nerve? What do I do
This is exactly what is going on with me. Know what it is?
Get operation immediatly i had one last week in Krefeld neurochirurg dr. Hageman had tremendous backpain now pain free the longer jou wait the more
Damage too your nerve the harder too get back at old level.
I have a sciatic nerve on right side of leg and it's really messing with me mentally. It's getting me depressed and that's not me .i can't take much more
Katherine Boultinghouse how are you feeling?
How is your sciatica pain now ?
I hope you're fine! ❤️🙏
True
Dr Mandel, I have injured my body due to auto accidents in 1999 and 2000, all hit from behind. In 2014, I sustained injury of a double stacked box on a 6' shelf. The top box's corner fell hitting the backside .of my left neck. Diagnosis we're peripheral neuropathy x4 extremeties, cervical myopathy, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, chronic headaches, syncopy, functioning blackouts. I now use a walker with a seat because I become excessively fatigued and must sit immediately. I am extremely off balance. I was also diagnosed with Osteoarthritis. I have short-term memory loss, lose track of thought mid sentence. I have been diagnosed with Renal Disease and angina, with hypertension. My thyroid has been diagnosed vas hypothyroid. Ever since January 16, 2014, I sustained a negligent injury due to store manager ignoring OSHA rules. Is there anything you can recommend to help? I was in excellent physical shape up to the point of trauma. I'm now only 59 years old, feeling anger, disparage, no sense of hope. I'm too young for my body to be traumatized in such a manner. Please if you can help in any capacity, please, I beg you to let me know. God bless you 😇😇
Because of your neck exercise I got intense headache and my exams got ruined
😂😂
I've had recurring sciatica from an injury and sadly didn't take the time off work when I got injured as I was only 2 months into the job and didn't want to loose it. Take my advice and take the time off of you afford to as I still have the issues 2 years on and it's limited what I can do in my day to day life. I hope this year it finally heals but it's slow going!
I had a pinched nerve on the left side of my neck that took 6 or 7 weeks to heal completely.
how you treated plz help am very depressed
Roshit what you have Problem? If u have pinched nerve then have it chuna
Can u tell how did u treat
Pls tell us about the treatments..
@@kiranambhore7719 I will you exercise it slowly you can use ice to numb the pain and warm water if it feels tight you can bath in salt warm water you can use a heating pad you can massage it and get lots of rest don't lift weight or nothing that will make it get worse
Thanks for reminding us to have mercy on our body .you gave me a shock .😍
No sleep from sciatic pain all night for 10 days will wipe you out!! Ice packs were needed.... Didn't know this until now. That searing, burning pain is worse than having a baby.....
Ain
Hey how is ur pain now..
I have low back pain due to no cartilage which affects my hips and legs. I also have neck pain due to fused discs. The pain goes into my head and face. It burns so bad that I literally want to die. Now that's pain. The first thing I do besides praying, is grab an ice pack. If I catch it quick enough it'll usually do the job....thank the Lord.
sciatica is a symptom of some other problem. Hopefully you you're better now
I am sorry to hear that.
How long did the Doctors say the recovery will be so that you start to feel pain free God willing!
@@chrispapadatos3458 not sure if you're talking to me or Jean. Mine will probably never go away unless the Lord wills it. I have to be extremely careful of what I do and for how long. Makes life a little difficult. Especially since I have NO-ONE to help out. Am not suppose to lift any weight. So figure that one out. Things have only gotten worse over the last few years so I went from feeling young to feeling old quickly. Will probably have to sell my house since I can't keep up with things anymore. Kind of sucks but I guess we have to deal with what comes our way. Hopefully the Lord will direct my path. And sorry for venting. Just came in from mowing.
Wonderful demonstration.
I like watching your video, I learn what vitamins and mineral I need to take as I am not really taking vitamins all my life. I suffered back pain and had both X-ray and MRI results last January, had prescribed opioid meds and muscle relaxant but pain still there ... I had my first epidural injection done last January 19 for L4L5 which sad to say lasted less than a week, pain kept rising and can’t walk, stand and sit much longer, so my doctor put me for 2nd epidural shot March 13 in L5S1 this time. Went home the amount of pain decreased from 10 to 2, but when I start working, standing and walking aggravated again and pain begins again.
I am thinking getting vitamins that I learn from you I’ll get all the B’s D3, K2 supplementary to my daily needed and hopefully will see within 3 weeks if I can feel improvement on my condition without taking steroids meds etc.
I do not want to go under the knife.
I have been down with sciatic nerve pain for three months now. Unable to do anything without this constant pulsating pain through the entire right leg. But, your case seems much worse. I really hope you recover.
C Sanchez ,hi THERE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THANK GOD I TOOK NATURAL MEDECINE HOME THERAPY AND HOME REMEDY.

