Great video! I found this out by accident. I didnt realize I had a degenerative disc in my thoracic region and I'm a weight lifter. I hadnt done over head presses with a barbell in a long time so I tried them one day. The next few days I was in pain. So now I know to not arch my back aggressively or arch while lifting.
I'm dealing with my 4th sciatica episode over about 4 years due to bulge in disc, it takes months to feel better. I work a very physical job, it was easy in my 30s, now I'm 53. It always seems like it started with twisting too far.
I have degenerative disc disease throughout my entire spine my neck is the worse. One wrong move and I will be in major pain for days now my lower back is bad so if I bend down wrong the pain is awful for days or weeks.
Surgery on July 19th for disk degen. On my c5,6,7 neck, I'm ready to have it done I can't tilt my head all the way back and constantly have pain in neck when rotating so if you have issues see your doc get mris ect. Long term of this is not fun I waited to long.
So when I bent-over I feel better but when I had an MRI the DOCTOR never said I had this thinning generator disc. HE JUST SAID IT'S A NORMAL BULGING DISC. Do you think it's a Posterior Disc Bulge?
There's no way of knowing that without seeing your MRI, but the important thing is that it feels better when you bend over, so you have some things you can do to relieve the pain.
Most disc bulges are posterior and many people get degenerative disc disease as they get older but some get it younger from excessive wear and tear on the disc or discs. Degenerative disc disease can cause a variety of things on mri but what is most important is how you feel. MRI images don’t always mean you have symptoms but if you have symptoms it can help determine the cause. Many people have DDD and feel fine and don’t even know it and some feel terrible every day and some are in between….their back hurts and may have sciatica but can go to work and take care of themselves as long as they do physical therapy and have pain meds for flare ups.
That can be one factor, but you've got many discs in your spine, and it's usually only one or a few that degenerate, so there are often other factors that are involved.
Yes hanging from a pullup bar works pretty well if you have the grip strength to do so. Here are a few other decompression exercises that have a similar effect: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dTEq9tgFdM0.html
Hello, my doctor said I have mild degenerative disc disease (per x ray). I’m only 31. What are your thoughts on best exercises to work around for that long term? I may switch from back squats to: front squats, DB lunges and or leg extensions. Do you think hip thrusts, good mornings and RDLs would be ok if I keep the load lighter and work in 10-15 rep range? I don’t want to give up lower body training but I also don’t want to push heavy squats and deadlifts that it sets me back for the future.
I can't tell you specifically which exercises you in particular should do. There's nothing inherently bad about any of the exercises you mentioned above, but it's important to use good technique, keep the load manageable, and avoid exercises that increase your pain.
@@More4Life hlo sir.. My mri says l4l5 l5s1 disc dessication with disc protrusion and mild neural foraminal narrowing.. Standing 🧍walking 🚶 leg pain.. Which exercise should i do sir?
Why is my chiro telling me to sit up straight and do the cobra yoga pose? I am in so much pain, my leg muscles are going to trash, I walk like a toddler and I am becoming physically ill to my stomach.
Those are good for some people with herniated disc, but most people with degenerative discs need the opposite. Bottom line, if it's working, keep doing what your chiropractor told you. If it's not working, try something else.
