My child was just diagnosed with mitochondrial progressive external ophthalmoplegia and they're recommending surgery for drooping eyelids. How bad does this condition usually get over time? Could it become fatal or lead to complete vision loss? I know there's no cure yet for this rare disorder, but I'm really worried about how it progresses and what to expect in the later stages. Can you give some insight on what the final stages might look like?

Mitochondrial disorders progress slowly—eyelid surgery may help vision, but long-term effects vary—regular neuro follow-up is key.

I've had lower back pain since October 2020, and my MRI showed disc bulging at L3, L4, L5, and S1. I also have sciatica nerve pain down my left leg. I've been doing physiotherapy with heat and electrotherapy for 18 days, but it's not getting better. Would seeing a chiropractor help faster, or is surgery my only option?

Disc bulges with sciatica may improve with physiotherapy and pain meds; chiropractic care may help but surgery is advised only if severe symptoms persist.

I'm experiencing these weird full-body muscle vibrations, almost like internal waves, whenever I move. It's been going on for about 2.5 years now, and it happens in my neck, shoulders, arms, legspretty much everywhere. Whenever I bend down, I feel this wave-like sensation in my back, too. Along with that, I've been having neck and back pain. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really curious and a bit worried about these symptoms.
