Disc bulges and herniations are one of the worst things and can bring a grown man to tears. Not even because of the pain as such. Mainly because you realise how screwed you are with a bad bad. It restricts you to the point of extreme vulnerability. I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy and it makes severe tooth ache feel like a breeze.
ahaha i’m glad i’m not the only one. have felt pathetic to say the least these last two months. only 22 with two herniated and can barely walk. hope you heal soon

Recovering from L5S1, 2 months of PT and 3 months of non stop daily home exercises for lower back strenghtening. After 3 years of chronic pain in the back, finally feeling 90% good
Hello, I’ve been dealing with the exact same L5S1 pain for over 1 and a half years now. I have been doing pt for a while and nothing seems to help. May I ask what you did to help your disk bulge during those 3 months ?
@@christiankleinekorte3929 I'm not op, but I'm in a similar boat. Been dealing with S5L1 bulge since a year and 3 months and things went from a twinge to hell to mild pain now. First, do not sit down. Either stand or lie down. Depending on your job, this may be hard to do but it is possibly the most effective thing you can do. Next, work with a physiotherapist. Ideally someone who knows about McGill as well as McKenzie. I did a lot of self help that made things worse because I was doing too many things too fast. Going to a physiotherapist helped slow me down and also calm my anxiety because all I had to do was follow orders. You'll get through this. Don't lose hope and stay calm.
@@christiankleinekorte3929 I wouldn't act as a doctor but I do some lying on belly exercises under 10 minutes for strenghtening the lower back with no pause daily. Also don't put legs on the table, pay attention to your posture during entire day, especially sleep since you do that for 8 hours daily. It's mostly about strenghtening abs and legs to cure the lower back pain. Still doing legs and abs every second day. Make sure ab exercises are not making back pain worse. ALso you need to properly squat when reaching something, never bending your back in inappropriate position.. You should talk to a specialist instead of listening my advice cuz everyone is different tho,.
@@ChasmChaos thank you for the advice. I’m 16 dealing with this pain which in my case frustrates me as I want to do highschool sports but very limited in what I can do.

What's your take on central sensitization, will? I hadn't heard that term before, but I'm aware of neuroplastic pain. My pain is triggered when I seat and I'm stressed, so I don't think my bulging disc is the cause of my pain, I pass McGill's test, and I don't feel pain working out either
@@mateusaugusto1812 its a massive factor and has effected my back pain very strongly, ever since I started researching pain science it helped my pain get better just through my mind,
@Beaste Meauxde I'm no expert, I've been reading things here and there. It all started through the book "The way out" though. It's worth checking out 👍
I've been dealing with this for 2 years. I tried the pull technique and rounding my back but it doesn't trigger pain. However, I still suffer from the sciatic pain when I walk, go up stairs, run, sitting for extended periods, even just adjusting my posture to a straighter position will agitate the pain. In the beginning it was very bad that I couldn't bend over and needed assistance and whatnot. However I'm at this weird point where it's not as bad as before, I can do stuff, but the pain is always still there.
Strengthen your back, i’ve heard of people with the chronic pain from herniation and it only started to really feel great after they strengthen the muscles stabilizing the spine. Things like hyperextensions and pullups, listen to your body to avoid flareups, if it feels wrong then stop.
@@anuragsingh-rw6px surgery may be your only option. As an update, I got a Laminectomy done on the L4/L5 vertebrae. Still on the road of recovery and can certainly say it helped immensely. Pain before was 8/10. Now it's 1.5/10. Most days I actually feel normal and after some busy days I'll feel it a little. But the surgery was well worth it
My disc bulge actually did happen overnight. I went to sleep having never felt any symptoms. Woke up barely able to walk. I'm sure the damage was building up internally and finally burst somehow in my sleep, but i'll never know for sure, sometimes i wonder if i was abducted by aliens lol.
I climbed a 7ft. fence & jumped down & I think the impact messed me up. A day or two later I woke up & could barely get out of bed. Thought I had slept wrong 😑
I feel your pain bro i feel asleep on my girlfriend on this plane ride to miami and the way i was positioned definitely did damage. When i got off the plane i could barely walk without looking goofy with my hand on my back😭 icey hot saved me that weekend but i still deal with it until this day, a year later.
