I watched with interest. Thanks. I used your diagnostic sheet and am pretty confident my flare ups are SI joint related. I have been doing bridges, clams and side leg raises as instructed by my PT but I still get flareups ...often after doing these as part of a yoga routine.I try to include stretch and strengthen for all muscle groups in my yoga practice. I enjoy fig 4 so I do it every day sitting on my bed before getting up. The clam definitely feels yukky to do but bridge stabilising w yoga block between knees feels nice. Leg raises are ok if I don't lift too high. So should I lay off clams for now? I am trying to better understand your methodolgy. I like to understand what I am doing and why. I thought that stretching and strengthening would resolve my issues permanently but I thing SI joint may need constant maintenance, right?

How many times a week should we do these exercises?

Buttock/Sciatica pain from sitting cross legged in meditation for long periods. Kept stretching, kept getting worse. You a lifesaver!!!!

I was told that I have a bulged disc causing my excruciating lower back pain. Any suggestions? The only solution offered is an epidural steroid injection so far.

Thanks doc for your good work yes It makes a lot of sense 👍 you gotta think positively about & keep plugging away or you will just lose your self

Apparently, my sciatica is gone, but the pain persist in my lower back. Doctor says it’s caused by L4 and L5 and wants to give me a steroid injection

I have piriformis syndrome type symptoms and related neck and shoulder pain, all on the left side. Ever heard of this? Thanks!

Hi Dr Johnson, my case is as follows: diagnosed with plantar fascitis and Baxter's nerve entrapment. PF seems more or less gone. X ray showed arthritis in left hip. Got the left hip adjusted and since then have what could be S1 related burning and stinging pain in both heels but worse on the right side, getting worse with walking. No leg pain but ridiculously tight calves and hamstrings. Physiotherapist suspects tight muscles in pelvis could irritate sciatica which I can feel in both feet (heels and inside of feet). I can't walk any longer than 5 minutes, my life is on standby. Physiotherapist did a treatment where he worked on unblocking nerve flow on left side of outer thigh. Felt extreme release of blocked energy and next day the symptoms were reduced by 40%. He told me to keep walking, however I overdid it and now heel pain is 8/10, unbearable. Any chances you may know what is going on with this pain and what I could try to alleviate this ..? Most appreciative and sending you warm regards, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thx Charlie! I've got a question: will these yucky motions not be yucky anymore with time?

Do not have surgery, Its to soon to even think about it. See different doctors. Have you tried ice packs, or heat?

Thank you for making this video. It was very helpful. I have a sciatic nerve problem. When to see a physical therapist. Started to do my exercises. I also stretch over the back of my couch to the front of my couch. Seems to open up my spine. I’m almost pain-free now. Just wanted to share this.

I'm only 36 and my lower back right on my spine and my lower left back is already garbage, and every year it gets worse. I've tried all sorts of stretches, ones I'm flexible enough to do, and nothing works. I'm also super fit because i take care of my health, its very depressing, really. Think I'm gonna finally call my doctor.

Thanks!

Is it possible to have to both

I’ve been struggling with this pain for several weeks after running. I’ve had no relief with stretching so tried this! Much better already, hopefully it keeps improving!

I have drop foot on right side and muscle weakness that does not allow me to put weight on that leg. This is due to central spinal stenosis. My understanding is that it takes ten to twelve months for the nerve to heal (if ever). Will the muscles not atrophy if not strengthened during the waiting period?

Thx for the video! Very well explained:)

Many~thanks💓started these yesterday and already what a difference to my butt pain🌟

Every vid you have put out Charlie have been amazing and helped me out so much🌟this is by far the most important video for me tho......I am a shocking over achiever......I'm probably one of the only 10 people in the whole of Australia that is a stress~head!! lol...many thanks from Oz, Jo💓

Please help me! Please help me! Please help me! 😭😭😭😭😭

I just want it to go away, I have exams to attend to now i have to ignore that and give this piriformis attention, like no! 😭😭😭😭😭

Like what should ido if these exercises don't work? 😭😭😭😭

Ive been sitting for long periods and now i have piriformis. I just want it to go away, like why me? i have so many things stressing me, i don't really need all of this, its just adding into the stress i already have. Lord help me 😭😭😭😭😭

None of those motions make my pain worse. Are there any other test motions?