@@smile2lifesmile2love21 ,I forget, clear your mind take ashwagandha and green tea .stress is destructive, MEDITATION also can help, be POSITIVE. Hang on it,there are solutions, it is mostly how relate to it.bye oh here is my email bybbah@gmail.com, Remind me how we got in contact. TAKE CARE.
Thanks Dr. Mandell...u r a great help to many people... just wanna ask which doctor to consult if i have these symptoms? Salamat
I was just standing in my kitchen pouring a drink and I randomly felt like something tiny in my back next to my left shoulder blade bursted. Idk if this is what it is. But I'm in so much pain right now
Get it checked out now dont wait 7 months like I did.
@@jonathanvillareral6781 what was it?
U ever u ever figure out what it was?
I did figure it out after the Chiropractor did an x-ray it was a herniated disk. I still have lower back problems but not as much pain anymore, only when I sit for a long time do I start feeling it. I just dead hang from a pull up bar and that seems to work.
You are a Godsend!
I'm suffering from 6 month MRI Report shows Annular ligament fissure at L5 S1 level What can I do
Your absolutely right correct 👌 I have a knee surgery in January 2020 and I was given a Epidural in the lower back...Now am having a pinched nerve on the left side and I can feel it in my second toe...
Dr. Mandell"" Or anybody else who might be aware!! Is standing on a vibration Machine good or bad for cervical nerves C5 C6 C7 ? THNX!
Not a doctor, but I used a vibration machine and hurt my L3.
No no! You'll make it even worse, you need to take the pressure off of the pinched nerve and vibration does quiet the opposite.
Can i take anti infammatory like cerebrex?
Please don't use such machines.. Sometimes we are tired our body need rest n vibration is like uninvited guest..walking is best exercise. Stretching exercises are must. I'm not a doctor.
I have physical aches n pains due to mild arthritis. My suggestion is first try to give little rest to your body. next, 20 min walk with right posture, right pair of shoes very important. Pain killers are meant for pain so once you please ask your doctor if you don't have Any other condition like blood pressure. You can always take a pain killer for a better quality of life. Age matters.
@@nana.naghmana9 this's exactly how i delt with my condition which is cervical herniation, you're making a lot of sense.
Very good video. I understand much more about my herniated disc in my lower lumbar spine now.
Hello Doctor Mandell, Thanks for your videos. I have been doing BJJ for a while and recently earlier this month I was experiencing slight tingling in my left hand on the thumb and index and tightness of traps and neck area (only triggered from moving neck and stretching it out in certain direction or using it). This is only slight, and I continued with my training and stretching and self trigger point. I decided to do Physical Therapy last Friday and Monday and Acupuncture, manual therapy traction, warm towel around neck was used. Exercises to tuck chin down lying on my back and rolling out arm was prescribed. After Monday's Physical Therapy session and I also trained Monday, it got considerably worse. There is now pain and consistent numbness on my left thumb and enough pain while walking around that my posture is affected and I have to compensate by putting my head down slightly (can't stand up tall). Sleeping on my back / side would also cause the pain and prevent me from sleeping - the last two nights i've been sleeping straight up or get tired enough to fall asleep. I can feel my muscle tightness from my back of my neck behind my upper back down to the arm. I went to see a sports medicine doctor (I did not see one b4 seeing the PT) today and he recommended to find the root cause - so I got an xray first (MRI is 2 month wait list here in Toronto, Canada. but I plan to sign up) and will assess with him tommorrow. 1) I am resting and not doing BJJ while this is happening 2) Should I cancel the PT session for tmrw since , could it have aggravated me more? 3) I am using heat / cold which both seem to give temp comfort for very short while and advil (which seems to do not much). 4) I also tried your lying at edge of bed self traction and that was causing pain behind my neck without even pushing it, so I stopped 5) I find it very hard to make the right decisions with the variety of professionals available (chiro, physio, etc. different sports med), any other recommendations on what else to do. (or just simply time, rest, get help from 1 or more sports med and proceed with Xray, MRI to find root causes)
Thanks in advance, Felix
Hey Felix just curious how things turned out for you? I also train BJJ and am a similar situation
Felix, hope you are doing better. I too started feeling slight numbness and made it worse stretching out my neck and arms. If anybody reads this avoid nerve flossing or anything that bends your neck left or right. Let the inflammation around your neck go down before aggressive stretches and schedule a xray mri.
Thanks Dr. Mandel! Mine decompression is on c3-c6. And I don't want to perform surgery. Surgery of the spine in Nigeria is usually 50, 50. I haven't heard of anyone who did it and got better. They end up being bed-ridden. I don't want to end up like that. Am 54 years and am already suffering so much pains from my cervical neuropathy. Sometimes I will feel completely fine and the next moment the pains will be so excruciating. My left side from my head to my feet especially the neck and shoulder area
How's yours pain now?
I have sciatica. i suffered a massive flare up on monday. its now Saturday morning. and each day it was pretty excruciating pain . friday night i slept flat on my stomach and was able to fall asleep most of the night almost pain free . But i have to ask you doctor last Saturday i had to ejaculate as i had too much build up and i think thats what caused my flare up . now im a 37yold male its been hard to keep all that stored up energy down there. but im finding that each time i have ejaculated my flare ups are worse the next few days after. could there be a problem with me ? maybe a tumor or prostate problem?
silverss onyoutube that used to happen to me
how is it now bro? I was 180 lbs and strong as an ox at 38, I was jogging and hit a rabbit hole and that was it, I broke my ankle! from that 2 weeks after I just kept feeling pain up and down in my entire leg thought it was from my ankle, I found out I fucked up my lower back in the fall, not a dime for doctor or chiropractor, And to much pain to rub one out and that sex with my girlfriend became bad for me lol!, But I had no choice to wake up and go to work, and man the pain I went through for next 2 years was insane! I am now 41 and 95% naturally healed
yes one was bulging in my lower back and I can even feel it when it was swollen
Bro it's cause for your pelvic floor muscle...do some pelvic floor release stretches and avoid ejaculation as much as you can...sex agravate this symtoms.
silverss onyou
8 weeks ago my wife neck started hurting. 3 weeks after the pain started, 2 or 3 chiropractor appts later she developed severe tinnitus and still had neck pain. She’s seen multiple doctors and done scans. She’s now started decompression at a clinic because the scans show deterioration in some disks. It’s been 2 weeks of treatment and her tinnitus has improved slightly for periods of time but still at a level 5 most the time and peaking at an 8 here and there. My question is, you think this may be nerve related? Any suggestions? I love my wife and want her to get her life back, she’s struggling and I’ll do anything to help her
Dr. Mandell, what type of physician would one need to go to evaluate and diagnose a pinched nerve. I'm pretty sure I have this issue, but don't want to waste time going to my general practitioner if I don't need to. Thanks in advance.

