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?

I'm feeling some pain on the right side of my face, including my cheekbone, jaw, eye, and forehead. It's been bothering me, and I'm just trying to figure out what might be causing it. Could it be something serious, or is it more likely related to something like a sinus issue or stress? What should I do to alleviate the pain?

I've been having tingling and pins and needles in both hands along with numbness. Got an NCV test done for both upper limbs and currently taking Tab Gabapin 300 twice daily and Tab Rejunex once daily. Wanted to know if continuing medicines would help or if surgery might be a better option for this condition

conservative tt is advised ,if symptoms are still persisting a neurologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's got sciatica, and the pain was just unbearable this morning, so she went to see a doctor. He gave her Pregabalin and Mecobalamin capsules to take. I totally get that the doctor knows his stuff, but I'm just a bit concerned since she also has high blood pressure. Are these capsules safe for her to take? I'd really appreciate any advice or reassurance.

yes continue the medications ..
