Members shared practical approaches to managing a trapped nerve in the lower back, with several recommending heat therapy through hot baths or heating pads followed by gentle stretching. Many members described helpful stretches, including hanging from a doorframe or being gently lifted to decompress the spine, lying flat with knees bent and slowly rotating them side to side, and full-body stretches with pointed toes and alternating arm and leg extensions. A recurring theme was the value of working with a physical therapist for personalized guidance, being patient with recovery, and combining natural remedies like turmeric with prescribed treatments while listening carefully to how your body responds.

If you can hang from something dropping your body weight it will ease your disc back in if you can't do that get someone tall that can lift you under the arms off the floor you have to be floppy, I'm 5ft2in and my sons are 6ft tall so can do this for me. Also lay on bed stretch arms above your head toes pointed and stretch left arm and right leg then do opersit side also lay on bed knees bent arms stretched to the side then drop knees to the left slowly then bring to centre then go over opposite side holding for a count off 5.

I find hanging helpful too, as well as heating pad
I am tall enough, I can reach the door frame, and hang from it
