Well I had pain in the butt, lower back, side of my hips, legs, knees, and my groin for years. My pain covered all the taped areas you showed. Various Physical Therapists and Chiropractors said it was my lower back; but after years of suffering, a Chiropractor finally sent me for an MRI of my hip. It came back showing a large labrum tear, so I recently had hip surgery. The surgeon also discovered what he considered a very bad bone spur. After a few months of recovery, I’m doing great!! I can’t believe the amount of pain I had from that torn hip. I know if I would have seen you two for my pain, you two would have figured it out. And, it wouldn’t have taken you years! Thanks 🙏🏻 so much for your videos. I’ve learned so much from you, and I follow your advice. I’ve told my current Chiropractor and Physical Therapist about your videos. 😉 They think they’re great too.

I can't wait till the follow-up videos. I need this info so badly. My pain is so bad that it keeps me from doing anything. My home is a mess because most days I have such a high pain level that it's hard to move around or clean, etc. I'd sure like to get back into life, so I hope this is just the info I've needed.

i still can't be certain if my pain is coming from my hip or my back, sciatica, etc. but some of your back stretches have helped ... i'll keep watching and hope to reduce my pain over time. thanks so much for your vids. just wish you were in my area and i'd just come see you direct. alas you're not ...

I had radio ablation on my lumber 3 weeks ago, I've had this same treatment 4 times with relief every time. This past procedure was done by a different Doctor. I've been in agony ever since the procedure. I wonder if it's possible to burn the wrong nerves or just burn too many. I know that all the nerves in the lumbar region are responsible for most of the organs in the lower part of the body, kidneys, bladder, prostate and others as well, but I noticed severe hip pain the last 4 or 5 days. I sure hope that as these burnt nerves heal that the hip pain goes away as now I can't go for walks with my wife and that makes me miserable. I want to send out prayers and hopes of rapid recovery for everyone that has back problems as I have had them for over 40 years, I know all about pain.

Sooo, I have pain in both Bob and Brad demonstrated locations! A few herniated discs, but also some nerve pain from L5-SI that travels to the inner groin. All are on the same side. Will keep watching this week. Hopeful I pick up some tips for one or both😕.

OK the chair test worked. It's hip pain. I thought so, but now I am certain. Thanks. Looking forward to when you figure out how to fix the broken heart

I had a hip replacement in 2020. It went ok till after a few months the hip joint began sublexing. My surgeon felt it sublexing but at the same time we couldn’t get it to sublex when doing a fleuroscopy. I worked on strengthening and it quit sublexing. In August 2023, I had 2 fusions done. One at L2-L3 lateral cut and one at L5-S1, anterior cut. Then I had a huge herniation at L2-L3 and had revision surgery which was a laminectamy, disectomy and fusion, posterior cut. This cured everything! I felt great! Then in June 2024, I began experiencing hip pain which has since became unbearable. What’s your diagnosis of this? I felt better than I have in years, then my hip replacement began hurting! I’m sad, angry, depressed, and don’t know what to do…

I have this.... also.... upper groin area pain at the same time and leg wants to give out ... I did my job I normally do.... but different direction then my normal ... so I know it's my back but also am wearing new shoes and it's raining and it is intensified with the rain

[goldie]

I wish I could get a complete skeleton replacement, keep growing old, just not have so many aches and pains in the second half of my life...just a thought 😊

I get lower back disc bulging pain, left thigh gets tingling and numb and lately, the left foot is hard to walk on. The hip Bursa when inflamed is SO painful. Thanks guys

[lavernewoodward]

My pain is where Brad's tape was located. Across the lower back, down that right butt area. That really hurts when I get up from sitting. I just took 1 ibuprofen to alleviate the pain. Since I don't take those meds I'm just testing to see if it works.

[lavernewoodward]

What excercise would work for uneven hips?

Great and helpful video! I have been busy and you brought a laugh outta the gate today! Hey, would you consider a suggestion? Please do a video on what to do when you perform 'involuntary' splits. I pulled muscles from my Achilles to my Glutes minimus, and into the inside thigh. So, there's too much info out there. Weights or no, stretching, which kind? My gait changed! I'm weird-ed out by that. Ha ha. I will wait for the broken heart vid.

[MichelleyB-zkeh]

Yep, clear as mud! Maybe a summary sheet with bullet points would be more clear

[tigerpause]

[liveasha]

My question is this should i have right kidney problem OR simply lower back pain ? Please explain this in your next video . I will wait . Thanks good job .

Severe back pain from arthritis. Hard to stand longer than 5 minutes. Walking a short distance sets both hips on fire. Sitting is only relief.

[reginahay]

I do have lower back pain, sciatica occasionally, a little bursitis (greater trochanter), all age related. Along with this, though, my cardiologist found that I have a stenosis in my iliac artery that causes severe claudication.the symptoms are slightly different but essentially the same location. I had 3 months of PT with only slight improvement.
