My spasms exacerbate with overthinking and anxiety. I do deep breathing and giving myself permission to rest. Placing a hard ball under the spasm seems to help a bit, and telling myself that this too, will pass; to just ride it out. But the spasms are painful and scary. Thanks for being there Bob & Brad❤
Or upper back spasms that go from top to bottom on one side. I have been in misery for 7 days and no meds can stop it, I've tried them all. It is just living hell!
@@susanmandeville693 yep mine in one sided for c2 to t8. Can’t sleep more than 2 hours and wake up with the horrible spasm everyday then a full day of unbearable pain. Been 2 years now
✨ Please can you address how to deal with back spasms when you’re on your own with no help around and you literally can’t move - no fetching pillows or cushions, no getting your phone, no crawling to a bed, no assistance of any kind. So often when an attack happens, we’re not in the best place, there’s no one to help or bring things, we don’t have anything to hand, and it’s absolutely terrifying. I’ve yet to see a video about how to truly cope when it’s just you. Every video out there about coping with back spasms shows people getting help or moving about in a way that the initial phase of back spasms just DO NOT ALLOW. Please help. No one else is responding to this question, but you guys are really good and I hope you will 🤞 Thank you
@@rsign37 That does not address the question whatsoever. IF someone has a phone actually in hand and can actually place a call to paramedics, they’d still have to break in, obviously if someone can’t move. And likewise, they can’t get to ER alone. That’s the whole point of the question. And pain management and a PT for home? Pain management isn’t going to release a spasm. Is a PT going to move in and stay 24/7, so the person can call out for help? The question is about being alone, with no phone on hand, and Not. Being. Able. To. Move. At. All. If one has fallen, or is standing, when they’ve fallen and were not able to crawl out) and if one literally, (not figuratively) cannot walk, cannot crawl, and everything else that is already stated, then the person wants to know ahead of time what, if anything, can be done to release enough to crawl or walk and call for help. Otherwise, telling someone who is in a muscle spasm and can’t crawl, or walk, or even reach for a pillow or a way to pull oneself up to go to ER, or have a doc send someone to do PT in-home is like telling a homeless person to “get a job”, when the logistics of doing that require a shower, decent clothes…and a way to keep clothes clean, a way to wake up, a place to get ready, and a way to get to work.,.and eventually a safe place to sleep, because it’s hard to hold a job when you don’t ever get decent sleep, and maybe even are freeing outside. Shelters get full, and aren’t usually safe at all. Many shelters have all kinds of staff stealing what little they have, run drugs out the back door, there’s no privacy, and people can steal from one another when they’re sleeping or have stepped away from their stuff, they can also be assaulted and staff won’t step in. Some places won’t hire if you don’t have your own transportation, but even bus fare costs money; too. So, telling someone to go to ER when they can’t even crawl, or to have a doc order PT at the house, doesn’t really solve the problem or address the question at all, quite like telling the homeless to simply “get a job”. Both situations have many immediate barriers that prevent the very thing they are being told to do.
I want you to know that you have helped me so much today. I was literally stuck on the floor,watched this video and was able to move and stand up again, so thank you guys. I am now a subscriber 👍🏻

There is NO WAY IN HELL I can move around like this, use roller balls, get a rolled up towel, use a massage gun, etc. when I’m having spasms. No. Possible. Way. I can’t move an inch and the pain is so intense that it takes my breath away. Good for people that have someone to help them or are able to move more, but I’m definitely not one of them, unfortunately.
Yes! You can't flex or extend and the pain and spasming is SO bad! Had to go to ER- Baclophen worked wonders! Learned I have a lumbar retrolisthesis and anterolisthesis!
The one thing they did say that really works is the handheld vibrator. I have one in my nightstand and I got a spasm while in bed. I'm not going to lie it hurts at first but after a minute or two it starts to relax the muscle and the contractions will stop. You may have to do it multiple times. it just feels like you have a really stiff back like arthritis afterwards. But it stops the immediate pain of the spasm.

Same. I don’t know how ppl move. Mine pull me down towards the right and then HOLDS or continues to squeeze… pull… squeeze….pull… until I’m on the floor, tense and bracing myself so I don’t fall hard. Stretching?? My back is like NO MAAM I’m in charge here! 😭😭😭
I found that I can't lift a 24 pack of bottled water or I'll be sitting with a heating pad, advil, and muscle relaxer. I get so mad because I'm one to do everything and I can't.
