Flare Ups & Sciatica

Hi! You have really saved my life. Over the past two yrs I’ve suffered several back injuries and have had to go on steroids bc of them. In Feb, I suffered a really bad back injury from which I still have terrible sciatica. But four wks ago I found your account and in combination w your exercises and stretching, I was able to touch my toes again with tolerable pain! This week I hit a new PR on squats and don’t feel back pain when pick up a 25 pound dumbbell. I have told everyone about you bc you’ve truly brought happiness through movement back into my life. Even though I still have sciatica, I feel myself getting better and stronger every week.

I’ve been working on this for a few months. Had a few flare ups and setbacks, but it is working. I don’t usually comment, but I gotta give a shout out where it’s due. 1.5 years of back pain is finally easing.

Helped me after a year of sciatica nightmares. Used to feel like I was being stabbed every time I tried to stand up. I can now do non-assisted back extensions and feel like I’m living my second chance in life.

Wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t learn all this from you. Thank you.

Brendan –

Like many others have said, thank you for what you do. I herniated L4–S1 and have been living in pain for about 6 months, afraid to move. Your page gave me the confidence to just try. Try any different than what I was doing before. PT and Chiro wasn’t helping. I integrated a lot of your exercises into my daily stretches and sessions. It’s been almost 2 months and the sciatic pain is pretty much gone. I have a lot of work to do to gain back my movement and strength but I’m well on my way. I owe it to you! I’m rooting for ya dude!

This is really an amazing community and program. For two days now, I haven’t been in any pain or discomfort. I haven’t felt this way in more than a year. I’ve had this flare up continuously. Pain would be moving from my lower back to left sciatica until my pinky toe and up again.

Hey man, just wanted to say your content has been amazing and truly inspiring. I’ve been dealing with sciatica since Nov 2023 from a back injury that happened summer 2023. With symptoms not improving, I got an MRI a couple weeks ago which confirmed a L5-S1 herniated disc. I’m not joking but this has been the hardest thing I’ve ever been through mentally and physically. I’ve had some horrible thoughts through all this but your content has continued to fuel me to not give up. I’m in the beginning stages of my recovery now but your story has given me such hope that I’ll get through this with the goal of being stronger than I ever was. Thanks again and keep killing it 🙏

Been doing some reflecting today, realizing I’m out of the mental and physical “hole” I’ve been in for a whole year.

I feel so dumb for relying on temporary pain relief from the chiropractor for a year. Which did nothing to fix me, just waste my money and give me temporary feelings of being “better”.I started this back program 4 months ago and have felt better in these last few months than I felt the entire year previous. My sciatica was cured almost instantly from the start of this program. I’m getting stronger, I was able to garden this past weekend with no soreness, which I was always sore after gardening even prior to hurting.

Hey guys. I’m never active on this chat but I wanted to share my story quickly to give some hope. I believe i’ve had my first real breakthrough. I’ve been dealing with back issues on and off for about 10 years. The past year dealing with sciatica has been the worst though. It started off in my lower back then slowly migrated down to my calf. To say I was in pain and suffering is an understatement. It ruined my life in every way. I had to stop working 6 months ago (which I believe helped recovery massively). I seriously considered surgery it got so bad.

Heyy brother,Just an appreciation message.I have been struggling with severe back pain and sciatica since last 5 years.No doctor or physio was able to make me feel any better.It has been a month now I started your BBB workout plan and I’ve not felt this better in the past few years.Really a heartfelt thank you.And God bless you.
