Oh man. So good to read all these comments and feel like I’m not alone. I’m in my early 40s and been hitting the gym hard. I’m in the best shape of my life and then I checked the mailbox and bam. Felt like a lightning bolt went through my lower back. Now I’m shuffling around the house like a 90 year old. 😢
It happens to all of us even chiropractors. 90% of the population will experience back pain at some point. How and what you do will determine how quick you recover. Staying fit and having a strong core will help prevent episodes.
@@NorthPhilly_Bul that sounds horrible, my back usually starts feeling better after a day or so, not 3+ days 😯. I think the worst one was when I stood up weird and hurt my back, so I had to drag myself up a whole staircase because nobody would help me and I couldn’t stand up without excruciating pain. That one stayed for a while. It sucks so bad, why do our bodies do this to us 😔.
Was just walking up the stairs and my Lower back went , this sucks so bad On and off for 2 years I just wanna play basketball every day again Let’s hope for a speedy recovery
My back was only slightly thrown out after a gym workout and i was moving around doing my daily responsibilities fine until i made the bad decision to go to get a massage and asked her to walk all over my lower back for a strong deeply tissue massage. BIG MISTAKE! It traumatized my back more and my back locked up badly, i almost couldn’t move i was worried i would have to go to the hospital. It took me at least 20 minutes walking back n forth and moving around as much as i could so i could move at all and get in my car and drive home. Im in a lot of pain now, its been getting better throughout the night. Hard to sleep every Position hurts. Im trying the routine now from this video. I wish so much i didn’t get that massage, lesson to all be careful if you think a massage will help in certain situations. Oh my lord!
Threw mine out on the right side twice about month ago and was having what felt like sciatica all the way down to the right shin. No pain for the past two days so hoping the nerves/discs are healing
I never thought i would say I threw my back out cleaning my apartment 😭 Just like you said, I picked up something that didn’t seem so heavy and as my body was angling to a straight position, I felt a shock of pain in my lower back. Then I had even more pain walking or anything that had to deal with bending even at the slightest. Thank you for you advice. I was in a panick
Please don’t listen to this man, what he’s saying will have that pain away in a week or two, and your back to doing projects for your wife, stay safe out there fellas!
They actually proved using ice on an injury dose my damage that good and actually slows the healing process…instead it’s suggested to do movements not enough to continue injuring the areas and or massaging the area
I'm sorry to hear that I hope you recovery quickly. Try icing the painful spot for 10-20 mins and then take off the ice for an hour and reapply it for another 20 mins.

Same here
I threw my back out trying to put pants on and I’m regretting my life choices 😭
I hope your back feels better, it’s so frustrating when this happens.
Bro…. I was putting on my left shoe… but bright my foot up to my hand… sharp pain, fell down…. Last three days were madness

Great explanation! After watching a dozen other videos this was the most to the point with all the tips you need 👍🏼

Thank you so much for this video. Grabbed a towel from my dryer and it was all over… I’m using these stretches now. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
The lying down, feet on chair part really helped a lot. Also gonna try the pillow trick. Thanks for the video
You’re welcome. Definitely give it a try.

You’re welcome I’m glad the video helped
Screwed up my back lifting a 20lb kettleball. I had a spasm in the same place for 9 months.
I literally went to get up off my couch and boom. Cant move. Now im here wondering if i need to call 911

Good point…you just need a doctors note for no yard work.
How about upper back pain/spasms. Thank you!
Standing up to put on my socks. Threw back out. Now I know how to stretch it out and sleep tonight! Thanks!!
I hope you have a quick recovery.
Thanks for the tips Doc. 👍🏼
Any time!
What are some stretches or suggestions that can prevent the build-up of irritation in the nerves?
Thank you for this video it has been very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this!!
How come every video has over 10 seconds of ads before I can see what you have to say?
UA-cam puts ads on the videos. If you upgrade to the paid version of UA-cam you will not see any ads.

Ive tried ice and Advil and neither has helped.
Can't walk to get ice😂😂
Best of luck! It will get better.
I can't move I'm on my knees leaning my belly and chest onto my couch idk what to do. If I move I'm in extreme pain.
Start by taking slow deep breaths and then slowly turn over onto your back and try to elevate your legs on the couch to relax the back.
Thank you! 💁🏾♀️✌🏾🕯️❤️🇬🇧
You’re welcome
@@drtoddsullivan No Thank you! (Currently on the floor doing the exercises with my ice pack!) ✌🏾
I can't get into any of these positions because I can't move
I'm sorry to hear that I hope you recovery quickly. Try icing the painful spot for 10-20 mins and then take off the ice for an hour and reapply it for another 20 mins.
I threw mine out, just taking one step down my stairs 😢
I hope you recover quickly.
I'm thankful I can walk around some.
@@drtoddsullivanty 😊
@@drtoddsullivan Thank you :)
Thank you
You’re welcome
I could help you.
But not long distance.
Did ted lasso think he'd fool us wth a beard?
I’m going to shave my beard but keep the mustache and go as Ted Lasso for Halloween this year.
i threw a frisbee to my kids 1 time and the game was over what is this life 😂
You know you are getting older when…
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
The girl was losing clothes by the end of this video 🤔
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
What you do is you don't walk for about a week and wish you were dead.
The pain with this condition can be unbearable.
Thank you for this video!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you!