There’s nothing more disheartening than that moment you feel that strain of your lower back and you just know you’re screwed. Took muscle relaxers once and felt as though I had vertigo.
So normally whenever i get muscle spasm i cant move for nearly 3 days but you guys really helped me out..........i was able to recover in just 12 hrs and i am being generous while estimating the time
I’m so grateful this came in my UA-cam box today I am in dire pain with back spasms I’m getting my heating pad in my recliner and sitting straight up right now I really wish I could have one of those vortex but it is not in my budget disabled veteran
Recently my back "spasmed out" like four times during three weeks. I went to PT, things were getting better, I was finally able to exercise again (I'd been doing the core work that the PT prescribed) and then it happened again anyways (kinda my fault though, I got carried away writing something at my PC and didn't notice how I was sitting). I had enough at that point as my back had been hurting pretty badly non-stop for weeks... so I called a doctor, they gave me muscle relaxants and pain meds (I couldn't sleep as no position was pain-free) and the same day (yesterday) things got significantly better, and today I am able to function as a normal human. No side effects of the meds, although I was instructed of course not to drive. I'm not tired, just happy to be relativelly pain-free. I get the sentiment of trying to do things "med-free" but for me personally these back cramps would last 4-5 days of pretty severe pain and this way I am able to move and do some gentle exercise (and sleep!) so much faster.
Hey, im glad youre doing fine again!! Im having the worst pain since 2 years, painkillers didnt help at all.. thinking now about using muscle relaxants. Which one have you used?
Regarding hot pads and fire. They can ignite in certain circumstances. In my case, the hot pad on high as I slept, got itself bended and pushed between the mattress and headboard. A tight position. When I woke one whole edge of the cover and pad was smoldering black cinders. Don’t know why it didn’t flame up. My guardian angel was at work again.
Thanks guys! Right on time. I've had my lumbar going into spasms since last wknd. I did massage for about 20 yes, but its hard to treat yourself! So.. for me, the tens unit had saved me, but had to use it a lot, daily, along with ibuprofen! I wish I lived wherever you guys are, I'd be a client!! I've got my own cleaning business, almost 10 yrs now, just me, by myself, so only do one house a day, & have to wear my lumbar support belt every day! I have spondylosis at L2/3.
I don't have lower back pain. Mine is under my scapula, in the trapezoid/latissamus dorsi area. The spasms feel like someone is squeezing my chest wall to the point it knocks the wind out of me
@@gerrygizzygarcia2572 ok, let me tell you what worked for me. It may or may not for you but thats for the doctor to figure out. I did take heavy meds initially but it was affecting my behaviour so i stopped that, while i was phasing them out i did a lot of walking ~30 min/ day and got on an anti inflammatory diet. I did 3 mins of inversion at the end of the day at bed time, 3 days of yoga a week for flexibility. I did get a corticosteroid injection on the problem site which allowed me to better tolerate the pain without addictive medications. Let me know if anything helps. Get well soon!
Thanks guys! I have really bad knots in my shoulder blades that spasm often. This helped me get loose again :) Any tips for getting rid of the knots though?
What is that massager called? Would it be available on Amazon? I had the most frightening and painful spasms on my upper back the morning. It eased after taking 250 mgs of Naproxen combined with Voltaren rubbed in. Downside....... mild hives🙄
Hey guys a quick question: Any advice for a 26 hour long international flight and dealing with back pain? I've got a pretty much constant spasm on my left side lower back, and dreading an upcoming flight in a few weeks. I have both muscle relaxers and things like Xanax. Not for any kind of long-term drug use, but okay for 1 day. What do you guys suggest to get me through the flight? I do get up every couple of hours and walk around. And of course I stay hydrated. Advil just doesn't cut the pain for me. Any herbal supplements you suggest? I know things like magnesium are good for muscles, but doubt it's going to take away a spasm. I have tried tumeric, but it upsets my stomach. Suggestions?
