How to get from lying to standing with actue back pain | Tim Keeley | Physio REHAB 

Day 1. I was trimming some bushes in the backyard and felt a sharp twinge in my back and instantly went down. I crawled into my house through the living room back door, just barely inside, stayed between the back of the couch and the wall from 1 something p.m. till after 5 something p.m. Every adjustment, movement and reposition took forever to do, and some positions were very bad positions that I got stuck in and took forever to get unstuck. I dared to try to climb up the back of the couch to try to stand a couple of times to a horrible no avail. Later that night, made it around the couch to the front of the couch and spent the rest of the night in the floor. Heating pad, Icy Hot patches and back pain pills did not seem to have any effect whatsoever. Day 2. Spent most of the day in the floor but was able to get up with a walker chair on wheels meant for elderly people. Managed to get awkwardly slowly and painfully to the bathroom and didn't have to pee in a bottle anymore. Had a little bit more mobility in the floor to try to loosen up. Day 3. Very tired, still sore with no sleep lying on the floor with folded up blankets and pillows. From morning time until evening time, spent the day watching RU-vid videos on "getting up and down with lower back pain", or "getting in and out of bed with lower back pain", and targeted stretches to relieve lower back pain, from all different types of physical therapist RU-vid content creators. Finally able too slowly carefully cautiously timidly stand up and walk but still keeping the walker close by and still accidentally triggering sharp pains. Trying a lot of little things and taking a lot of breaths and rest in between gaining a little bit more mobility every hour. I was athletically active in my younger days. I was an infantry Marine in my twenties. I've always had a physically active but not physically breaking job. This is my first experience with true back pain and it was completely debilitating painful and torturous. Especially sneezing. I have made more strange breathing and grunting noises and growls and groans and sharp hissing sounds then I ever have before my entire life. I am glad these channels exist. Some things I would not have thought of and some things not to do I would have kept doing. Some things actually gave me measurable relief in a pretty short amount of time.

This is what am going through right now this shit is painful

My back isn't in spasm right now, but watching this gives me sympathy spams! Horrible to be prone and try to get back up while in that much pain! Thanks for the techniques!

Just getting on the elbows relieves so much pain.

It helped my mother to stood up. Thank you so much

This is the worst pain Ive ever experienced. Id rather give birth or get bit by a gator.

Just found a way to prevent back muscle spasm when standing up from a seated position. Simply place each palms on your laps as near as possible to your hips and press against the laps as you stand up. In this manner it somehow deactivate back muscles from firing and pulling to strongly which in turn helps reducing or even stopping pain during your healing period. Try this to see if it works for you.

Poor bugger, I go through exact same thing, worked out the same routine out of necessity it seems. My only variation is when I drive to stand up position using legs I focus on force going through heels or back half of foot rather than toes or ball as it's more controllable for me and weight/momentum doesnt over overshoot and then have to settle back which can trigger spasms and then I'm back on my back side if not the floor writhing in pain. Great vid Tim, you really know the details!

Hey Tim, i've been a quiet follower of your channel for years now and wanted to thank you for all the great videos, i've learned tons and tons of knowledge from you! If I may make a video suggestion, it would be awesome if you could do a video on how you examine different bodyparts (spine, knee, shoulder, etc...). Greetings from Vienna, Austria!

helped move a sofa upstairs that was a struggle. regret it. cant even walk now. have to brush teeth on my knees. that nerve is letting me know it aint allowing me to do shit

This is a good one Tim. Good I managed to click on this. I immediately stand up and start walking and the pain is unbearable sometimes.

in addition to back problems, your deep thigh/hip adductors can stiffen and prevent you from standing up straight. its your thighs, not your back that is causing you to be bend over when you walk.

Very helpful Thank you. I have sharp pain in the Lower back and i have a long flight ahead of me.

Excellent video very clearly demonstrated. I sympathize with your patient there as I am in the same boat. I can see him grimace through some pain. Its been 2 years I write this, is he doing better? At night my back goes into hell spasm giving pain level of 9/10 and the other night I was thinking I would have to crawl to the bathroom while biting a small rolled up towel. I succumbed and used 400mg ibuprofen which works really well for me but I dont like it as im aware of the risks of NSAID. Getting out of bed is a hell for me but after seeing this video I have great knowledge on what to do. Specially the core bit. its the getting up on elbow and hauling to the upright that im scared off most. Thanks again and I subbed!!

Thank you so much

Thanks this video is important

Well, at least this person can move. I could barely move without it spasming so bad.

Currently having back spasm from injury training legs. The further issue is that I can get up because i have no strength in my legs or glutes because of the heavy squatting at the gym. Looks like it's going to be a few days on the sofa peeing in a bucket. trying painkillers and muscle relaxants to get me moving

Very helpful

3rd day after hurting my back I can’t stand up at all when I try to stand it feels like when I hurt it

Well, I can’t barely move. The pain hurts a lot just to move and I’m sitting on the couch but I need to get up. I had an ice pack on my back for 2 1/2 hours and I want to get up but I can’t because it’s spasms too much.😢😢😢

Does this work for pinched sciatic pain?

What is the recover time for L4 L5 sir ?
