I have ligamentum flavum hypertrophy in the lumbar spine that causes lower back pain and pain in the left outerthigh down to the left knee. What exercises should I do

This is the brutal truth and best advice you will ever receive with regards back pain. You have to take ownership and manage your back problem yourself. No practitioner can fix it for you, they can help, they can advise but you have to do the work and keep doing it!

I have been diagnosed with Facet arthritis and suffer badly from muscle spasms every so often. This results in roughly 10 days of agony until they eventually die out.

This was one of the biggest lessons for me on my recovery journey - not focusing on the specific anatomical structure that may be the issue, which can be guesswork anyway, and instead focusing on the back as a unit and the whole thing working with control and strength. Gone from chronic pain, living in fear, not training my lower body to now doing deadlifts, RDLs, weighted squats and being capable of knocking out 40 rep back extension sets on the roman chair. The journey to get there from my low point to now took about two plus years, though. It's slow and it's not linear, you have flare ups and set backs along the way, but stick with it and it works.

Dang - this was informative. Thanks, interesting doctors don’t have time to explain this.

This is by and far the best description of facets injury and the link it has with disk injury. I have one question, how can I tell the difference from facets + disk injury from spondylolisthesis? I am yet to have imagistic investigations, I plan on an MRI and an x-ray, but I wanted to collect as much information on my possibilities of my back injury as possible in order to minimize further injury, of which I didn't take care at first after my stupid, knowingly done movement that led to disk herniation or bulging and then to facets injury, possibly to more than one disk/vertebrae.

Thank you so much!

Update: I guess when you have spondylolisthesis, you've also got facets injury and inflammation, so actually facets pain might also be a sign of spondylolisthesis... or it's the disk herniation that leads to a certain degree of spondylolisthesis and facets injury all at once?!

@Davidtorrez04 2 years ago

Wow I’ve watched hundreds of videos, this is by far the best. Very thorough, informative and presented in a way that can be understood! Thanks

@Imstarshine 2 years ago (edited)

This is very helpful thank you. I have an analytical type of thinking, I try to go through the intricacies of a topic, just so I know I'm not making a mistake or leaving out important information that might aid a professional while moving forward.

@julieparker1114 1 year ago

Thankyou for explaining all that. I have facet joint irritation in L1 and T12 causing muscle spasms. My physio has given me good instructions on what to do and not to do. I have to be patient and vigilant with following through and healing.

What are the best strength and load strengthening exercises

@14kCodGod 2 years ago

Needed this! Thanks so much.
Hurt my back 4 years ago from weight lifting. X-rays and MRI came back fine.
Back started hurting after I took up golf and then looked back at my old MRI to find out I have facet issues. Why they never told me, no clue but I’m doing physical therapy now.

Great video !! Loved this information truly doing the lord work by sharing it!

@jenniewaldron9025 1 year ago

This is so helpful thank you
I have had a few episodes of super painful back pain flare ups and have been quite depressed about my future after being diagnosed with facet joint arthritis
But the idea that I can work to improve my strength is giving me me hope for my future
It is hard to find local practitioners here in Devon who will support a steady plan of careful recovery work
Any recommendations?
Very committed to doing whatever it takes to build resilience in my back !

@vincl7578 2 years ago

Oefff, man what an educational vodeo. I have severe DDD with loss of signal, bone spurs, facet arthritis and have not really done anything about strengthening the area. That obviously needs to change. Thanks.
