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 have diffuse disc bulges from C3 to C6 and take pregabalin and tramadol but still need aceclofenac 100mg twice daily for proper pain relief. Physiotherapy didn't help and multiple doctors say surgery isn't an option. Is it safe to keep taking aceclofenac long-term? I'm worried about kidney damage but don't have other choices for pain management.
discectomy is advised.

I've been noticing this strange warm sensation in my lower leg lately. It pops up for about a minute then just disappears on its own. There's no pain or swelling, just feels like heat is leaving that area. Occasionally, I'll feel it in my back or shoulder too, but it's pretty rare. Could this be linked to having had Covid a couple of months ago? I had my d-dimer checked back then and it was normal. What might be going on with these sensations?
The intermittent, brief, and painless warm sensations in your lower leg, back, or shoulder could be due to various benign causes, such as vasospasm (temporary blood vessel constriction), nerve sensitivity, or muscle relaxation, and while it's reassuring that your D-dimer levels were normal after COVID-19, it's still possible that you may be experiencing post-COVID-19 symptoms, such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction or peripheral neuropathy, so consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action is recommended.
