Can you tell me if a cervical disc bulge can be treated without surgery based on my MRI report I'm really worried about going under the knife and want to explore other options first

Cervical epidural injections are a well-established non-surgical treatment for C5-C6 disc bulge. They involve the injection of corticosteroids directly into the epidural space near the affected nerve roots. These injections provide both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.

I'm a 17-year-old boy dealing with a brain condition called calcified granuloma. I'm really unsure about what kind of diet I should follow now and what treatment options are available. Can you advise me on what I should be eating and how I might go about treating this?

I'm sorry to hear about your condition. For calcified granuloma in the brain, treatment typically involves managing any symptoms or underlying conditions. A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins like vitamin E can support brain health. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice for specific treatment options, which may include monitoring, medications, or possibly surgery depending on severity.
