How I Healed My Sciatica: Personal Recovery Story
Mar 02, 2025In February 2022 I hurt my back while lifting weights and developed
sciatica
in not one, but in my two legs now, although it took me for 4 months to solve the problem eventually improved and has never returned since and in today's video, I will break down exactly what I did to solve my own scitches and what I hope you work for you, so my name will be and that I am in a specialist in the 50s. People improve the symptoms of yoursciatica
and prevent it from returning and today I will show with you exactly what worked for me, so it was really reluctant to make this video because I obviously do not be 50 years I convinced that I wrinkled in February.A vacation in which I had not had access to a gym or any exercise team and when I got home I felt quite anxious, I lost my gym and wanted to return as soon as possible, so as soon as we returned, I went directly to the gym and tried that I had left it two weeks ago before we had gone on vacation and one of the holidays. A great really good exercise for the strength of your leg and your back strength basically works the whole body now in my first return session even though I felt quite weak and tired of the trip that I tried to put both weight on the bar as I had done before I left.
In Bam I felt this pain in the back of my right leg and felt as if a dog had grabbed the back of my leg in my mouth and I was biting the strongest that could be a really strange sensation, it is not like something I had had before I put the weight. I stopped the exercise diminished and I thought it was a bit strange now that this is something fun that I specialized in helping people with Sciatica, but that it convinces me that it convinces me that it convinces me of that, what I have convinced, which convinces me, which convinces me that it convinces me of that, which convinces me of that, which convinces me of that, what I convince me, what I have convinced me, what I have convinced me, what I have convinced me.
Convinced, what I have convinced, what I have convinced, what I have convinced, what I have convinced, what I have convinced, what I have convinced, what I have convinced, what I have convinced, what I have convinced, what I have convinced of that. He had thrown from an hamstring, since he had never thrown from an hamstring before he always had quite flexible and strong hamstrings and I thought that, Oh, this must be how a tension in the hamstrings feels, so I continued the training. Under the sheets of the bed, I could not even feel my fingers of my feet against the comforter and that really scared me and made me totally aware of the fact that this was not just a tension in the hamstrings.
Having pain in the legs, but I simply did not expect it and what I had probably made to the reflection was injured, an album just at the base of the spine, now the most commonly injured album in its spine is the album L5 S1, which is one at the base of the spine of the spine, it is most commonly injured because it lives in the curve of the back of the back for diseases that are in the L5 S1 and my pain and my pain with pain with pain. According to the fingers of the feet, the back of the leg and the side of the calf had lowered, so it is a beautiful textbook, obviously, the mechanism coincides very well and well because it was tilting forward raising a heavyweight that exerts more pressure on the discs and making a dead weight when it is fatigued or with a bad technique is a risk factor for a disc, so I put more pressure.
The protuberance of the disk that had caused the internal material of the disk to remove and touch the nerve at the base of the spine now the interesting thing about failure injuries is most of the time they do not cause any pain, so we are not even aware that we have one possible, it is possible that you can have other disk lesions in my spine Do not do it. What I had done and worked with my normal disc rehabilitation trying to solve it now, the bad news about this is that, although I should know what I am doing in the coming weeks, the pain worsened and worse and not only had that pain in my right leg, I was beginning to develop it in my left leg, which again scared me because that is a risk factor that a rare condition is developed.
Brain, what is going to my brain, which is going to my brain, which is going to my brain. Safe and worse and worse, but thank God I stayed with my original plan and, finally, things began to improve now that I learned some lessons in the process and these lessons about the reflection that I can look back and say that I removed all this experience. I stopped trying to read the pain so closely the next thing I learned is that certain poses kill me absolutely and that they were not always the ones I expected every time I have treated the patients, I always expected that the flexion forward with a disc of disc tends to be painful, not always, but it tends to be and I realize that I double the worst pain, but that was not the case, in general, if I am very slightly, I But more I double the worst pain, but that is not the case, in general, if never again, always what really gives me the pain, but that really gives me the pain, but that really gives me the pain.
I was totally good, so it was a bit strange, yes, now, now this gave me problems in my work because obviously, when I have a patient, they are in bed in front of me, I often have a slight inclination forward to do something here, so much of the day I spent in the worst position for me, so that it meant that I had to be very careful how I was positioning my body, since what I learned is the next one I learned that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased that I increased. compression to my spine.
The exercise in which I folded and used pesos would get my pain worse and, sometimes, that was the case, but often I only had a heavyweight or simply had a heavyweight on my back, even if I was in an upright position, that seemed to be what triggered some of the worst pain and what I think was happening there is that we say this is fine and my album is the album that is now giving me a record. And generally that is totally safe and is fine, but if I have an acute album lump, I think that additional compression was enough to push slightly forward and if I was holding the weights for a sustained period of time, I could feel that the pain more slowly worsened and worse, so in the end I used more machines where I did not have much weight on my back and that I used more exercises where I was in a position of being in a position, which I could continue to be in a position.