motivationaldoc I just saw this after I commented. I found that out after I was injured several years ago.
motivationaldoc I have been seeing a chiro for the last 2 weeks and still have numbness in my arm/fingers. He says I have a herniated disc and he needs about 2 months with me..... 3x a week. Does this sound about right?
Who would you recommend to go and see for this problem?
kindly tell me how to cure ths please

Hello Dr Mandell, I am so Grateful for these videos, 12Years of so much Pain C3-C7 , two discs are back in place, C6 C7 seem to be the problem, Chronic Pain, from just a Nerve/Roots. Thank you 👍👍👍
Many Blessings to you and your loved ones.

John Roberts how are you feeling? Do you still have nerve pain ?
@@pcsolis23 Yeah, I wish some of these people would come back and post that they got better. Then, tell us how they got better. We all could learn from that.
Im experiencing pain in lower back, tingling in foot, back of my thigh feels like a pulled muscles . Im in pain. I dont want to just take a pill.
Thank You
I used to have that try swimming
Cat/cow, massage/chiropractor combo, strengthen core, and more UA-cam videos about sciatica to learn more. And yea, see a doctor.
As I have shared a miracle treatment of one ancient Indian technique in earlier video on this forum...Again I repeat..our body has got self healing power...but It is almost zero in case of nerve problem when we are in movement and exercise.
What do you do when you say “do somthing”?
Thanks you have helped out a lot doing the exercises little bit better thank you your a really good
I have had a pinched/irritated nerve at C2 now for 1 year - causing occipital neuralgia, dizziness and pain. Given neck stabilization exercises, also did your video on Pinched nerve neck pain.

Kaitlyn Zorn I hit my right arm funny bone hard at a party and it hurt for a while and if I touched it, it hurt. It got better but it feels weaker than my left funny bone. It feels more sensitive now is it going to take a while to heal or stay like that??? What can I do.
how you been.
I have reached maximum medical capacity with my severe pinched nerve. Do you do surgery as well? Would love for you too take a look at my situation and give me your best recommendations.
I am feeling pain in my foot bottom
Have had pinched nerve for past 2-3 weeks and even with chiro wasn't improving - but just did some of your exercises for neck traction and results amazing, still some numbness in upper arm muscle (feels more muscular now than tingling) - but I have my right arm back yeah!! will keep up the exercises - thank you sooo much, was in tears this morning from the constant pain/no sleep and my whole outlook has changed - Thank you so much for your great advice.

That is excellent! Many blessings to you😊
I think I pinched a nerve in my left shoulder or trap. I had severe pain in my neck, shoulder, left elbow, and whole left arm that happened suddenly while I was trying to stretch out a stiff neck. It made my whole left arm feel like pins and needles and hurt BAD. Now it is 6 months later and some strength has come back and most of the numbness is gone. But I have pretty bad muscle atrophy in my tricep and pec. And my pointer finger still has the pins and needles numb feeling. I used to bench 225, now I can't do 135... I couldn't do a push up for the first two months, now I can do about 20. Which is great improvement, but still weak. Just wondering if you have any ideas and if there is any hope. I don't have insurance otherwise I would have seen a doctor a long time ago... Thank you
Probably a disc involvement because of the the weakness. Consider MRI and/or over the door traction
Good day , i have the same problem , is any medication ?
nabil edhkouri hi Nabil. I have 2 herniated c6, c7. I was given many but the one that helped is called Gambapentin. It's a medication used to treat epilepsy. They've found people with nerve pain benefit from it. It worked for me. It's non narcodic
nerves are not in your shoulder
BlessMyGameENT how does that help me? are you trying to be funny? what exactly is the brachial plexus then???
How do we find where the nerve is actually pinched or being compressed? What kind of dr would be best for helping you figure this out??
