Season 1: Stabbed in the Back: Ep 004 - Finding Relief After 13 Years of L5-S1 Disc Herniation (San Diego Mike)

Host Andy, a physical therapist, and co-host Andrew, an exercise physiologist, interview “San Diego Mike” about finally getting relief after about 13 years of recurrent flare-ups from an L5-S1 disc herniation. Mike describes an active lifestyle (basketball, surfing, climbing, tennis, beach volleyball) and years of cycling through multiple PT clinics, self-remedies, and frequent ibuprofen without understanding triggers or root causes; he recalls being told surgery would require disc replacement and he’d likely have to live with it. A recent PT helped him identify flexion-related and jerky-sport movements as flare triggers, adopt core bracing and hip-hinge strategies, and build sport-specific strength (RDLs, squats, band hips), allowing continued volleyball and fewer symptoms, with remaining fatigue and occasional leg sensations. The wrap-up highlights positive movement experiences, balancing passive and active care, pros/cons of rigid bracing versus relaxation, activity modification, and hypervigilance/fear in chronic pain. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:55 Meet San Diego Mike 01:35 Active Lifestyle Breakdown 04:42 Beach Volleyball Focus 05:36 PT Routine And Training 08:53 Trigger Movements Insight 12:16 Origin Of The Injury 14:01 Years Of Trial And Error 18:30 Symptoms And MRI Details 24:06 Breaking The Flare Up Cycle 26:36 Bracing In Sports And Walking 30:49 Daily Life Modifications 32:13 Guardrails and flareups 33:13 Fatigue cues and leg symptoms 35:42 Lifestyle factors and stress 3 7:45 Medical advice and surgery fears 41:44 Soreness vs pain confusion 44:31 Hypervigilance and deadlift trust 47:14 Parsing safe soreness 49:43 Goodbyes and episode close 50:54 Host recap key takeaways 54:20 Rigid trunk pros and cons 58:24 Relaxing the brace strategy 01:01:36 Fear and chronic pain wrap