Same here. Please, please tell me what your problem was. I can't even get to my car to go to a hospital. If there's something that can relieve my pain please tell me.
@@reginaldhuckstable9797 is your pain at the lower back just on the top back of the pelvis, on the left or right side ? Does it constantly ache in certain movements/poses/postures such as on the toilet ?
@@reginaldhuckstable9797I’ve had pain for over 2 years now and every doctor said it was sciatica after an xray and sent me to PT. After a while I convinced my new doctor to let me go for an MRI since PT isn’t working and that’s when I found out I have a L5 S1 disc bulge, which can cause sciatic pain. So yes definitely get an MRI.
Can you please do a video with the other way sitting straight up and it hurts. Idk what could cause this tightness only on my left side just to the left of my spine in my mid low-back
When comes to spine you seem to deviate from your usual methods. Instead of strengthening the movement, or surrounding muscles you advocate to avoid this type of movements. What happens when I don't remember to pick something up like this ? Shouldn't our spines be ready to bend in this types of positions ?
When you don't remember to not load your bent spine, the collagen fibers around the disc take a bit more beating. Over time, it adds up. You cannot strengthen this anatomy any more than you can become bullet proof by shooting yourself with small caliber bullets over time. That's really how it is. The human body sucks and has many shortcomings. This is one of those.
@@ChasmChaos You can pay to have papers published, and there are plenty of low-quality papers. Especially in this field. The point is that video's like this one contribute to a society-wide fear of certain movements (like loaded spinal flexion). It promotes the idea that if you have pain, it's usually because you moved "incorrectly" which is over simplified at best, but probably just plain wrong. Pain is complicated, does not always come from injury, and often gets worse when we are hyperaware of it, and needlessly worried by it.
Country to belief a bulging disc needs attention it cannot be pushed back into position. Physio may help with referred pain as a consequence of this. I went on a residential pain management course, similar to the Mayo plus Walton pm Clinic.
The chair thing could also just be painful cause of a tweaked low back. I feel like most back pain whether or not its caused by a disc bulge would hurt if you did that
@@Boutros6 I perform them like a hinge I move myself by pushing my hips in the bad and naturally I find my range of motion to be about half way to the ground not that far down
or disc bulges are normal, many are asymptomatic and happen independently of "poor" technique or posture whatever that means, and pain is much more complicated and multifactorial than just some structural changes in your body.
I had 2 herniated discs in the l4-l5 area last scan I did was a year ago. I'm a rugby player and leg strength is very important for me but everytime I start doing squats or especially deadlifts/rdls I get pain. I have been doing core all year but my lower back just doesn't feel like it's getting more stable.
My xray says I have a disc bulge, I was in pain for a while but I just gave heavy lifting of backpacks with laptop a rest and tried bending and standing up in a different way (sideways) eventually it went away after a few days but I think my pelvic floor was affected and it comes back from time to time...
My mri shows disc bulges but I don't get pain when doing that test (I have back mechanic and did all of the tests in the book). That means it's not an active disc bulge? I do have pain though, just not in any of the tests and I ranges from no pain (I usually start my days pain free) to pain back to no pain unless I do something that hurts my back like pilates.
What does it mean if you bend your back over in the seated position pull up and it does not hurt either I have bad back pain sciatica nerve pain going down my left leg for my back injury at work by lifting in a poor technique and it's been nearly 3 weeks now it's killing me!?
Always bend at the knees when picking something up. Avoid sitting in super cushy chairs or couches, they are terrible for lower back support. Walk daily. Improve core strength and your glute strength. It’s true about the pain. It can be so bad it will bring a grown man down.
What if having to press the clutch gives you lower back oain and causes numbness in the leg after a while and it takes a couple of hours for the pain and numbness to go away?
They need to protect him with ballistic glass . When in view of public . Like hey have done for other high profile canidates . They can protect people in war zones but not here
I don’t have worsening or pain even when I’m around my back and pool and I see the position but I have parastesia down my leg and I do have a positive small disc bulge on my MRI It’s been going on for over nine months now and it comes and goes throughout the day I can’t figure out how to get it to heal
@DJP Oh yeah, no doubt. Ben Patrick is one big advocate of J. Curls for back pain. I've heard both sides' arguments, and I tend to agree with Aaron's input better. But hey, whatever works better for one, right?!
