I'm experiencing some twitching in my right eye and it's been happening for about a week now. Should I be concerned or is it okay to just ignore it? I'm really curious about what could be causing this, so any insight you could give would be helpful.

Eye twitching, also known as myokymia, can be caused by various factors such as stress, fatigue, caffeine intake, or eye strain. In most cases, it is benign and resolves on its own. However, if the twitching persists for more than a week or is accompanied by other symptoms such as redness, pain, or vision changes, it is advisable to seek medical attention. To help alleviate the eye twitching, you can try using lubricating eye drops and reducing your caffeine intake. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Botox injections to help with severe or persistent eye twitching. If the eye twitching continues or worsens, please consult with an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and management.

Can you tell me if a cervical disc bulge can be treated without surgery based on my MRI report I'm really worried about going under the knife and want to explore other options first
Cervical epidural injections are a well-established non-surgical treatment for C5-C6 disc bulge. They involve the injection of corticosteroids directly into the epidural space near the affected nerve roots. These injections provide both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.