Magnieum Glycate 200-500mg 1hr b4 sleep ALA-R Alpha liopocic organic It's for nerves 200mg Turmeric blended with ginger black pepper cayanee pepper 1 orange pineapple lemon or the pre-made immunity ginger turm. shots take them empty stomach morning Zinz calcium vitamin D3 morning Icy hot b4 any activities movement I like to take hot showers b4 sleep plus icy hot or b4 sitting Lumbar support pillow always! Walking is key! Deep Breathing inflate stomach & exhale big
I have experience two the other day early in the morning. It was horrible. The second one that came it hurt so bad I dropped to the floor and lay flat on my back. It’s terrible feeling. Never had thaws before. I took myself later to the gym and stayed in the top tub and then to the steam room and then to the sauna and back in the hot tub. And went in the pool and swam for alittle. That worked out great. I was there for two hours. It’s horrible to have theses. Thanks for the tips. Laura
When I have lower back spasms it's like I'm in the middle of an exorcism. I can't move an inch without triggering another spasm. There is no way I could do any of these during one of these episodes. Maybe after 3 or 4 days but by then the actual spasms have stopped and I am left with severely strained muscles.
Don’t understand the prone position with pillow under lower abdomen. I thought the treatment for low back spasm was to increase the lumbar lordosis to avoid pain, whereas that looks like it’s doing the opposite. Can you explain ?
Never experienced a back spasm? Let me paint a picture👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 One day (yrs ago) I had my appendix removed. Dr told me afterwards that it had burst. For 8 days after, I rec’d alternate shots of demerol & morphine, I was on a triple antibiotic drip bc they we’re trying to reduce my 105.3° temp. In addition, I had 2 drainage tubes - plus the drs didn’t close up the wound b/c it had to be irrigated a few times a day Well, let me tell you - back spasms come in a close second… like a jolt of electricity shooting through you! It can stop you in your tracks b/c the pain it off the charts Well mine is & whoever is going thru this, please be careful & listen to these guys God Bless
Hello sir... I sprained my ankle 1 1/2 months ago ...my swelling has reduced ..and have swelling a little ...but my right leg ligament still hurts when i do exercise given by DOC ...what should i do?? Any suggestions! Thanks 🙂
I like it when you ramble. That's why I listen. (And for the health care, of course!) Muscle relaxants don't do a thing for my muscles! They work fine as an emotional tranquilizer. My spasms are in my sacroiliac fascia. Too bad I didn't know about the Thermotex Platinum before I got my stimulus check. I could have budgeted for it.
FIY instead of spending money on link promo's by printing... You can actually add those digitally for free by editing the video... It's an easy skill to learn...
Ok guys thanks but you all need to make an emergency video ...we don't need a bunch of "commercials" and chit chat while in pain...most people getting to this video are in pain and need immediate infomation. Please do one that gets right to the helpful info. Maybe do a video per type of injury ( lower back, mid back, upper back). Thanks.
you guys are doing a lot of movement in your demonstrations for someone who is suffering in the moment of a muscle spasm. I literally want to pass out. No way i can do all of this movement without at least taking one muscle relaxer.
Thank you very much for this (and your other work). I have just "tweaked" my back, two days ago, tightening I belt in the morning of alll the crazy things. Anyway your video just popped up in my UA-cam feed, very timely, so thank you again. Alistair

My back has been healing for over 6 weeks now, almost 2 months. and now its starting to spasm again. I hate this!! I just want to be well and painfree. I will try the massage gun bc at this point I will try anything.
So we're all just watching this with back pain, huh
😂😂 Yas!!
Oh backsolutely!! 😄 🤣
What is up with idiots asking these types of questions in these type a videos. No we all just wanted to watch this shit for no reason

2 weeks … over here and it got worse now I can’t move before warming up

I've got my own cleaning business, almost 10 yrs now, just me, by myself, so only do one house a day, & have to wear my lumbar support belt every day! I have spondylosis at L2/3.
2x bulging discs in lower back, back has been in and out of spasm for a year now. Almost every day I get spasms of some sort with sciatica as well.
I don't have lower back pain. Mine is under my scapula, in the trapezoid/latissamus dorsi area. The spasms feel like someone is squeezing my chest wall to the point it knocks the wind out of me
Me too.
