I'm really struggling with cervical spondylosis and loss of cervical lordosis. My MRI report indicates some serious stuff like a C5-C6 disc with an annular fissure and diffuse posterior bulge, and it's even got central herniation pressing on my spinal cord and affecting both neural foramina. There's this hyperintense signal on the left side of my spinal cord suggesting myomalacia. Also, the C6-C7 disc has its own issues with another fissure and bulge, plus a right paracentral herniation affecting my spinal cord and right C7 nerve, again encroaching on both neural foramina. With all this, I get this annoying tingling in my legs and nerve pain in one of my right-hand fingers. Sitting for long periods just makes my entire spine hurt. I'm curious if there's any Ayurvedic treatment out there that could completely cure this. Also, would I be able to handle any job with my condition? I've tried physiotherapy treatments like IFT, ultra cervical traction, and steam for months, which seemed to help for a while. But the pain is back. Should I keep doing the same physiotherapy again, or is there anything else you'd recommend?

I took an Alfoo tablet before bed about a month ago, and a strange thing happened. Around five hours later, I went to use the washroom, and on my way back, I suddenly fell unconscious. After a little while, I sat up and spoke, but then I blacked out again. Could this be from the Alfoo tablet? Does it mean I might be allergic to it? I haven't taken any other medication or passed out since then, so I'm a bit concerned. Any insights?

it just might be a sideeffect of that medicine, drink plenty of water next time with that medicine

I've never experienced anything like this until last week. I heard a loud pop in my brain, kind of at the top center, but more towards my forehead. Then I felt this sharp, radiating pain in that spot, and after that, it was just nothing. What could cause something like that besides a brain aneurysm? 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?
