I'm experiencing an issue with my gym routine. I've been working out for a year now, and I've noticed that my left trapezius muscle is larger than my right. It's causing a bit of a body imbalance. What would you suggest I do to even them out?

I've had lower back issues for 12 years, and my recent MRI showed a protruded disc and severe disc bulge from L2 to S1 affecting four discs. Doctors advised against surgery and recommended managing it with physiotherapy. Will I have to keep suffering like this, or are there any nonsurgical treatments that can permanently fix my lower back problem? I've already spent around 80,000 on physio, ayurveda, yoga, marma therapy, and painkillers with no lasting relief.

Long-standing disc bulge needs targeted rehab; surgical options like microdiscectomy can be explored if symptoms persist.

I'm having a tough time with my jaw lately. When I open my mouth, it shifts to the right, and when I close it, it goes to the left. There's also this clicking sound on the right side whenever I open my mouth. It seems like the left side is way more flexible than the right. Plus, I'm finding it hard to open my mouth fully and I've been experiencing trouble breathing when I sleep on my back. My face feels so tight and tired all the time. On top of that, my neck and back are hurting quite a bit. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Are there any exercises or treatments that might help with this?

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. You can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg to reduce inflammation and pain in the jaw joint. For the clicking sound and difficulty in jaw movement, you can try doing jaw exercises such as gentle jaw stretches, chin tucks, and jaw opening and closing exercises. These exercises can help improve the mobility and strength of your jaw muscles. It is also important to practice good posture, avoid chewing gum, and eat soft foods to reduce strain on your jaw. Applying a warm compress to the jaw area can also help alleviate muscle tension. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend seeking further evaluation and treatment from a dentist or a TMJ specialist.
