Can you review my MRI results and let me know if my disc issue can heal without surgery or if physiotherapy would work better for it

MRI review needed to guide decision, but physiotherapy is often first-line for disc issues before considering surgery.

My wife has been dealing with headaches for the past 3 years, and over the last 45 months, they've gotten really severe. An MRI scan showed she has an arachnoid cyst. The pain is mostly at the back of her head, and sometimes when it's really bad, she feels like vomiting. Is there any treatment for this, or can it be cured without surgery?

I'm really worried about my father-in-law. He just had bypass surgery and a valve change, and things seemed okay when he was discharged. But then, just three days later, he had a brain hemorrhage and went into a coma. We moved him to another hospital and the doctor there is asking for blood plasma. The thing is, they're not really giving us any clear answers about when he might recover or how he's doing overall. Can you give us any advice or insight on this situation? We're feeling really lost right now.

Given the complexity of your father-in-law's condition, consider seeking a second opinion from a neurosurgeon or a critical care specialist to better understand his prognosis and treatment options, and ask the current doctor about the specific reasons for requesting bloodplasma, as well as the expected benefits and potential risks of this treatment approach.
