I have cervical spine PIVD at C5-C6 with compression of the left C6 root causing severe left arm pain. My left thumb and half of my arm feel weak and inactive. Are there any effective non-surgical treatments that could help with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, there are several effective non-surgical treatments for cervical spine PIVD (prolapse of intervertebral disc) at C5-C6 with compression of the left C6 nerve root, especially if the left arm pain, thumb and arm weakness, and inactive feeling are your main concerns. These include physical therapy, medications, and potentially epidural injections.

View allI've been noticing that every time I use my cellphone, I start to get this strange chest pain. It's like my phone is somehow affecting my lungs, and then I have trouble breathing and my mouth feels really dry. I also think it's affecting the blood flow to my brain because I've been having these major memory issues and my mind just feels foggy. It's been happening for almost two years and seems to be getting worse. I'm really worried about my cognitive decline, like I can't remember things or visualize clearly. Is there something wrong with me specifically or has anyone else experienced this too? And is there any way to medically deal with it? I do notice that the chest pain eases up when I stay away from my phone.
Psychiatric opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm taking Leon 500 and teczine and I'm wondering if they might cause any problems with my vertigo. I've been feeling a bit off and it's making me worry about my condition. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Taking Leon 500 (Levofloxacin) can potentially cause dizziness and vertigo as side effects. Teczine (Levocetirizine) is an antihistamine which may also cause dizziness in some individuals. The combination of these medications could worsen your vertigo symptoms. I recommend consulting your doctor to discuss alternative medications that may be more suitable for your vertigo condition.
