I needed to see this right now, I just got diagnosed by MRI two weeks ago with a herniated disc. I'm am tired of the pain and as such an active person and performer it is killing me being so still. It's good to know that I can overcome this. I needed some inspiration right now, thank you. I need to accept it first and move on an find a way to still do the things I love.

I can really understand the frustration, pain & disappointment everyone must be going through suffering from disc herniation bcoz I myself am suffering from it. Though completely disappointed right now, I just pray and wish for everyone that all of you get well soon and return back to your normal life asap. Touchwood🤞. Just take care of yourself as best as you can. Listen to your body and love yourself at all costs. It's okay to be upset sometimes but never give up. This too shall pass my friends. See it as if God is giving you time to pamper yourself. It's just a phase, just a test and all of you are such fighters💪💪 that you are gonna win this anyhow🤗. I can see that in comment section very well. May all of you be happy & healthy as before. Amen🙏🙏🙏

I have DDD (many worn out discs) and a very severe herniated disc (the disc burst and it is just flat cartilage now. My life changed. Many months of pain, I was not doing well at work and also with my wife things were getting worse: when you are always in pain and can't move well everything becomes a struggle. People don't understand what you go through. They think you just have a bit of back pain. No support. A physiotherapist saved me, but I saved myself because I began working out every day and avoiding dangerous exercises that same PTs kets saying I could do. I still have bad days, but I am doing fairly well. If you stop working out or you do the 'wrong' movements it is going to get much worse.

Thank you for this video! I needed this

What a kind man... Thank you.

thanks .I needed to hear this in my current situation.

Brilliant!

This gives me hope as I am undergoing physiotherapy. Though not a professional dancer, I am hoping I will be able to dance soon 😊

I’m 14 and Had surgery 4 months ago for this i think I must’ve got hurt during basketball maybe I didn’t stretch right I don’t know but I had pain like that too and on my buttocks, shooting pain down both legs couldn’t even stand up straight and I was like this for a month they figured it out once I got an MRI then I had surgery I’m just glad I can stand up and walk I haven’t tried jogging yet I’m gonna try it out though THE GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO PLAY BASKETBALL AGAIN WITHOUT FEELING PAIN AND ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE THROUGH CHRIST 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

😭💖 Thank you bro

I too as a dancer relate to this completely. Over the last 7 years of my dancing journey, I have jumped around from Latin, Bollywood, Hip Hop and then joining a professional team that I can call my family, yet my herniated disc has been putting me through the biggest challenge of my life for the past 3 years. Like he said, some days it is great...and some not so great. My faith in my body and mind has not allowed me to lose to this obstacle, and I look forward to the day I can gasp for air in a sweaty humid dance studio once again.

I am so glad I found this video I needed this inspiration. I have been lucky, I attend a top Performing Arts School in the UK and my back went whilst training, the physio looked after my back for the first 6 weeks and it wasn't getting any better. So I returned to my home town scared as I had to get treatment. My parents couldn't afford private treatment but my cousin paid for a consultation and I need an MRI scan and he suspects a Prolapsed disc. My mum set me up a fundraising page yesterday and I have 3 donations already. In the meantime, my grandparents are paying for my treatment and I am determined to pay them back. You may ask but you are at Performing Arts School which is normally private, but I have 2 full scholarships, 1 from my College for my fees and another from The Black Heart Foundation for exceptional talent which covers my accommodation. I cannot wait to get back to training, but I also have to be sensible to ensure I get the recovery I need to return.

I need this inspiration, I have a passion for dance and now my herniated disk is preventing me from dancing and it's sooo hard to accept i have to now put this off until I'm better, but my question is how do I heal, how long, will I heal, so many questions causes so much frustration. Thank you for giving me hope that I can and will get better.

Thank you, i'm just living the same disease right now.

Okay so like, what did he do? Not once was it mentioned... surgery? Chiro?

This gives me hope

What treatment sir u

What treatment you had?