Thank You Bob and Brad 🕊️ You guys are such a Blessing 💗
I have heirnated disc and spinal stenosis that gave me bad spasms since Jan so hopefully this helps
Can I contact you I got the same two symptoms and I am not understanding if it's spasms or hernia not recovering.
I had a hernia before it's a way diff feeling if all the pain is in your lower back then it's something else most likely not a hernia
L5s1?
@@justchillin5373 yeah pretty much l1 to l5
@@gerrygizzygarcia2572 ok, let me tell you what worked for me. It may or may not for you but thats for the doctor to figure out.
I did take heavy meds initially but it was affecting my behaviour so i stopped that, while i was phasing them out i did a lot of walking ~30 min/ day and got on an anti inflammatory diet.
I did 3 mins of inversion at the end of the day at bed time, 3 days of yoga a week for flexibility.
I did get a corticosteroid injection on the problem site which allowed me to better tolerate the pain without addictive medications.
Let me know if anything helps. Get well soon!
What about for the middle back ??
You guys have any advice for a painful spasm in the right middle side of my back? Been suffering for weeks now
Thanks guys! I have really bad knots in my shoulder blades that spasm often. This helped me get loose again :) Any tips for getting rid of the knots though?
Me trying to get through this video without throwing my phone out the window because these back spasms are unbearableeeee!
Heating pad is my best friend helps me soo much with my pain
What is that massager called? Would it be available on Amazon?
I had the most frightening and painful spasms on my upper back the morning. It eased after taking 250 mgs of Naproxen combined with Voltaren rubbed in.
Downside....... mild hives🙄
00:15 Brads hand gestures and bobs “it’s humble!!” lmao
I have upper back spasm watching to see what helps
Love these guys. Always make me smile.
Hey guys a quick question: Any advice for a 26 hour long international flight and dealing with back pain? I've got a pretty much constant spasm on my left side lower back, and dreading an upcoming flight in a few weeks. I have both muscle relaxers and things like Xanax. Not for any kind of long-term drug use, but okay for 1 day. What do you guys suggest to get me through the flight? I do get up every couple of hours and walk around. And of course I stay hydrated. Advil just doesn't cut the pain for me. Any herbal supplements you suggest? I know things like magnesium are good for muscles, but doubt it's going to take away a spasm. I have tried tumeric, but it upsets my stomach. Suggestions?
Magnieum Glycate 200-500mg
1hr b4 sleep
ALA-R Alpha liopocic organic
It's for nerves 200mg
Turmeric blended with ginger black pepper cayanee pepper 1 orange pineapple lemon or the pre-made immunity ginger turm. shots take them empty stomach morning
Zinz calcium vitamin D3 morning
Icy hot b4 any activities movement I like to take hot showers b4 sleep plus icy hot or b4 sitting
Lumbar support pillow always!
Walking is key!
Deep Breathing inflate stomach & exhale big
That tennis ball vs wall was the winner. Thank you guys!
I would take your counsel, because obviously you live what you teach! You both look very healthy!!! I don’t take the advice of people who don’t:)~❄️
Um, they're in their late 20s... So...
I have experience two the other day early in the morning. It was horrible. The second one that came it hurt so bad I dropped to the floor and lay flat on my back. It’s terrible feeling. Never had thaws before. I took myself later to the gym and stayed in the top tub and then to the steam room and then to the sauna and back in the hot tub. And went in the pool and swam for alittle. That worked out great. I was there for two hours. It’s horrible to have theses. Thanks for the tips. Laura
Why when i lay flat on my back it starts to spasm?? Plz help
What about spasms in the upper/inner thigh or calves?
These videos are so helpful! Thanks!
usually when i have a spasm i just have to crack my back a certain way and it dissipates but this time i can’t find that crack spot
Can l walk in muscle spasm
I'm stuck on muscle relaxers for a year now 😥 Because of spasm in my midback. I cant loose the pills 🥺❤❤
Oh no, Candi! Try the infrared pad like the boys said. It's worth giving it a try to get rid of the pills. Good luck, Girl!
