Spinal Canal Stenosis Recovery Without Surgery | Rajesh’s 8-Week Progress

[00:00:00]I think it started as a leg pain. Right, I didn't realize it was a back pain. It started at the severe leg pain after a after a massage.

[00:00:08]I was thinking it was a sciatica and might go away on its own, but then it didn't. It stayed for longer. So >> I get you.

[00:00:16]>> Then I to get my get the MRI done.

[00:00:19]Yeah, I consulted the ortho doctor. He had given a medication for 15 days. That didn't go away. Then I had a stiffness in my leg and I could not bend.

[00:00:28]>> Uh-huh.

[00:00:29]>> Um so there was pain and then so it was not I can say I'm not comfortable, right? I'm not back to normal.

[00:00:35]So to be very sure I met a spine surgeon and he kind of suggested me to go through MRI.

[00:00:41]>> Yeah, just for diagnosis get the MRI and and and and you got the MRI and what they told you when you got the MRI?

[00:00:46]>> The MRI it was a little scary. At least I got scared or he did ask me to be very very careful because uh I have L4 L5 and L5 S1 which is bulging and pinching the nerve.

[00:00:59]>> And when you came to me and Rajesh, what was your concern? Like like like basically you start to kind of like get some rehab plan for me and how do you find a plan or or what was your what was your progress? Because today after like we spend like on 8 weeks now, you you sitting comfortable, you move comfortable, you lifting weights again and like kind of like we progress you to go back to the gym and we your pain is pretty stable, you're not getting sore as as as such. Maybe maybe share with you like what's the what's what do you find in this routine? Like how was the how was the routine in rehab or or or the consultation through what we did together, you know?

[00:01:34]>> I think the consultation reinforced the confidence on me.

[00:01:37]For sure. And then it also gave me a plan to slowly bring again build confidence in terms of what I can do, right? I was pretty much shut I kind of shut myself not doing anything. All I was just worrying what's going to happen. But this gave me a I mean the plan the weekly plan gave me confidence to slowly do do my things, right? I mean I think we kind of started the gym in like 6 week.

[00:01:59]So, it gave me the confidence to really get to uh get back to again going to gym and then I had initially a few in here and [clears throat] there, but it now I'm completely pain-free.

[00:02:09]>> Amazing.

[00:02:09]>> It's it's it's a more a structured way of gave me a more a disciplined way of going following some routine and then also helped me if I feel some discomfort go try some of your stretchings which you which kind of taught me. So, now I know if I get something how I kind of get back or >> Yeah.

[00:02:25]>> but >> Absolutely. Absolutely. That's amazing.

[00:02:27]And and in regards to I suppose um like information like if you have any question or something that you most of time people go and search on internet and do Google stuff and sometimes the information can't be really relevant. I think if you have any question, you have somebody to ask and if I don't know, I'll tell you I don't know, you know? I think that part is hugely helping you to create clarity for you and and be able to know, okay, at least I'm on the right track and I'm safe. Doesn't it um >> That's right. That's >> That's right. Yeah. Um and and Rajesh um right now um like we start your your routine you're going now back to the gym. How do you find going back to the gym? Like initially probably was a little scary, you know?

[00:03:05]>> That's right.

[00:03:06]>> Because the doctor told you don't lift anything more than 5 kg, right?

[00:03:09]>> That's right.

[00:03:10]>> Yeah, and and and I asked you to do that you can actually lift heavier than 5 kg.

[00:03:13]You're stronger than that. And what was the what was the response to that? How was your how was your like your body like and and mentally how how you feeling now?

[00:03:20]>> I'm feeling very refreshing, right? I kind of don't think a lot now. I I can go do things freely and ex- especially the way you the videos which you give and the guidance you provide gives me a lot of confidence go try it out. I don't really think a lot including the sitting posture as you said when I first met you I was trying to be very stiff >> Yeah.

[00:03:38]>> try to bend my back. Now, I mean, I would say I'm not conscious anymore, right? I can go try things. I can follow the video without any doubt. Uh >> Absolutely. And I think what you mentioned like you were very stiff and protective. You were thinking if I have to sit like that because I was sitting on your on the sofa and I said like what's the story? Like are you you're sitting very straight? Is that a sofa that's very hard or or you trying to be too protective? And and I think today um I think was the example that I saw you like you're very relaxed and chilled.

[00:04:06]And and when you move even when you're lifting and I shared some of the exercise that you you were doing today as well. And and I think um your progress has been great man and and I want to know Rajesh, do you think this program is something that people can like yourself uh get any advantages or clarity about their uh condition? And would you would you recommend this plan to somebody like yourselves?

[00:04:26]>> Certainly yes, right?

[00:04:29]I would say I'm kind of glad I found you else I probably I don't know what I would be doing. So certainly this has been I would say more of a lifesaver for me in a simple term.

[00:04:37]>> I'm happy to hear that.

[00:04:38]>> recommend I would certainly recommend recommend this to anybody. In fact, I am already suggesting you to others to go who has problems to go try this out. Yeah, I would certainly recommend this to anybody.

[00:04:50]>> Yeah, I'm I'm delighted to hear that man because honestly like the thing is that um um it's it's it's sometimes for people is very unrealistic that okay, I have to go see somebody physically online wouldn't be necessarily efficient. But like yourself and and a lot of other people that we have I mean I try to kind of share your experience with people like yourself because part of it is obviously is is helping you to to get hope and and and clarity. And I'm not saying this routine is suits for everybody, but I think a lot of people can get actually some sort of clarity and and get started and build them physically and and mentally and get them back in action.
