NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE.. (NOT CLICKBAIT) 

Hey Yan - I'm now ready to do that running race everyone wants to see 😜. Get well soon.

love how you're still so positive Yianni ❤ get well soon

it's incredibly heartwarming to see your friend and family run to the rescue when you are in pain

Get well soon, Yian All of your fans will be waiting for you at the finish line

I feel your pain Yian.. 13 months of private physio and controlled core strengthening has seen me with L4L5 recovery to the best it can be. The smallest things can cause a flare so just rest and mobilise as much as you can bro🙏🏽

Wishing you s a speedy recovery i cant lie the road will not be easy but you have a good network of friends and family. No rush Just recover.

I had a Diskectomy about 12 years ago,I wouldn’t wish it on my worse enemy,thankfully I got better as I’m sure you will also,hope ya feeling better soon Yianni 👍😉💪

Went through something similar. NHS would not give MRI scan. Went private. Fully herniated my L5-S1 disc. Had surgery. Now recovered. Takes time to recover, look after that back of yours!

Get well soon yan your health comes first physical and mental health stay strong

Yianni, I totally understand everything you have gone through. I manage prolapsed discs in my L4/L5/S1 region on a daily basis and have had a fully slipped disc twice before from exactly the same reason as you, long distance driving. Having been told i needed surgery and being utterly terrified, i got a second opinion by a Spencer Harland at the Spire in Solihull and was advised Not to have surgery at the age of 31 but have intense physio therapy to build the strength up in that region and support the vertebrae. From 3 times a week im now down to 1 session every 3 weeks of mobilisation/massage/traction and other than an occasional twinge in my leg if im tired im as normal as i could be. Its a long road with the rehab so i cannot emphasise just how important having a good, regular physio is with back problems like you have endured. Hang in there man and GTFO those Tramadol asap! 👍

Wow what an experience you had. Hope you have a speedy recovery and 100% Your Health is Your Wealth.

Couldn’t believe the rubbish you had to endure at the hospital yianni, for what you give to so many people I can only wish you a speedy recovery mate. As you said health is wealth, stay safe yianni and all the best David 👍👍

Brutal mate get well soon! Backs are no joke, I woke up with a normal stiff neck one morning, went to work and within an hour i couldn't move my neck at all, complete seized up and massive pain, shoulders, upper back, neck, arms even the back of my head all absolutely throbbing. somehow managed to drive home without being able to look left or right when pulling out. 5 osteopath sessions later and I could get back to it, 2 weeks of pain and all it was was some dodgy scar tissue from an old injury I didn't even know I had had teared by my shoulder blade. That was the day I realised that man, if a muscle can do that to me imagine what a spinal injury would do! get well soon, health is wealth indeed!

Get well soon yanni take care speedy recovery bro 🙏🏽

Yianni, be 💪 sending you good cheers and prayers of healing to you. You’ll bounce back in no time.

Same thing happened to me. I had my back operated on to release the nerve. I spend 6 weeks in hospital and now home trying to walk again. Thanks for this video 🙏🏼

Wishing u speedy recovery Yan ,Had a lower slipped disc ones , your body literally froze and any tiny movement l were in tears , even now l’m still terrifying thinking of what if it happens again … Makes u realise how important is your health,,,and u don’t enjoy anything without it …

Take as much time as you need yan . You're channel is amazing and well worth the wait buddy 👍

Get well soon Yianni I hope you have a fast recovery ❤

Some incompetence in those medical personnel...yan has alot of real friends 👏👏👏

Yianni, I had 20 years of this pain with 3 prolapsed discs. Best thing I did was increase core strength to support the lower spine. Everyone's ailment is different though and I'm sure you'll get a top notch physio for recovery (and them film it all!) Best of luck!

Get well soon health is wealth money is not everything be well to be there for family 👍

Hey Yian I can relate to you 100%. 5 years ago I went through a period where I was going through exactly what you are and the doctors and hospital wouldn’t help me. I had this excruciating pain in my lower back and leg and for months they just said I had sciatica, even though I know it was something much worse and nobody would listen to me. I couldn’t walk, move, shower, put my socks on or get dressed etc. Everytime I moved, I was screaming from the pain. After months of fighting with the health services, they finally decided to scan me and they found a tumour trapped under my nerves in my spine. They finally gave me a 10 hour surgery to remove the tumour and thank god it was benign and to this day, I’m ok. I had no family history of this kind of thing and I’m fit and healthy too. I can also relate to the scan asI felt exactly the same and it did feel like I was buried alive. It will take time, but stay strong and positive. Get better soon. Michael 🙏🏻