For me, bridges 10 times for 10 sec and donkey kicks, 50 each leg.. I also do flutter kicks, 100 and side leg raises, 50 each side

I get a alot of burning and tingling sensations in my right foot calf and back of hamstring ONLY when i drive a car for about 5 minutes or so. Have had this for over 2 years and still ongoing 😢. Tried everything you can name and still no joy. I will try this and hope to see some results

Thank you for sharing Kyle. Doc Charlie is my go-to when I get flare ups. Reminds me about my mental dialogue and also the movements I do that is essentially 'poking the bear'.😊

Week layer after day of moving heavy furniture, cant walk without limp. Numbness on outside of left leg/foot. Started in butt. 58yr old. Active. Advice please, first injury.

You are so wrong.

This guys answer is probably closest to the truth...try stuff, starting with less, and if it makes it worse, do the opposite...!

Thank you SO much! I do not currently have health insurance, so I’m unable to go to the doctor, which was the reason for my research. I am blown away at how detailed your diagram is, and how helpful it is. Based on all of the steps, I believe the cause of my buttock pain, radiating down the back of my thigh and sometimes into my foot, is truly caused by SI Dysfunction (upstream). My symptoms began about 9 months ago, when working as a delivery driver for an HVAC company. Eventually, while driving for even 20-30 minutes, my right leg began hurting so bad, to the point I would have to put my hand under my leg for any relief, and at times, I’d have to pull over and get out and walk around to get relief. When I press the SI on my right side, the pain is excruciating. The left side is painful as well, or at least very tender, so it may even be Bilateral SI. I plan to take some anti inflammatory medication to start, and go from there. I am very grateful for this video, and the fact that the certified information is free. Beyond grateful! Thanks again! -TerrieLyn 😊

hmmm. I can raise my right leg no problem but my right hip is on fire and pain radiates far down my leg. Confusing.

So glad he’s better. So I heard that many people have this symptoms show up in the MRI. What makes one’s symptoms worse than others? in other words, I have some of these and all of a sudden one day in February I was in excruciating pain, but do not remember the event that led up to it

Hi Dr. Charlie Johnson, thank you for this video because it saved me from a longer and painful recovery! Now that the pain is about only a 2/10 and for about less than half of the day, how long would you recommend sleeping with pillows? Because now that I use a pillow while lying down, my back seems to hurt more than without it, but I don’t know if that risks me triggering the piriformis muscle again.

A great sign of a quack video is that it never gets to the point and you never really get a solution.

Do you have a video on some good exercises for herniations and DDD

10 years in for me. I was a personal trainer and loved free weights. It started when the Dr told me i was hyperflexive. I was a pilates junkee. After birthing 4 babies my relastin and ligaments are trashed. Lo and behold i have flat feet, flat back and 3 anular tears and SI issues. DDD and some calcification spurs on some. 5 herniatons in 4 years. Extremely painful. You literally feel the torn discs. And are we not seposed to fear our movements? After my 4th herniation I was determined to get well. Put my diet to raw mostly vegan. Felt inflammation leave after 1month. Started stretching again. Feeling way better. Then month 2 got the flu. My body was aching and something caused my l5 to herniate and the siatica just let up from pain of 10 to 2 after a week. Plus i don't take pain pills. I take a wholistic approach with herbs and teas. Now what? Im literally terrified to move. Are we not seposed to floss the siatic nerve?

😢back😢

So what were the exercises? I was waiting for it.

This is me for sure!!

Ive seen 8 other chiropractors that Say the opposite !! 😮

Thank you for this heads up. I will try this.

I did have bad sciatic pain, then it went and I was left with a limp. I’m assuming it’s an issue with the S1 because I can’t go up onto tiptoes on my left foot but can on my right. I can’t even lift it at all.
