Jet I struggled with Sciatica and it was the worst pain of my life. I really recommend reading the book "Back Mechanic" by Stuart McGill and watching his interviews on youtube. It changed my life without surgery and I have no pain at all
Jet when it comes to sciatica take it serious, I know seems like nothing too major but the more it goes untreated the more it becomes a whole a body dysfunction rather than just a back injury So just get in the gym a lot and consistently, start light. The thing that’s helped me is really mobility training back extensions and split squats were especially key for me. Plus look into various stretches as their is so many that may help you get relief. Last thing is to remember surgery is always the last resort
Happy B day. I like the thoughtfulness + effort put behind the gift. I'm doing a setup to connect my pc to a crt and going to do some retro gaming myself. Crt hits different :D
Also if you're dealing with sciatica, be mindful with what you're eating as processed foods can disrupt the core and low ab from working. So avoiding seeds oils, processed stuff, white sugar, flour for the most part will help. Then skilled training of your inner core muscles needs to be done to start. Lots of other factors as well
I have a herniated disc the same exact thing you have what helped me a lot was physical therapy. Stretching and doing little workouts that strengthen your back are key. As well as getting dry needling done! I would suggest those the most! Since I wanted to evade surgery as much as possible
jet, I went thru a stretch where I was getting consistently very sick for 1-2 years, so i know the pain. i attribute it to abrupt dietary/lifestyle changes thru 2020/2021. immediate things which could help are vit d/k, vit A (liver a good source, perhaps ur pops can make it taste aight, eat a lil bit 1 time a wk), proper calcium intake. If you can hit up a sauna 1/2 a week to detoxify, could help as well. hope ya feel better
I HAVE A HERNIATED DISC to the point I couldn’t walk when it’s flared up… basically I was told to do core exercises and also try not to sit so much (if you do then lean backwards or sit neutral) , you can get prescribed painkillers if needed. I was also told you can overtime move ur disc back into place which is done through stretches (e.g. yoga pose called cobra) you can search all those yoga poses or stretches on RU-vid. Also, if you work out be careful with deadlifts & squats
Happy Birthday, I usually don’t comment on videos but I have experience with treating people with disc herniations and sciatica and I’m not sure if you have already done this but my recommendation would be to see a physio who can evaluate you. Normally extension bias exercises can help disc herniation and sciatica and there are other interventions as well but it’s hard to recommend specific exercises without an evaluation.
Hey Jet, I had 2 herniated discs in my lower spine, causing severe sciatica pain. I found the best sports chiropractor who specialises in chinese medicine. He has been the only specialist(after seeing many different types of specialists). You need to follow the advice of someone you trust. Once it's in at a manageable place, building up your core muscles really helps, too. Too bad you're not in Oz. Best wishes on your healing journey. 🙏💙🇦🇺
I've had problems with a lower disc hernia for years and am a similar age to you. Most important things for me are sleeping on my right (hernia is lower left side) side with a pillow between my knees + one behind and one in front of me. If I fall asleep on my back or left side or front, I will feel it the next day. Firm mattress is also important. Also not lifting anything heavy at all. Sometimes stretches help when it flares up, but often stretches make it worse. Head pads you stick to your back for 8 hours also help me more than ICE and ibuprofen ect. Not that you should take a rando youtube comment for advice.
Love your videos! Have you been to a chiropractor for your back? I was having terrible back pain 2 years ago and started to go to a Nucca chiropractor. After my first treatment, my back felt like tetris falling into place!! I highly recommend it. Also....oil of oregano capsules may help boost your immune system :D
Did the dg games nostalgia, inspire some of the clothing themes? And are we getting a fire drop this Kobe year for the brand that you got in the works?
For your disc, ice ice ice it down! Also, do some stretches. Lay on the floor, stomach down, elbows propped under and lean back and hold. It helps force the disc back in....and then MORE ICE
hey jet! for herniated discs i recommend going to physical therapy. it'll help strengthen the surrounding muscles near your herniated disc and aid you with your activities of daily life. keep it mind, physical therapy does take some time, but it will be worth it in the end. plus, it'll make you better in tennis. best of luck and keep doing you!
Lay on your back….take your left leg and cross it over your right leg….then pull them up towards your chest and hold it. That helps tremendously with relieving the nerve pain.
I have severe stenosis, and a very bad herniated disk, I am putting off having a microdiskectomy and laminectomy.. in the meantime I am having steroid epidural injections. They help some.
Careful about spinal surgery, I had a badly herniated disc and after the surgery I had to wear a surgical corset, sounds sexy but not. Several years later I had a scary Sleep study, they thought that I needed a CPAP machine, urgently. Then I was diagnosed with Acromegaly, so Transfenoidal surgery to remove the pituitary tumour (Andre the giant)! ........ It is manageable but scary! You are a lot taller than your bros, so if your hands and feet are still expanding maybe do a sleep study! Does Syd ever think you snore or choke while sleeping another telling symptom! Its a very rare condition maybe 3-4 per million per year, so don't panic, just be aware! a few years later
What’s up Jet! I have numerous spine issues including what you’re dealing with! (hence the name Spineless LOL) Some things that help me are a lot of stretching, heating pads, hot showers (let the water run on areas of pain), THC, and rest.I hope you start feeling better homie! (p.s the main condition I have is Spina Bifida)
Chiming in for everyone who has already said physical therapy. Do the exercises as much as possible. And you can try a little bit of alpha lipoic acid 600 mg - some evidence it may help with nerve pain, along with a daily multivitamin.
I also have a shit immune system. Vitamin D 3 has worked wonders for me. I have been taking it every day for the past 4 years, and have cut my sickness down to almost nothing.
I messed up my back something awful, there is a dude in Toronto by the name of Olsi Hasko, not sure what he's up to these days as I'm living in Seoul now, but that guy is a f'ing wizard no joke.