I too infrequently take Flexeril for muscle spasm relief and I swear they make my leg muscles feel and act weaker.Another fall, I can not handle!💖
@@JustBreathewithRachelGreene Thank You so much 💖 I live in Denmark and the infrared pads are very expensive 🥺 I use the tennisball a lot ❤
@@dawngayle9175 Yes please be carefull ❤ I get super tired 🥺 Take Care 💗💕
@@candi_z32babyface29 Thank you so much Candi.God bless you.I hope your pain and spasms will leave you be!💖
When I have lower back spasms it's like I'm in the middle of an exorcism. I can't move an inch without triggering another spasm.
There is no way I could do any of these during one of these episodes. Maybe after 3 or 4 days but by then the actual spasms have stopped and I am left with severely strained muscles.
we are very sorry to hear that. Have you tried apple cider vinegar, magnesium supplements, stretching daily?
I love these dudes. They are informative and funny.
Oh my gosh... recently switched to 1.25x video speed and its changed my life 😅
Mind blown 🤯 😂Still, useful if you’re killing time with a bag of frozen peas under you
Don’t understand the prone position with pillow under lower abdomen. I thought the treatment for low back spasm was to increase the lumbar lordosis to avoid pain, whereas that looks like it’s doing the opposite. Can you explain ?
Every time I search something medical there go my buddies Bob and Brad.
Never experienced a back spasm? Let me paint a picture👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
One day (yrs ago) I had my appendix removed. Dr told me afterwards that it had burst. For 8 days after, I rec’d alternate shots of demerol & morphine, I was on a triple antibiotic drip bc they we’re trying to reduce my 105.3° temp. In addition, I had 2 drainage tubes - plus the drs didn’t close up the wound b/c it had to be irrigated a few times a day
Well, let me tell you - back spasms come in a close second… like a jolt of electricity shooting through you! It can stop you in your tracks b/c the pain it off the charts
Well mine is & whoever is going thru this, please be careful & listen to these guys
God Bless
Would spasms also occur in abdomen? Rib cage? If so, what pt can I do? Great video information. Thank you!!
If frequent spasms , then muscles are weak.. core strengthening
..and as per ayurveda you can massage your body..
What about foot spasms every early morning I get
Hello sir...
I sprained my ankle 1 1/2 months ago ...my swelling has reduced ..and have swelling a little ...but my right leg ligament still hurts when i do exercise given by DOC ...what should i do?? Any suggestions!
Thanks 🙂
I need that bed and In a queen I’m still in pain as I’m speaking to you I have massive back spasms in constant pain in my lower back
I was squatting then suddenly i feel cramps in my back and after that my body just freeze in that position 😢 now i cant move my body.
Good job and very important tips. Tks
PLEASE!!!! I NEED THAT BED!!!! Thank you soooo much!!!!
We hold giveaways for this one every month - the second Sunday of every month!
We’re all laying on the floor in pain watching this
Where can I buy a mini massage gun
Thanks
I use Mg oil or pain melt that is mg based miracle. Heat pack is thermal infrared heat? My GM had knee pain and used infrared heat...
I like it when you ramble. That's why I listen. (And for the health care, of course!)
Muscle relaxants don't do a thing for my muscles! They work fine as an emotional tranquilizer.
My spasms are in my sacroiliac fascia.
Too bad I didn't know about the Thermotex Platinum before I got my stimulus check. I could have budgeted for it.
I have spasms in the same area. Just got the Thermotex platinum and I highly recommend it. It has reduced my pain and spasms so much.
Hey Susan, Hopefully you can find some relief with the pad or other...also, do you know what imbalances in the body are causing the spasms?
FIY instead of spending money on link promo's by printing... You can actually add those digitally for free by editing the video... It's an easy skill to learn...
Thank you guys I am having light back spasms
Will try heat again but the last time I tried it my back started spazzing way worse
Very helpful tips! Thanks very much.
Helpful as always 👍
how do you know if you have Back Spasm
Trust me, you'll know! You won't be able to move!
@@AFH2522 well I can't bend down
A back spasm feels like labor pains. The muscle tightens up and then releases, tightens up and releases. The tightening up is what is the killer!
You would be In So much pain and possibly start crying
@@susanmandeville693wow. That’s exactly how a man can relate to labor pains. Labor is the worse part after all.
Tried roller for upper back its alot more painfull after
Thank you! ❤😇❤
been having severe back spasms this week could hardly walk its horrendous :( , just ordered the gun and thermotex heat pad hopefully it helps 🤞
Did it help??
