Question 1

I'm experiencing some stiffness in my lower back and there's pain that's running through my right leg. Occasionally, my right leg even feels numb. There are also weird sensations in my lower back. I've already done an X-ray and MRI, which showed that there's a disc bulge and the disc is compressed. What do you think might be going on, and what should I do next?

Accepted Answer

That could be Lumbago, maintain proper posture and get physiotherapy done, avoid lifting heavy weights take adequate rest

Question 2

I've been dealing with some issues after testing positive for COVID-19 back in September. Initially, I only lost my taste and smell, and while I did test negative after two weeks, I'm still having trouble. It's been over a month now, and although my sense of taste is slowly coming back, it's nowhere near normal. Plus, I keep getting headaches. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how to recover fully?

Accepted Answer

That needs further evaluation,visit neurophysician for the same and appropriate management

Question 3

I'm dealing with vertigo for the past four months, and it's really bothering me. Every time I change position, even for just about 34 seconds, this dizziness hits. My family doctor suggested I take Vitcofol, Neurobion Forte, and Betahistine 16, and I got some injections too, but it hasn't helped much. The vertigo seems to be worse in the morning, and I'm struggling to stand properly. I'm only 20, and my CT scan came back normal. Could there be something else causing this, or should I try different treatments?

Accepted Answer

You've taken the right steps:

1. _Cooling the burn_: Running the burn under cold water, then ice water, helped reduce the temperature and ease pain.
2. _Ice compresspack_: Applying something cold has helped numb the pain.

_Current situation:_

1. _Pain persistence_: The throbbingstinging pain, even after 24 hours, indicates the burn is likely deeper than initially thought.
2. _Cold relief_: The fact that cold compresses provide relief suggests the burn is still inflamed.

_Recommended next steps:_

1. _Seek medical attention_: Visit a doctor or a burn specialist to assess the burn's depth and provide proper treatment.
2. _Topical creamsointments_: Your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments to promote healing, reduce pain, and prevent infection.
3. _Pain management_: Your doctor can recommend pain management options, such as pain relievers or nerve blocks.
4. _Wound care_: Proper wound care, including dressing changes and antibiotic ointments, can help promote healing and prevent infection.

I'm dealing with these really intense throbbing migraines, usually about once every two months, and I've been taking Dart to help manage them. I'm wondering if it's safe to stick with this medication? Would love your insight.

Yes you can take it no problem.