Get well soon, I was in a similar situation at he young age of 27, I went from being sporty and active, taking it all for granted, until one day I tore knee ligament, I couldn't run, couldn't walk, couldn't drive, couldn't even bend my leg, I went from someone who was very active to someone considering if they will even be able to work again. The physical issue was hard but the mental toll was always worse

Been binge watching your videos for like a week now all the way from Africa, Kenya to be precise and honestly love your content man the hype, the good vibes and just the general feeling of you the team and your family. But like you said sometimes we just need an oil change, So yeah take it easy and everything else will fall into place. Get well soon ooh yeah am Sam. PEACE

Get well soon yanni

Get well soon Yianni.I have been suffering severe back problems for 30 years now so don't do anything silly and listen to your body. It will never steer you wrong.

Hi Yian. Really sorry to hear your going through this. Back pains are the worst. Its cost me a lot ot time out from sports. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping to see you back on your feet ASAP. Take some much needed rest.

Stay Positive Bro. Ups and downs happen, just make sure the ups keep the downs away. Healing always takes longer. Keeping you in my Prayers. You got this!

I had a flu jab Yianni and I haven’t been able to work for the last 10 months. I ended up in neurology for 8 days. I am still totally messed up. I still feel shocked about it all now.

All best had similar issues years back rest it ,I had my lower disc fused together . Get well soon sir . Regards Eddie King .

I had this exact thing happen to me. I was a serving member of the army. Post tour in Afghanistan. Had a bit of a blast whilst over there and put my back out. My L5/S1 disk and 6 others exploded. Now I couldn’t move. Not even an inch. Anyway manned through for a week. Then it brought me to tears. Can’t sleep, can’t go toilet properly. And it’s when the doc at the med center said have you had a bowel movement I said no it takes me about half hour to even dribble piss. He said you need an operation you’ll end up poisoned from the inside. So anyway I had a long 7 hour operation and they replaced 2 and micro dissected the other 4 disks. I swear on my own life. I just remember the relief. I had a external exoskeleton on for 6 weeks couldn’t drive or walk without an aid. But yeah best decision I ever made was accepting the surgery. I don’t care what anyone says if you’ve not been through disk issues. When those disks go and your nerves are pinched. Your body just shuts down. By the sounds of it Yian has got lucky. He can still get up although a painful struggle. But brother heed this warning. If you slip or miss a step and burst your disk. You will wish death on yourself. It will be 100 X your current pain. Please be careful and go steady. Get acupuncture, DO NOT get cortisol injections. My grandad had those. They work for few weeks then fade and pain returns. Don’t do physio straight away. That’s a risk. Your not too bad but your at that dangerous stage of swelling that it could burst. But then just get surgery. Anyway that’s my experience and through that experience. That’s my knowledge and advice. Hope you get well soon.

Get well soon , wishing you fast recovery and hoping your be back in no time!!🙏🙏🧿

My prayers with you Yani, just know your well thought of and use this time to recharge yourself ready for the next level, God bless

Hi Yan, I'm going through the same issue and feel your pain brother. Keep taking your meds, have plenty of rest and stay positive, wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hi Yanni i hope you get better soon i had seemer thing has you had which is called Sciatica which is very painful it took me 4 weeks to get back to normal so in that 4 week i did ligth Exercise if you can do this - Lie down on hard floor, grab under your knee, and pull your knee up to your chest as much as you can. Hold for 10 seconds. Keeping your leg tight to the body, straighten your knee as much as you can. Hold for 10 seconds. If you need more of a stretch, pull your toe down toward yourself. Repeat these steps on the other side. all the best Yanni

Fella, I have had 3 back ops around L3-L5. I was in the same position for the third op and was on crutches. Was and still on some of those drugs but the best pain relief is a bag of frozen peas. once the cold gets in deep, it all contracts and the relief is magical. I know exactly how you are feeling mentally and i was told 12-14 weeks recovery but each time was 8 weeks. chin up fella. it gets easier…

I got similar situation take care!! Health is important.

I wish you a fast recovery .!

"That fish got big eyes" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 had you feeling like Detective Marcus

Get Well Soon!!!

Get well soon buddy !...

Ive had about 7 MRI scans (ive got MS) so i understand your pain! Get well soon xx

For the past 6 years, I've had at least 2 MRI per year. The machine is no joke, especially if you are the slightest bit claustrophobic. I have to take pills beforehand. Watching this video makes me grateful to have good health care and not have to jump through the hoops like Yanni did. FFS that was brutal.

