Suffered an L5 S1 disc bulge over 14 months ago , the pain severe could barely walk for 7 months, started to improve slightly after 10 months , then had a Nerve root block injection , now can walk and am pain free . This condition is agony. Good video , greetings from London UK 🇬🇧

@JALEX08

This is so painful i rather give birth or have a tooth pain😢😩

Fell at work. Have had back surgery on L4 and L5. Foot felt like it was burning so bad I actually cried. Getting ready for another soon L5 and S1. I wouldn’t wish this nerve pain on my worst enemy. Pain pills just take the edge off. Surgery soon. Godspeed.

Im 38 and suffer with bad low back pain and sciatica. Also have spinal stenosis & ddd. Also got herniated discs. Wish i could find a doctor that understood how painful this gets at times!!!

Exactly! Thank you. Mine was an injury related matter but now I understand, but where does all this weakening come from?

@conormcqregor4393

I don’t know how much longer I can take this

Will you describe the pain pattern perfectly well! I have been experiencing horrendous issues with a bulging disc for almost a year (we won't go into the issues) but until I was able to locate a chiropractor that focused on the spine was I able to see some relief! I also had pain that went down the right side specifically the outside of the right leg not as a nerve-shooting pain but a hurtful aching pain. I'm 68 and a very active person - working, fitness, gardening, and long-distance walking to name a few. The spastic nerve pain was awful - now understanding (by watching all your bulging disc issues and my dr.) the do's and don'ts around a bulging disc am I able to move forward. I'm not completely pain-free -- looking I think at another 3 weeks of healing, I'm in better alignment and executing the right movements to reduce the pain and keep it away. And, I'm working on the right core exercises plus leg & arm works to keep me fit. Love all your instructions - they are thorough, and insightful and you answer most of my questions as you go along! I can't thank you enough..... TY!! 💪💪

I would be interested to know what the difference between L5/S1 facet pain versus L5 or S1 individual root nerve pain is, or is facet pain what causes the combination??

@oknupa

Thank you for the excellent explanation! 34 years old and I herniated my L5 S1 disc 5 days ago. I saw a doctor who explained my situation well but your explanation provided great context!

Just had revision fusion L4L5 and now I have the exact pain locations you described and believe my L5S1 is the issue. My surgeon didn't want to fuse it but now I wish he had. Could not sleep for 4 days until I asked for a Medrol Steroid pack and it knocked out the inflammation but hoping it stays away.

On day 12 of this horrible pain. Bulging disc in L5/s1 sciatica. Took xray and noticed my right hip is lower than my left. Working on my glutes and core and it’s starting to get better. Hip thrusts and stretches are the best thing to people. Stay away from shots, surgery, pills, or you will be going down a long road of pain. This problem can be fixed on your own with proper diet, exercise, stretching, physical therapy. I’m still in a lot of pain but it’s not debilitating now. Mornings are the worst, but you have to push through the pain. Remember, the mind is not the body. You can magnify this pain believe it or not. Quit saying you can’t get out of bed, start researching videos on KZfaq and how to get out of bed with sciatica. Flexing your core and glutes as hard as you can then use your arms to lift up helped me. Standing will be most painful but squatting to the floor and stretching out helps it subside enough to do floor stretching. Then walking through the extreme pain subsides in the morning to where it loosens up and the pain is manageable.

For my brothers and sisters out there who are suffering with back pain don’t give up. Keep working at it and things will improve for you.

Hello from Romania! I did an MRI and the diagnoses are these: Posterior disc protrusion at the L5-S1 level, ACCENTUATED AT THE PRE- AND INTRA-FORAMINAL LEVEL ON THE LEFT SIDE, NARROWING THE CONJUGATION OPENING AND CAUSING RADICULAR CONFLICT WITH THE S1 ROOT EMERGING FROM THE BILATERAL DURAL SAC, MORE PROMINENT ON THE LEFT SIDE. In conclusion, it is noted: Posterior disc protrusions at the L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 levels.

Will, I only just discovered your channel today, and I think it is is Godsend! It's as though you met me and decided to do videos on all of my problems. I will be 70 in December, and I am suffering from horrendous sciatica, bad balance, all sorts of issues you address in your videos. I am already a big fan! Thank you.

I was misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia and have been struggling with pains down my legs for years! Went to see a Chiropractor and she told me it’s my L5 nerve irritated! I’m currently receiving therapy with her to help it and it’s working! Best thing I ever did 🥰🤞🏼
