View allI'm really struggling with cervical spondylosis and loss of cervical lordosis. My MRI report indicates some serious stuff like a C5-C6 disc with an annular fissure and diffuse posterior bulge, and it's even got central herniation pressing on my spinal cord and affecting both neural foramina. There's this hyperintense signal on the left side of my spinal cord suggesting myomalacia. Also, the C6-C7 disc has its own issues with another fissure and bulge, plus a right paracentral herniation affecting my spinal cord and right C7 nerve, again encroaching on both neural foramina. With all this, I get this annoying tingling in my legs and nerve pain in one of my right-hand fingers. Sitting for long periods just makes my entire spine hurt. I'm curious if there's any Ayurvedic treatment out there that could completely cure this. Also, would I be able to handle any job with my condition? I've tried physiotherapy treatments like IFT, ultra cervical traction, and steam for months, which seemed to help for a while. But the pain is back. Should I keep doing the same physiotherapy again, or is there anything else you'd recommend?

I'm really concerned because my mom keeps having this burning sensation all over her body. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. Could you suggest some effective medicine or treatment options that might help her?
burning sensation throughout the body can be unsettling. There are several possible explanations, and I'll outline some potential causes and suggestions: *Possible Causes* 1. *Nerve damage or neuropathy*: Damage to nerves can cause burning sensations. 2. *Vitamin deficiencies*: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12, B6, or B1 can lead to burning sensations. 3. *Diabetes*: High blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage, leading to burning sensations. 4. *Thyroid disorders*: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause burning sensations. 5. *Menopause*: Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to burning sensations. 6. *Medication side effects*: Certain medications, such as antibiotics or anticonvulsants, can cause burning sensations. 7. *Infections*: Certain infections, like shingles or multiple sclerosis, can cause burning sensations. *Medications and Remedies* Please consult your doctor before taking any medications. They will help determine the underlying cause and recommend the best course of treatment. 1. *Vitamin supplements*: Ensure your mother is getting adequate vitamins, especially B12, B6, and B1. 2. *Pain relievers*: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) may help alleviate burning sensations. 3. *Topical creams*: Creams containing capsaicin or lidocaine may help reduce burning sensations. 4. *Anticonvulsants*: In some cases, anticonvulsant medications like gabapentin or pregabalin may be prescribed to help manage burning sensations.

I've been feeling some weird things lately, and I'm a bit worried. Last night, my sister said I was experiencing jerks in my sleep. Today, I'm noticing that parts of my body seem to move involuntarily when I'm trying to fall asleep. Plus, I've barely slept more than 5 hours a night this past week. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be serious?
That could be neurological problem like siezures or tremors,visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management
