Anyone reading this with similar back issues (disk herniation in L4-L5 and L5-S1) keep working at it. The adjustments from a chiropractor make it less painful to excersize and strengthening the core is key. I've started taking supplements to promote disk health which I believe have also helped. It's been 7 months for me since my injury so it takes time and PAITENCE but don't give up! Every morning do your excersizes even if they hurt, stay active and don't let depression drag you down because it will try. Take 15 minutes every hour and just walk as much as you can, try to stretch out and don't let your back get stiff. Stay hydrated! That's one change I've made in the last month that has helped a ton.
I hope someone gets something out of this comment. Good luck yall and don't give up

THANK YOU. This has ben the most sensible video of dozens I've watched over the last 2 years. I almost cried watching this. This video gives me hope for my S1 left side nerve pain.

These YOUTUBE videos are a major help to all of us who have ongoing back problems.
Especially with SCIATICA which at best is very difficult to deal with and requires TIME
to heal . A dedicated EXERCISE REGIME is essential . Good food and supplements .
Maintaining a healthy spine position & building up CORE STRENGTH is vital.
You must stay positive and believe in yourself - that you WILL GET BETTER.
.... then YOU WILL GET BETTER

Whew!!! Finally I found this video. I was not explained clearly by my Dr that I have had Piriformis. In my therapy session, I was not instructed to do the step as at sitting position on the chair, crossing the painful leg over the opposite leg, and pushing down, but I try to do at home and now from this video, I realized that I have been doing the right step.

Great video, Doctor. None of my chiropractors had shown any of these type of exercises. None of my medical doctors had any idea what I was complaining about. Amazing.

I tried it for 10 days. It doesn't heal but it relieve pain and also increase activity time. I can stand longer before the pain spike. ( I am also taking Gabapentin 300mg, 3 times a day.) Strongly recommend, if you cannot do surgery or take steroid shot. There is HOPE to recover. Just don't give up.

The piriformis stretch in the chair is the first stretch to finally bring relief to my nagging sciatic leg pain. Thank you. Praying it lasts.

Hello from Romania! I did an MRI and the diagnoses are these: Posterior disc protrusion at the L5-S1 level, ACCENTUATED AT THE PRE- AND INTRA-FORAMINAL LEVEL ON THE LEFT SIDE, NARROWING THE CONJUGATION OPENING AND CAUSING RADICULAR CONFLICT WITH THE S1 ROOT EMERGING FROM THE BILATERAL DURAL SAC, MORE PROMINENT ON THE LEFT SIDE. In conclusion, it is noted: Posterior disc protrusions at the L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 levels.
I dit at the hospital, and the exercises were done in a cage: the first one involved lying on my back with one knee bent, while with the left leg, I pedaled a bicycle using a pulley and a 2 kg weight. The second exercise also used the pulley, with the same weight, but this time the right knee was bent, and the left leg was raised to the level of the right knee and then lowered. I felt better, but I don't know what exercises to do at home. Please help me!!! Thx !!!

BEST thing to do is get in with a physical therapist that understands body bio-mechanics and IMBALANCE issues. My hips were so tight I was literally tearing apart my new S-1 and L-5 fusion just by merely walking because of my are hips so tight. I would twist at the L-5 area when I walked. I got that corrected via PT and the leg pain caused by the L-5 twisting vanished over 3-4 weeks.

The best set of instructions for disc problems on U tube thank you !

I've been researching videos for days. This is the most helpful as to assessment, how to correct, AND how to develop core strength to prevent future pain.

Minute 1:00 hold it for five to ten minutes.