@jumbo I recommend you to watch Ben Patrick's videos . Rehab work doesn't require you to train close to failure . You say that you have a severe herniated disc, yet you treated your rehab work as hypertrophic work and probably didn't work through the regressions of the exercise, slowly , without discomfort/pain. You shouldn't push to ranges of motion that you are not prepared, as you mentioned, sometimes that was the cause of the injury. Take your time instead, and gradually you will be able to achieve more. Ben Patrick's knee injury recovery and crazy improvement, and so many viewers similar stories give a pretty good case to this methodology.
@jumbo dang bro sad to hear. I got a bulging disc and im struggling with it for about 10 months now. It's gotten worse and worse, im doing now mckenzie therapy cuz i heard great results from people who got bulging disc and herniated disc maybe u could try it and see if it works for u.
Info's good but the title in click bait. Once a disk bulges there's no fixing it, rather avoiding to make it worse, which unfortunately most times means no more squats
you can do squats just probably not with weights. I have two disc bulges and the spine doctor said to focus on core exercises, especially squats and roman chair. You have to have perfect posture though.
@@Andrew-cm5tc right, and the focus on the form's perfection needs to increase as weight is added, otherwise the risk of following a Ronnie Coleman kind of path is quite possible
Honestly, I think it’s just not worth the risk. I’ve thrown my back out more times than I remember. Last time was either october or early november and it still hurts and feels like life will never be the same. Back problems are a downward spiral like you mentioned. Quality of life is what’s most important. If you want to go to the gym then you can still go but you’ll have to make some changes before back pain cripples you. Don’t try to tough it out and push through the back pain. Listen to your body.
@@Andrew-cm5tcNo. i had a herniated disk and it was healed in 2 years. Went back to the gym and within 6 weeks it got herniated again. I will never do squats again. There’s so many other exercises and people just want a nice body
@@jd0879 I do squats with no weights and perfect form as part of my physical therapy routine. I've seen lots of people comment on the internet that they messed up their back from either squats with heavy weights or deadlifts. Ronnie Coleman was a famous body builder and it back is totally jacked up and has had multiple surgeries. I agree that it's not worth the risk. Swimming is probably the best exercise in my opinion. I've also heard it can take as long as 2 years for symptoms to go away. I've messed up my back lots of times before but this time is by far the worst. This november will be one year since I had my MRI and the sciatica is just now starting to calm down (fingers crossed). I still have sciatica but it hasn't kept me up at night lately. It took me six months just to sit. I'm hoping it continues to get better over the next year. I never want to be in this state again. I've had to give up a lot but nothing is worth being in that much pain again.
I got 5 bulged disc's from 1 event, I was carrying a TV for my brother and his wife and kids when they moved.... I got hospitalized a few days later and she decided to not pay me so I got hurt for nothing. SMFH
I have only had one big symptom from a disc problem and that is very little numbness down one of my legs,I also barely have more pain when bending over, anyone got any ideas what's happening to me?
The reason I know something might be happening to my back is bc of the fact that I have had 2 other major injuries to my back before, and I just recently returned to lifting heavy and I fear that I went for the bigger weights to quick and might have injured my disc,does this sound possible?
Guess i was picking up my babies the "wrong way" ... Now my back is paying for all those years. 😭 Never even thought about it till now that it hurts. 🤕

You shouldn't push to ranges of motion that you are not prepared, as you mentioned, sometimes that was the cause of the injury. Take your time instead, and gradually you will be able to achieve more. Ben Patrick's knee injury recovery and crazy improvement, and so many viewers similar stories give a pretty good case to this methodology.
@jumbo dang bro sad to hear. I got a bulging disc and im struggling with it for about 10 months now. It's gotten worse and worse, im doing now mckenzie therapy cuz i heard great results from people who got bulging disc and herniated disc maybe u could try it and see if it works for u.
Doc I have a injury in my back my L4 L5 disc blugde in want to fix it my exercises can you please help me
What if the back pain is sparked also in the non rounded position?
Does traction work good for disk bulges?