I hope you get well soon Yan. This falls back to the golden rule for life ‘always prioritise your first foundation’ (your health). Your body is the one and only place you can truly call home and the vehicle that you will use for everything you perceive from birth to death. Health is wealth Amen 🙏

U will get better soon🙏🙏🙏💯🥺

Exactly a year ago this month I woke up on morning with the worst pain I ever had on my left side of my left shoulder blade. During the day for two weeks the pain would move down my left shoulder down to my forearm and into my chest with spadams all over. and my index pointer and middle finger were numb and tingling. Couldn't sleep and moving around was torture. Pain finally went away after a couple weeks but I lost 90% of the strength on my left side. Turned out I had a pinched nerve in my c6c7. Took 8 months to get strength back and today a year later I am. finally 100%. Not sure what your exact problem is but nerves and spine is no joke. Takes time. But I feel you when you say horrible pain. I never felt pain like that.

Dont worry about the content. Just rest and get well soon :)

Get well soon yian

I feel your pain Yianni, I suffer with the same issue as you in my back. I’m also very claustrophobic so I’m unable to get in an MRI - fair play to you for sticking it out. Get well soon

Get well soon bruv

Get better soon Yan hope for a speedy recovery for you

Be strong…. Rest up….

get well soon yan.

Yianni don’t worry about the content just get better bro your fans are here we not going anywhere ❤️

Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏 Cheers from Lithuania

Get well soon

Hope you have a speedy recovery Yianni take care man

Get well soon pal

Hi Yianni. Praying for you brother. This too shall pass. Bobby - Long Island New York

Sorry to see you in that much pain. I have the same problem and I've been out of action for over 3 months sorry to say. Had the same problem with having a MRI scan yes... no... then yes in the end after a week of going in to A&E. Not the most pleasant place to be in MRI scan machine, I'm 6ft4in tall. Hope you get better soon . The pi have I can't walk any distance before my legs go in to spasm and I collapse... Good luck.😂😢

Hi! I have a Lumbar disc herniation (i think thats what he means at 12:10 with exploded) between my L4 and L5 since i was 15. Its very close to your spot and i have big troubles with my left leg aswell. (Ichias nerve gets clamped in the spinal canal, thats whats up. This nerve runs down the left leg, im sure that had you "down" aswell ) It wont go away fully ever, but an operation is the worst thing you can do. What happens is, the disc bulges out forward and clamps the neve - they would cut off the bulging oit part, simple as that. Most often, after those operations the remaining scar would take the discs place, plessing on the nerve and you only lost money. Hospitals only want to make money. It takes alot of therapy and training tho. It can be incredibly painful indeed but.. man up yianny xD if you can get into your car get into your car man.

Praying for you my bro 🙏🏽

get well soon !

Get well soon But did I hear @yianni say @ashville cracked the mri machine😳😳

Have this issue. Private doesnt cover a&e. If its urgent like your case then private wont cover it till you are out of A&E. I have this on my L2 and having had this happen several times over past few years when the signs start i start deep heat, rest and a back brace (physioroom). But this is a pain that is unbearable and my deadlifting days are over 😢

Yep, I was in MR for 45 minutes, stuck with shoulders and elbows... and cherry on top was a fact that my headphones weren't fitted well. That thing was loud af.

Get better Yianni. All the best from over here in Canada.

Hi Yianni just watched your latest video on you talking about your back and your pain. Get well soon so you can get back to normal day-to-day things. Look forward to seeing your next video output so From is it get well quick ciao

Get well soon mate

get well soon

Get well yianni soon ❤❤

Get well soon Yanni, ❤

I've had an MRI scan twice and it was nothing like the experience you're saying, it's not scary. Mine obviously wasn't pleasant as they put some liquid in you through the canular, but it's definitely nothing to be afraid of.

Had the same thing with my Dad, GP and doctors both put it down to muscle problems and said they wouldn’t do anything or give an MRI unless it was life threatening or he could no longer move. Eventually we kept pushing and eventually managed to get a doctor that finally recognised the severity of the situation and sent him for immediate MRI and they got the results immediately there and then. He was rushed into emergency surgery to have 2 disks fused. The doctors said if they hadn’t have done the surgery then he would have ended up with a colonoscopy bag. Fortunately after rehabilitation he was able to walk again, though still has no feeling in the bottom of one of his feet as he ended up with nerve damage due to the disk leaking into the ecorda equina Unfortunately because the doctors are so stretched you will often get pushed out of the door as soon as possible without even doing any scans and they will treat you as low priority even though back issues can have severe consequences. So anyone in the same situation please keep pushing and don’t be afraid to ask for second opinion.

❤ get well soon wish you all best god bless everything you said about nhs is right I’m going through it now so I no how u feel take care 1love
