I've been taking this drug for over 2 years with 3 times per day of 300 mg with no pain relief from my lower back spine. This stuff is over-rated but I continue in hopes that someday I will discover the arrival of some pain relief. This pain has ruined my "golden years" and makes death something to look forward to....no more pain.
Thanks Doc, I was misdiagnosed in the army and now I deal with this issue every day. this was really informative for me and hopefully either through exercise or possible surgery. I appreciate you driving home the idea of looking at the full nerve chain analysis with the Double Crush Syndrome.

I started using a rowing machine at a local gym about five weeks ago as part of my doctor's recommendations to lose weight. I have noticed that I have started having increased coccyx area pain as I have increased my time and distance on the machine. I have been careful to keep my back straight and my form correct to maximize the benefits of the exercise. Other than the coccyx pain, I really enjoy this workout and it is definitively improving my overall health. I don't know if I can use a coccyx cushion while on the machine (I think it might be difficult to keep it in place while doing the exercise). Do you know if that would work? Or should I just try treating the pain when not exercising? Based upon the video, I am thinking the later may be the best solution, but if I could use a device while on the machine, I think it would perhaps eliminate the pressure that is causing the pain. Any recommendations are appreciated and thanks for making this video.
You could try these (though remember that if any exercise increases pain then don’t do that one): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TRtFxNza2Q.htmlsi=JqK3k_fyjhA7zUFZ

I was getting shots in my hips as I had pain down my legs. I bought an inversion table and haven’t had a shot. When my back or legs get sore, I just get on inversion table and rock to help my lymph nodes to drain. It’s been 15 years
Very helpful video. I've already had both injections and am looking at RFA in about 2 weeks but thanks for elaborating on those first two injections. I've received a summary of treatment and was a little puzzled why the drug used was different from one to the other but now I know!
Thank you for the video. PLEASE HELP ME! I've been dealing with sciatic pain for over four years now. It started basically around the time of the pandemic. Because I couldn't get proper treatment at the time, it kind of stayed with me and got worse. Now the recovery is very slow. I've tried everything except injection and surgery. The doctors say that it's a very mild case of disc slippage on my L5 and L4, and there is no way they're going to do surgery on me. I've tried acupuncture, physical therapy, medications, chiropractic lots of other things for YEARS, and everything works except only temporarily. The best thing that has worked for me has been progressive exercises. But the problem is the recovery phase is very slow. For example, I've been doing them non-stop for the past six months, and while I have seen improvements, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have these limitations for at least another six months or so. Limitations such as not being able to sit pain-free and not being able to sit for more than, let's say, 20 minutes at all. If I sit longer, then I'm gonna have to pay for it, and this is affecting my relationship. At this point I don't remember how being normal feels like any more. when the doctors see my MRI they treat me as if I'm normal and nothing is wrong with me and they don't take me seriously. one of the most even put me on antidepressant drugs saying that it might be mental but that didn't help either. Do you think if I take an injection now it would help?
Thank you. I've had left shoulder pain for 5 months. Left hand pain, tingling and numbness all down my left arm, palm and fingers for about 3-4 months, neck pain for the last month and now I alao have pain in my lower back. Shoulder ultrasound only showed calcific tendontis. Cervical MRI showed mild disc desiccation in all discs as well as early facet arthrosis at C6/7. Physio thinks its carpel tunnel syndrome but i think it's more than that and I'm in so much pain 😢
Thank you but actually I have had a long long-term severe problem with this in my thoracic spine from being an artist.. it is very tough because when you can't use your arms and hands without pain how do you get along? Lots of breaks, lots of things you can't do like everybody, periods of total disability not to mention the pain
No mention of B1 Benfotiamine?? You're missing a large epidemic. Read the research paper "Hiding in plain sight: Thiamine deficiency" by Dr Eric Longsdale. He has other research published, spent 60 years diving into that one area. He did many cases of mega dosing but included magnesium with it, since they're both required to work together
Thanks Doctor for advice of Gabapentin.Im feeling lazy,don't even want to wash few dishes, how I wish a pill of happiness and animosity.Im taking it for leg num bless and pain,I feel electricity,Gd.bless you and this channel ❤❤❤
You are giving patients with back pain a clear path to understanding the causes and treatments for it. I too was bluntly informed that I have degenerative disc DISEASE as though I was washed up in a hopeless downward spiral. The neurosurgeon gave me one option which was 3 or 4 segment lumbar spinal fusion. When I left his office, I wasn’t sure about what was causing my pain and when I read the radiologist MRI report, I was in shock. I spent weeks researching alternative treatments that I later learned were not the an option for me. The terminology in the MRI report was a foreign language and I spent hours and weeks studying it and making notes. During this time, I believed that the severity of my condition was about to seriously impair my quality of life. I’m a runner (for fitness not racing) and an amateur dressage horse rider and I’m 76 with a young person’s attitude. Your video confirms my research and my understanding of this complex medical subject. Thank you so much. You are the light at the end of the tunnel.
Excellent video, I learned quite a lot and it's going to save me possible surgery or even injections. I have had improvement with PT and will continue with that before even considering more invasive therapy. Liked and subscribed!!