This just sounds like ways to move while having one. I didn't really see any mention of "how to fix a disc bulge"
Info's good but the title in click bait. Once a disk bulges there's no fixing it, rather avoiding to make it worse, which unfortunately most times means no more squats
you can do squats just probably not with weights. I have two disc bulges and the spine doctor said to focus on core exercises, especially squats and roman chair. You have to have perfect posture though.
@@Andrew-cm5tc right, and the focus on the form's perfection needs to increase as weight is added, otherwise the risk of following a Ronnie Coleman kind of path is quite possible
Honestly, I think it’s just not worth the risk. I’ve thrown my back out more times than I remember. Last time was either october or early november and it still hurts and feels like life will never be the same. Back problems are a downward spiral like you mentioned. Quality of life is what’s most important. If you want to go to the gym then you can still go but you’ll have to make some changes before back pain cripples you. Don’t try to tough it out and push through the back pain. Listen to your body.
@@Andrew-cm5tcNo. i had a herniated disk and it was healed in 2 years. Went back to the gym and within 6 weeks it got herniated again. I will never do squats again. There’s so many other exercises and people just want a nice body
@@jd0879 I do squats with no weights and perfect form as part of my physical therapy routine. I've seen lots of people comment on the internet that they messed up their back from either squats with heavy weights or deadlifts. Ronnie Coleman was a famous body builder and it back is totally jacked up and has had multiple surgeries. I agree that it's not worth the risk. Swimming is probably the best exercise in my opinion. I've also heard it can take as long as 2 years for symptoms to go away. I've messed up my back lots of times before but this time is by far the worst. This november will be one year since I had my MRI and the sciatica is just now starting to calm down (fingers crossed). I still have sciatica but it hasn't kept me up at night lately. It took me six months just to sit. I'm hoping it continues to get better over the next year. I never want to be in this state again. I've had to give up a lot but nothing is worth being in that much pain again.
If that macafee revelation comes true . Then we know .
Can you help me? I have foraminal stenosis on l4 l5 ,l5s1 which exercise is good for me?
She is Mira Bai chanu from India🤗
That's great an all. But what if it's in your neck... I wanna get back into my fitness lifestyle man
What to do if it is impossible to even bend forward because of the pain created?
Get more tests to see if is a disc in itself.Good luck.
Bro I can't even stay in the neutral position nor the second one. The second one is the worst
Hello, I lifted a large heavy snow ball and now I feel pain in my disc will it be OK I'm 13 btw
I got 5 bulged disc's from 1 event, I was carrying a TV for my brother and his wife and kids when they moved.... I got hospitalized a few days later and she decided to not pay me so I got hurt for nothing. SMFH
Jesus how long ago was that? How have you recovered
Sue them
I'm afraid I will develop anterior pelvic tilt if I do this
How does this relate to title of video?
Tx
Thankfully Im tall so I always gotta bend my knees 😂😂
This Dr. McGill must be some kind of god or messiah.
Dr McGill designed the pain scale, plus many academic papers.
That first claim about the “cause” of disc herniations is not supported by evidence.
What if both positions are unbearable
My back hurts on both bending positions
imagine if the spinal cord and nerves were just placed 1 inch further away. gg god
I got a disc bulge from my parents message chair
6 years pain
Does it go down either leg, worse on coughing or sneezing. Check out Dr Forrest Tennant PM free pdf. Good luck pain 32 years..
This server in case of herniatic disc?My mother have it, maybe I could teach she this exercises.
What i learned from these vids is to never workout. Stay safe kids
this doesnt fix it, only avoids aggravating it.
What if it hurts when I’m sitting straight
Where is the video about how to fix it?
I have only had one big symptom from a disc problem and that is very little numbness down one of my legs,I also barely have more pain when bending over, anyone got any ideas what's happening to me?
The reason I know something might be happening to my back is bc of the fact that I have had 2 other major injuries to my back before, and I just recently returned to lifting heavy and I fear that I went for the bigger weights to quick and might have injured my disc,does this sound possible?
My previous injury wasn't a disc injury btw
How about uneven back
Guess i was picking up my babies the "wrong way" ... Now my back is paying for all those years. 😭 Never even thought about it till now that it hurts. 🤕
Nah, mine was a plate too far during a deadlift back when I was 16
