I'm wondering if I can use candid dusting powder as a replacement for candid b cream. Is it okay to switch them up, or is there a better alternative you would recommend? I'm curious if there's any major difference between the two that I should be aware of.

It's great to hear that you're experiencing improvement with medication.

To avoid surgery, consider the following:

Continue conservative management:

1. Physical therapy: Engage in exercises that strengthen your back and core muscles.
2. Pain management: Continue your current medication regimen under your doctor's guidance.
3. Lifestyle modifications: Maintain a healthy weight, improve your posture, and avoid heavy lifting.

Alternative treatments:

1. Epidural injections: Steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
2. Chiropractic care: Spinal manipulation and adjustments can help alleviate pressure on the affected discs.

Monitor your condition:

1. Regular follow-ups with your doctor to assess your progress.
2. Keep track of your symptoms, pain levels, and any changes.

Discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific condition.
