I was diagnosed with cervical spondylitis or stenosis last year through an MRI and I'm really worried about surgery are there other treatment options that can help manage this condition without going under the knife

Yes, there are many non-surgical options available to manage cervical spondylitis and stenosis, aiming to relieve pain and improve function. These include physical therapy, medications, injections, and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is typically reserved for severe cases when other treatments are ineffective

My dad has blepharospasm where his left eye and cheek keep twitching nonstop, and it's really bothering him. He even gets headaches from it. Doctors mentioned surgery or injections as options, but I'm wondering if there are other treatments we could try first. What else might help with this?

I hit my right temple about a day ago and it's still really hurting. It's tender to the touch and I've had a headache for around 20 hours. I'm also feeling on and off nauseous, and it hurts in my temple when I open my mouth. I'm still pretty cognitive though. I'm not sure what's going on. Any idea what might be wrong?

if you experience any of the following, seek medical help immediately: Severe headache that doesn't improve with rest or medication. Persistent or worsening nausea. Dizziness or confusion. Blurry vision or difficulty focusing. Any change in cognitive function, such as memory problems, difficulty concentrating, or confusion.Based on your symptoms, your doctor may recommend an MRI or CT scan of your head to rule out any serious injury, like a concussion or fracture, and to ensure there is no internal bleeding.

I'm really confused and a bit worried about something I've been experiencing for the past year. I've been having this floating sensation and imbalance when I walk. I got an MRI done for both my brain and cervical spine, but they came back normal. What's weird is that sometimes it goes away for about 15 days and then just comes back. It's driving me insane! I dont have headaches, blurred vision, hearing issues, high blood pressure, or diabetes. It all started with this spinning feeling when I got up from bed, but now it mostly feels like imbalance. I consulted an ENT doctor who said it's not BPPV. I've also been to 3 or 4 neurophysicians and tried some medications but they didnt help. One of them suggested it might be anxiety, but I'm really lost here and dont know what to do next. Could you please suggest any other possibilities or any other steps I should take? I'm honestly at a loss and could use some direction.

That could be BPPV or Anxiety,follow your doctors advice maintain proper posture,and stay physicially active and take adequate rest
