Should pain (like tenderness to the touch) in the spine itself be concerning? I have had back issues for years, had a central herniated disc the was pressing into my spinal cord, as well as the facet joints at that level and the next level up were degenerating. I had surgery 3 years ago to remove the herniation and some bone to help open things back up. They said it will likely continue to degenerate though and will likely need fusion some time down the road. However I have recently had pain at the area of the spine at the same location as I had the surgery 3 years ago. Hurts to touch that area, as well as when I sit like in a car and the seat touches that spot. Should pain at the spine itself like that be concerning? Is that something I should contact my Ortho doc for?
Im at my wits end! I had some epidural steroid shots l4 l5 l5 s1 a couple of weeks ago on my right side. Went in with pain about a 6 1/2 and instantly had relief and pain level was a 1 1/2. By the end of the day it leveld at a 3. The next day i went to my scheduled therapy and by the time i was done the pain was at a high six. Forward to a week later and i had the same injections but on my left side. Instantly it went from a five to a 10! It has been a week and every day i have had new pain on top of it all. The injections were to see if i have relief so we can do and ablation. It worked for my right side but made it 100 percent worse on my left. I had a fusion 5 years agi and am willing to try anything to not go thru that again. I have 2 bulging discs and spondylitis and spondalosis so these exercises are not what i can do for relief. So my question i guess is is there anything I can do that will help my situation. The pain is unbearable and im so ober it
So sorry to hear about your pain…I also have a laundry list of issues with L4/L5/S1, including spondylolithesis, disc unroofing & Modic type 1 changes to end plates. My PT did some dry needling & it usually gives me a day or 2 of pain relief. I also use a TENS unit at home. My DIL says magnesium cream can help you relax at night, I haven’t tried it yet, but plan to. My pain is worse when sitting & laying down, so relaxation hard to come by. I hope you can find some relief!
I had severe back pain with a herniated disk, meds only helped so much. I started an Anti inflammatory diet, took additional turmeric, ginger, garlic, arnica and boswellia supplements. After a week, it started helping a lot. Then I started taking a natural gaba supplement and it helped tremendously. There are some weird possible side effects with gaba definitely read up on it before taking it but thats what helped me. Also swimming helped me to recover to be physically be able to walk again. It took over a year but it worked.😅 Wishing you a speedy recovery.
So sorry to hear this. Unfortunately we cannot answer any individual medical questions without a proper examination. We would, however, suggest you stay away from anything and everything that makes your pain worse or new.
When symptomatic with sciatica or pain/ numbness down the leg most often sitting is the wrong thing to do. Intradiscal pressure is actually higher sitting than standing. Best to lower disc pressure with a herniated disk by reclining. So when symptoms occur recline until the pressure is off the nerve root and the leg symptoms subside. A herniated disc does not generate pain but irritation to a nearby nerve does. The nerve will actually swell with irritation making the problem a cycle.
I never knew the "golfers lift" had a name to it! I used to get laughed at about my "ballet bend" 😂 Also, if I have to get low, I put a straight leg out to the side because lunging straight is difficult for me to pull out of.
What should I do if I’m in acute pain? I have disc bulging from L3-S1, foramenal stenosis on both sides of pelvis, hip flexors so locked they spasm constantly. Just moved, fell, busted my knee w/a back twist and separated a rib. I cannot get out of pain. Only way I can move is back brace right now. 😢

HELP ME 😢😢 FOR 1 Yr iv not been able to go on tiptoe at all on my right foot. Includes swollen achilles tendon 😢. A Yr ago while dancing at a gig I felt like a massive kick from behind?? Does this mean it's totally snapped or partially torn please? When I walk its painful.
These are so great! Thank you! I’ve learned over the last few years of dealing with osteoarthritis that it’s the little things that I do every day that have the greatest positive impact on reducing pain.
Why is it I have spondylolisthesis, but I can do the cobra pose and also do it standing. I can’t do it as far as I used to as in full extension, but I can come up fully on my forearm with no problem or with my hands on the ground lined up with my shoulders, I can push at least halfway off and I get no pain.
I love your videos. I have been diagnosed with spondylolisthesis and bilateral foraminal stenosis like you, but I didn’t discover it until I also herniated a disc in the same area. It was doing back extensions that was the final straw - ended up with sciatica down to my toes! I still cannot figure out what stretches are safe for me to do. My pain switches between sharp pain radiating deep into my buttock by the afternoon and stiff, sore and centralised pain in my lower back in the morning. Im so tired of being in pain