We still use the gym. In addition, I just want to tell you about three tips on Friday three tips on Friday is my weekly email that I send to my list and presents three of the most interesting things that I found that this week could be a health council, it could be a research investigation that I am reading or could be a new tool that I discovered that it is really useful to help people get more mobile, I only sent an email. Link The next thing I learned is that stretching even doing this type of stretching that I often tell my patients who do with Sciatica initially worsened the problem and began to do those stretching almost immediately and during the first two weeks, regardless of what stretch, I always finished that stretch and felt worse, but later in the process when things began to improve.
In a bad time, so it does not necessarily be that an exercise works or not for you, it is only For what has gone to all patients, which has really resulted in. To continue walking now, a few days, any exercise I did seemed to get worse, so I said that you know what I am going to go for three very short walks and every time I returned from those walks I felt better I was not only helping the pain, but also kept my mobility and maintaining at least some of the strength I felt I was losing, so I could not only do the exercise and that it was very important, the next one I learned, I However, that I remained, however, that I stayed, however, since I stayed with the same position that I was in the same position, since I stayed with the exercise.
Pillow that slight rotation of my pelvis at night would make me wake up with the pain in my leg, but only having that dubbed pillow between the knees is separated from the knees to the point that your pelvis always turns slightly back, which returns to sleep the night, which can be a little better, which can be a little position, which can be a little more. I was lying on my back, all I did was keep that pillow, but put it behind my knees and have that light break in the knee there removes the tension of the sciatic nerve again and help me sleep or bedtime comfortably and that my legs were flat again.
Doing exercises with great movements for sciatica would often aggravate it, but the smallest movements seem to restore my mobility slowly over time, so I will show you some of the movements that I
personal
ly made to help me improve these, these will not be super ileos for everyone and obviously they will check it before they try it, and if they cause pain only to prevent it from being very important for me, these exercises are complete They do, they are likely to have an attempt and if it does, it only avoids it, it is very important for me, these exercises are completely, but they are completely pain, but they do.So, or it is the incorrect exercise or you have introduced it too early, so the first thing I did was the Mini Cobra, which was super simple, everything I did was bedtime on my forehead in a mat on the floor of my bed and then using strength in my arms, I just pushed my chest around 6 and then, very slow, now I saw it again. I will feel that nothing happens exactly as it felt for me, but while doing this, I often felt that the pain in my leg began to go back and began to disappear as the set progressed, so I returned to this exercise probably four times a day doing 10 in a row in a row and that really helped me improve the second thing I did is that I tried Now he has accompanied you by the hand.
To keep my pelvis forward and then keep everything yet, I just lifted that upper knee until I reached the point of rigidity, I could not go higher and then fall back my knee and then go up again and if you are doing this correctly, I should feel that the glute moss in the back here works quite hard, I really wanted my buttock to try to try and protect my back, so it is as much as possible, so it is as much as possible. I was raising up and down sometimes 20 25 of these in a row and if I felt strong, I put a resistance band around my knees just to be more a challenge that would do that exercise on both sides, probably two or three times every day, an exercise that worked very well for me towards the end of the process was a buttock stretch now when I put on 90% better that I felt better, but I was improving, but I was improving.
A lot now before this section seemed to aggravate it, but as I improved and improved, it seemed to help him, so what I did for this was to sit in a chair Iillegué my right pimp to my left thigh like that, I sat well and tall, I had a hand here just to endure and then gently lent forward in the hips now, I could feel a really intense stretch in my buttock. The opposite shoulder is now the same muscle that stretches, but you can feel it in a different way than the first and once again, and again I would hold it for 30 seconds trying to maintain a good vertical posture and then, when I put my leg, the pain field I felt much better now, now I am not sure that it would help so much, but that it really did not help me start with my buttocks.
In the end, there was an exercise that uses that seems to help cross the process and that is called the sliding of the wall, it is a super simple exercise, it is useful to mobilize the spine and my belief is that it helps to recover the blood towards the disc and help it heal, what I did for this exercise is basically with the wall. My painful leg would be the left leg now that you wantHaving the elbow and its forearm against the wall in this way, you want your feet together and perhaps a space of dosot between the edge of your foot closer to the wall and the edge of the wall has that hand on your hip and everything you are going to try is to fold your hips towards the wall like this and then return to the neutral position to start in a inclination position and then move your hips.
Look, I still have a great gap between my hips and the wall, so it is not expected that you touch the wall there, which is absolutely well, it is more only the movement we are trying to ob try. I improve and I think I really accelerated my
recovery
. I also want to minimize the fact that I still walked much that I walked as much as I could and tried to do so many normal gym routine as I could avoid the exercises that I could feel that the sciatica was worsening. I should be trying to be as active as possible, but just modify what it normally does so that it does not aggravate the problem, but if it stops the exercise completely, that can be when people begin to get into trouble, so it is how I fixed my own sciatica, without a doubt, without a doubt, a terrifying trip, but everything went well in the end and I hope that today's video has helped him at least, therefore, if I did.Arrangeing the sciatica at home, I have a lot of information on how to improve all the different sciatica in my book, including the DISS problems called prospering beyond 50, the 2024 edition and is now available on Amazon on Amazon and all good book retailers also, so thank you very much if there is a copy. video