Yes they both helped alot ! combined with the daily stretches back is fine now :)
You guys are great. ☺️
how long back muscle pain can last?
unfortunately, I've had them last for 5-6 weeks!
Back started cramping while playinfh basketball and the day after it cramps so much during the day and at night
I did get a burn, which blistered and took a few days to heal.
Ok guys thanks but you all need to make an emergency video ...we don't need a bunch of "commercials" and chit chat while in pain...most people getting to this video are in pain and need immediate infomation. Please do one that gets right to the helpful info. Maybe do a video per type of injury ( lower back, mid back, upper back). Thanks.
Long time fan ... please give directive for excruciating spasms in your inner thighs - need help - please
Mg oil helps me.
Wow thank you for this info broS❄️you guys are very helpful! 💯
Magnesium deficient
Thank you
Thanks B n B!! 💜☮
Guys.....I'm 34 and my back is in a bad way. My back is constantly twinging either in my left and right lat. Feels like its in my ribs.
You may want to get that looked at.
The way the guy just got up make me jealous lol!
I’ve never liked muscle relaxers and they don’t work for me... never have
Well hopefully this works I got back spasms from lifting a mat up
Hard to do when you're on the job.
you guys are doing a lot of movement in your demonstrations for someone who is suffering in the moment of a muscle spasm. I literally want to pass out. No way i can do all of this movement without at least taking one muscle relaxer.
Immediate click on back spasm info. Thank you. Awesome content
The thumbnails ! They are all so good
Ok I enjoyed this video
I took meds for back spasms with no side affect.
Thank you very much for this (and your other work).
I have just "tweaked" my back, two days ago, tightening I belt in the morning of alll the crazy things. Anyway your video just popped up in my UA-cam feed, very timely, so thank you again.

*Inflamed related back pain*
_92% of American doctors don’t know that most back pain can come from inflammation, not all back pain comes from physical injuries or wrong posture sitting._
_If you’re suffering from back pain muscle spasm that seems to go away when your walking, that is inflammation._
_Most inflammation comes from processed sugar of all sorts; white bread, white rice, pasta, Red meat, burgers and popular processed meats like hot dogs, sausages and bacon are associated with high inflammation and should be avoided if you suffer from back pain. Red meat contains a sugar called Neu5GC, which promotes inflammation._
*_Neu5Gc,_*_ a non-human sialic acid sugar molecule common in red meat that increases the risk of tumor formation in humans, is also prevalent in pig organs, with concentrations increasing as the organs are cooked, a study by researchers from the UC Davis School of Medicine and Xiamen University School of Medicine has found._
_Other causes of back pain that almost 98% of doctors don’t know as well as chiropractors, physical therapist is back spasms that come from a _*_lack of bowel movement._*
_When you have large ounces of stool sitting in your bowels it can cause a _*_back spasm_*_ due to your bowels and intestines enlarging pushing up against the _*_arch of your spine_*_ causing the back muscles to spaz in order to _*_protect_*_ that arch in your lower back; Wendy’s to force is a working against one another he can cause a herniated disc_
_Another cause a back spasm is low magnesium in your blood, you are not getting enough or eating enough magnesium rich foods._
*Here’s a list of vitamins and minerals that fight inflammation*
*Omega-3s in fish oil*
*Vitamin D*
*Garlic*
*Vitamin C*
*Vitamin A*
*Vitamin B6, folate (B9), and B12*
*Vitamin E*
I don't really think any of you know what a real back spasm is and the incredible pain from it!!
I know I am in a lot of pain right now.... And these videos are not helping much...
@@unkinetic7407 Nothing is helping me at this point!!
Can't lie on my tummy coz if breathing problems.
My back is in spasms. Help
Awesome!
I love watching you guys are hilarious
I am finding: if i wake up with s stiff or aching back, i rub pure tamanu oil on the location. The pain is gone in minutes.
These guys crack me up, but they also have very useful PT ideas. Funny , and educational!
Who is watching with back spasm
Too pain😂😂😂
My back has been healing for over 6 weeks now, almost 2 months. and now its starting to spasm again. I hate this!! I just want to be well and painfree. I will try the massage gun bc at this point I will try anything.
