I have a small lump in my back just beside my spine. Its been there since 1990 didnt grow big,its hard and not painful unless you press it. Is it benign or what?
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.
I am using Calopad instead of Hyperice Venom Go. It's a medical product from Europe, Swissmade I think and the most advanced deep heath therapy device against certified uses cases such as backpain, neckpain and so on!
The front seems taller than the back of the cushion. Does it let you easily keep thighs parallel to ground or does it bring knees higher than hip sockets?
Should you keep your face looking up as you do the air squat? I find looking down makes me lean forward and throws off my balance. The goblet squat looks better. Love the dead lift hinge that helps the hips.
Yes you can, just make sure to use proper form and take it slowly. If you feel any discomfort while performing the exercise stop and avoid that exercise for the day.
I have L4 and L5 and 64 yrs old, my pain is manageable due to few stretching that I learned from the Spine care Decompression and Chiropractic Clinic and I’ll try this one and hope it’ll me more to go back to my normal way of living.
It's not an ad its a treatment that provides fast pain relief for this condition. I would look up a provider in your area that has this service because it can be an affordable treatment option.
If you do not feel comfortable on the ground you can start the exercises in a standing position. Whatever position you feel most comfortable in. I would also say if you unable to get onto the ground to start, you definitely need these exercises in case you ever find yourself on the ground. What happens if you fall down, you need to have the strength and the mobility to get back on your feet.

Would the radial or focus works to repair tissues on knee joint when your bone on bone already and your doctor recommend a knee surgery to fix the problem?
Focused shockwave is what I used to treat knee arthritis in practice. Focused allows you treat over the boney structures and the tendons around the knee.
My husband has a large size ball under his neck. He said he had it drained one time & it was some shiny silvery that came out in the basin. The next day after having it drained the big ball came right back underneath his neck. That was in the 1990’s. He also has a huge soft spongy long area on the back of his neck that occasionally drains putrid whitish cottage cheese consistency on it’s own when it gets too big. My husband is a smoker & elderly & refuses to have them removed. I’m afraid one day he will just drop if the neck lump should burst.
I am Japanese.One thing I have noticed was,maybe because of the life style, one of the common problems people in Western world have got is their ankles are very stiff which inevitably restrict how much they can bend their knees ( ie squats become less effective).So, this wonderful video will become even better if people can learn how to make ankles 'softer'and more flexible. That will also make walking easier and faster.
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!
I’m not sure how they can prove it has 42g of protein. But this goes for any protein drink. How can you trust that muscle milk has 40g of protein? I’m sure companies have a way to measure it and support their claims or else it would be false advertising and they would be sued.
@@drtoddsullivan thank you. I wondered the same but muscle milk at least tastes like it has 40g protein 😂 plus i believe it lists the added proteins in the ingredients.

Is a spinal epidural lipomatosis of the spinal cord basically the same type of lipoma that can grow on other parts of the body? Also is an MRI accurate in differentiating between a lipoma vs a tumor or cancerous growth?
It’s similar but it is a bigger problem because it can impact the nerves and spinal cord affecting the function of the nervous system. MRI and biopsy are used to differentiate cancer vs benign tumor or cyst.
@@drtoddsullivan Thank you for the information. I am researching my new diagnosis and trying to educate myself. Lumbar stenosis and bulging disc. It was strange seeing the SEL and stenosis on my MRI and it is causing me symptoms affecting nerves and mobility.
How is the foam? I need a cushion for my desk chair. I don’t have any medical need for it. I just need a good cushion that can support my weight (~215Lbs) when I’m working without it becoming a flat foam pancake.
I've owned so many massage guns over the years. Biggest problem I find is it's longevity and quietness. When you first get them they're whisper quiet. After months of use they start sounding like the city bus. Then soon after they konk out.
Thanks a great point. I have seen that happen to several brands. I have not seen that happen with the hypervolt or the bob and brad massage guns and I use them all day long in my practice.
