5 Signs of a Pinched Nerve in the Lower Back

In this video I talk about 5 Signs of a Pinched Nerve in the Lower Back. I will show you what a normal lumbar spine looks like and I talk about the different causes of a pinched nerve in the lumbar spine. Remember, not all people who have a pinched nerve in the lower back have back pain. As a matter of fact, most people have leg pain only.

I had a pinch nerve middle back. Did physical therapy for a few months and gave up. Straight to acupuncture and cured in 6 sessions in a month

This is EXACTLY what i have been experiencing over the last few days. First time in my life I've had this. Welcome to my 40's.... great.

I had t12 L1 L2 spinal fusion in June 2019.
I'm now 33. The last two month I've had those second symptoms. I walk like hunchback. Back pain included, leg tingly on left side. As I wait to see my doctor, I am doing studying of my own. Thank you for this video.

I had severe sciatica after weeding the garden last November 2023. Shortly after had partial footdrop - left foot and numbness in front of my left leg. The pain went after three weeks but the disfunction remained but very slowly improved. I had an MRI 5th January 2024. I saw the results last week. There was a 18mm protrusion on my L4 disc. I would say that was large, but my functional walking is much better now and I only have a small numbness. In just the last week the improvement is great. I am not sure if that is the end of it, certainly hope so. Need to be extremely careful now and get a gardener maybe. I relate very well to the point about pain in the leg and not in the back - that was very true for me. The worst and most scary thing was the disfunctionality as I love hiking. It takes so much longer to improve than the pain.

Sometimes a pinched nerve in your cervical spine (neck) can also lead to tingling/numbness in your legs. Having an MRI will reveal where the problem is. A note: MRIs are way cheaper in third world countries (like $50) versus thousands of dollars and long wait times in the US.

What hurt the most is when the nerve fail to do a proper blood flow, its the hurt that will make you uncomfortable in any position.
You can’t even sleep

2nd time in 6 months Ive taken an ambulance to the ER for what has to be a pinched lumbar nerve. The pain is unimaginable.
Saw a surgeon a couple months ago and they want to send me out of town for a Basil vertibral ablation (BVN Ablation). IDK what to do but I know I cant go through this again, the everyday chronic pain in my back is bad enough but this is insanely painful.

[amaddenmind]

Thanks for the video...I just have lower back pain it hurts so bad I thought I had a pinched nerve but the pain isn't going down my leg is just my lower back

[dashingdarkknight]

Got my pinch nerve a few years back while gyming, entirely my fault as i did not listen tp my body. Does not effect my daily life, no pain. Only acts up if i do exercises which place tension on my lower back eg. Deadlifts, barbell rows. Stopped doing these 2 exercises years ago. Decided to do deadliftes again and boom started again. Extreme sharp pain in lower back. Would have went down to my left leg but stopped exercise immediately. Will be sore for the next 2 - 3 days but then back to normal. Last time this happened my left leg gave in and i was literally crawling in pain. Got into an ice bath and helped ease the extreme pain.

I go for an MRI scan next week. I have been experiencing tingly legs and occasional numbness and weakness. I am a very active 63 year old.

I’m 23 and this is the second time it’s happened in the last 2 years

Not sure if you would get this but cold a pinch nerve in the upper back cause your back to feel cold between and around shoulder blades. I will note my shoulder blade bone around the muscle feels tender

[darlenedoyle]

I have 4 pinched nerves. Had lots of X-rays to confirm it. Yet can’t do anything about it because I’m a hemophiliac! My blood doesn’t clot right. Sometimes it doesn’t clot at all and I almost died twice. Had 2 blood transfusions to save my life. Glad I’m alive but my back is getting worse and I have Osteoarthritis as well. I’m a mess lol

Thank you so so much for this video! More knowledgeable than any doc I saw for my pinched nerve. My MRi (of pretty much my entire body) didnt show anything. Based on your explanation, i would think that would only leave me with inflammation in the area. How would that be diagnosed? And what type of injection would be used?

Ever see a pinched nerve in back mimic heart pain? Particularly around where the shoulder and spine meet i think around the 5 back vertebrae

[termodog]

I don’t remember any numbness tingling..it just feels like a horse kicked me, and docs here want to do a hip replacement….ugh. I’m protesting. I think it’s a pinch nerve. Seeing a spine doc soon. But my pain starts on my right butt area, hurts in the joint and goes down the front of my thigh. I swear I can feel my femur bone.

[kellancole]

doc please let me know if a pinched nerve can cause muscle twitching

[superman]
