I used to have trouble like this and saw a chiropractor regularly. It was so bad, I eventually went to the ER after not being able to walk for a few days without assistance. It was then that I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, which went to my pelvic/groin area, causing weakness. It's not the news I wanted to hear, especially because I believed I was doing everything I could to ensure that my bones were healthy and strong. If anyone's going through this, I hope that you take my situation into consideration and get checked by a Dr before it's too late. KZread is great for self diagnosis when you can't afford to see a Dr or simply afraid to see one, just like I avoided it by going to a chiropractor instead. It is more common than you'd think, so get checked. In my case, it was a blood test that determined it, followed by a biopsy the following morning.

For me, I have found boundless relief (and am now fully upright from bed) from steroid injections bilaterally to my back. The Pain Clinic gave me back a lot of mobility. May not work for everyone (nothing ever does), but personally speaking, this was the very best answer I could find for myself.
I stumbled upon your video at the right time. I have a lower back pain and whenever I get up to walk, it was painful and I had to hunch over to walk. I followed your instructions and it really helped me... I could get up without any pain and walked straightaway upright. Thank you

Excellent video but what about us short folks? With most chairs, when I sit all the way back, my feet are off the floor and the backs of my knees become really uncomfortable. So I scoot forward to take the pressure off them which leaves my back unsupported. I understand that I can use a footstool in private but most of my time (at least 12 hours a day) is in public. You can't ask for a footstool in a fine dining restaurant or even McDonald's. Most boardroom chairs, vehicle seats and even park benches are at fixed heights.
@More4Life
Жыл бұрын
I understand the struggle. I'm about 5'3". Footstool is definitely the "best" option, but not always practical as you mention. With boardroom chairs, often there is a handle under the seat to lower them. If not, you can put your feet on the spokes that hold the wheels. If you're out most of the time, you could take a lumbar support pillow like this one with you amzn.to/3DuNime. It doesn't raise your feet, but it does essentially bring the seatback forward. Yes, it is a bit of a hassle to carry around, but they're not that incredibly large, so it's a matter of deciding which is the bigger problem... the back pain or the inconvenience of carrying something.

Good video... concise and clearly presented which makes me glad that your channel was randomly recommended on my home page. I am currently quite morbidly obese (hopefully this will change over the next while as I try to lose some weight) but I am curious as to whether the advise in this video would be modified in any way taking my weight (and the fact I carry most of that weight as an abdominal apron) into account. I am a 70 year female with a torn medial meniscus in my left knee from a fall many years ago (I opted not to have surgery and the symptoms are minimal and manageable now) but otherwise have no discernible arthritis or other leg or hip issues. I most definitely have the difficulty you describe, primarily upon standing after an extended period of sitting, so I will practice your advice as shown, unless there is anything else I need know. Thank you for addressing and illustrating this issue so well.

Then I come right, and generally have no more problem with my lower back for the rest of the day.

Hi got siatica since 2012. from siting down when I get up it's like that standing I'm not straight standing but few seconds it eases the pain
I do not feel good with my back against the back of the chair. Actually, I have a lot of pain that happens in that position. Actually, our chairs are very poorly constructed for sitting because I think that the hips and thighs should be slightly higher than the knees ……also getting up, when there is a table in front of you, does not really allow for that kind of bending forward. I actually learned how to do this kind of rising that you’re teaching and I use it when I can no matter how graceful it looks!

So am so thankful to see how it is best to handle this pain after sitting or lying down too long or just not doing it properly. Glad to find a way to help rectify this to some extent. Do not like people knowing I have such problems. Appreciate the lessons to help alleviate some of the problems these various diseases cause one, when we least expect it. Most would never have dreamed I would have problems in functioning during my lifetime. People know I have had in the past the ability to dance, as took Tap, Jazz.

I can't say for certain what's going on in your case. If the "softness" is from swelling, sometimes swelling can drain down your legs (i.e. from your knees) and pool in your feet. If that's the case elevating the legs when sitting may help. If it's more of a numbness in the feet, this video may help: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d51qytOFfKmbj5s.html In either event, it would be a good idea to see a healthcare professional about it.

In general, you should feel better after getting treatment. Certainly let your chiropractor know about it so that they can modify the treatment approach the next time you see them. Being a little sore in the lower back can happen from time to time, but I'd be a little more concerned if the treatment is making the sciatica / leg symptoms worse.

I recently started playing tennis again and notice this a little after playing for a few hours as well.

@@More4Life I was watching the video about numbness that I have sometimes but right now I more pain and burning inside with the swelling also that sometimes it goes also to my legs I know the circulation is not good because I am very dehydrated is something I feel but it doesn’t show in any blood work I feel super dry and it seems like my condition is invisible I had COVID and developed long COVID symptoms but I had the neuropathy before just that the pain increased after that. They keep pumping me pills and I don’t think I can handle more the gabapentin is very addictive and I wish I can get out from its not working for long time. If you can help in another way i I’ll appreciate very much thank you
This is great for sitting in a chair. I have trouble when getting out of a car. Any suggestions? Thanks

You're not alone. That's why we made the video. Hopefully the tips will help.
Arthritis knees back
Question - if I sit for an extended period of time with my legs straight in front (ie., not in a chair but on floor or bed or some other horizontal plane), my front thigh muscles become very painful. If I understand correctly, this is some hip flexor pulling them. My question is - how do I address this? I have worked a number of months with a daily walk but also some exercises but I don't see improvement and I wonder whether this pain is the clue to what is actually stopping me from walking more comfortably. Thanks for your videos.

If you're sitting upright with out back support, it very well could be the hip flexors. One thing to try would be leaning against the backrest of the bed, or a wall or couch if sitting on the floor to see if that helps.

I am sitting with good back support. I just can't figure out what I'm missing in terms of exercises to get back to full walking. Thanks for your help and videos.@@More4Life