Hello sir please respond how many months did you suffer for this sir?

Currently experiencing this I can’t get up or stand to walk

Im only half way but from as far as I can tell he's 100% correct at least in my eyes. Dance is forever, but you cannot control inthat downward spiral forever in pain however these aren't my symptoms so I think im safe to move from here. God bless yall!!❤

Suffering from a herniated disc and looking after the baby with crazy sharp pain since 6 months .. I can't even go anywhere without the help because whenever I carry the baby my back and leg pain get worse .. I want to run, I want to carry my baby , I want to hangout , I want to dance and I want to be free from those sharp pinching pains and lastly it's running my relationship ..

Okay. I'm here because I feel absolutely desperate and trapped in my body right now. I used to dance. A lot. I taught ballet, was in pointe shoes, taught jazz and modern, was performing, considering a certain school in New York.... Then one day one of my fellow dancers asked, "What's that sound, Heather?" during one of my grand plié's. A popping, snapping sound I'd grown accustomed to was apparently snapping hip syndrome and I was told to stop doing "turn out," which as you know, means an end to many forms of dance. I began running races, skating, doing martial arts, and... low impact dance anyway (contemporary) because I couldn't help myself. That was just the beginning of my lower body problems. FAST FORWARD twenty years and a sporting accident, and I have several herniated discs, lost the use of my right leg at one point then regained it, had surgery on my lower back, and died during the surgery. Obviously, the death didn't keep. I've gone through extensive physical therapy, I have moderate to severe arthritis, I'm allergic to steroids, I'm on a pain medication regimen, and all I can think about Gabriel - is dancing again. Once the numbness in my right leg (from my initial sporting accident - racquetball, of all things) went completely away, I thought I was in the clear. So I broke out the pointe shoes and was fine on the left - but my right leg gave out intermittently and the fire/ice/lightning threats began once more on the skin of my right leg and all through my right foot. I went back to physical therapy, did all of the core and gluteus and back strengthening exercises religiously, to the point that the physical therapist just shook his head and said, "You have more knots and ropes on your back than I have seen in thirty years, and you're more flexible and strong than anyone I've treated.... I think you should go back for another MRI because I don't know what to do for you now." MRI was just as damning as I knew it would be, which is how I know about the several herniated discs (not to mention huge uterine fibroids that are poking around at my spine). So I just want to know, I guess... what was it EXACTLY that Ohio State Sports Medicine did for you? I mean, what did they do that I haven't done? Do I even have a hope of dancing again?

Hello guys present im facing this problem it gives me hope

did he do surgery? and how is he lifting other dancers like that?

How did he overcome it??

I am a sports person and suddenly because of disc issue. I had to stop sports. Its has been a painful journey

When I was 16 years old (34 now) I was a dancer in highschool. I absolutely loved it. However I some how gave myself a herniated disc. Back then my doctor only recommended steroids or back surgery and my parents chose steroids I never received pt or any other option. I am left with a chronic back injury that most doctors I have spoke with say cannot be healed. This has crushed my hope and spirit. I still internally have a passion for dance but I don’t know what to do. I appreciate any advice from people who manage this. I have two herniated disc - L4/L5

ok ngl this made me really scared. I've had this for 6 months now and it's just not getting better

I wish you would have discussed what it was exactly and the therapy you were involved in! You just danced around that part pun intended! I’m in fkkng pain!!!

I got detected with hernia just right now and i, m a popper(popping dancer) wish me luck so that i can return back to dance.

I m glad to find this. After about 10+ years it recurred. Again. I was doing so excercise and did it in a wrong way. Just wanted to talk to someone m glad I came through this

My current chiropractor says he can cure my herniated disk with a 12 week program. My father is calling bs & saying chiropractors “can’t heal that”, & what I need is an orthopedic doctor. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

WTF everyone put motivational videos but no one mention what treatment they took . When you post such video of your struggle even post about the treatment and recovery in detail 🤷🏻‍♂️
