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
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

Physiotherapy didn't help and multiple doctors say surgery isn't an option. Is it safe to keep taking aceclofenac long-term?

I'm really worried about my mom's condition. She's been having this burning sensation in both her legs, and despite visiting several doctors, we're still not sure what's going on. We've heard it could be related to the sciatica nerve, varicose veins, or even complications from the hip replacement surgery she had five years ago. Could you help us figure out the exact cause?

I'm in my 20s with no known family history of brain aneurysms, but I do have cousins with brain tumors. What do you think it could be?
