I have avascular necrosis in the scaphoid bone of both wrists and a fracture in the left wrist scaphoid too but I didn't have any injury it just happened naturally. Doctors are suggesting surgery as the only option but is there any chance to recover with just medication or other non-surgical treatments?

I've had low back pain for 8 months and an MRI showed a disc bulge, but the doctors haven't explained what caused it. Painkillers don't help, and I can't sit or work for more than an hour without pain. Even lifting slightly heavy things is tough. Do I really need surgery for this? I'm worried about steroid injections because of side effects like weight gain what else can I do to get back to normal life?

Surgery is not always needed; structured physiotherapy and core strengthening can help avoid injections and regain function.
