I have a meningioma brain tumor and my doctor recommended surgery what's the best treatment plan for this? I want to make sure I get the most effective care possible

Radiation therapy is also useful in treating some benign tumors, including benign meningiomas. Radiation therapy is the first-line treatment for meningiomas that can't be fully removed or when the risk of surgery outweighs the potential benefit.

I have a disc bulge at C5-C7 according to my MRI report which shows cervical canal dimensions from C2 to C7 as C2C3 11mm, C3C4 9mm, C4C5 11mm, C5C6 10mm, C6C7 9mm. Doctors say this is causing my left arm and wrist pain, making it hard to sleep or work. I've seen multiple doctors but no one has given me a clear solution. Is this condition curable? Right now I'm doing isometric neck exercises but wondering if surgery might be needed. If I wanted to consult you in person, where in OMR road could I meet you?

I've been diagnosed with L5 S1 disc protrusion pressing on a nerve and I'm having pain in my right buttock along with numbness in my right thigh. Is surgery the only option or can this heal on its own with other treatments? The pain and numbness are really bothering me and I'm worried about long-term damage
Disc protrusion can improve with rest, physiotherapy, and medication. Surgery is needed if pain persists or worsens neurological symptoms.
