I got some iron pieces stuck in my forehead and I'm worried about how much it would cost to remove them through surgery. Can you give me an idea of the expenses involved?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The cost to remove iron pieces from the forehead through surgery can vary significantly depending on factors like the size and location of the pieces, the complexity of the surgery, and the specific hospital or clinic. Generally, expect costs for the surgery itself, anesthesia, and possible follow-up care

View allI'm 26 and I recently had an MRI done that shows I've got diffuse annular bulging at L5S1. It mentions minimal compression of the thecal sac. I'm really concerned and a bit confused about what this all means for me. What should I be doing next? Is this something I need to worry a lot about?
The diffuse annular bulging at L5S1 causing minimal thecal sac compression can be managed conservatively initially. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain management. Additionally, physical therapy and exercises focusing on strengthening the core muscles can help alleviate symptoms. In some cases, muscle relaxants like Cyclobenzaprine may be prescribed to help with muscle spasms. If the pain persists, your doctor may consider prescribing stronger medications like Tramadol. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I have spinal stenosis with a 5.5 mm AP diameter at L4-L5 disc and I'm not sure whether to see a neurosurgeon or an orthopedist if surgery is needed. Also, would a laminotomy or laminectomy be better for my condition?
Discectomy is advised to the patient.
